This is why I decided to follow this Dr. So happy to finally find a Dr. who knows that eating grass with no meat and zero processed food is not sustainable. Like, eat grass all you want, you’re still going to die! I see super athletes and diet gurus dying like flies! Fasting and moderation is the key. Thank God I have had the fasting habit for years and have divine health from God, because Jesus teaches that in the Bible. Give your life to Jesus everyone and the Holy Spirit will come inside you and teach you all things through the Bible. Thanks Dr!👏🏽🙏🏾❤️
Dear Dr London, thank you so much for all of your videos. So enjoyable and informative. I look forward to them now each day. I’ve been retired for almost ten years and cook whole foods from breakfast to dinner. Neither my husband nor I have high blood pressure or other cardiovascular issues, though everyone in both of our families are on medications. Of course we exercise too which is probably a big factor. I’ve come to realize that saying anything to our siblings falls on deaf ears. They continue to eat fried foods and desserts and get higher doses of statins and BP meds and wonder why their ct scans show plaque buildup. After watching my father have bypass surgery and strokes, I’m too scared not to at least make an effort. Keep doing your wonderful videos and perhaps you will change life styles and, consequently, quality of life for many in addition to your incredible skills as a cardiac surgeon. Best to you and your family and the cutie dog!
Thank you for all the kind words. I love to hear the effort you are making to take control of your health. I will do my best to share what’s working for me and hopefully it helps others!
agreed!! I spent 4 days watching my Brother in law take a handful of pills for various ailments.. then eating all the garbage foods. He is diabetic, and continues with all the snacks and ice cream daily, bemoaning his health issues. I gave him a book on Diabetes.. I am sure that he never read it. Probably threw it in the trash.
@@anniesshenanigans3815 I know exactly what you mean. And ice cream has so much sugar. Once in a while maybe but it’s a way of life and they know it’s not good but they just “can’t” change. No self discipline. It’s hard work at first, but then it becomes a way of life to eat right. For men, many times depends on what their wives cook - or don’t cook. lol.
I have really been enjoying your videos. Social media can cause confusion about what's really healthy, so I'm glad there are channels like yours providing some guidance. We have also started cleaning up our dogs diet as well. She's much happier and energetic.
I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying the content. Makes it much more enjoyable for me to know other's are getting something from it! Same with our pups!
Diversity in your diet is the best way to eat. Whole food, organic, pastor raised etc etc. I love this video. It’s awesome seeing someone speak about this topic that actually lives by it, but also holds the credentials that has allowed others to take them serious. I’ll be subscribing to the channel. I’ll be looking forward to more informative videos like this one.
Being able to actually see the foods contained in the Mediterranean diet, and also understanding the term ‘whole foods’, really simplifies the method to eating healthy. Thank you for creating such clear and concise videos that create an easy map for us to follow. You’re a Diamond in the rough, Dr. London.
I feel lucky to have direct access to your thoughtful and informative professional insights. Love the sprinkled physiological "knowledge nuggets" you share (such as visceral fat connection to inflammation), thank you! ❤
Dear Dr London, I Suffer from high blood pressure. I was eating Processed Foods and Sweets for 18 Years. I became Overweight. I never Exercised. In 2020 I got Sick. Then I was told by My Cardiologist to Eat less Salt. I Changed my diet, I lost 40 pounds I have 20 more pounds to lose. I don’t eat Processed food anymore. Only Once in a Blue Moon. I eat Natural foods and A Mediterranean diet. I exercise, I stopped eating Sugar. I was a Sugar Addict, now I’m a recovering SUGAR Addict. I was a very anxious Person. Now I’ve learned to deal with Stress and Anxiety through God. (Prayers & Meditation.) I always think Optimistic. I have Changed My Mindset. I’m happy. I saw my Doctor 2 Weeks ago I had lab Works and physical. My Doctor told me I’m Better than Ever. I’m in my 40’s. Any More Advice from you that Can help me Improve even Further. Thank you Doc & God Bless. 🙏🙏
Great progress! You might just want to also make sure you are getting quality sleep. Keep up the focus on clean whole foods and stepping up your exercise as you drop weight, get stronger and more capable. Strength training is very beneficial if you have access to it. :)
I do not know if you will see that Sir but you are absolutely amazing and life changing. You should consider daily vlogging with someone following you due to your busy schedule. Thank you for sharing the secrets of a happy life. You are very charismatic and inspiring in so many ways. Thank you. All the best to you and your family.
Love the event video while hunting deer Watched one of your videos a few weeks ago but didn’t realise you where speaking from a patient pout of VEIW. Will search out more having had a triple bypass 18 months ago it’s interesting you talk about what’s now important to you I completely understand Thanks again
My favorite social media cardiologists. Thankful for all the general healthcare advise. Any specific healthcare advise for cardio patients that have had OHS, e.g. exercise regime, how hard can they exercise. Perhaps you can do a video on that.
Avocado oil, by the way, is not a seed oil. It's made only from the soft meat of the fruit. I am glad to hear you say it's not all bad though. I do love sunflower oil as my salad dressing with a little salt and lemon.
What is often described as "the Mediterranean diet" is kind of deceptive. Firstly, depends which part of the Mediterranean. Starting at Greece and heading east and south across north Africa to Morocco, you do not have "lean meats". You have lamb. High in fat. This is not common, of course, in Italy, France, Spain, which is probably what is REALLY meant by Mediterranean diet. However, in both parts of the Mediterranean, north and south, you have huge amounts of refined flour ---- bread, pasta, pizza, couscous --- which is usually not endorsed by the gurus of the "Mediterranean diet." So they really just need to specify --- lean meats, fish, veg, fruits and olive oil.
Thank you so much for the kind words! My family and I do consume a wide variety of meats. Poultry, Ground Beef, Eggs, Steak, Fish, and Bison. Do what makes you feel best!
Dr. London, do you have any videos that discuss how CV19 (and mutations of it) affects our hearts? Appreciate your content!! im really happy I found you.
Dr. London, I am enjoying your informative videos very much. What's your take on caffeine in relation to the heart? Is too much caffeine on a daily basis detrimental to the heart over time? Thank you!
Great content, thank you. Do you have suggestions on lower sodium cooking? Whole foods are great, but any tips on seasoning for those on reduced sodium diet?
If you eat the right salt -- like a high mineral, natural salt that hasn't been highly processed (like mortons) you may not have to limit it. Redmunds, Celtic, etc.. are good choices. Check out the book "The Salt Fix"
What about seafoods such as Salmon Tuna and the many other full of Omega 3 components in them. And, when we make a comparison between seafoods or compare to grand fed animals, which one is relatively more beneficial?.
We don’t eat as much avocado oil here in Greece. I personally use olive pit oil for sautéing and for all the rest like salads and such I use extra virgin olive oil. For bread we mostly eat sourdough bread as well as other fermented products. We are blessed with a volcanic soil high in nutrients so yeah our produce is top of of the line especially tomatoes and local greens. We also eat plenty of Greek strained yogurt with Greek honey which is our dessert of choice . Last but not least at gatherings and BBQs we eat lamb and goat as for us this is the leanest meat we have and because it’s out in the wild it eats better than a chicken would. For omegas we have plenty of sardines and other local small fish. We also eat avocados. Not forgetting the local legumes that we have at least once a week. I guess the basis for most people buying produce here is to buy what’s in season. Oh and we don’t eat as much processed food as we tend to cook at home more.

Great information thanks we get our beef and chicken and yogurt from local farmer plus they have pet food ground chicken or beef blend and I’ll add sardine on the side but I don’t think dogs can handle much fat
We have been told the Med Diet is best for decades now. It is a diet that kept my Italian grandparents healthy well into their 80's and 90's. The problem is people want fast pre-packaged foods and don't want to take the time to cook anymore.
Great video, thank you Dr.!! I've been evangelizing the Mediterranean diet to my family forever, but it's hard to get the little one's off the fast food & unhealthy snacks. 🤨 Will keep trying bringing in healthier alternatives, like Aldi's Simply Nature snacks. 😊
Doc what do you think about Whole Foods salmon it’s not wild do you recommend customers buying it? I’ve been watching your video and I like what I’m seeing!! Thank you.👍😄
I'm a 60 year old female diagnosed with 49% blockage in only my left anterior descending artery. I'm struggling to keep weight on due to excluding many items in my diet since diagnosis this year. I've never been overweight, don't have diabetes or high blood pressure just a family history of heart disease and a high stress job. On a 40 mg statin and my LDL has dropped to 79, along with drops in TG levels and cholesterol. I've dropped from 130 to 106 in weight. What is your professional opinion regarding having steak or a buffalo burger occasionally to increase my protein intake and take a break from the chicken and salmon? Thank you for your time and the informational video.
Great video. Glad to see everyone so inspired. I was surprised to see red meat in your shopping. Many other doctors and qualified researchers say to avoid it. What are your thoughts...?
Love your content and I was wondering if you could consider doing a video about staying motivated and focused on life - I know it’s not related to your profession but I feel like you would have a good perspective about this. Thank you kindly.
Good morning Doctor My MD doctor says that on my x-rays he saw something cloudy that could have a clogged artery.. after this I saw the cardiologist my Echocardiogram and EKG come out good. Now, I’m waiting for calcium score results. My colesterol is high All my vitals are good. I eat healthy I run and work out. Doctor please could you see on Xray clogged arteries??? I appreciate your answer
My home diet is very similar except I LOVE rice. I try to make it brown rice , wild rice and forbidden rice and limit the days per week but I have to have some rice!
Love fresh veggies, fruit, etc but I have a hard time digesting them. I love cauliflower and broccoli, mango and grapefruit but they destroy my gut. I still eat it all but in very small quantities. Would love to know how to counteract the reaction so I can eat more of the healthy stuff.
I love following your journey. I hate to say this, but I think you are eating way too many carbs for your situation. You might want to monitor your blood glucose to ensure you're not having blood sugar spikes throughout the day. You may also want to consider a whole food keto diet or a low carb, higher healthy fats way of eating. You may have to give up the starchy carbs and tropical fruits. And I'd suggest having your A1C checked--if it's in the very low 5's, then maybe you are doing ok!
I’d love a video tackling the subject of eating foods (primarily thinking about red meat) that have higher saturated fat and cholesterol, and the impact on heart health. Plenty of reputable sources say this “war on saturated fat” theory starting from the 50’s and 60’s is highly flawed/misunderstood and has been harmful in pushing people away from whole foods towards processed carbohydrates
Had a heart attack June 2023….3 stents in 1 artery…male 72..6ft 2, 163 lbs…cholesterol 140, ldl 90, hdl 40, triglycerides 300…. I’m now on a carnivore diet
I’m having a serious problem, I was hospitalized a couple months ago, for chest pains, at the time my troponin level was 600’s obviously they admitted me. They ran a CT Angio, nuclear stress test, ekg, blood work, etc… the cardiologist said he was confident there was no serious blockage, yet I am still having chest pains after sex or when I exert myself. The cardiologist said my symptoms are atypical, most of the chest pain is top of the chest radiated to right arm and back. Currently I am taking losarten in the morning carvedilol twice a day and isosorbide once. I put myself on some supplements as well (k2,coq10, krill oil) my blood pressure is normal sometimes runs low 110/60 still having the issues though. I am still smoking and I am struggling to quit I’m so much medication I don’t think I can stand taking Chantix. I know I need to eat healthier don’t know what to do in my situation
Great haul . Pay now or pay later . Expensive to eat from whole pay check . The veggies aren’t always the freshest so maybe not very nutrient dense…. Grow your own if you can .
Thank you Doctor. 35M, 260lbs, 6'4" with AFIB and family history of heart disease. What were you eating prior to your cardiac event? Do you believe your diet contributed to the blockage? Do you believe in a genetic component that diet cannot circumvent? Appreciate the channel
@@drjeremylondon It is probably because of the A1 protein, which can lead to lactose intolerance for a large amount of people. As an alternative milk with the A2 protein is said to be much more tolerable to such people.
@@louisd95714 And pasturization destroys the important enzymes and denatures proteins that may allow many to digest milk after all. That could be why raw cheese doesn't bother him.
Wow, if I ate what you had bought from Whole Foods, I would have ended up in the bathroom for two days. Leafy green vegetables and fruit causes so much inflammation in my gut (ulcerative colitis). Everything you said Dr. London goes against everything my heart doctor is telling me to eat. Especially seed oils. Best of luck to you.
Dr London: the greatest seafood restaurant (ever/imo) is in Savanah. The Shell House!!. Thoughts??? (Discovered your channel. Appreciate you. Thank you!)
in the vid he mentions that whole foods means it has one ingredient, a carrot is a whole food, etc. Bringing politics into his vids is a good way to lose half the audience.
I really need the recipe for you dressing for your salad please also give me your recipes you are preparing do you have a cook book thank you for your work
What about Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. Dean Ornish the first drs who showed you can reverse or halt heart disease with a plant based diet very low fat.
Yep. All the items on the doctor’s kitchen counter come from a small portion of any grocery store. The rest of the isles, except for the frozen vegetables, are all highly processed, or contain high fructose corn syrup (it was cane sugar when I was growing up), with some of the food actually engineered to be addictive. Even the dairy isle has creamers they sell for coffee which all look pretty scary to me in terms of their ingredients. Want to see why our country has a diabetes and an obesity problem? Go to a dollar store or 5 Below and walk the isles to see what is sold there. That would give any cardiologist a heart attack. But that’s where the teens go; you don’t see them in the produce isle at the grocery store. And the stuff sold in those stores is in snack form, so the teens end up hitting it all day. The food industry has really become profit driven and messed up over my lifetime. The decay started slowly in the 70’s and has continued to rapidly deteriorate. We have also trained most age groups, with our busy lifestyles, that all food be available fast, hence the explosion in drive thrus. Even the busy professional making a good salary will hit the drive thru for breakfast on the way to work. Making a healthy meal really does take some time.

Love your content and I was wondering if you could consider doing a video about staying motivated and focused on life - I know it’s not related to your profession but I feel like you would have a good perspective about this. Thank you kindly.
Great suggestion! Happy to do a video on that
Love ❤️ your Chanel
Thank you!
My dogs get raw beef or small animals they catch in the woods. Same for the cats. Then the chicken (meat eaters) clean up the mess or any small pieces
What does a cardiologist eat when he travels such as travel snacks?
Nuts and fruit
Good morning Doctor
My MD doctor says that on my x-rays he saw something cloudy that could have a clogged artery.. after this I saw the cardiologist my Echocardiogram and EKG come out good. Now, I’m waiting for calcium score results. My colesterol is high
All my vitals are good. I eat healthy I run and work out.
Doctor please could you see on Xray clogged arteries???
I appreciate your answer
Great video! Just curious, what brand of scrubs are you wearing?
These are Figs. Love Figs
My home diet is very similar except I LOVE rice. I try to make it brown rice , wild rice and forbidden rice and limit the days per week but I have to have some rice!
in asia, pets ( other than gold fush ) eat what the family eat !! they live forever.
Love fresh veggies, fruit, etc but I have a hard time digesting them. I love cauliflower and broccoli, mango and grapefruit but they destroy my gut. I still eat it all but in very small quantities. Would love to know how to counteract the reaction so I can eat more of the healthy stuff.
Experiment and find what foods work for you
Does the counter over-head light tilt like in an operating room?
They may we’ve never tried it
If I eat over 10 carbs a day my blood sugar goes crazy and they say I’m not diabetic. What do you do with all those vegetables?
I love following your journey. I hate to say this, but I think you are eating way too many carbs for your situation. You might want to monitor your blood glucose to ensure you're not having blood sugar spikes throughout the day. You may also want to consider a whole food keto diet or a low carb, higher healthy fats way of eating. You may have to give up the starchy carbs and tropical fruits. And I'd suggest having your A1C checked--if it's in the very low 5's, then maybe you are doing ok!
I’d love a video tackling the subject of eating foods (primarily thinking about red meat) that have higher saturated fat and cholesterol, and the impact on heart health. Plenty of reputable sources say this “war on saturated fat” theory starting from the 50’s and 60’s is highly flawed/misunderstood and has been harmful in pushing people away from whole foods towards processed carbohydrates
Had a heart attack June 2023….3 stents in 1 artery…male 72..6ft 2, 163 lbs…cholesterol 140, ldl 90, hdl 40, triglycerides 300…. I’m now on a carnivore diet
My brother… that’s the exact opposite of what you should be eating lol
@ I was vegan… if you noticed the triglycerides were 300…since going carnivore they are 40…you dear fellow are behind the 8 ball.
I’m having a serious problem, I was hospitalized a couple months ago, for chest pains, at the time my troponin level was 600’s obviously they admitted me. They ran a CT Angio, nuclear stress test, ekg, blood work, etc… the cardiologist said he was confident there was no serious blockage, yet I am still having chest pains after sex or when I exert myself. The cardiologist said my symptoms are atypical, most of the chest pain is top of the chest radiated to right arm and back. Currently I am taking losarten in the morning carvedilol twice a day and isosorbide once. I put myself on some supplements as well (k2,coq10, krill oil) my blood pressure is normal sometimes runs low 110/60 still having the issues though. I am still smoking and I am struggling to quit I’m so much medication I don’t think I can stand taking Chantix. I know I need to eat healthier don’t know what to do in my situation
Great haul . Pay now or pay later . Expensive to eat from whole pay check . The veggies aren’t always the freshest so maybe not very nutrient dense…. Grow your own if you can .
I agree!
I bought your electrolyte packets. They were so salty I couldn't drink them. My cardiologist told me to stay away from salt.
Thank you Doctor. 35M, 260lbs, 6'4" with AFIB and family history of heart disease. What were you eating prior to your cardiac event? Do you believe your diet contributed to the blockage? Do you believe in a genetic component that diet cannot circumvent? Appreciate the channel
Dr is talking but I’m watching his adorable dogs
Understandable
Is there a reason you choose the non-dairy yogurt?
Maybe he is lactose intolerant because of the A1 protein.
My stomach can handle kefir and raw milk cheese but processed milk tends to give me problems
@@drjeremylondon It is probably because of the A1 protein, which can lead to lactose intolerance for a large amount of people. As an alternative milk with the A2 protein is said to be much more tolerable to such people.
@@louisd95714 And pasturization destroys the important enzymes and denatures proteins that may allow many to digest milk after all. That could be why raw cheese doesn't bother him.
Wow, if I ate what you had bought from Whole Foods, I would have ended up in the bathroom for two days. Leafy green vegetables and fruit causes so much inflammation in my gut (ulcerative colitis). Everything you said Dr. London goes against everything my heart doctor is telling me to eat. Especially seed oils. Best of luck to you.
Listen to your qualified healthcare professional and your body. Everyone has their own instruction manual
Do you think that vegan protein is go to source of protein? Why is better than whey?
Doc what about smoking weed we need that to deal with stress is that smoking bad also
Cute dog!
Thank you!
Dr London: the greatest seafood restaurant (ever/imo) is in Savanah. The Shell House!!. Thoughts??? (Discovered your channel. Appreciate you. Thank you!)
WHOLE FOODS is fantastic if you can afford it. With Grocery Prices now? Good luck. Who you voting for in 24?
in the vid he mentions that whole foods means it has one ingredient, a carrot is a whole food, etc. Bringing politics into his vids is a good way to lose half the audience.
@@hisaddle i was talking about grocery prices
You have an Aussie!
Sure do. Ollie is the best
I really need the recipe for you dressing for your salad please also give me your recipes you are preparing do you have a cook book thank you for your work
What about Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. Dean Ornish the first drs who showed you can reverse or halt heart disease with a plant based diet very low fat.
Live ur dig..I think he's into you doc.
Nice kitchen !
Thank you! We spend most of our time there
@@drjeremylondon awesome. Families that eat together, stay together.
No for lean protein. You want the fat in beef.
We do both
Thank you for letting me know about healthy food I love healthy food and healthy ahealthy drink 🍷🍷🍻 with meals 🍷🌺💛🌹❣️🍰💜🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I like the dogs
Yep. All the items on the doctor’s kitchen counter come from a small portion of any grocery store. The rest of the isles, except for the frozen vegetables, are all highly processed, or contain high fructose corn syrup (it was cane sugar when I was growing up), with some of the food actually engineered to be addictive. Even the dairy isle has creamers they sell for coffee which all look pretty scary to me in terms of their ingredients.
Want to see why our country has a diabetes and an obesity problem? Go to a dollar store or 5 Below and walk the isles to see what is sold there. That would give any cardiologist a heart attack. But that’s where the teens go; you don’t see them in the produce isle at the grocery store. And the stuff sold in those stores is in snack form, so the teens end up hitting it all day. The food industry has really become profit driven and messed up over my lifetime. The decay started slowly in the 70’s and has continued to rapidly deteriorate. We have also trained most age groups, with our busy lifestyles, that all food be available fast, hence the explosion in drive thrus. Even the busy professional making a good salary will hit the drive thru for breakfast on the way to work. Making a healthy meal really does take some time.
Tysm, Doctor for all these tips. I'm always curious as to what to Doctors really eat ? Ha! Ha!
I love you 💕
