About Dr. Warrick Bishop
A number of years ago something incredible, an amazing coincidence…
Doctor Warrick Bishop is a practicing cardiologist, best selling author, and keynote speaker and who has a passion to help prevent heart disease on a global scale.
Warrick graduated from the University of Tasmania, School of Medicine, in 1988. He completed his advanced training in cardiology in Hobart, Tasmania, becoming a fellow of the Royal Australian College of Physicians.
A number of years ago something incredible, an amazing coincidence, happened that started Doctor Warrick Bishop on the mission to prevent heart attacks rather than try to cure them. He was driving to work one day when he stopped at a commotion by the side of the road. A fun runner had collapsed during a fun run with a heart attack. He helped in his resuscitation only to find out that had seen the very same man two years earlier and reassured him that he was fine.
Warrick had missed the chance to make a difference and it nearly cost a life!! . Based on risk calculation and the best practice of the time, he shouldn’t have been at high risk…..but he was!
That meant that he had reassured a patient based on treadmill testing, the best care available at the time that he was fine, only to be part of the team that resuscitated that man when he dropped dead during a running race, this was just not good enough, and he asked himself could this be done differently?
This important question started him on a journey which meant he was open to looking more closely at new and emerging technology to help in being more precise about risk of heart attack.
It became clear to Warrick the more precise we can be in the information we have in regard to a patients heart health and real risk of heart attack, the better we can look after that person, it seems so obvious when you say it like that, but that opportunity is still only new and not broadly utilised in the medical community.
Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, emphasizes the importance of understanding heart health in Australia, where heart disease is a significant issue. In this podcast, he discusses a recent article on the appendix, questioning its perceived uselessness and exploring emerging research suggesting it may have important roles in gut health and the immune system. He highlights that antibiotics could serve as an alternative to appendicectomy for uncomplicated appendicitis, potentially preserving the appendix's functions. The appendix may act as a reservoir for beneficial gut bacteria, helping to restore the microbiome after infections.
Additionally, it might be involved in immune system training, with studies linking its removal to increased risks of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers. Dr. Bishop reflects on historical views of the appendix and encourages listeners to reconsider its significance. He invites listeners to join the Healthy Heart Network for resources on heart health.
The podcast aims to raise awareness about heart disease and the potential implications of appendicectomy. Overall, Dr. Bishop advocates for a deeper understanding of both heart and gut health for better long-term well-being.
Takeaways:
- Appendix Functionality Debate: The podcast discusses the evolving perception of the appendix, traditionally viewed as useless, now being reevaluated for its potential importance.
- Antibiotics vs. Appendicectomy: Emerging research suggests that antibiotics may be a viable alternative to surgical removal for uncomplicated appendicitis, prompting a reconsideration of appendicectomy practices.
- Health Risks Post-Appendicectomy: Removal of the appendix may be linked to increased risks of conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal cancer, and other health issues.
- Comparative Anatomy Insights: The appendix exists in some mammals and primates but is absent in others, suggesting varying evolutionary roles across species.
- Microbiome Reservoir: The appendix may serve as a safe house for beneficial gut bacteria, potentially aiding in gut health recovery after infections.
- Immune System Role: The appendix may have functions related to immune system training and detection of pathogens, containing specialized cells that activate immune responses.
- Connection to Diseases: Studies suggest potential links between appendicectomy and diseases such as type 2 diabetes, lupus, and Parkinson's disease.
- Research Gaps: There is ongoing debate and conflicting studies regarding the appendix's role in various diseases, indicating a need for further research.
- Healthy Heart Network: The podcast promotes joining the Healthy Heart Network for resources on heart health and risk assessment, emphasizing community support for better health outcomes.

Are You at Risk of a Sudden Heart Attack? How Healthy is Your Heart? Really?
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the Western World. In Australia, someone dies every 28 minutes from heart disease. That’s 51 people a day. In the US, someone has a heart attack every 40 SECONDS! Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.
- 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
- 59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
- Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
This podcast discusses common beliefs and skepticism around cholesterol and statin medications. The host, Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, addresses misconceptions such as cholesterol not being harmful, heart disease not being caused by high cholesterol, and saturated fats not being harmful. He explains that while cholesterol levels alone don't directly predict plaque buildup, lowering cholesterol is crucial for those at high risk of heart disease. Dr. Bishop also responds to claims that the cholesterol hypothesis is incorrect, that statin side effects are underreported, and that statins deplete vital nutrients. He emphasizes that while lifestyle changes are important, medication is often necessary for those at high risk. Overall, the podcast provides a balanced perspective on the complex relationship between cholesterol, heart disease, and statin medications.
Takeaways:
- Cholesterol is not inherently harmful, as it is an essential part of the body's functions, but it can end up in the wrong places like the arteries and cause problems.
- The relationship between cholesterol levels and heart disease risk is complex - high cholesterol doesn't always directly correlate with plaque buildup, but for those at high risk, lowering cholesterol is crucial.
- The role of saturated fats is still debated, but if someone has significant plaque buildup, lowering cholesterol through diet and medication is recommended.
- The "cholesterol hypothesis" linking cholesterol to atherosclerosis is supported by evidence, especially for high-risk individuals where lowering cholesterol reduces risk.
- Cholesterol can potentially reach the arteries from the outside via the vasa vasorum, not just from the bloodstream, but this doesn't negate the benefits of lowering cholesterol.
- LDL particle size is not the sole driver of atherosclerosis, as the process is more complex involving inflammation and other metabolic factors.
- Statins are highly beneficial for those with significant heart disease, reducing risk of recurrent events, but may be less warranted for low-risk individuals.
- Statin side effects tend to be over-reported rather than underreported, and most people can tolerate them well.
- Concerns about statins depleting nutrients like CoQ10 or impairing cognitive function are not strongly supported by the evidence.
- Lifestyle changes alone can improve cholesterol and heart health, but are very difficult for most people to implement and sustain to the degree needed to reverse advanced disease.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses highlights from a medical conference he attended. He focuses on two key topics - the impact of climate change on cardiovascular health, and the treatment of patent foramen ovale (PFO), a common heart condition.
Climate change is linked to increased inflammation, coagulation, heat stress, electrolyte imbalances, and air pollution - all of which can negatively impact heart health. Studies have shown that reducing secondhand smoke exposure can significantly lower heart attack risk in affected communities.
PFO is a hole in the heart that typically closes at birth, but remains open in about 25% of people. This can allow blood clots to pass from the venous to arterial circulation, potentially causing strokes. Minimally invasive procedures can be used to close the PFO and prevent this complication.
Doctor Bishop shares his own experience of having a PFO-related stroke, which resolved without lasting symptoms. He plans to have his PFO closed as a preventive measure.
Takeaways:
- Climate change and environmental factors are having a significant impact on cardiovascular health, including increasing inflammation, coagulation, and electrolyte imbalances.
- Thermoregulation issues due to increased heat can be detrimental for those with cardiac conditions like heart failure.
- Air pollution, including particulate matter and secondhand smoke, is linked to increased risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events.
- Noise pollution is associated with higher blood pressure and increased cardiovascular disease risk.
- A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common condition where a hole in the heart does not close properly after birth, which can allow blood clots to pass from the venous to arterial circulation and cause strokes.
- Doctor Bishop had a personal experience with a PFO-related stroke and is planning to get it surgically closed.
- Procedures to close a PFO involve minimally invasive catheter-based techniques rather than open heart surgery.
- Closing a PFO carries a risk of developing atrial fibrillation, which needs to be considered.
- Doctor Bishop emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing cardiovascular risk factors, including those related to environmental and climate changes.
- Doctor Bishop promotes his podcast and website as resources for helping people live healthier and longer lives by addressing heart disease.
Overall, the podcast highlights important connections between environmental factors, cardiovascular disease, and emerging treatment approaches that can help people live healthier, longer lives.

This podcast episode discusses the importance of managing elevated triglyceride levels for heart health. The host, Dr. Warrick Bishop, explains that triglycerides are not directly involved in atherosclerosis, but are a marker of metabolic processes like insulin resistance that contribute to cardiovascular disease risk. He covers lifestyle approaches like diet, exercise, and reducing alcohol to lower triglycerides. The episode also examines the research on fish oil supplements and the medication fenofibrate as triglyceride-lowering treatments. Overall, the podcast emphasizes that while triglycerides are not the direct cause of heart disease, managing them through lifestyle and targeted interventions can be beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Takeaways:
- Triglycerides are not directly involved in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, but are a marker of metabolic processes that contribute to cardiovascular disease, such as insulin resistance, central weight gain, inflammation, and high blood pressure.
- Lifestyle changes like reducing dietary fat and sugar, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol consumption are the first-line approach to managing high triglycerides.
- Fish oil supplements, particularly those rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, have shown potential benefits in reducing cardiovascular events, especially in those who have already had a heart attack.
- The evidence for fish oil's cardiovascular benefits in primary prevention (for those without prior events) is more mixed, with some studies showing limited or no significant impact.
- The omega-3 index, which measures EPA and DHA levels in red blood cells, appears to be a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk, with higher levels associated with lower risk.
- The fibrate medication fenofibrate has been shown to improve some microvascular complications of diabetes, such as kidney and eye health, but did not significantly reduce the primary endpoint of coronary events.
- The quality and purity of over-the-counter fish oil supplements can vary widely, and they may interact with blood-thinning medications or have other potential side effects.
- Saturated fats from different sources (e.g., processed foods vs. dairy vs. fish/vegetables/nuts) can have varying effects on cardiovascular risk.
- The optimal combination and dosage of EPA and DHA for cardiovascular benefits is still being investigated, with some evidence suggesting EPA may be more important for heart health.
- A comprehensive approach that includes lifestyle modifications, targeted supplementation (if appropriate), and medication (if necessary) is likely the most effective way to manage high triglycerides and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Triglycerides are a type of fat that travel in the bloodstream and are associated with increased risk of heart disease. High triglyceride levels are linked to low HDL (good) cholesterol, high LDL (bad) cholesterol, and excess abdominal fat. Factors that can raise triglycerides include diet high in carbohydrates and alcohol consumption. Exercise is an effective way to lower triglyceride levels by using them as an energy source. Triglycerides themselves do not directly contribute to plaque buildup, but are a marker of overall metabolic health and cardiovascular disease risk.
Takeaways:
- Triglycerides are a type of fat that travels in the bloodstream and are linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
- High triglyceride levels are associated with low HDL ("good") cholesterol and small, dense LDL ("bad") cholesterol particles, which can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries.
- Factors that can increase triglyceride levels include a diet high in carbohydrates, excessive alcohol consumption, and insulin resistance/obesity.
- Exercise is an effective way to lower triglyceride levels by using them as an energy source.
- Triglycerides themselves are not a direct cause of atherosclerosis, but are more of a marker of overall metabolic health.
- The combination of high triglycerides, low HDL, small LDL particles, central obesity, high blood pressure, and inflammation is linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk.
- Insulin resistance, which is common in those who are overweight or obese, is closely tied to elevated triglyceride levels.
- Guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of physical activity to help manage triglyceride levels.
- Lowering triglycerides is important, as heart disease is a major cause of death, with someone suffering a heart attack every 20 minutes in Australia.
- The podcast host, Dr. Warrick Bishop, is a cardiologist dedicated to helping people improve their heart health through education and lifestyle changes.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Dr. Warrick Bishop is a preventative cardiologist who aims to help people avoid heart problems before they occur. He believes that proactive measures like lifestyle changes, monitoring cholesterol and blood pressure, and imaging the coronary arteries can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and other heart issues, even as people age. Dr. Bishop emphasizes that associations like diet and exercise are not the same as direct causes of heart disease, and that imaging tests like a coronary calcium scan are crucial for identifying underlying plaque buildup. He has written several books and created an online Healthy Heart Network to educate people on preventative heart health strategies. Overall, Dr. Bishop advocates for a proactive, personalized approach to heart care focused on prevention rather than just treatment.
Takeaways:
- Dr. Warrick Bishop is a "preventative cardiologist" who focuses on preventing heart problems before they occur, rather than just treating them after the fact.
- As people age, the heart muscle can gradually wear out, leading to conditions like atrial fibrillation. However, lifestyle factors like high blood pressure, obesity, and excessive alcohol can accelerate this process.
- An ECG provides information about the electrical activity of the heart, but imaging tests like echocardiograms and coronary artery calcium scans are crucial for evaluating the actual structure and health of the heart and arteries.
- Dr. Bishop recommends a Mediterranean-style diet focused on vegetables, healthy proteins, and healthy fats as the ideal diet for heart health. Reducing carbohydrates is key for managing weight.
- Exercise alone is not enough to manage weight - diet is the primary factor. Cutting carbs is the first step for weight loss.
- There is an important distinction between associations (like diet and exercise) and direct causation when it comes to heart disease risk factors. Associations increase risk but don't guarantee an event.
- For older adults, the key is a willingness to make lifestyle changes, education on healthy habits, accountability, and ongoing coaching and support.
- Depression and social isolation are major risk factors that must be addressed alongside physical heart health.
- There can be philosophical differences between preventative cardiologists like Dr. Bishop and interventional cardiologists who focus more on procedures and treatments.
- Dr. Bishop has created the Healthy Heart Network to educate the public on preventative heart health through books, podcasts, videos, and other resources.

The speaker explains that not all omega-3 supplements are the same - some are highly purified pharmaceutical-grade products, while over-the-counter versions often contain less EPA and DHA than advertised and can be oxidized. Clinical trials have shown mixed results on the cardiovascular benefits of omega-3 supplements, but studies specifically on high-dose EPA have demonstrated a reduction in major adverse cardiac events. The speaker recommends eating fresh fatty fish as the best way to get beneficial omega-3s, as the oils remain in the body for several days. Overall, the podcast provides insights into the complexities around omega-3 supplementation and heart health.
Takeaways:
- Not all omega-3 fish oil supplements are the same - there are differences in the formulations, purity, and regulation between over-the-counter and prescription versions.
- Many over-the-counter fish oil supplements do not actually contain the amounts of EPA and DHA they claim, and may have high levels of oxidation.
- The research on omega-3 supplements for cardiovascular benefits has been mixed, with some trials showing no clear benefit, while others indicate that pure EPA supplements (without DHA) can reduce major adverse cardiovascular events.
- Trials like REDUCE-IT have shown that high-dose prescription EPA (icosapent ethyl) can provide a 15-20% relative risk reduction in recurrent cardiovascular events.
- The mechanism of benefit for EPA appears to be related to maintaining normal cholesterol distribution, reducing inflammation, and stabilizing vulnerable plaque.
- Eating fresh, fatty fish is a better way to get beneficial omega-3s compared to over-the-counter supplements.
- Prescription EPA is now available but is regulated as a drug, unlike the unregulated over-the-counter supplements.
- Triglyceride levels may just be a marker of metabolic processes, and lowering them alone may not be the key driver of cardiovascular benefits.
- The research suggests EPA alone, rather than the combination of EPA and DHA, is the key component responsible for the cardiovascular benefits seen in some trials.
- More research is still needed to fully understand the nuances and differences between various omega-3 formulations and their impacts on cardiovascular health.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all of this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health.

Are You at Risk of a Sudden Heart Attack? How Healthy is Your Heart? Really?
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the Western World. In Australia, someone dies every 28 minutes from heart disease. That’s 51 people a day. In the US, someone has a heart attack every 40 SECONDS! Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.
- 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
- 59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
- Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Doctor Bishop discusses the importance of understanding blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol for better heart health. He explains that Apo B is a lipoprotein that provides a measure of the number of cholesterol particles in the bloodstream, which can indicate heart disease risk. While Apo B is a useful metric, Dr. Bishop notes that the standard lipid panel can often provide sufficient information to assess and manage heart health. He encourages listeners to subscribe to the podcast and join his Healthy Heart Network community.
Takeaways:
- Apo B is a lipoprotein that is a key component of cholesterol and fat transport particles in the bloodstream.
- Measuring Apo B provides information about the number of cholesterol/fat carrying particles, rather than just the concentration like LDL cholesterol.
- Higher Apo B levels are associated with increased risk of plaque formation and heart disease.
- LDL particles can vary in size, with smaller dense particles potentially having as much cholesterol as fewer larger particles. Apo B can help distinguish this.
- Triglyceride levels provide a good proxy for assessing the presence of smaller, denser LDL particles without needing to directly measure Apo B.
- Lowering triglycerides and LDL cholesterol through lifestyle and medications will also lower Apo B levels.
- Apo B is not routinely used in clinical practice in Australia currently due to lack of Medicare coverage.
- Doctor Bishop highlights the importance of understanding particle number versus concentration when assessing heart disease risk.
- Doctor Bishop thanks Dr. Peter Attia for raising awareness of Apo B in the general population.
- Doctor Bishop encourages listeners to join the Healthy Heart Network to better understand their heart health and risk.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
This podcast episode features a discussion between Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, and James Buckley, a hypnotherapist, about the placebo and nocebo effects. They explain that the placebo effect is the brain's ability to create a positive physical response without any actual medication, while the nocebo effect is the negative response from a sham treatment. They discuss research showing the powerful impact of these mind-body effects, even on conditions like high cholesterol and statin side effects. The conversation highlights how the brain's beliefs and expectations can profoundly influence physical outcomes, and emphasizes the importance of empowering patients through techniques like meditation and hypnosis to harness this mind-body connection for better health. The podcast encourages listeners to explore the untapped potential of the mind to find "solace, peace, harmony, and resolution" in addressing health challenges.
Takeaways:
- The placebo effect is the brain's ability to create a chemical reaction and physical experience without the presence of an actual drug or substance.
- The nocebo effect is the negative counterpart, where the brain can produce adverse symptoms and side effects from a sham or inert substance.
- The placebo and nocebo effects can be remarkably powerful, with studies showing they can account for up to 50-60% of the expected response from an actual medication.
- The brain's incredible power to influence physical and emotional states through belief, expectation, and thought processes is a largely untapped human potential.
- Unresolved emotional and psychological issues can manifest as physical symptoms or intolerances, which may be better addressed through techniques like meditation, hypnosis, and mindfulness rather than just medication.
- The case study of the patient who overcame a long-standing phobia about crossing a bridge illustrates how the mind-body connection can be harnessed to overcome perceived limitations.
- Doctors and patients may need to explore the role of the placebo/nocebo effect more deeply, rather than automatically attributing side effects solely to the medication.
- The speaker's own experience with feeling relaxed after having a glass of wine suggests the power of anticipation and belief in shaping physiological responses.
- There are free resources available through the Mindmastery Institute and the speaker's social media channels to explore meditation, hypnosis, and harnessing the mind-body connection.
- Overall, the discussion highlights the immense untapped potential of the human mind and the need to approach health and wellness from a more holistic, mind-body perspective.

This episode discusses two main topics related to health and nutrition. The first is the potential link between high fructose corn syrup in sugary beverages and obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease. The speaker notes that more research is needed, but the connection seems plausible given how high fructose corn syrup is an inexpensive sweetener used in many drinks.
The second topic is the tendency for red wine drinkers to experience more severe hangovers compared to other alcohols. Dr. Bishop explains this may be due to a compound in red wine that inhibits the enzyme that breaks down acetaldehyde, the substance responsible for hangover symptoms.
Dr. Bishop encourages listeners to be aware of these potential health impacts and to share the podcast with others, as it may help save lives. He also promotes his website where people can assess their risk of heart attack.
Takeaways:
- High fructose corn syrup used in sugary, sweetened beverages has been linked to increased obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- There is a potential genetic survival mechanism where fructose from high fructose corn syrup may impact adenosine triphosphate, leading to energy imbalance and changes in energy regulation.
- Similar to the case of trans fats, more research is needed to determine if high fructose corn syrup should be banned or severely limited in sugary drinks.
- Hangovers from red wine may be more common than other alcohols due to a compound in red wine that inhibits the enzyme that converts acetaldehyde to acetate.
- Acetaldehyde is the metabolic component that drives the unpleasant symptoms of a hangover, while acetate is relatively benign.
- People of Asian ancestry are more genetically predisposed to having a mutated acetaldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, leading to alcohol intolerance.
- The drug disulfiram (Antabuse) works by blocking acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, causing acetaldehyde buildup and making people feel terrible to deter alcohol consumption.
- The amount of red wine consumed can impact the severity of a hangover, as higher levels of the inhibiting compound may accumulate.
- There is potential for future compounds that could block the interaction between red wine components and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.
- The podcast host encourages listeners to check their risk of heart attack at the website www.virtualheartcheck.com.au.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses various health hacks to maintain cardiovascular health, including time-restricted eating and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). A study called the PLOS ONE study found that the combination of time-restricted eating and HIIT led to the greatest weight loss, improved body composition, and reduced LDL cholesterol and blood pressure compared to either intervention alone. Dr. Bishop also discusses the importance of understanding the association versus causation when it comes to elevated lipoprotein(a) levels, and how imaging can provide valuable insights before further testing. He encourages listeners to adopt healthy habits and share the podcast, as it may help save lives.
Takeaways:
- Time-restricted eating (e.g. 8-16 or 6-18 hour eating windows) can provide benefits for weight loss and cardiovascular health.
- High-intensity interval training (HIIT) also offers cardiovascular benefits and helps maintain/increase fat-free mass during weight loss.
- Combining time-restricted eating and HIIT appears to provide the greatest benefits, leading to more weight loss, improved BMI, waist circumference, and LDL cholesterol reduction.
- HIIT helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss, whereas time-restricted eating alone can lead to loss of fat-free mass.
- Fasting and exercise both reduced calorie intake across the study groups, even though exercise is often associated with increased hunger.
- The combination of time-restricted eating and HIIT led to significant improvements in glucose levels and insulin resistance.
- Elevated lipoprotein(a) levels are associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, but individual variation in lipoprotein structure and function can impact its effects.
- Imaging tests like coronary calcium scoring can provide valuable insights about an individual's actual cardiovascular risk, beyond just biomarker levels.
- The podcast host, Dr. Orec Bishop, personally practices time-restricted eating and finds it helps manage his arthritis symptoms.
- Dr. Bishop encourages listeners to share the podcast and leave positive reviews, as it may help save lives by spreading this health information.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
This podcast episode features a discussion between Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, and James Buckley, an expert on the mind-body connection. They explore the stages of the grieving process, including denial, anger, depression, and acceptance. James explains how each stage impacts the body's physiology and nervous system. He recommends techniques like breathwork, walking in nature, cold exposure, and stretching to help move through the grieving process. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the physical and psychological aspects of grief to support oneself and others experiencing loss.
Takeaways:
- Denial is a common initial response to grief, as it allows the mind to avoid confronting the reality of a loss. This denial can have physiological effects on the body.
- Anger is a protective mechanism that the body uses to defend against unwanted emotions. Extreme anger can even trigger physical responses like "broken heart syndrome."
- Depression represents the opposite of the sympathetic nervous system's anger response, as the body and mind try to process and balance the emotional turmoil.
- Breath work, such as controlled breathing techniques, can help regulate the nervous system and guide it through the grieving process.
- Physical movement, like walking in nature, can help process and release the emotions and chemicals associated with grief.
- Cold exposure, such as cold showers, can have a soothing effect on the body and mind during grief.
- Stretching and body posture can also impact the physiological experience of grief and depression.
- The mind and body are deeply interconnected, so attending to both physical and psychological needs is important when coping with loss.
- Grief is a highly personal experience, with the intensity and duration of each stage varying based on the individual and their relationship to the deceased.
- Seeking support, whether through professional guidance or community resources, can be invaluable when navigating the grieving process.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
This podcast episode features a discussion between Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, and James Buckley, a personal guide and spiritual teacher, about the topic of death and dying. They share personal experiences with the loss of loved ones, including Dr. Bishop's mother and friend, as well as James' great aunt. The conversation explores the different stages of grief, including denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. They emphasize the importance of being prepared to deal with death and the grieving process, and how acceptance is a skill that can be developed. The podcast aims to provide listeners with insights and perspectives on this difficult but inevitable part of life.
Takeaways:
- The podcast discusses the complex and emotional topic of death and dying, drawing from Warrick's personal experiences with the passing of his mother, his friend's mother, and a close friend.
- Warrick highlights how the circumstances surrounding a person's death - their age, the duration and nature of their illness, and the level of preparedness - can significantly impact the grieving process for those left behind.
- The guest, James, shares his own recent experience of losing his great aunt, describing the physical and emotional toll of being present during her passing.
- The podcast explores the five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - and how individuals may experience and move through these stages differently depending on the specific loss.
- The concept of "bargaining" is discussed, where people try to rationalize or make sense of a loss as a way to accept it.
- Warrick notes that acceptance of a loss seems more achievable when the person's age and circumstances align with societal expectations, versus when a death is sudden or premature.
- The physical and somatic impacts of grief, such as increased sleeping and lack of motivation, are highlighted as an area to be explored further in a future episode.
- Developing the skill of acceptance is emphasized as an important way to not only process one's own grief, but also support others experiencing loss.
- The podcast encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences with loss and the varying degrees of acceptance they have been able to achieve.
- The overall message is that death and dying, while difficult, are inevitable parts of the human experience that should be discussed openly to better prepare people to cope with them.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
The podcast discusses two case studies of patients with high cholesterol and heart disease risk. The first patient, Sue, had high cholesterol and blood pressure that were successfully managed through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes. The second patient, Phil, had a strong family history of heart disease and had adopted a ketogenic diet that raised his cholesterol levels. After trying multiple cardiologists, Phil was advised to get a CT scan to evaluate the type of plaque buildup in his arteries before deciding on the best treatment approach. The podcast emphasizes the importance of personalized care, as different patients may respond differently to cholesterol-lowering medications. It also highlights the value of advanced testing like CT scans to get a more complete picture of cardiovascular health.
Takeaways:
- Cholesterol management requires a personalized approach, as different individuals may respond differently to the same treatments.
- Monitoring blood pressure is crucial for long-term heart health, as it impacts risks of heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and other conditions.
- Combining lower doses of two blood pressure medications can be more effective and have fewer side effects than using a single high-dose medication.
- Statin medications can have varying effects on different patients, and trying alternative statins or intermittent dosing may be necessary to find the right fit.
- Ezetimibe can have a synergistic effect when used with statins to lower LDL cholesterol.
- Calcium scoring and CT coronary angiography can provide valuable insights into a patient's plaque buildup and cardiovascular risk.
- Patients following a ketogenic diet may experience elevated cholesterol levels, which requires careful monitoring and management.
- Checking for carotid artery plaque is important to ensure stroke risk is not being overlooked.
- Women are affected by heart disease as much as men, and it is a leading cause of death among women.
- Proactive health management and a willingness to try different approaches are key to achieving the best outcomes for patients.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
The podcast discusses the importance of exercise for heart health with cardiologist Dr. Jason Kaplan. Dr. Kaplan recommends at least 150-300 minutes per week of moderate exercise like walking or 75-115 minutes of vigorous interval training. He stresses finding enjoyable activities and gives advice for starting an exercise program. Weight training is also beneficial but aerobic exercise is most important for reducing blood pressure and improving heart function. Regular exercise leads to positive changes in muscles, metabolism, blood vessels, and an enlarged but stronger and more efficient heart.
Takeaways:
- Exercise is one of the most important things people can do for cardiovascular health and prevention of heart disease.
- The biological effects of exercise are wide-ranging and impact the cardiovascular system, metabolism, vascular function, and heart health.
- An "exercise prescription" should include the type, intensity, duration and frequency of exercise for optimal health benefits.
- Moderate intensity exercise like walking for 150-300 minutes per week provides good cardiovascular benefits.
- Vigorous interval training for 75-115 minutes per week can achieve similar benefits as moderate exercise.
- Strength training is also beneficial but should be combined with aerobic exercise.
- It's important to find types of exercise someone enjoys to ensure adherence and motivation.
- Exercise has significant mental health benefits comparable to antidepressant medications.
- Fitness levels can be improved over time through consistent exercise via changes in muscle fibers, metabolism, vascular function and cardiac remodeling.
- Monitoring heart rate during exercise provides guidance on intensity levels for cardiovascular training.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all of this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health. Join me on my personal mission journey to prevent Heart Attack on a global scale. If you like this podcast, I would be honoured by a 5-star review and appreciate if you let your friends and family know about this podcast; you may even save the life of someone you love!
Are You at Risk of a Sudden Heart Attack? How Healthy is Your Heart? Really?
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the Western World. In Australia, someone dies every 28 minutes from heart disease. That’s 51 people a day. In the US, someone has a heart attack every 40 SECONDS! Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.
- 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
- 59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
- Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.

Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses bone health and osteoporosis risks in this podcast. He outlines who should be considered for bone mineral density scans according to Australian guidelines, including those over age 70 and younger individuals with risk factors like family history, smoking, alcohol use, or low body weight. Certain medical conditions and medications can also increase osteoporosis risk, such as corticosteroids, thyroid issues, antidepressants, and proton pump inhibitors. Dr. Bishop provides this information to help educate listeners and patients of his Osteo Strong business, while noting he is a cardiologist first and wants people to discuss their bone health with their doctor. He hopes listeners live as well as possible for as long as possible.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with someone suffering a heart attack every 30 minutes on average. Many of these could be prevented through lifestyle changes.
- The podcast aims to educate listeners about blood pressure, weight, cholesterol and how to improve health in these areas.
- Bone health is an important topic. The speaker owns a business called Osteo Strong that focuses on improving bone strength.
- Guidelines recommend bone mineral density scans for those over 70, and men over 60 or women over 50 if additional risk factors are present like family history or smoking.
- Women are at higher risk of bone issues earlier than men due to hormonal changes during menopause.
- Certain medications like corticosteroids, thyroid medication, antidepressants and proton pump inhibitors can negatively impact bone health.
- Conditions like kidney disease, liver disease, inflammatory conditions and cancers being treated with hormones can also influence bone mineral density.
- Multiple myeloma is a bone marrow cancer associated with thin bones.
- More discussion of appropriate blood tests for those with osteoporosis or osteopenia is warranted.
- While not an expert in bone health, Dr. Bishop aims to provide information to facilitate discussions between listeners and their doctors.

Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses lowering LDL cholesterol levels and whether it is safe to lower them very low. He explains that babies are born with very low cholesterol, and people with genetic mutations also have low cholesterol without negative effects. Studies show that lowering LDL to very low levels, even under 0.2 mmol/L, significantly reduces heart disease risk without increasing other health issues. Tests found no cognitive impacts of lowering LDL cholesterol levels using PCSK9 inhibitors. While statins may slightly increase diabetes risk, other cholesterollowering drugs do not appear to have this effect when lowering cholesterol alone.
Takeaways:
- LDL cholesterol, also known as "bad cholesterol", can be lowered to very low levels safely through medications like statins and PCSK9 inhibitors without adverse effects.
- Clinical trials have shown reductions in heart disease risk and events as LDL cholesterol levels are lowered further, down to levels as low as 0.2 mmol/L.
- Babies are born with very low LDL cholesterol levels around 1.5-1.8 mmol/L, showing the body can function well at these levels.
- People with genetic mutations resulting in very low lifelong cholesterol also appear healthy with no issues.
- Studies found no increased risks of side effects like cognitive impairment or diabetes from extremely low LDL levels achieved through non-statin drugs.
- Statins themselves may not increase dementia risk as previously thought.
- HDL ("good") cholesterol, not LDL, is more closely linked to sex hormone production.
- Lowering LDL does not appear to impact important cholesterol-dependent bodily functions.
- More aggressive LDL lowering can significantly reduce heart disease recurrence rates.
- Joining the "Healthy Heart Network" offers heart health resources and monitoring for a small fee.

Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses various blood tests that can be done if someone has concerns about their bone health such as osteopenia or osteoporosis. He recommends checking kidney and liver function, as well as calcium, phosphate, magnesium and vitamin D levels. Hormone levels should also be analyzed, including testosterone, estrogen, thyroid and adrenal functions. Additional tests may provide information about bone markers, prostate health, inflammation and growth. Regular screening through blood work in combination with lifestyle changes can help detect bone issues early and slow or prevent further bone loss.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with one in four people suffering a heart attack. Lifestyle changes could prevent many cases.
- Bone mineral density scans can assess bone health and detect osteopenia or osteoporosis early. Medicare rebates may cover the cost.
- Blood tests that may be done if low bone density is detected include electrolytes, liver and kidney function, calcium/magnesium/phosphate, full blood count, ESR, thyroid function, vitamin D, and hormones like testosterone.
- Inflammation markers like ESR may indicate issues like myeloma affecting bone health.
- Thyroid function and vitamin D are important for bone health and should be checked.
- Adrenal function impacts bone and should be assessed via DHEAS test.
- Sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone all impact bone health.
- Growth hormone levels impact bone and IGF-1 can be checked.
- PSA screening in men yearly can detect early prostate issues affecting bone.
- Lifestyle programs like those at Osteo Strong can help naturally improve bone density when issues are detected. Early intervention leads to better outcomes.

Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses statin intolerance and the nocebo effect in his podcast. He describes a study that found 78% of patients believed to be statin intolerant were actually able to tolerate the medications. Another study found 72% of self-reported statin intolerant patients could take statins without issues when blinded to the therapy. A trial called Samsung found that 90% of reported muscle symptoms were from the nocebo effect rather than the statins themselves.
Dr. Bishop concludes that lowering statin dosage frequency or adding other drugs can help many more patients achieve health benefits from cholesterol lowering therapies.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with many heart attacks potentially preventable through lifestyle changes like managing blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol.
- Statins are an important medication for lowering cholesterol but some patients report side effects or intolerance.
- Studies show that a significant percentage of patients who report statin intolerance are actually able to tolerate the medications if given in a blinded manner.
- The nocebo effect, where negative expectations cause side effects, appears to account for a large percentage (around 90%) of reported statin side effects in some studies.
- Intermittent dosing of statins, like 2-3 times per week, can still achieve cholesterol goals for many while reducing side effects.
- Adding other medications like PCSK9 inhibitors can further boost cholesterol lowering when used with statins, even at reduced doses or frequency.
- Evaluating for other potential causes of muscle pains is important before attributing them to statins.
- Social media has contributed to negative perceptions of statins that may worsen the nocebo effect.
- Large studies have found similar rates of side effects between different statins and non-statin medications when blinded.
- Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death, so understanding risk factors is important for prevention.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses various topics related to heart health in this episode. He talks about coenzyme Q10 and how exercise can help increase levels of it, even for those taking statins which are known to lower Q10. He also discusses the drug metformin, how it is commonly used for diabetes but is being studied for other potential benefits like reducing cancer and Alzheimer's risk, though these benefits seem mostly applicable for those who are overweight or prediabetic.
The podcast aims to educate listeners about lifestyle factors like weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure that can impact heart health. Dr. Bishop encourages listeners to join his Healthy Heart Network for support and information on improving heart health and reducing heart attack risk.
Takeaways:
- Statins can lower coenzyme Q10 levels in the body and muscle, which some suggest may contribute to statin side effects like muscle aches and pains.
- A study found that while statin use lowers muscle CoQ10 levels, levels did not differ between those with and without statin side effects.
- The study showed that exercise training increased muscle CoQ10 levels across statin users and non-users, and may help counteract oxidative stress from statins.
- Metformin is commonly used to treat diabetes by reducing insulin resistance and lowering blood sugar levels.
- Some research suggests metformin may reduce cancer and Alzheimer's risk by lowering insulin and glucose levels.
- Metformin is also used to treat conditions related to insulin resistance like PCOS, gestational diabetes, and weight gain from antipsychotics.
- Most of metformin's benefits seem to be in overweight, pre-diabetic individuals by reducing hyperinsulinemia.
- The podcast discusses increasing heart health through understanding risk factors like blood pressure, weight, cholesterol.
- It encourages exercise and reviews studies on supplements like CoQ10 and drugs like statins and metformin.
- The host, Dr. Bishop, is a cardiologist who founded the Healthy Heart Network to help people reduce heart attack risk.

This episode discusses a recent cardiology conference attended by Dr. Warrick Bishop. Several interesting talks were presented, including ones on polygenic risk scores, links between cholesterol and amyloid, and new RNA therapies for lowering lipids. Dr. Bishop found talks on improving care for rural communities and a condition called CHIP (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential) particularly fascinating. The conference provided valuable insights and opportunities for networking with colleagues. Overall, Dr. Bishop felt it was well worth attending to learn the latest advances and perspectives in cardiology.
Takeaways:
- The NCC Congress was a cardiology conference held in Sydney that brought together local and international experts to discuss various topics related to cardiovascular health.
- One session involved case presentations of different types of patients by a panel of specialists, giving insights into how different experts approach patient care.
- Professor Florian Cronenberg's talk discussed using polygenic risk scores to more precisely assess individuals' genetic risk levels and guide screening and prevention efforts.
- Professor John Mamo presented research linking LDL particles to amyloid and its potential role in vascular disease and brain health.
- New drugs using small interfering RNA are being developed and used to target cholesterol, triglycerides, and hypertension in innovative ways with long-lasting effects.
- Professor Roxanne Merin highlighted gender disparities in cardiovascular research, outcomes, and care around the world.
- Ventricular assist devices are improving and allowing for longer term bridging to transplant or recovery of heart function.
- Initiatives like the Heart of Australia truck are increasing access to cardiology services in remote areas.
- Social media presents challenges and opportunities for sharing medical information.
- Professor Cronenberg's talk on lipoprotein(a) discussed its role in atherosclerosis and limitations in modifying it through lifestyle and medications.

This episode features a discussion between Dr. Bishop and Lourene Bevaart about health and wellness. Lourene discusses how she helps people improve their health through lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and supplements. She talks about redox signaling molecules and how replenishing these can help cells repair and combat aging. An interesting point she makes is that our levels of these molecules decrease by 10% each decade, which helps explain aging. Lourene finds the supplements especially helpful for issues like brain fog, fatigue, and digestive problems reported by many of her clients.
Takeaways:
- Lourene Bevaart is a former gladiator, karate champion, and fitness trainer who now helps people with health and wellness through supplements and lifestyle coaching.
- She discusses redox signaling molecules, which are nano-sized molecules in cells that help repair and replace damaged cells. Supplementing with redox molecules can help support cellular health and signaling.
- Lourene recommends taking redox supplements in both liquid and gel form daily to support skin, gut, immune system and overall health and reduce signs of aging.
- Other supplements and lifestyle factors she recommends include protein, hydration, sleep, resistance training and steps.
- She discusses how lack of protein can lead to blood sugar crashes and cravings, and emphasizes getting enough protein with each meal and snack.
- Lourene shares success stories of clients improving brain fog, gut issues and more with redox supplements.
- Her own health and financial transformation inspired her to help others through lifestyle coaching and a business opportunity in health supplements.
- Contact details are provided for people to learn more about redox supplements or coaching from Lourene.
- Dr. Bishop emphasizes lifestyle factors like nutrition, hydration and sleep in addition to supplements.
- The podcast aims to help listeners live as well as possible for as long as possible through understanding health risks and taking preventative steps.

I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
The episode features a discussion between doctors Warrick Bishop and Jason Kaplan about lifestyle choices to prevent heart disease. Dr. Kaplan shares that he follows a mostly plant-based diet and engages in regular exercise like swimming and yoga. He noticed improvements in his cholesterol and biomarkers after changing his diet. The doctors discuss research showing that a low-fat plant-based diet can potentially reverse coronary artery disease. They emphasize educating patients so they have the tools to make heart-healthy lifestyle changes.
An interesting point discussed is research by Dean Ornish in the 1990s that used angiography to show regression of plaque in patients following a plant-based diet, providing evidence that diet can potentially reverse heart disease progression.
Takeaways:
- Jason Kaplan follows a mostly plant-based diet and has seen improvements in his LDL cholesterol levels, inflammation markers, and triglycerides.
- Both Jason and Dr. Bishop aim to educate people on lifestyle changes that can prevent heart disease and reduce the need for medical interventions like stents and bypass surgery.
- Dean Ornish's research from the 1990s showed regression of plaque in coronary arteries through lifestyle changes including a plant-based diet.
- Aerobic exercise and getting adequate sleep are important parts of Jason's routine for heart health.
- Moving towards a plant-based diet can be challenging but making gradual changes a few nights a week is a good starting point.
- The blue zones like Loma Linda and the Mediterranean diet involve predominantly plant-based eating patterns.
- Olive oil, nuts, legumes, whole grains are components of the Mediterranean diet associated with heart benefits.
- Reviewing studies like PREDIMED can provide more evidence for plant-based diets and heart health.
- Virtualheartcheck.com.au is mentioned as a website people can use to assess their heart disease risk.
- The podcast aims to educate listeners on preventing heart disease through lifestyle.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
The episode discusses ascending aortic aneurysms and their potential "silver lining" of lower rates of coronary artery disease. The host Doctor Warrick Bishop shares his experience with an ascending aortic aneurysm repaired through a Pairs procedure. While noting the importance of repairing aneurysms due to the high risk of rupture, he questions the clinical relevance of potentially lower coronary risks. The podcast also discusses a study finding that just 10 minutes of daily physical activity may help reduce anxiety. In summary, while ascending aortic aneurysms pose serious health risks, even minimal daily exercise may benefit mental wellbeing.
Takeaways:
- Doctor Warrick Bishop is a cardiologist and CEO of Healthy Heartnet. He gives podcasts on heart health topics like blood pressure, weight, cholesterol.
- He had an ascending aortic aneurysm that was treated with a Pairs procedure, which involves a bespoke sleeve printed from a 3D image of the aorta.
- A study found patients with ascending aortic aneurysms tended to have clear coronary arteries, called a "silver lining."
- Possible reasons for clear arteries included reduced aorta intima thickness and lower LDL cholesterol.
- An ascending aortic aneurysm needs attention if over 45mm and should be operated on by 55mm.
- The common operation removes the affected section and grafts a replacement piece.
- A study found 10 minutes of daily activity for 5 days a week reduced risk of anxiety.
- Exercise has many benefits beyond physical health like better mood.
- Listeners are encouraged to ask questions and share or subscribe to the podcast.
- Healthy Heart Network offers membership for heart health information and risk assessment.

The episode discusses Doctor Warrick Bishop's experience with eye issues over several years. After noticing vision problems, he discovered small retinal tears that required laser treatment. Regular checkups then revealed elevated eye pressure, though no glaucoma damage yet. He now must use eye drops indefinitely to control his pressure. Doctor Bishop emphasizes the importance of maintenance and regular health screenings to catch issues early when they can be managed.
Takeaways:
- The speaker, Dr. Warrick Bishop, is a cardiologist who hosts a podcast about heart health and shares his own experience dealing with eye issues.
- He noticed issues with blurriness and clarity in his right eye, which led him to see an optometrist and ophthalmologist.
- Examinations revealed tears in his retina which were treated with laser surgery.
- His eye pressures were also borderline high, so he underwent another laser procedure to improve fluid drainage.
- Over a year later he again noticed vision issues in his right eye and it felt heavy. Testing found high pressure in that eye.
- High pressure can damage the optic nerve if left untreated, leading to vision loss - a condition called glaucoma.
- He feels lucky his issues were caught early before nerve damage occurred.
- He now takes eye drops regularly to manage his condition.
- Key risk factors for eye pressure issues are age and family history.
- Regular eye exams are important for monitoring conditions like glaucoma that can be managed if caught early.

This episode discusses approaches to strength training and fitness for older adults. It recommends twice-weekly full-body strength sessions focusing on compound exercises like squats, deadlifts, and presses. Intensity should start low and progressively increase to build strength and injury resistance. Additionally, sessions should end with high-intensity interval training to develop cardiovascular fitness.
The discussion delves into how different rep ranges trigger distinct muscle responses for strength, hypertrophy, or endurance. Supplemental techniques like blood flow restriction may help with rehabilitation by enhancing muscle pump. Overall, the podcast provides a science-based yet practical blueprint for improving fitness through resistance and metabolic training.
Takeaways:
- Dr. Warrick Bishop interviews health coach Jason Curtis about strength training programs for 50-year-old men.
- Curtis emphasizes assessing movement quality through exercises like squats and lunges before designing a program. He progresses difficulty slowly to avoid injury.
- Programs include compound lifts targeting fundamental movements like hinging, squatting, pushing, and pulling using free weights for their functional benefits.
- Sessions start with strength training and end with conditioning, progressing from steady-state to high-intensity work over weeks.
- Twice-weekly 1-hour sessions are optimal, focusing on strength then metabolic conditioning. More frequent lighter sessions can also provide benefits.
- Muscle can hypertrophy across rep ranges with progressive overload. Lower reps build more strength through neural and fast-twitch fiber recruitment. Higher reps improve endurance.
- Programs should incorporate different rep ranges to fully develop strength, hypertrophy and endurance.
- Blood flow restriction can augment muscle pump and growth factors from exercise.
- Explosive exercises like jumps potentiate the nervous system for strength training.
- Health and enjoyment should guide choices like fasting, not just potential physiological effects. Slow progress prevents injury and burnout.

This episode discusses health and fitness, featuring an interview with strength coach Jason Curtis. Curtis discusses his background in the military and passion for physical training. He now owns a gym and has authored over 20 books. Curtis finds that many people become more focused on healthspan than lifespan as they age. He sees more motivation from paying gym members than forced military trainees. While exercise is important, Curtis believes nutrition requires a different skillset and refers clients to specialists. The episode concludes by discussing Curtis' process for writing books and passion for publishing physical copies.
Takeaways:
- Jason Curtis is a strength and conditioning coach based in the UK who has authored over 20 books. He discusses his journey from a military background into the fitness industry.
- Jason found that civilians seeking out personal training were often more motivated than those in the military who were required to exercise. Many civilians now pursue fitness goals beyond just appearance.
- The concept of "health span" over lifespan is becoming increasingly important as people focus on being active and independent in their older years.
- Free or discounted content tends to have lower completion rates compared to paid content, since payment represents investment on the user's part.
- Jason has coined the term "conventional fitness racing" to describe low-barrier athletic events involving running and bodyweight exercises that are growing in popularity.
- Nutrition is an important complement to exercise but requires a different skill set than programming workouts. Jason refers clients to specialized nutrition coaches.
- Jason writes detailed books by first outlining the table of contents and section headings, then filling in content details.
- The middle stage of a writing project can be challenging as initial momentum wanes before completion.
- Publishing a physical book provides satisfaction beyond digital formats.
- Heart disease is a major global killer that can often be prevented through lifestyle changes like managing risk factors.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
This episode discusses heart rate and heart health. Dr. Bishop explains that a normal resting heart rate is around 60-100 beats per minute. He outlines factors that impact heart rate like age, fitness level, and medical conditions. Target heart rates for exercise are discussed as well as how medications can influence stress test results. The episode also explores heart rate variability and new technologies for monitoring heart rate.
An interesting point is how devices like the Apple Watch have potential for irregular rhythm detection but have limitations in older populations.
Takeaways:
- Heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute, is a common vital sign measured to understand heart health. The normal resting heart rate for adults is around 60-100 beats per minute.
- Factors like age, fitness level, medications, and medical conditions can impact one's normal heart rate range. Rates above 100 bpm at rest or below 50 bpm may warrant further examination.
- Target heart rates for exercise are typically 50-70% of one's maximum predicted heart rate, which is 220 minus one's age. This provides a range for moderate intensity exercise.
- Stress tests aim to raise the heart rate to around 85% of maximum predicted rate to thoroughly evaluate heart function under strain. Some medications that regulate heart rate may interfere with stress test results.
- Heart rate variability, the variation in time between heartbeats, provides insight into cardiac health and ability to respond to demands on the body. Lower variability can indicate issues.
- Smartwatches and fitness trackers are increasingly used to monitor heart rate but have limitations, especially for older users and arrhythmia detection. Medical-grade ECGs remain more reliable.
- Long-term heart rate monitors via patches can track heart rate over days to better understand any irregular rhythms.
- Genetics may play a role in normal heart rate ranges, with some families naturally running on the slower side.
- Infections, arrhythmias, and anxiety can cause temporary elevated heart rates above normal ranges.
- Maintaining overall heart health involves understanding heart rate metrics and risks, engaging in moderate exercise, and seeking medical guidance when readings seem abnormal.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all of this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health. Join me on my personal mission journey to prevent Heart Attack on a global scale.

Are You at Risk of a Sudden Heart Attack? How Healthy is Your Heart? Really?
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the Western World. In Australia, someone dies every 28 minutes from heart disease. That’s 51 people a day. In the US, someone has a heart attack every 40 SECONDS! Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.
- 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
- 59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
- Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
This episode discusses heart health and risks of heart disease. Doctor Bishop critiques another podcast where a lecturer suggests his high calcium score was due to inflammation from long-term endurance exercise. However, Doctor Bishop argues this oversimplifies the complex causes, noting age and genetics also impact calcium levels. He questions why inflammation would only affect the coronary arteries, not all arteries evenly.
The lecturer did not mention other important risk factors like cholesterol levels. Doctor Bishop believes too much responsibility was placed on exercise alone and cautions people to carefully evaluate health information. High intensity exercise may actually stabilize plaque by increasing calcium deposits. The causes of heart disease are multifaceted and require considering multiple risk factors, not just exercise habits.
Takeaways:
- This episode discusses the importance of getting a coronary artery calcium score, or cardiac CT scan, to be proactive about heart health.
- Doctor Bishop shares his reaction to another podcast where a university lecturer in his 60s discussed reluctantly getting his own calcium score due to family history of heart issues.
- The lecturer's score was very high for his age, but he claimed to have no major risk factors as an avid lifelong exerciser with good diet and habits.
- The lecturer concluded that inflammation from his long-term endurance exercise was the cause of his heart disease, which the host disputes.
- Doctor Bishop argues exercise more likely reduces inflammation and almost eradicates heart disease, rather than causes it.
- Key risk factors like cholesterol levels were not mentioned by the lecturer.
- Calcium buildup may indicate plaque stabilization from exercise rather than active inflammation.
- The complexity of heart disease is not fully understood, so oversimplifying causes can mislead listeners.
- Listeners need to be careful about where they get information from—even qualified professionals can provide misleading or inaccurate information if they aren't an expert in this field. Experts can help by "staying in their lane."
- Doctor Bishop's goal is to provide listeners the best information to live as long and healthy as possible.

This episode discusses a scientific statement from the American Heart Association on the impact of aggressive LDL cholesterol lowering on the risk of dementia and hemorrhagic stroke. The statement finds that lowering LDL cholesterol reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and does not increase the risks of dementia or hemorrhagic stroke.
While some older studies suggested potential cognitive effects, larger and randomized studies do not support this. The risk of hemorrhagic stroke is also small and nonsignificant for those without a history of cerebrovascular disease. The statement concludes that concerns about these risks should not prevent clinicians from treating patients to the recommended LDL cholesterol targets.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with many heart attacks potentially preventable through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
- The podcast aims to educate listeners about blood pressure, weight, cholesterol and their impact on heart health.
- The American Heart Association reviewed studies on the effects of aggressively lowering LDL cholesterol on the brain.
- Lowering LDL cholesterol reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease according to available data.
- Large observational studies and randomized trials do not show statins or LDL lowering increase risk of cognitive impairment or dementia in the short term.
- Studies found no clear evidence LDL lowering increases risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
- Populations with lifelong low LDL cholesterol do not have higher stroke risk.
- Lower LDL correlates with lower overall and recurrent stroke risk mainly due to reducing ischemic strokes.
- Concerns about hemorrhagic stroke should not deter clinicians from treating patients to LDL guidelines.
- More research is needed on very low LDL's effects and statins' risks in patients with prior brain bleeds.

This episode discusses presentations from the annual Queensland lipid group meeting. Professor Derek Connelly spoke about overcoming inertia in cholesterol lowering. A new drug called Inclisiran was discussed, which reduces LDL cholesterol through the PCSK9 protein system and only requires dosing every 6 months. Karam Kostner presented on lipoprotein(a), an emerging risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Professor David Cahun emphasized the importance of measuring the omega-3 index through a blood test. Talks addressed inflammation and how diet and certain drugs may help reduce it. Imaging techniques are blurring the line between primary and secondary prevention by finding plaque in asymptomatic patients. Coronary calcium scoring provided insights into risk assessment. The meeting covered various topics around optimizing cardiovascular health and risk reduction.
Takeaways:
- The podcast discusses a recent Queensland lipid group meeting attended by Dr. Warrick Bishop, covering topics like overcoming inertia in cholesterol lowering.
- Professor Derek Connelly presented on challenges with statin medication adherence and a new PCSK9 inhibitor called Inclisiran that could be available on Australia's PBS next year.
- Inclisiran works through the PCSK9 protein system to increase LDL receptor expression in the liver and lower LDL cholesterol levels, with dosing every 6 months after an initial period.
- Karam Kostner presented on lipoprotein(a), a risk factor for premature coronary artery disease and inflammation. Testing costs $60 currently without a Medicare rebate.
- Professor David Cahun discussed the importance of measuring omega-3 index levels via a $100 blood test to understand benefits of omega-3 oil consumption better.
- Talks covered targets for reducing inflammation like C-reactive protein and the inflammasome pathway.
- Dietary intervention studies on inflammation and weight management were discussed as having the most robust evidence.
- Imaging techniques like coronary calcium scoring and cardiac CT were presented, showing how they can redefine primary and secondary prevention.
- The episode recommends the Healthy Heart Network as a resource for understanding heart health risks.
- A variety of cardiac risk factors, treatments, and preventative strategies are reviewed based on presentations at the lipid group meeting.

This episode discusses a study finding that both visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat are linked to lower brain volume in middle-aged adults. Visceral fat around the organs and subcutaneous fat under the skin were associated with brain atrophy on MRI scans, especially in women. Excess abdominal fat was found to predict reductions in total gray and white matter as well as specific brain regions.
While the effects were small for individuals, trends emerged across large samples. Lifestyle factors like physical activity and diet were not fully accounted for. The research suggests abdominal fat may help explain previously reported connections between obesity and cognitive decline.
Takeaways:
- Abdominal fat, both visceral fat around the organs and subcutaneous fat under the skin, is linked to lower brain volume according to a new study of over 10,000 middle-aged adults.
- Higher amounts of both visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat predicted lower total gray matter and white matter brain volume.
- The hippocampus, frontal cortex, and other brain regions also showed lower volumes associated with increased abdominal fat.
- Women appeared to have a higher burden on brain atrophy from increased visceral fat compared to men.
- While statistically significant, the effect sizes of visceral fat on gray matter changes were generally small in individuals.
- The study was cross-sectional so it cannot determine if increasing fat causes brain shrinkage.
- Lifestyle factors like physical activity and diet that could impact this relationship were not fully accounted for.
- Previous studies linked obesity to cognitive decline and dementia risk, and this study suggests a potential mechanism.
- Reduced brain volumes may be tied to problems with thinking, memory, and everyday tasks.
- Maintaining a healthy weight and active lifestyle both physically and mentally could help minimize risks.

The episode discusses common cardiac drugs and some potential drug interactions. It covers aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, proton pump inhibitors, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, digoxin, nitrates, and amiodarone. Notably, grapefruit can increase serum levels of beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and some statins, potentially leading to toxicity.
Takeaways:
- Aspirin is commonly used to thin the blood and prevent clotting by blocking platelets. It can interact badly with other blood thinners like clopidogrel.
- Warfarin works by interfering with vitamin K and the coagulation cascade. It can be affected by foods high in vitamin K like leafy greens. Consistency is important.
- Clopidogrel blocks platelets and works with aspirin, but proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole can reduce its effectiveness.
- Beta blockers can have their levels increased by grapefruit juice through metabolic interactions.
- Grapefruit can also increase calcium channel blockers and some statins through similar mechanisms.
- ACE inhibitors and diuretics like furosemide can interact around potassium - monitoring is important.
- Digoxin toxicity is a risk with low potassium.
- Sublingual nitroglycerin and Viagra-like drugs can dangerously lower blood pressure together.
- Amiodarone absorption is increased by high fat meals due to its fat solubility.
- The podcast provides information on common cardiac drugs and warns of important drug-drug interactions.
Warfarin's effects can be altered by foods high in vitamin K like leafy greens. Clopidogrel's effectiveness may be reduced when taken with proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole. Combining nitrates with phosphodiesterase inhibitors like sildenafil can cause profound blood pressure drops. The host recommends being aware of possible drug interactions and maintaining regular communication with doctors.

This episode discusses 10 commandments for heart health, including not smoking, regular exercise, healthy eating, limiting alcohol, controlling blood pressure and weight, managing diabetes and cholesterol, understanding heart medications, and building a support system. It recommends getting a heart scan to precisely determine cardiovascular risk beyond standard risk calculators. An interesting finding mentioned is that a study on the artificial sweetener aspartame showed it could increase anxiety levels even in subsequent generations of mice not directly exposed.
Takeaways:
- The 10 Commandments of Heart Health are: don't smoke, exercise regularly, eat well and maintain a healthy weight, limit alcohol consumption, keep blood pressure under control, monitor diabetes, know your cardiovascular risk, know your cholesterol levels, understand aspirin and heart medications, and have your own support team.
- Smoking greatly increases the risk of heart disease and is very addictive.
- Regular exercise can help reduce risks of heart attack, stroke, dementia and improve mental health.
- Processed and artificial foods may negatively impact health in unintended ways over generations.
- Moderate alcohol intake is best, with complete abstinence having no detrimental effects.
- High blood pressure increases risks of stroke, heart attack and other conditions.
- Being overweight increases risks of diabetes and heart disease.
- Knowing precise cardiovascular risk requires artery imaging beyond standard risk calculators.
- Cholesterol levels should be monitored and managed with doctor guidance.
- Surrounding oneself with a supportive team is important for lifestyle changes.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses heart disease risks and prevention on his podcast. He talks about an interesting presentation he saw on myocardial bridging, where the coronary artery runs through the heart muscle in 20% of people. This was thought to not impact blood flow, but can in rare cases limit flow and cause angina symptoms. This is a cause of MINOCA syndrome, where ischemia occurs despite clear arteries.
Doctor Bishop describes diagnostic tests like CT scans and intravascular ultrasound to identify bridging arteries. Surgery called deroofing can be done to free up a compressed artery. Medications may also help symptoms but stents are unlikely to. The podcast highlights this potential new cause of angina symptoms from a rare arterial variation.
Takeaway:
- Heart disease is a major problem in Australia, with someone suffering a heart attack every 20 minutes. Most cases could be prevented through lifestyle changes.
- The podcast aims to educate listeners about blood pressure, weight, cholesterol and how to live a long and healthy life.
- Myocardial bridges occur when the coronary arteries run through the heart muscle instead of over its surface, which can happen in up to 20% of people.
- It was previously thought myocardial bridges did not restrict blood flow, but new research shows they can in rare cases limit blood flow and cause angina-like symptoms.
- This condition is called MINOCA (myocardial ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries).
- Tests like CT scans, stress tests and invasive angiography may not provide clear diagnosis for MINOCA, but intravascular ultrasound can identify compression of arteries in myocardial bridges.
- Surgery to remove the surrounding heart muscle (deroofing) may help in some cases of myocardial bridge-related chest pain.
- Stents do not typically help MINOCA caused by myocardial bridges.
- Medications like beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and nitroglycerin can relieve angina symptoms from myocardial bridges.
- The website heartcheck.com.au allows people to assess their heart disease risk and learn more about prevention.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses various topics from a cardiology conference, including long QT syndrome and how stress testing can help evaluate it. He highlights that only 32% of patients with high blood pressure have it adequately controlled. Doctor Bishop also notes the complexities of managing pregnant patients with mechanical heart valves, as anticoagulation treatment needs careful monitoring. The podcast provides insights from medical experts on important cardiovascular issues like blood pressure management and risks during pregnancy, helping listeners understand heart health.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with someone suffering a heart attack every 20 minutes. Lifestyle changes like managing blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol can help reduce risks.
- Long QT syndrome is a condition where the QT interval on an ECG is abnormally long, increasing risks of cardiac arrhythmias. Stress tests can help evaluate how the QT interval changes.
- Different beta blockers may be better than others for long QT syndrome. Seeking guidance from experts is recommended.
- Measuring central blood pressure within the aorta may provide additional clinical insights compared to arm blood pressure readings.
- Only 5% of home blood pressure machines in Australia have been validated against standards, making their readings potentially unreliable. 24-hour blood pressure monitors are a better option.
- Over 60% of high blood pressure cases in Australia are not well controlled, increasing health risks. Getting blood pressure checked is important.
- Managing heart conditions during pregnancy, like with mechanical heart valves, can be very complex and require careful anticoagulation monitoring.
- Discussing any heart issues with cardiologists and obstetricians before trying to get pregnant is strongly advised.
- Coronary artery disease is a major killer, affecting 1 in 4 people. Understanding personal risks can help.
- The podcast aims to provide information to help people live as well as possible for as long as possible through better heart health.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all of this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health. Join me on my personal mission journey to prevent Heart Attack on a global scale. If you like this podcast, I would be honoured by a 5-star review and appreciate if you let your friends and family know about this podcast; you may even save the life of someone you love!
Are You at Risk of a Sudden Heart Attack? How Healthy is Your Heart? Really?
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the Western World. In Australia, someone dies every 28 minutes from heart disease. That’s 51 people a day. In the US, someone has a heart attack every 40 SECONDS! Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.

Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses various topics related to heart health and inflammation in this podcast. He talks about a study that found intensive periodontal treatment reduced blood pressure by 5-10 mmHg by reducing inflammation. Another interesting finding was that rats who experienced a stroke showed changes in their gut microbiome and increased gut permeability, leading to systemic infection.
Doctor Bishop also discusses how a high-salt diet can directly damage the gut microbiome and allow inflammatory proteins to enter the bloodstream, triggering inflammation in blood vessels even before high blood pressure occurs. He recommends keeping salt intake low, staying hydrated, and consuming fiber to help protect the gut from these salt-related harms.

The episode discusses different causes of non-traumatic loss of consciousness or syncope, including cardiac, epileptic, and psychogenic reasons. Cardiac causes could be things like structural heart issues, arrhythmia, or orthostatic hypotension from standing up. Doctor Warrick highlights how an epileptic seizure may involve jerking at the onset of loss of consciousness unlike cardiac syncope. Taking a thorough history from witnesses is important to determine the likely cause. One interesting point was how tongue biting on the sides suggests epilepsy while biting the tip suggests falling during cardiac syncope. Distinguishing the etiology helps guide appropriate workup and management.
Takeaways:
- Syncope refers to a temporary loss of consciousness, often called a blackout. It can be caused by cardiac issues, epilepsy, or rare conditions like brain hemorrhages.
- Cardiac causes include structural heart problems, arrhythmias, orthostatic hypotension, and vasovagal syncope triggered by emotions or bodily stimuli.
- Epileptic seizures may involve jerking movements at the onset of loss of consciousness while cardiac causes typically do not.
- The history surrounding a syncope episode, including details from witnesses, is important for determining the underlying cause.
- Vasovagal syncope is linked to overstimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system and often involves prodromal symptoms.
- Orthostatic hypotension causes fainting when standing up due to low blood pressure.
- Structural heart issues like valve problems can trigger syncope, especially with exertion.
- Family history of sudden cardiac death raises suspicion of an inherited cardiac condition.
- Tongue biting patterns differ between cardiac and epileptic causes.
- Risk factors for coronary artery disease should be evaluated using an online heart risk checker.

The episode discusses grip strength as an indicator of overall health, with weaker grip linked to various illnesses. Data from the Swedish army found men with weaker grips were 20% more likely to die by age 55. Exercises like weightlifting can strengthen grip indirectly. The host also updates on heavy metals in chocolate, noting some studies found links to lower bone density but chocolate has antioxidants too. Listeners provided more data, suggesting raw cacao may be healthier than dark chocolate. In summary, grip strength and chocolate content were insightful topics covered to help listeners improve their health.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with someone suffering a heart attack every 20 minutes. Lifestyle changes can help prevent many cases.
- Grip strength can reveal health issues beyond just hand strength, like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more. Weaker grip strength is linked to higher mortality and suicide rates.
- Regular exercise of any kind can help improve grip strength as part of overall body strength. Weight lifting requires grip strength.
- Getting grip strength checked and knowing your age norms can flag potential health issues to address.
- Chocolate may contain heavy metals that are linked to lower bone density, though it also has antioxidants that benefit bone health and mood.
- The effects of chocolate on health are still unclear, but checking supplier reliability on heavy metals is advised.
- Raw cacao has more antioxidants than dark chocolate and may be a healthier option than chocolate.
- The podcast offers information to help understand heart health risks and improve prevention of heart attacks.
- Listeners can join an online community for heart health for a low lifetime membership fee.
- Feedback from listeners provided additional studies on chocolate and bone health risks.

The episode discusses several studies presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress, including one finding that completely opening blocked arteries in older heart attack patients led to better outcomes. Another study surprisingly showed iron infusion did not help heart failure patients as expected. The episode also mentions that ablation seems to be more effective for atrial fibrillation in advanced heart failure cases.
Managing weight through drugs like Ozempic was found to benefit those with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction as well. Throughout, Doctor Warrick emphasizes the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to genetic heart conditions.
Takeaways:
- Complete revascularization for older heart attack patients (over age 75) provided better outcomes than just treating the culprit lesion.
- Treating atrial fibrillation through ablation procedures can be more effective for patients with end-stage heart failure.
- New ESC guidelines on cardiomyopathy emphasize a multidisciplinary approach integrating genetics, imaging, and cardiology.
- Genetic testing allows for better screening and targeting of care for specific genetic forms of heart disease.
- A study on iron infusion found no benefits for heart failure patients, contrary to previous evidence. More research is needed.
- Weight loss drugs like Ozempic can provide benefits for obese heart failure patients by improving symptoms.
- Checking risk factors like weight, cholesterol, blood pressure is important for better heart health outcomes.
- One person dies of a heart attack every 20 minutes in Australia and every 60 seconds in the US.
- The virtualheartcheck.com.au website allows people to assess their heart attack risk and next steps.
- Lifestyle changes like weight loss through drugs can improve quality of life for heart failure patients.

The episode discusses reduced carbohydrate diets and their effects on cardiovascular health. While such diets may help with weight control and blood sugar levels, there is debate around their long-term safety, especially for those with heart disease or diabetes. Saturated fat intake is known to raise LDL cholesterol, which can increase heart risks. However, monounsaturated fats may be more favorable.
The experts discuss how individual responses to diet and cholesterol-lowering medications can vary greatly. They agree these diets can be appropriate for healthy people without heart conditions, but more research is still needed on long-term outcomes. The potential benefits must be weighed against risks for each individual patient.
Takeaways:
- There is an ongoing debate about the health effects of reduced carbohydrate diets, especially those that promote ketosis, for people with cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
- High LDL cholesterol levels are a concern for some people on low-carb, high-fat diets long-term, though other factors like reduced inflammation may be beneficial.
- Medications like statins are generally recommended to lower LDL for those with heart disease or diabetes.
- Saturated fat intake increases LDL levels, but the type (small dense vs large buoyant particles) and food source may matter.
- Monounsaturated fats like olive oil are likely more favorable than saturated fats or polyunsaturated seed oils.
- More data is needed on long-term outcomes for arteries and plaque of those on low-carb diets.
- Individual responses to diet and medications can vary significantly.
- Low-carb diets appear safe for healthy individuals without heart or metabolic issues.
- Experts disagree on recommendations for low-carb diets, especially for diabetics.
- Multiple dietary and non-dietary factors influence heart disease risk.

This episode discusses LDL cholesterol and its link to coronary artery disease. While LDL is generally considered a risk factor, it may not predict outcomes for every individual. Different types of LDL particles can vary in their risks, with smaller, denser particles posing more issues. Triglyceride levels were also noted as important. Guest Doctor Sangster shared how investigating particle size led to insights. Lowering LDL through diet, statins, or other means seemed to provide benefits to those with demonstrated artery problems.
Takeaways:
- LDL cholesterol is considered a major risk factor for coronary artery disease by most cardiologists. High LDL can progress plaque buildup in arteries.
- However, not everyone with high LDL will develop heart disease, so LDL levels alone can't accurately predict risk. Other factors like lifestyle are involved.
- There are different types of LDL particles - some are larger and fluffier while others are smaller and denser. The smaller, denser particles seem to correlate more strongly with heart disease.
- Triglyceride levels are also important, as high triglycerides are associated with more of the atherogenic small, dense LDL particles.
- For those who have already demonstrated plaque buildup or heart issues, lowering LDL through diet, statins, or other means can reduce future risk.
- Diet, especially low-carb, can help control LDL particle size and triglycerides for some people like diabetics.
- Residual high triglycerides in diabetics may also increase risk of microvascular complications affecting small blood vessels.
- Statins may have additional benefits beyond LDL lowering, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-coagulant effects.
- Imaging arteries can help determine if an individual's cholesterol is actually affecting their arteries in a problematic way.
- The relationship between LDL and heart disease risk is complex with many factors involved, not a simple direct causation.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition where the muscles in the throat relax during sleep, causing partial or complete airway blockage. Risk factors include obesity, age, family history, and being male. Symptoms include loud snoring, gasping, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Left untreated, OSA can increase risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and vehicle accidents.
Diagnosis involves an overnight sleep test to measure breathing disruptions. Weight loss and lifestyle changes can help mild cases. Treatment often involves using a CPAP machine, which blows air to keep the airway open during sleep and reduces daytime sleepiness by 70%. This episode highlights how undiagnosed OSA in truck drivers increases safety risks on the road.
Takeaways:
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects around 20 million adults in the US and tens to hundreds of thousands in Australia, with risk factors including obesity, age, family history, and being male.
- Symptoms of OSA include loud snoring, choking, gasping, waking up from sleep, and excessive daytime sleepiness.
- OSA can be diagnosed through an overnight sleep test called a polysomnogram that measures things like breathing rate and oxygen saturation.
- Untreated OSA is linked to increased risks of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, accidents, and early death from cardiovascular causes.
- Initial treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like losing weight, avoiding sleeping on the back, and not drinking alcohol before bed.
- The primary treatment is a CPAP machine that blows air into the nose and mouth to keep the airway open during sleep.
- CPAP therapy can reduce daytime sleepiness by up to 70% for those who use it properly.
- Getting a good mask fit is important for long-term CPAP use and adherence.
- OSA can impact relationships if a partner finds the CPAP mask disturbing.
- Getting tested is recommended if symptoms are present or risk factors apply, especially for safety critical roles like driving.

The episode discusses various topics in sports cardiology and cardiac health. It explores the potential link between endurance exercise and atrial fibrillation in athletes. It also notes that exercise is generally good for heart health but may be associated with increased calcium buildup in arteries for long-distance runners. The episode covers genetic testing for cardiac conditions in athletes and reviews causes of sudden cardiac death in young people, finding that coronary artery disease is a leading cause. It highlights the importance of identifying people with familial hypercholesterolemia to reduce cardiac risks.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with someone suffering a heart attack every 20 minutes. Many cases could be prevented through lifestyle changes.
- Exercise is generally good for heart health but may increase risk of atrial fibrillation in highly trained endurance athletes, especially men.
- Endurance athletes may experience structural remodeling of the heart muscles that increases risk of arrhythmias.
- Genetic testing is important for identifying cardiac issues in athletes, but requires pre-test counseling to understand results.
- Sudden cardiac death in young people under 35 is a complex issue with multiple potential causes like coronary artery disease, drug toxicity, and genetic heart muscle conditions.
- Coronary artery anomalies are not a major risk factor for sudden cardiac death in young people as previously believed.
- Identifying and treating familial hypercholesterolemia could significantly reduce sudden cardiac deaths from early coronary artery disease.
- Increased calcium buildup is seen in heart artery scans of long distance runners but may not necessarily lead to heart attacks.
- Combining calcium scans and coronary angiograms provides more accurate picture of artery health than calcium scans alone.
- Drug overdoses are a leading preventable cause of sudden cardiac death behind coronary artery disease in young people.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all of this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health. Join me on my personal mission journey to prevent Heart Attack on a global scale. If you like this podcast, I would be honoured by a 5-star review and appreciate if you let your friends and family know about this podcast; you may even save the life of someone you love!
Are You at Risk of a Sudden Heart Attack? How Healthy is Your Heart? Really?
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the Western World. In Australia, someone dies every 28 minutes from heart disease. That’s 51 people a day. In the US, someone has a heart attack every 40 SECONDS! Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.
- 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
- 59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
- Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses the risks of heart disease and introduces his podcast aimed at helping listeners understand factors like blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol. He reads an article questioning the effectiveness of blue light glasses, noting that screens expose us to only a tiny fraction of blue light compared to daylight and glasses filter only 10-25% of that. The episode also covers a study finding that inhaling pleasant scents during sleep was linked to dramatically improved memory and brain activity, with those exposed to essential oils experiencing a 226% boost in memory performance. This preliminary research suggests the olfactory system may directly impact memory centers in the brain.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a major cause of death in Australia and other Western countries, responsible for over 9 million deaths globally per year.
- The podcast aims to educate listeners about modifiable risk factors for heart disease like blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol.
- A study found that blue light blocking glasses likely do not reduce eye strain from screen time or improve sleep, as the amount of blue light from screens is very small compared to natural daylight.
- Inhaling pleasant scents during sleep, like rose, orange, and eucalyptus essential oils, was linked to a dramatic 226% improvement in memory performance.
- Functional MRI scans showed those exposed to the scents had improved brain activity in areas linked to memory and cognition.
- The olfactory nerves connect directly to memory areas of the brain, providing a "super highway" of input not seen with other senses.
- Websites like virtualheartcheck.com.au can assess an individual's heart disease risk factors and provide recommendations.
- One person dies of a heart attack every 30 minutes in Australia and every 60 seconds in the United States.
- Heart disease causes over 9 million deaths globally per year.
- Regular breaks, limiting screen time before bed, and cutting down on overall screen time can help reduce eye strain.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses two important health stories in the podcast. First, he disagrees with a US task force recommendation against screening children for high cholesterol, citing evidence that early treatment can help those with a genetic condition called familial hypercholesterolemia. Second, he outlines findings from a large trial showing that testosterone therapy for men aged 45-80 does not increase risks of heart issues or prostate cancer. However, it may slightly raise risks of atrial fibrillation, kidney injury, and pulmonary embolism. Interestingly, it also seemed to increase fracture risk, possibly because the men felt better and became more physically active.
Takeaways:
- Dr. Warrick Bishop is a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, focused on helping people live long and healthy lives by understanding factors like blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol.
- One in five Australians suffer a heart attack each year, many of which could be prevented through lifestyle changes.
- Early treatment of elevated cholesterol levels in children with familial hypercholesterolemia may help prevent early heart attacks later in life.
- Genetic testing can accurately identify familial hypercholesterolemia and enable early treatment from ages 7-8.
- A large study found no increased risks of heart attack, stroke, or prostate cancer from daily testosterone gel treatment in men aged 45-80 over 2 years.
- Testosterone treatment was associated with a small increased risk of atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury, and pulmonary embolism.
- Counterintuitively, testosterone treatment was linked to an increased risk of fractures.
- Increased activity and muscle from feeling better on testosterone may explain the fracture finding.
- Testosterone improved sexual function and well-being without major health risks.
- The Healthy Heart Network offers membership to help understand heart health risks and positive steps people can take.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
Dr. Warrick Bishop hosts a podcast about health and wellness. He discusses findings from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, which found that close relationships and good health were the two major factors for happiness. Strong relationships were actually a better predictor of good health outcomes than other factors like career success. The study also showed that happiness fluctuates and loneliness can be problematic if one does not have close relationships. Dr. Bishop then talks about research on detecting cancers like colorectal cancer through blood tests by finding abnormal DNA and RNA fragments in the bloodstream. He highlights that non-invasive blood tests for cancer may soon replace colonoscopies. In closing, Dr. Bishop encourages living well and building relationships for a happy life.

Dr. Bishop discusses heart health and the importance of controlling blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol. He then reports on two recent studies. The first found that some dark chocolate bars contained potentially harmful levels of heavy metals like lead and cadmium. The second study surprisingly discovered that the artificial sweetener aspartame may increase anxiety-like behaviors in mice and possibly even affect their descendants. This indicates aspartame's effects may not be as harmless as previously thought and more research is needed.

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart's electrical system malfunctions, causing an irregular heartbeat. This requires immediate CPR and defibrillation to restore a normal rhythm. A heart attack is caused by blocked arteries and may lead to cardiac arrest over time. While some studies have found a link between mRNA vaccines and myocarditis or pericarditis, particularly in young men, there is no evidence these vaccines cause sudden cardiac death. For anyone experiencing chest pain, if there is any uncertainty about the cause, it is important to get it checked by a doctor to rule out a potential heart issue.

In this episode, Doctor Bishop delves into the complex topic of heart rate variability and its implications for overall health. Doctor Bishop acknowledges that understanding heart rate variability is challenging but emphasizes the importance of exploring it further. Heart rate variability has been linked to the health of the heart, gut, and gas exchange in the body. It is influenced by the autonomic nervous system and can fluctuate over time. Doctor Bishop expresses optimism about the future of understanding and utilizing heart rate variability, especially with the help of wearable monitoring devices.

Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it. The devastating fact in all of this is… Every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This episode discusses various tests cardiologists use to evaluate heart health. Simple tests like blood pressure checks and listening to the heart are routinely done in the clinic. Electrocardiograms and echocardiograms provide further information about heart function. Stress tests while monitoring the heart can reveal issues during exertion. Blood tests for proteins can indicate if the heart is under strain. Magnetic resonance imaging and heart biopsies are also options but used less frequently. Coronary artery disease is a major killer, so evaluating risk factors is important for prevention.
Blackouts can have many causes including heart issues, brain problems, low blood pressure, and nerves. The heart can cause blackouts due to valve problems, fast rhythms, or slow rhythms. The brain can cause blackouts from strokes or seizures. Low blood pressure, especially in older people or those on medication, can lead to blackouts. Simple faints from overheating or stress on the nerves are the most common cause of blackouts. Tests like echocardiograms and electroencephalograms can help determine the root cause. Driver's licenses may be held until the cause of blackouts is properly identified to ensure safety.

This episode discusses the difference between white fat and brown fat. White fat stores energy and can cause health problems, while brown fat helps regulate temperature in young mammals through non-shivering thermogenesis. This process involves mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 that generates heat instead of ATP.
Heart attack occurs when an artery to the heart is suddenly blocked, depriving the heart muscle of blood and oxygen. Heart failure means the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, causing fatigue and fluid buildup in the lungs and legs. Early detection of heart failure is important so medication can be started promptly. New AI tools show promise in speeding up diagnosis of heart conditions but privacy concerns must be addressed before widespread adoption. While AI could save doctors time, questions remain about data ownership and protection of patient information. While AI may revolutionize medicine, proper safeguards must be put in place to ensure patient privacy and integrity of care.
The heart is the most important organ as it pumps blood to supply oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide waste. Blood returns to the heart through veins and is pumped to the lungs by the right side of the heart. In the lungs, blood releases carbon dioxide and takes up oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood then enters the left side of the heart which pumps it to the body tissues. The heart has valves to ensure blood flows in one direction. Each heart cell can generate its own electrical signal which coordinates the heart's pumping action. The electrical system acts like a timing mechanism for the heart's pumping function.

This episode discusses heart-related symptoms and how to think of the heart like a car engine with an electrical system, pistons and valves, and fuel lines. Problems with the electrical system can cause palpitations or blackouts. Issues with the pistons and valves often lead to shortness of breath and swelling. Blocked fuel lines can cause chest pain or angina due to lack of blood flow. Women tend to experience more shortness of breath rather than chest pain from coronary artery disease. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately.

This episode discusses strategies to prevent heart attacks and improve heart health. Many heart attacks could be avoided if people knew how to reduce their risk. The host, Doctor Warrick Bishop, talks about risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, age, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, depression and socioeconomic status that can increase the risk of heart disease and heart attacks. Other heart conditions like valve problems and electrical issues in the heart's atria or ventricles can also have genetic risk factors or arise due to infections, alcohol use and high blood pressure. Leading a healthy lifestyle with a good diet, exercise and managing stress can help reduce heart disease risk and enable people to live longer.
Takeaways:
- The main risk factors for heart disease are age, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, being overweight, lack of exercise, and depression.
- Keeping blood pressure and cholesterol under control can significantly reduce the risk of heart attack.
- Some people have genetic conditions like familial hypercholesterolemia that increase their risk of early heart disease.
- Valve problems can be congenital or caused by infection and lead to heart disease.
- Atrial fibrillation risk increases with age, alcohol use, high blood pressure, and obesity.
- Ventricular arrhythmias from damaged heart tissue can cause sudden cardiac death.
- Dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are genetic heart muscle conditions.
- Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and sleep can impact heart health.

This episode discusses ways to prevent heart attacks by reducing risk factors. Heart disease commonly refers to problems with arteries like atherosclerosis where cholesterol builds up in the arteries and can rupture causing a heart attack. Electrical issues, valve problems, heart muscle inflammation, infections, toxins and drugs can also cause heart disease. Amyloid protein can infiltrate the heart and disrupt its function.
Takeaways:
- The buildup of cholesterol in the arteries, known as atherosclerosis, can rupture suddenly and cause a heart attack when blood flow to the heart is blocked.
- A heart attack is medically known as a myocardial infarction, where heart muscle tissue dies from lack of blood flow.
- Narrowing of arteries from atherosclerotic plaque can starve the heart of oxygen, especially during exercise.
- Heart disease can also involve electrical problems, valve issues, heart muscle inflammation, infections, toxins, and infiltration of substances into the heart tissue.
- Alcohol, chemotherapy drugs, and amyloid protein deposits can damage the heart.
- The podcast aims to inform and educate people about heart disease risks and prevention strategies.
- The Healthy Heart Network provides information and resources to help people understand and reduce their risk of heart attack.

In this episode, Doctor Warrick Bishop, CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses heart disease and ways to prevent it. Heart disease is a leading cause of death in Tasmania, with approximately one in eight deaths attributed to it.
Doctor Bishop has partnered with St. Luke's Health to develop a pilot study to better screen for cardiovascular disease. The study will focus on identifying 100 people to undergo a virtual heart assessment and recommend a coronary artery calcium score CT scan based on their results. The calcium score shines up bright and white on CT scanning, making it a great way to identify plaque buildup in arteries. Doctor Bishop's website, Virtual Heart Check, allows people to proactively see if they're appropriate for scanning and purchase the scan online.
The current population-based risk assessment tool used to determine heart disease risk is not precise enough, and Doctor Bishop advocates for precision care by looking at individual hearts. Calcium scoring has been criticized for not being mainstreamed, but Doctor Bishop believes it's a quick, cheap, and effective way to identify people at risk.
Takeaways:
- Heart disease is a significant health issue in Australia, with heart attacks occurring every 20 minutes.
- The Healthy Heart Network, led by Doctor Warrick Bishop, aims to help people live healthier lives and prevent heart disease.
- St. Luke's Health has partnered with Doctor Bishop to develop a pilot study to better screen for cardiovascular disease in Tasmania.
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Tasmania, with approximately one in eight deaths attributed to it.
- The pilot study will focus on identifying 100 people to undergo a virtual heart assessment and recommend a coronary artery calcium score CT scan.
- The calcium score CT scan is a quick, cheap, and effective way to identify plaque buildup in arteries, which can lead to heart attacks.
- Population-based risk assessment tools are not always accurate in predicting an individual's risk of heart attack.
- Calcium scoring has not been universally adopted due to ethical concerns around randomized controlled trials.
- The Healthy Heart Network offers a free risk check to help individuals understand their risk of heart attack.
- Being proactive about heart health, through measures such as regular CT scans and risk assessments, can help prevent heart attacks and improve overall health outcomes.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
In this podcast, Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses two interesting studies. The first study is about a liver hormone called fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) that can be used to help severely drunk people regain their balance and alertness. The study was conducted on mice and showed that the hormone stimulated the brain to release norepinephrine, which increases alertness. The hormone is not a party drug and only has an impact on alcohol.
The second study was conducted in Australia and looked at the best conduits for coronary artery bypass grafting. The study found that the left internal mammary artery was the best conduit, followed by the radial artery.
Takeaways:
- A liver hormone called fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has shown promising results in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, weight loss, and insulin control.
- FGF21 has also been shown to help severely drunk mice regain their balance and alertness nearly twice as fast as those who didn't receive the shot.
- FGF21 stimulates the brain to release norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that increases alertness and attention, preparing the body for fight or flight.
- The hormone seems to only have an impact on alcohol and not other sedatives like diazepam or valium, barbiturates like phenobarbital, or ketamine.
- FGF21 is not a party drug and won't serve as a cure for hangovers or make someone ready to drive home.
- The left internal mammary artery is the best conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting, followed by the radial artery.
- The right internal mammary graft and vein grafts are also used for coronary artery bypass grafting.
- The Healthy Heart Network offers people the opportunity to understand their present state of heart health, their current level of risk, and the positive steps they can take to prevent heart attack and improve their risk of heart attack in the future.

Fortunately, many heart attacks are preventable. However, regular exercise and eating healthy are no guarantee you won’t succumb to this silent killer.
- 94% of Australians have at least One Risk Factor for heart disease.
- 59% of Australians have been Touched by heart disease.
- Yet only 3% of Australians have had a Full Heart-Health Assessment in the past 12 months.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I’m a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
In this episode, Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses osteoporosis and its treatment options with Doctor Cooley. They cover various drugs used to treat osteoporosis, including bisphosphonates, denosumab, and anabolic agents. The decision to treat someone with medication for osteoporosis is patient-centered and involves assessing the patient's risks, lifestyle, and medical history. The PBS limits drug choices, and eligibility for medication is based on factors such as age, T-score, and previous fractures. Compliance with medication is a concern, and missing injections can lead to a rapid loss in bone density and fractures. The anabolic agents build bone, and newer drugs are being developed to improve treatment options.
The conversation also covers the risks and side effects of different drugs, including dental complications and atypical fractures. Doctor Bishop emphasizes the importance of identifying osteoporosis early and taking steps to maintain good bone health. He invites listeners to join the Healthy Heart Network to learn more about heart health and reducing the risk of heart attack.
- Osteoporosis is a major problem, and lifestyle changes can help mitigate the risk.
- Medication for osteoporosis must be patient-centered, and the patient must be fully involved in the decision-making process.
- Bisphosphonates work by slowing the bone turnover rate, so bone is not lost as fast.
- Denosumab is an antibody that blocks a chemical in the bone that switches on the cells that eat up bone faster.
- Anabolic agents build bone and are used for patients who have had a fracture on other treatments and have a bone density score of less than minus three.
- Treatment for osteoporosis is limited to 18 months because of the risk of an atypical fracture.
- There are some studies looking at giving anabolic agents and denosumab at the same time to augment bone density gain.
- Lifestyle changes that promote good bone health also reflect good cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of cancer.
- Perimenopause is a good time to start thinking about exercise and other lifestyle changes to address bone density.
Australia, like the rest of the western world, has a heart problem.
Over 9 million people around the world die from heart disease every year.
Every 10 minutes, someone in Australia suffers a heart attack. And 21 lives are lost daily because of it.
The devastating fact in all of this is…
Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their health literacy and gain information to help them make the best decisions about their risk of heart attack, their cholesterol, blood pressure, risk of diabetes, weight loss and general health. Join me on my personal mission journey to prevent Heart Attack on a global scale.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
In this episode, Doctor Warrick Bishop continues his interview with Doctor Helen Cooley, a Hobart-based rheumatologist, about how to approach individuals with suspicion of osteoporosis. Doctor Cooley emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and exercise, as well as diet and supplements. She recommends getting calcium from the diet rather than supplements, and suggests taking vitamin D and K2 supplements if necessary. She also mentions the Garvan risk calculator, which can help determine a person's fracture risk. An interesting point she makes is that calcium supplements should be taken with meals to ensure optimal absorption.
- Osteoporosis is a condition that can lead to fractures and is more common in postmenopausal women.
- Risk calculators can be used to determine an individual's risk of fracture.
- Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can have a negative impact on bone density.
- Weight-bearing exercise is important for maintaining bone density.
- Calcium should be obtained from the diet rather than supplements.
- Vitamin D is important for optimal absorption of calcium and phosphate.
- Vitamin K2 may have a role in calcium metabolism, but its benefits in osteoporosis are uncertain.
- Leafy green vegetables are a good source of vitamin K.
- Coronary artery disease kills one in four people, so it is important to evaluate risk.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
In this episode, Doctor Warrick Bishop and Doctor Helen Cooley, a rheumatologist, discuss osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become thin and fragile, making them more prone to breaking. Age is the main factor in developing osteoporosis, but other factors such as genetics, diet, and lifestyle can also contribute. It is estimated that over a million Australians have osteoporosis, and 60% of people over 50 have either osteoporosis or osteopenia. Bone density scans are available at 70 years of age and are covered by Medicare. It is interesting to note that if someone has a fracture and is in the osteopenic range, it is considered to be osteoporosis.
- Age is the main risk factor for developing osteoporosis, but other factors such as diet, genetics, and certain medical conditions can also increase the risk.
- A DEXA scan is used to measure bone density and compare it to a normal bone density when you were in your 20s and 30s.
- It is estimated that over a million Australians have osteoporosis and if you are 50 or over, it is estimated that about 60% of the population has osteoporosis or osteopenia.
- A bone density scan at 70 is recommended for screening, but if you have any of the risk factors listed, you should be screened earlier.
- There is a Medicare rebate for the bone density scan at 70.
- Family history of osteoporosis is a risk factor and can trigger earlier screening.
- Hip fractures in older people have a 50% chance of never returning home and a 30% chance of death within a year.
- The Healthy Heart Network offers a lifetime membership for $5 which provides access to resources and information about heart health and risk of heart attack.
- Positive steps can be taken to improve your risk of heart attack and osteoporosis.

In this podcast, Doctor Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses the importance of understanding blood pressure for better health.
He explains that blood pressure is a silent killer that can fly under the radar, and that it is a spectrum from low to high, with a perfect level that is different for each individual. He notes that stress, genetics, and aging can all contribute to high blood pressure.
Losing weight can help reduce blood pressure, with one kilogram of weight loss resulting in a one millimeter mercury reduction in blood pressure.
The website www.virtualheartcheck.com.au can be used to check your risk and learn more about how to be even more precise in reducing your risk. The podcast ends with a reminder of the importance of maintaining healthy blood pressure levels to prevent heart disease.
- Blood pressure is a spectrum, and there is a perfect level for each individual.
- Elevated blood pressure causes wear and tear on arteries, leading to health problems.
- Stress can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure.
- Genetics can play a role in high blood pressure.
- As we age, our arteries get stiffer, leading to higher blood pressure.
- Losing weight can help reduce blood pressure.
- One kilogram of weight loss equals one millimeter of mercury reduction in blood pressure.
- Alcohol consumption can increase blood pressure.
- Virtualheartcheck.com.au can help individuals assess their risk for heart disease.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.
In this podcast, Doctor Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses the importance of blood pressure and its impact on overall health.
Blood pressure is the measured pressure within the vascular system with each beat of the heart and each relaxation of the heart. It is critical to keep blood pressure low to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, cardiac failure, renal impairment, and even dementia.
Blood pressure is a range, and for any individual, there is a low as possible, and once they get below that, they get symptoms of low blood pressure. It is essential to get blood pressure checked regularly and talk to a GP about wearing a monitor for 24 hours to get clear information.
Lifestyle changes such as weight loss and exercise can help reduce blood pressure, and there are also medications available. A 5mmHg reduction in blood pressure can give a 10% reduction in major cardiovascular events.
Finally, Dr. Bishop recommends visiting the website www.virtualheartcheck.com.au to evaluate the risk of coronary artery disease.
- Heart disease is a major problem in Australia, with someone suffering a heart attack every 20 minutes.
- Blood pressure is the measured pressure within the vascular system with each beat of the heart and each relaxation of the heart.
- Blood pressure is important because it represents the wear and tear on our entire vasculature, and high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, cardiac failure, renal impairment, and even dementia.
- Low blood pressure is generally better than high blood pressure, but there is no one-size-fits-all number for what is considered low blood pressure.
- Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day, and it's important to get it checked regularly and wear a monitor for 24 hours if there are any concerns.
- Smartwatches and other wearable devices are not currently reliable for measuring blood pressure, but there may be medical-grade devices in the future.
- Panic attacks and stress can put a strain on the heart and increase blood pressure, so it's important to manage stress properly.
- Lifestyle changes, such as losing weight and exercising, can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
- Dropping one kilogram of body weight can drop systolic blood pressure by one millimeter of mercury.
- Coronary artery disease kills one in four people, and evaluating the risk and taking preventative measures is crucial for maintaining heart health.

Today, I'd like to share with you a patient experience, because it might be a question that you've had yourself. Just today, I was asked by a patient, "if my arteries look okay on C.T. imaging if I've got a zero calcium score, can I stop my cholesterol tablets?"
Today, I'd like to share with you a case, a story about a man I saw this last week. This gentleman was in his early 60s. He's a very fit, slim, and active man who has looked after himself over the years. He does exercise regularly, and he is keen to make sure that he has the best heart health.
Today, I want to talk a little bit about what happens if the valves of the heart stop working. Well, before I cover that in too much detail, what I'd like to do is quickly remind us of how the circulation works.
Hi, my name's Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I'd like to welcome you to my podcast channel. Today I'd like to discuss energy drinks. We all know they're incredibly common. We see them advertised. We see them in shops and we see not only sportspeople but young adults and teenagers consuming these beverages regularly. Well, what are they? What sort of things do they contain? What benefits might they offer? What risks might they carry? And what's a little bit of the history to these drinks and their arrival on the global market?

People are often asking about supplements - specifically about Burgemont, and its effectiveness in lowering cholesterol. So, I thought I'd use that as a springboard to talk about supplements in general.
Today, I'm going to talk a little bit about cholesterol tests. So, what do we test when we're looking at a lipid or a cholesterol test?

Hi, my name's Dr. Warrick Bishop, and I'd like to welcome you to my consulting room. Today I'd like to speak with you a little bit about stents. Stents are the scaffold that go into arteries to open up those arteries. They're deployed by being laid over a balloon. The whole device; the stent and the balloon are passed into that narrowing.
Today I'd like to speak with you with something that comes up in my consultations on a regular basis and that is the patients ask me: Does stress cause heart attacks? It's a pretty reasonable question. The broad answer is they probably do.
oday I'd like to share with you some thoughts around chest pain. It's often the case that I get asked by patients what sort of chest pain should I worry about. This is actually a little bit of a difficult question. And it is worth talking about and thinking about. There are some really obvious things that are worth considering.
Today I'd like to speak a little bit about how we keep you in normal rhythm if you've had atrial fibrillation. Normally we have to make that decision to try and keep a normal rhythm based on a couple of things.
Today I'd like to cover a few cardiovascular risk facts that you may find interesting. Fact #1 is related to alcohol. Everyone's ears prick up when you mention alcohol and cardiovascular risk. Well the question is, does abstinence improve your risk of avoiding a heart attack?
Today I'd like to share a couple of blood pressure points with you. A few little hints and tips. So, a couple of questions and let's see how it goes.
Today I'd like to give you a little bit of an update on the Lipid Guidelines from 2013 American Cardiology and the American Heart Association. I guess the thing that I want to try and convey is from those guidelines, who do we really think benefits from cholesterol lowering?
Today I'd like to talk about a topic that's a little bit sensitive at times. Today I'd look like to talk about bringing children to your consultation.
So, talking about parents with their children can be a bit tricky, as you might imagine. And they can be a subject that needs to be dealt with with care and understanding.
Today, I'd like to share with you a personal experience, which is in regard to a patient I've looked after now for many years. Today, unfortunately, Tom passed away.
Today, I'd like to speak with you a little bit about a concept that we call tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. That's a mouthful, so let me break it down for you. "Tachy" means fast. "Tachycardia", "cardia" relates to heart, so fast heart. Induced means the same whether it's referring to the medical term or common vernacular. "Cardia", referring to the heart, and myopathy referring to a problem with the muscle. So, fast heart-induced muscle problem, or Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
Today, I'd like to share with you one of the questions that I get asked regularly on my patients who have atrial fibrillation. And the question is: "Do I need a pacemaker?" It's a common question, and the general answer is no. And the reason is this: A Pacemaker is a device to provide an electrical stimulation for the heart when the heart is not producing enough electrical stimulation of its own. So we look at pacemakers as a solution to the heart beating to slow.
I'd like to talk a little bit today about the anticoagulants we use in atrial fibrillation and I'd like to talk about something just a little bit different in terms of how we often think about them. The blood thinners we use; the warfarin, and the normal oral anticoagulants, or non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants; the NOACs, we use to thin the blood.
Hi, my name is Dr. Warrick Bishop and I'd like to welcome you to my consulting room. I'd like to speak with you today about two cases I've had in the last couple of weeks who've really reminded me of the difficulty we sometimes have in predicting who's going to have a heart attack. Both these cases were emergency workers. Both of these cases were men. The first man was just over 50 years of age. He was fit and he was well. In fact, if you walk past him on the street you would pick him as someone who looked after himself and exercises regularly which he did.
