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.
Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, hosts a podcast focused on heart health and overall well-being. He discusses the prevalence of heart disease in Australia, emphasizing the importance of understanding factors like blood pressure, weight, and cholesterol. Bishop shares a personal experience of enjoying a sauna on a boat, leading into a detailed exploration of the health benefits of regular sauna use.
These benefits include reduced risk of heart attack and stroke, lower blood pressure, improved insulin sensitivity, enhanced muscle recovery, better brain health, increased production of heat shock proteins, reduced chronic inflammation, improved sleep quality, potential detoxification, and stress reduction.
He recommends incorporating sauna sessions into a healthy lifestyle, advising four to seven sessions per week for 15 to 20 minutes at temperatures between 70 to 90 degrees Celsius. Bishop also encourages listeners to check their heart attack risk at virtualheartcheck.com.au and emphasizes the importance of exercise, proper diet, and medical care alongside sauna use.
