Heart disease is still the leading cause of death worldwide. Yet many people assume it only happens to those who are older, out of shape, or obviously unhealthy.
In this episode, I sit down with cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London, whose own heart attack challenged many of the assumptions we make about heart health. We discuss why prevention isn't always as straightforward as it seems—and how understanding your personal risk can help you take a more proactive approach to your health.
We cover:
Why some healthy people still develop heart disease
The difference between standard cholesterol tests and a more complete assessment
How to better understand your personal cardiovascular risk
The lifestyle changes that can help lower your long-term cardiovascular risk
