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, a cardiologist, discusses the importance of understanding blood pressure for better health.
He explains that blood pressure is a silent killer that can fly under the radar, and that it is a spectrum from low to high, with a perfect level that is different for each individual. He notes that stress, genetics, and aging can all contribute to high blood pressure.
Losing weight can help reduce blood pressure, with one kilogram of weight loss resulting in a one millimeter mercury reduction in blood pressure.
The website www.virtualheartcheck.com.au can be used to check your risk and learn more about how to be even more precise in reducing your risk. The podcast ends with a reminder of the importance of maintaining healthy blood pressure levels to prevent heart disease.
