EP367: Keto and Other Tricky Cardiovascular Situations

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. The podcast discusses various health topics, particularly focusing on keto diets and cholesterol management. Dr. Bishop encourages listeners to subscribe, share, and suggest topics or potential interviewees. A keto diet is defined as a very low carbohydrate diet that promotes burning ketones, often leading to weight loss and improved insulin control. However, the host cautions about the consumption of saturated fats, which can raise LDL cholesterol levels, posing a potential cardiovascular risk despite other health benefits. Research is ongoing to understand the effects of ketogenic diets on arterial plaque progression.
