I was delighted to welcome on this week, Dr Zarrin Shaikh a Consultant Cardiologist. Zarrin and I share the same ethos, and she is also a passionate advocate for optimising wellbeing to prevent disease and live happier, healthier lives.⁠ ⁠ Zarrin qualified from the University of Nottingham in 2001 and has been working on the frontline of the NHS since then. In 2008 the British Heart Foundation awarded her a grant to undertake a PhD researching sleep, cardiac physiology and lung disease. Her PhD sparked an ongoing interest in the role of sleep and heart health. In 2017 she qualified as a consultant and now works between the community and St Peters Hospital in Chertsey.⁠ ⁠ Throughout her years as a doctor, she has seen patients getting younger and sicker. Cardiac disease is still the world’s leading cause of death and in the UK kills more women per year than breast cancer. This motivated her to develop the Fresh Heart Project, a platform for positive, accurate health messages to address the root causes of heart disease. She shares evidence-based tools to refocus your energy and optimise your health without judgement and with compassion.⁠ ⁠ Find her at http://www.freshheartproject.com and follower her at @freshheartproject and @freshheartdoc⁠ ⁠ If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be delighted if you would give us a 5* rating and leave a review, so other people can find us too. Thank you!⁠ ⁠
