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 Warwick Bishop discusses the importance of reducing the risk of heart disease and improving general health literacy. He highlights the prevalence of heart disease in Australia and the world, with over 20 people dying from heart disease every day in Australia alone.

Doctor Bishop then shifts the focus to inflammatory bowel disease, specifically the link between sugar consumption and Crohn's disease. He cites a study that found increased consumption of sugary beverages doubled the chance of developing Crohn's disease. The researchers speculated that sugar alters gut microbiome, which affects the gut lining and permeability, leading to inflammation.

Doctor Bishop emphasizes the importance of looking after gut microbiome with fiber, healthy foods, and fermented foods. He also recommends a healthy Mediterranean diet and lifestyle to reduce the risk of heart disease and other health issues.

Dr. Bishop encourages listeners to subscribe to his podcast and videocast station and to visit www.virtualheartcheck.com.au for more information on risk and prevention.

  • Increased sweet beverage consumption doubles the chance of developing Crohn's disease.

  • The podcast aims to help people live as well as possible for as long as possible.

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.
