The Dr. London Podcast

In today's episode, Dr. Jeremy London, board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, breaks down the most common cholesterol question he gets: how do you actually lower your ApoB? He explains why ApoB predicts cardiovascular risk better than LDL-C, why insulin sensitivity is the through line connecting sugar, saturated fat, fiber, muscle, and body weight, and what to do when you've done everything right and your numbers still won't budge.

After decades working in men's health, one thing is clear: most of what determines how long and how well men live comes down to understanding the body, knowing where the risks are, and acting on them early enough to make a difference.

In this episode I cover risks across cardiovascular health, mental health, the screenings most men put off, and what building a genuine foundation for long term health actually looks like for you and the people around you.
