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 podcast, Doctor Warrick Bishop discusses strategies to prevent heart attacks and improve overall health. Heart disease is a major issue in Australia, with over 20 people dying from it daily.
The podcast aims to educate listeners on how to reduce their risk of heart disease through lifestyle changes such as managing blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol.
Doctor Bishop also discusses the benefits of regular physical exercise, including weightlifting and aerobic exercise, particularly for older adults. A study found that individuals who did both weightlifting and aerobic exercise had a 40% lower risk of all-cause mortality. However, the study did not provide insight into the type of weightlifting performed.
Doctor Bishop emphasizes the importance of strength and fitness in maintaining independence and preventing frailty. He encourages listeners to prioritize regular exercise and visit the website virtualheartcheck.com.au for more information on evaluating their risk of heart disease.
