Dr Walker makes the specialist field of preventative cardiology accessible; he does this through his use of insightful explanations and well-crafted analogies from his 45 years of practice.
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and its active form ubiquinol, take centre stage in this discussion, including Dr Ross Walker’s use of ubiquinol in cardiovascular disease (CVD), how ubiquinol can be used to reduce the side effects associated with statins, and the research showing CoQ10/ubiquinol to decrease all-cause mortality.
Dr Walker talks much more than just ubiquinol, including the importance of measuring calcium coronary artery score in assessing cardiovascular risk, his well-tested protocol for lipoprotein (a), diabobesity and the impact of insulin resistance, and his not to be missed five keys of being healthy.
There are practice pearls a plenty: when statins are necessary, the importance of lifestyle and diet interventions for heart health, and the real pandemic of our time; diabobesity.

In a world complicated by complex and conflicting diets, Dr Veronique Chachay shares the differences between intermittent fasting, calorie restricted and time restricted eating and dispels the confusion around the health benefits of these protocols.
Dr Veronique Chachay, Lecturer and Research Academic, shares the history and metabolic benefits of intermittent fasting, calorie restriction and time restricted eating and the challenges associated with studying these protocols with our ambassador, Dr Michelle Woolhouse in our latest podcast replay.
Veronique elaborates on the various forms of intermittent fasting and their role in both metabolism and weight management and how eating within a certain time of day may support the function of specific organs based on chrononutrition.
Intermittent fasting has been associated with a reduction in insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) production, suggesting a benefit for healthy ageing and a reduction in insulin resistance and the production of ketone bodies associated with the use of stored fats for energy. Michelle and Veronique cover these topics in addition to the potential for personalised nutrition and the adoption of intermittent fasting to suit a persons genotype.
