Episode 7
Thursday, May 22, 2025 • Duration 27:52
Dr. Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, shares a powerful warning about vaping after treating young patients with life-threatening lung injuries—some requiring ECMO. Though often seen as safer than smoking, vaping delivers harmful chemicals, and its long-term risks remain unknown. Dr. London debunks common pro-vaping arguments and emphasizes that quitting takes personal commitment and proven methods like nicotine replacement therapy. He calls vaping a growing public health crisis and urges education to help people make informed choices.

How to Build Your Nutrition Plan: Food is Medicine
Episode 8
Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 52:22
In this episode, Dr. Jeremy London—a cardiovascular surgeon with over 25 years of experience—shares his journey from treating end-stage disease to embracing a preventative, holistic approach centered on nutrition, functional medicine, and lifestyle. Prompted by burnout and a near-fatal heart event despite a healthy lifestyle, he discusses how food as medicine, functional medicine training, and biomarker tracking (like CGMs and A1C) helped him redefine his health philosophy. He emphasizes that everyone needs to find their own sustainable, data-informed nutritional plan—whether it’s whole foods, keto, vegan, or another approach—and that real health change comes not just from knowledge but from action, accountability, and self-awareness.
In this reflective episode, Dr. Jeremy London, a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon with 25 years of experience, shares 20 deeply personal lessons learned throughout his medical career and life. Framed as an evolving roadmap rather than a checklist. Dr. London emphasizes that growth comes through humility, listening, curiosity, and embracing change. Ultimately, he reminds us that while professional achievement matters, it’s the people we love—and how we care for ourselves and others—that define a meaningful life.
