  • Summary

  • 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. In this podcast episode, Warrick Bishop interviews Jim Kaveney, a 50-year-old atrial fibrillation (AFib) survivor who was diagnosed at 38. Jim shares his journey through multiple medical procedures, including medications and pacemaker implantation, while also managing the pressures of starting a business and raising two young children. He emphasizes the emotional challenges he faced, particularly concerns about his family's future. Jim discusses his book, "Unlimited Heart: How to Transform Your Pain into Purpose," which details his experiences and the importance of aligning the heart and mind to overcome challenges. He encourages listeners to ask their cardiology teams about the causes of AFib, lifestyle changes to prevent it, and available treatment options. Additionally, he highlights the significance of being aware of AFib warning signs and the role of wearable devices in monitoring heart health. Jim's initiative, Unlimited Health, aims to provide support and education for those living with AFib, focusing on lifestyle modifications and creating a community for accountability. He stresses the importance of small, manageable steps towards change and the need for support systems. The episode concludes with Jim's commitment to helping others through his lived experiences and resources.
