Dr. Khan, an expert in the field, explains that mainstream medicine is often reactive, treating illness after it occurs, whereas anti-aging medicine focuses on prevention and root causes. Dr. Khueng shares her personal journey into anti-aging after experiencing burnout and a Graves' disease diagnosis, which led her to explore alternative approaches to healing. She emphasizes that aging doesn't have to mean declining health and that proactive optimization is key.

    EP416: Highlights of WCCL June 2025
    Dec 13 2025
    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, shares insights from the 4th World Congress of Clinical Lipidology. He highlights that LDL cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol, is primarily utilized only by the liver, not for other bodily functions like hormone production or energy. Contrary to some concerns, lowering LDL cholesterol does not appear to increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke and may even reduce all-cause mortality and dementia.

    EP415: Inflammation—What, How, Why?
    Dec 6 2025
    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, discusses the importance of understanding inflammation for overall health. He explains that while acute inflammation is a beneficial response to injury, chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to serious health issues like heart disease, Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Causes of chronic inflammation include modern lifestyle factors such as highly processed foods, visceral fat (fat surrounding organs), sedentary behavior, poor sleep, stress, and environmental toxins. Gingivitis is also mentioned as a common chronic infection that can contribute to inflammation. Detecting inflammation can be done through specific blood tests like high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), though general markers like high triglycerides, low HDL, insulin resistance, and increased waist circumference can also be indicators.

    EP414: Modern (Metabolic) Syndrome
    Nov 29 2025
    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 author, discusses reversing metabolic syndrome, which he also calls the "modern syndrome." He explains that metabolic syndrome is not a disease itself but a warning sign of increased risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, and dementia. The syndrome is characterized by having at least three of five criteria: elevated waist circumference, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated fasting blood sugar. The root cause is often insulin resistance, where the body's cells stop responding properly to insulin, a hormone responsible for energy storage. This resistance is exacerbated by modern diets high in carbohydrates and a sedentary lifestyle. Other contributing factors include sleep deprivation, chronic stress, and genetic predisposition.

I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients.

He emphasizes that proactive care, starting as early as possible, is crucial for maintaining health and independence as we age. For brain health, he highlights the importance of vascular health, managing conditions like high blood pressure and insulin resistance, getting adequate sleep for waste removal, regular exercise, and a Mediterranean-style diet with antioxidants and omega-3s. Regarding bone health, Dr. Bishop stresses the need to check bone mineral density, as conditions like celiac disease or mastocytosis can impact it. He recommends load-bearing exercise, sufficient Vitamin D, K2, magnesium, protein, and collagen to strengthen bones.

Patients with psoriasis have an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes due to elevated cardiovascular risk factors and inflammation.
