We often think about the heart, lungs, brain and other organs individually, but they're all connected by a network of blood vessels that keeps your body functioning every day. In this episode, Dr. Eve Glazier welcomes UCLA Health vascular surgeon Juan C. "JC" Jimenez, MD, to explain what vascular surgeons do, why healthy blood vessels are essential to nearly every organ in the body, and how vascular disease can quietly develop long before symptoms appear. Whether you're looking to reduce your risk of vascular disease or simply better understand how your circulatory system works, this conversation offers valuable insights into keeping your blood vessels healthy throughout every stage of life.
