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. Read more

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.

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. Read more
