EP332: The Importance of Exercise With Dr Jason Kaplan

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.

EP333: Two Case Studies For Your Interest

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.
