Welcome to Doctor Warrick's podcast channel. Warrick is a practicing cardiologist and author with a desire to help people live as well as possible for as long as possible. Warrick believes in educating and supporting patients to get the best health care. Discover and understand the latest approaches and technology in heart care and how this might apply to you or someone you love. >> HEALTHY HEART MEMBERSHIP: SEE HERE https://healthyheartnetwork.com/free << 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.

EP416: Highlights of WCCL June 2025
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, shares insights from the 4th World Congress of Clinical Lipidology. He highlights that LDL cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol, is primarily utilized only by the liver, not for other bodily functions like hormone production or energy. Contrary to some concerns, lowering LDL cholesterol does not appear to increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke and may even reduce all-cause mortality and dementia.

EP415: Inflammation—What, How, Why?
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, discusses the importance of understanding inflammation for overall health. He explains that while acute inflammation is a beneficial response to injury, chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to serious health issues like heart disease, Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Causes of chronic inflammation include modern lifestyle factors such as highly processed foods, visceral fat (fat surrounding organs), sedentary behavior, poor sleep, stress, and environmental toxins. Gingivitis is also mentioned as a common chronic infection that can contribute to inflammation. Detecting inflammation can be done through specific blood tests like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), though general markers like high triglycerides, low HDL, insulin resistance, and increased waist circumference can also be indicators.

EP414: Modern (Metabolic) Syndrome
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 author, discusses reversing metabolic syndrome, which he also calls the "modern syndrome." He explains that metabolic syndrome is not a disease itself but a warning sign of increased risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, and dementia. The syndrome is characterized by having at least three of five criteria: elevated waist circumference, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated fasting blood sugar. The root cause is often insulin resistance, where the body's cells stop responding properly to insulin, a hormone responsible for energy storage. This resistance is exacerbated by modern diets high in carbohydrates and a sedentary lifestyle. Other contributing factors include sleep deprivation, chronic stress, and genetic predisposition.

The gut microbiome impacts overall health by releasing chemicals that can affect bodily functions, even reaching the brain to influence appetite.

EP404: What is Glycocalyx?
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.

In one episode, Dr. Bishop discusses the glycocalyx, a protective lining within the endothelium that covers the cells lining the arteries. This thin, slippery layer acts as a barrier, protecting endothelial cells from direct exposure to blood contents. Damage to the glycocalyx, often caused by turbulent blood flow at branch points, can lead to wear and tear on endothelial cells, potentially contributing to the development of plaque in arteries. While there are no established treatments for the glycocalyx, maintaining low blood pressure and considering imaging for early detection are recommended.
