EP350: Talking Heart and Aging With Dr Luong Part 1

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 interviews Dr. Rebecca Luong, an accredited practicing dietitian with a special interest in sports and cardiometabolic health. Dr. Luong discusses her background and how she became interested in dietetics, combining her love of food with a desire to help people improve their health. The conversation focuses on cardiometabolic health, including the importance of diet in managing conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Dr. Luong emphasizes the value of analyzing dietary patterns rather than just individual nutrients, and she highlights healthy dietary approaches like the Mediterranean, DASH, and Nordic diets. The discussion covers the role of carbohydrates, glycemic index, and limiting processed foods high in fat, salt and sugar. Dr. Bishop and Dr. Long agree they will continue the conversation in a future episode to discuss protein, fat, and the relationship between diet and frailty.
