What if the number one killer in America didn't have to kill anyone?

Dr. Jeffrey Boone has spent 50 years trying to answer that question. He's a medical doctor, founder of Boone Heart Institute in Denver, and author of A World Without Heart Attacks — and he believes we can eliminate heart disease if we find it early and treat it before it ever becomes a crisis.

We talk about why your cholesterol isn't actually the disease, how genetics can predict your risk decades before symptoms appear, and why the healthcare system's financial incentives are working against your health. We also go deeper than medicine — into what it looks like to build a business guided by prayer, care for patients as a form of ministry, and how his faith guides everything he does. 

It's a conversation about living longer, living better, and trusting God with the rest.
