The Dr. London Podcast

Why Time Speeds Up As You Age (And The 3 Things That Slow It Down)

Most longevity conversations focus on two things: living longer (lifespan) and living healthier (healthspan). But there's a third pillar almost nobody talks about.  In this video, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London introduces timespan, the science of how you experience the time you have. Why does a year at 50 feel shorter than a summer at 7? Why do we reach our deathbeds feeling like we "just blinked"? And what can we actually do about it? In this episode, Dr. London breaks down: * The Proportional Theory of Time, the mathematical reason why time speeds up as you age (and why you've already lived half your "felt" life by 17 or 18) * The neuroscience of episodic memory, how your brain decides what gets recorded in 4K vs. what gets skipped * The Reminiscence Bump: Why ages 15–25 feel richest in memory, and how to recreate that density * 3 levers to reclaim your time perception: Flow, Presence, and Purpose My Newsletter⁠ https://www.drjeremylondon.com/newsletter⁠ [https://www.drjeremylondon.com/newsletter%E2%81%A0] Thank you to our sponsors Function: www.functionhealth.com/london [https://www.functionhealth.com/london] LMNT: www.drinklmnt.com/london [https://www.drinklmnt.com/london] My Social Media Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/drjeremylondon/ ⁠ [%E2%81%A0https://www.instagram.com/drjeremylondon/%20%E2%81%A0] TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@drjeremylondon⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@drjeremylondon%E2%81%A0] Facebook:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/drjeremylondonmd ⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/drjeremylondonmd%20%E2%81%A0] ** The information in this video is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

The 6 Levers That Could Save Your Heart From Sugar

Most people think healthy living means getting it perfect every day. After 25 years as a cardiovascular surgeon, I can tell you that mindset is exactly what's keeping people stuck. Real life doesn't pause for your health goals. Sick kids. Late mornings. A meal grabbed on the run - again. In this episode, I'm talking about something nobody in medicine wants to admit: the gap between what we tell patients to do and the life they actually have to live. Because here's what I've learned from the operating table - your health story isn't written in a single day. The ledger stays open. And every choice you make today, imperfect as it may be, is still a vote for the person you're becoming. This isn't about letting yourself off the hook. It's about staying engaged, staying attentive, and understanding that tomorrow is always another opportunity to cast a different vote.

Ignoring Your Medication Is More Dangerous Than You Think - Heart Surgeon Explains

Most people think needing medication means they've failed. After 25 years as a cardiovascular surgeon, I think that mindset is putting lives at risk, including my own. In this episode, I'm stories I rarely talk about: a patient who did everything "right”, and the moment I ignored my own warning signs as a heart surgeon. Both of us had the same blind spot and it almost cost everything. The truth is lifestyle is powerful. But it's not everything. And refusing medication when your biology demands it isn't discipline...it's a dangerous gamble. *My Newsletter⁠* https://www.drjeremylondon.com/newsletter⁠ *Thank you to our sponsors* Rorra : rorra.com/london Rho : rhonutrition.com/london *My Social Media* Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/drjeremylondon/ ⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@drjeremylondon⁠ Facebook:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/drjeremylondonmd ⁠ As a board-certified cardiovascular surgeon, I often discuss how important it is to address health concerns. This video highlights that taking medications is a strategic approach to risk reduction, not a sign of failure, especially when considering individual medical genetics. While lifestyle changes are powerful for overall health science, they don't always solve every issue, and sometimes medical education emphasizes the necessity of interventions. We must embrace all available tools in healthcare for optimal medlife. * The information in this video is not intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

We’ve Been Thinking About Heart Disease All Wrong...
