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 Warrick Bishop discusses the benefits of cold exposure on the body.
Cold exposure has been shown to activate brown fat, which is more metabolically active and can burn calories and improve insulin resistance. Cold water immersion can also improve overall cardiovascular health, reduce blood pressure, and ease pain. Experienced and inexperienced swimmers can both benefit from cold water immersion.
However, it is important to gradually ease into cold exposure and check with a doctor first. Starting with cold water exposure during a shower can be a good way to ease into it.
The Healthy Heart Network offers resources to help people understand their present state of heart health and take positive steps to improve their risk of heart attack in the future. Dr. Bishop encourages people to live as well as possible for as long as possible.
- Heart attacks are a significant problem in Australia, with over 20 people dying from a heart attack every day.
- Cold exposure has been practiced for centuries and has been shown to have potential health benefits.
- Cold exposure can activate brown fat, which is more metabolically active and can burn calories and improve insulin resistance.
- Cold water immersion can improve overall cardiovascular health, reduce blood pressure, and improve insulin sensitivity.
- Cold water immersion can trigger a shock response that stresses the cardiovascular system and elevates heart rate, adding a component of exercise.
- Cold water immersion can reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed up recovery, which is why many top sportsmen use ice baths after games.
- Cold water immersion can release feel-good chemicals in the brain, leading to a sense of positivity and joyfulness.
- Gradual exposure to cold water, such as gradually turning off the hot water in the shower, is recommended to ease into cold exposure.
- Wearing cold wet socks can help improve blood and nutrient circulation within the legs.
- Joining the Healthy Heart Network can help people understand their present state of heart health, their current level of risk, and the positive steps they can take to improve their risk of heart attack in the future.
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.
