Hi {contactfield=firstname}
From My Desk...
Each week, I’ll be sharing a little about what’s happening in my world—whether it’s in my role as a cardiologist, the work I’m doing with the Healthy Heart Network, or even personal updates from my family and life. My goal is to give you a closer look at what’s been keeping me busy, while also sharing tips and insights to help you on your own heart health journey. I hope you enjoy these updates and find them helpful as you strive to live well and stay healthy.
Hello & Welcome!
I hope you’ve had a great week—there’s plenty happening here, both on the health front and at home, so let’s dive in.
🧠 Cholesterol Book – Nearing the Finish Line
We’re now in the final stages of editing and polishing the Cholesterol book, and it’s shaping up beautifully. I’m really proud of the content and can’t wait to share it with you. This has been a deep dive into not only the science but the confusion and controversies around cholesterol—and how to make sense of it all.
🌍 World Congress of Lipidology – Planning Underway
This week, I also joined a committee meeting for the upcoming World Congress of Lipidology. It’s always inspiring to be part of shaping the conversation at this level, and it reinforces how important our work is in bridging cutting-edge science and everyday health.
🎙️ Podcast Update – Barrie Elvish & AUSactive
It was a pleasure to speak with Barrie Elvish, CEO of AUSactive—Australia’s peak body for the health and fitness industry. Barrie brings a strong background in education and public health, and we talked about how movement, community, and leadership can shift the health dial across the country.
📢 Keep an eye out for this episode—it’s a powerful one!
🏡 Home Life – BBQs & Tip Runs
Chelle and I are settling nicely into our new home. I finally put together the BBQ today (there’s something satisfying about that!), and I’m off to the tip this afternoon to clear out the leftover boxes and bits. We are also off to a 100th Birthday party of one of my patients, what a privilage to have a hand in this amazing achievement.
🎣 Family Update
Max is still in Tonga and continues to thrive—he entered a fishing competition this week and won the prize for the largest fish, a massive Giant Trevally! His team also placed second overall and took home the lion’s share of the prize money.
Ella has been a bit under the weather and missed some work, but she’s powering through her uni commitments and staying on top of things. We’re proud of both of them.
🧬 Younger Longer Program – Testing Begins
Exciting news: we’re making real progress on the Younger Longer program with Guy Leech. Early testing is now underway, and we’re starting to bring together the data and the tools that will form the backbone of this longevity-focused offering.
