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 and our new Healthy Life 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 and welcome,
Some weeks feel full — not rushed, not chaotic — just deeply satisfying.
This past week has been one of those.
A couple of busy days in clinic, but in a very different way.
Less pressure, fewer hours — and more opportunity to really connect with patients.
And that’s where the value is.
Not just getting through the work — but being present for it.
Family & Personal Highlights
It’s been a week of steady connection.
Time in clinic, time in the centre, and time staying connected with family — all of which matter.
There’s something about stepping back slightly from the volume of work that allows you to appreciate the moments more.
And that’s been a real highlight this week.
Professional & Business Updates
OsteoStrong Hobart
Downstairs continues to build beautifully.
Sean has stepped up in a meaningful way as assistant manager — particularly while we’ve had a brief time in Melbourne — and it’s been great to see him take ownership in that role.
At the same time:
• Miranda at the front desk has been fantastic
• Bec, Sarah, Kirsten and Paul continue to deliver exceptional support — thank you all
• And most importantly — our members are benefiting
That’s what it’s all about.
We’re also looking forward to catching up with Perry (master franchisor for Asia Pacific) while in Melbourne — an important opportunity to explore how we can continue to deliver OsteoStrong effectively for the Hobart community.
Longevity Labs
Upstairs is starting to gather real momentum.
We’re seeing:
• Increased enquiries
• More bookings
• A strong knock-on effect from the Open Day
Ella has been doing fantastic work alongside Sean and Sarah capturing content — and that’s starting to show.
We’re also beginning to shape something a little different…
👉 Dark Mofo IV Menu
Something interesting.
Something a little edgy.
Very much in keeping with the spirit of Dark Mofo.

Breathwork & What’s Emerging
Jen has been fantastic in gaining traction with breathwork — and we’re really looking forward to continuing to support her within Longevity Labs.
At the same time, I’ve been doing some thinking around:
👉 What does “best health support” really look like?
And that’s opened up an idea I’d genuinely value your input on.
👉 Please drop me a note with your thoughts — I’d really appreciate it.
A Thought — Post-Cancer Support Program
Almost like secondary prevention in heart disease — but applied to cancer.
I’m exploring whether we could build a structured offering for people post:
• Cancer surgery
• Chemotherapy
• Radiotherapy
With a focus on:
👉 recovery
👉 resilience
👉 secondary prevention
Potential components:
• Clinically guided nutrition — supporting tissue recovery
• Breathwork & meditation — supporting emotional resilience
• Strength training (OsteoStrong) — bone and muscle reconditioning
• VO₂ max testing & optimisation — improving functional capacity
• Targeted IV nutrient support (Vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, B12)
• Red light therapy
• Additional supportive therapies as the research flags
The aim:
👉 Not just recovery — but optimisation
👉 Reducing risk and aiming to prevent recurrence
I’d really value your thoughts on this...... please drop me an email

And the story behind it is remarkable.
It actually starts with dolphins.

Quiz Corner
Last Week’s Question
Name three medications that can impact bone health.
Answer:
Several medications can negatively affect bone density and increase fracture risk. Common examples include:
• Corticosteroids (e.g. prednisone)
• Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
• Certain hormone therapies (e.g. aromatase inhibitors)
• Some anticonvulsants
This Week’s Question
What is thalassemia — how is it diagnosed, and why can it be a problem?
Final Reflection
This week has been a good reminder:
There’s a difference between working hard…
and working well.
Fewer hours.
More presence.
Better connection.
Across clinic, business, and family — that shift makes all the difference.
And as things continue to build…
It’s a nice place to be.
Warm regards,
