  • Summary

  • 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. This podcast discusses common beliefs and skepticism around cholesterol and statin medications. The host, Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, addresses misconceptions such as cholesterol not being harmful, heart disease not being caused by high cholesterol, and saturated fats not being harmful. He explains that while cholesterol levels alone don't directly predict plaque buildup, lowering cholesterol is crucial for those at high risk of heart disease. Dr. Bishop also responds to claims that the cholesterol hypothesis is incorrect, that statin side effects are underreported, and that statins deplete vital nutrients. He emphasizes that while lifestyle changes are important, medication is often necessary for those at high risk. Overall, the podcast provides a balanced perspective on the complex relationship between cholesterol, heart disease, and statin medications.
