HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE EPISODE:

Heartbeat Health is a large medical group with cardiologists and other practitioners providing telehealth and remote diagnostics across the US.
Jeff is skeptical about technology's role in behavior change for cardiovascular health, noting that despite more tech, outcomes in cardiovascular disease have worsened.
Jeff explains that heart attacks are largely predictable, contrary to popular belief that they are random events.
Modern diagnostic technology can identify risk factors and provide feedback loops that show whether interventions like diet and exercise are working.
The longevity trend represents a shift from the traditional model where doctors simply tell patients to improve their lifestyle to one where patients can test interventions and see measurable results.
Jeff identifies different types of prevention: primordial (preventing risk factors), primary (preventing heart attacks in those with risk factors), secondary (preventing subsequent heart attacks), and tertiary (reducing complications).
Current longevity programs reach thousands when they need to reach millions to make a meaningful impact on cardiovascular outcomes.
