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. read less

EP369: More on PEMF With Candice
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. Doctor Warrick Bishop hosts the Healthy Heart Network podcast, featuring guest Candice Groves to discuss pulse electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy. This therapy uses frequencies and magnetic fields to enhance cellular function, improve healing, and alleviate various health issues, including sleep and anxiety. Candice highlights significant research showing that PEMF therapy can reduce fracture healing time by nearly 50%, a benefit not widely recognized due to a lack of financial incentives for large pharmaceutical companies. She emphasizes that while PEMF therapy is generally safe, it should not be used by individuals with electrical implants like pacemakers or during pregnancy. The conversation also touches on infrared therapy, which aids in mitochondrial function and reduces inflammation. Candice mentions that her company, Best Cellf, offers products combining both PEMF and red light therapy, providing accessible options for Australians. She shares a success story of a customer with a spinal injury who experienced improved mobility and reduced pain after using their PEMF mat. The podcast concludes with a special offer for listeners to receive a discount on Best Self products. Overall, the discussion promotes the potential of holistic therapies to improve health and well-being.

EP362: Patient Lived Experience Atrial Fibrillation and More With Jim Kaveney Part 2
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 episode, Warrick Bishop interviews Jim Kaveney, a 50-year-old atrial fibrillation (AFib) survivor who was diagnosed at 38. Jim shares his journey through multiple medical procedures, including medications and pacemaker implantation, while also managing the pressures of starting a business and raising two young children. He emphasizes the emotional challenges he faced, particularly concerns about his family's future. Jim discusses his book, "Unlimited Heart: How to Transform Your Pain into Purpose," which details his experiences and the importance of aligning the heart and mind to overcome challenges. He encourages listeners to ask their cardiology teams about the causes of AFib, lifestyle changes to prevent it, and available treatment options. Additionally, he highlights the significance of being aware of AFib warning signs and the role of wearable devices in monitoring heart health. Jim's initiative, Unlimited Health, aims to provide support and education for those living with AFib, focusing on lifestyle modifications and creating a community for accountability. He stresses the importance of small, manageable steps towards change and the need for support systems. The episode concludes with Jim's commitment to helping others through his lived experiences and resources.

EP359: Defining Family History and High Cholesterol
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, Dr. Warrick Bishop discusses the importance of understanding family history and cholesterol levels in assessing cardiovascular disease risk. He emphasizes that a significant family history involves first-degree relatives who experienced cardiac events at a young age—males under 55 and females under 60—without other major risk factors. Dr. Bishop clarifies that having a distant relative with a cardiovascular event at an older age does not necessarily increase one's risk. He outlines cholesterol categories, indicating that for those with a previous cardiac event, an LDL cholesterol level above 1.4 millimoles per liter is considered high. For primary prevention, individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia may have total cholesterol levels exceeding 7.8 and LDL levels over 4.9. He highlights the continuum of cholesterol levels and the need for proactive treatment for individuals with very high cholesterol and a family history of heart disease. Dr. Bishop uses an analogy of parking a car by the sea to explain how LDL cholesterol can lead to plaque formation over time. He encourages listeners to engage with the podcast by asking questions and suggesting future topics. Overall, the podcast aims to enhance medical literacy regarding cardiovascular risks and cholesterol management.

EP356: Impact of Statins on Ubiquinone or Coenzyme Q 10
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, Warrick Bishop discusses the biochemical processes involved in statin therapy, particularly how it affects cholesterol production. He explains the conversion pathway from acetyl CoA to HMG CoA, mevalonic acid, and ultimately cholesterol. The conversation highlights the role of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone), which is essential for energy formation in cells and may be linked to muscle-related side effects from statins. A recent study from 2022 investigated the relationship between coenzyme Q10 levels and statin-related muscle symptoms but found no significant correlation or benefit from supplementation. Despite this, Bishop suggests that individual patients might still benefit from trying coenzyme Q10. He also introduces benberdomic acid, a new agent that works upstream of the statin pathway and may provide an alternative for those experiencing muscle aches due to statin use. The podcast encourages listeners to consider their experiences with these treatments and to reach out with feedback or suggestions for future topics. Bishop concludes with a positive message about living well.
