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.
Doctor Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses tips for preventing osteoporosis and maintaining strong bones as people age. The key points include:
1) getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 to provide the building blocks for bone health;
2) incorporating resistance training to stimulate bone growth;
3) limiting processed foods and reducing alcohol consumption;
4) ensuring adequate protein intake to support muscle and bone development; and
5) quitting smoking, which can be detrimental to bone health. Dr. Bishop emphasizes the importance of taking a holistic approach to bone and muscle strength as people get older in order to maximize their health span.
Takeaways:
- Osteoporosis is a major health issue, with heart disease being a leading cause of death in Australia.
- Axial bone loading, such as through the OsteoStrong program, can help strengthen bones and muscles.
- Key nutrients for bone health include calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2.
- Resistance training/weight training is crucial for maintaining bone and muscle strength as we age.
- Limiting processed foods and reducing alcohol consumption can benefit bone health.
- Adequate protein intake, around 2g per kg of body weight per day, is important for building and maintaining muscle and bone.
- Smoking is detrimental to bone health, in addition to its many other negative health impacts.
- Doctor Bishop encourages listeners to join the Healthy Heart Network to better understand their heart health and risk factors.

Almost every one of those cases could have been prevented.
