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.

11 Things I Wish They Taught Me in Med School (Heart Surgeon)

After 25 years and thousands of open-heart surgeries, one truth stands above everything: I can save your life, but I can't live it for you. The decisions that determine how long and how well you live happen daily, at home, not in my operating room. In this episode, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Jeremy London shares the 11 most important lessons his career in medicine has taught him, the ones that weren't in the textbooks, that med school got wrong, or that science has completely overturned since he qualified.

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.
