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 importance of preventing heart attacks and improving general health on a global scale. He highlights the alarming statistics of heart attacks in Australia, with one occurring almost every 10 minutes and over 20 people dying from it daily.
Doctor Bishop also talks about sepsis, a medical situation caused by infections in the blood, which affects 1.7 million people annually in the United States, with 350,000 deaths. Historically, blood cultures have been used to identify sepsis, but this process can take several days.
However, a new technology has been developed that can identify specific bacteria in just two and a half hours using a porous blood sample and DNA amplification and matching analysis. Although this technology has limitations, it has the potential to be a game changer and save lives.
Doctor Bishop encourages listeners to join the Healthy Heart Network, which provides lifetime access to information about heart health and risk reduction strategies for a small fee.

- Dr. Warwick Bishop is a cardiologist, author, keynote speaker, and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, which aims to help people live as well as possible for as long as possible.
- Infections in the blood, or sepsis, are a significant medical problem that can affect 1.7 million people per year in the United States, with 350,000 deaths.
- Historically, blood cultures have been used to identify sepsis, which involves waiting 24-48 hours for bacteria to grow in the blood culture bottles.
- A new technology has been developed that can identify specific bacteria in a patient's blood in just two and a half hours, using a process that involves drying out a sample of whole blood and running it through a DNA amplification and matching analysis process.
- This new technology has demonstrated efficacy with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and candida albicans.
- The new technology can provide information about the likely medications that would be beneficial for therapy within a two and a half hour period.
- Although blood cultures may still be used to match up an organism with the medication that it responds to, the new technology will give us good information and great insight into what bug is there and what initial therapies are indicated.
- The Healthy Heart Network offers a membership program called the Healthy Heart Network, which provides lifetime access to information about heart health and risk reduction strategies for a one-time fee of $5.
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.
