“I’ll deal with it when work calms down.”

The problem is that for many people, work never really calms down.
There will always be another deadline, another project, another trip, another reason that looking after yourself can wait.

Your body doesn't understand that bargain.

Your heart experiences the sleep you get, the movement you do, the food you eat, the stress you carry, and the numbers you haven't checked.

Not the reason you haven't had time to deal with them.
You don't need to put your life on hold to look after your health.
But you do need to stop putting your health on hold for your life.

“My blood pressure is only a little high.”
It’s something I hear frequently.
And one slightly elevated reading isn’t necessarily a reason to panic.
But blood pressure matters because we’re interested in what happens over time.
Persistent high blood pressure places additional strain on your arteries and heart, and many people experience no obvious symptoms while it’s happening.
So don’t panic about a number.
But don’t dismiss a pattern either.

Being a cardiologist doesn’t mean I have a magical way of avoiding cardiovascular disease.
It means I know which information I wouldn’t ignore.
Blood pressure. Cholesterol. Family history. Changes in symptoms. Changes in fitness or exercise tolerance.
The aim isn’t to become frightened of every number or sensation.
It’s to understand your own risk well enough to recognise when something deserves attention.
Prevention starts with knowing what you’re dealing with.

Businesses measure almost everything.

Growth. Revenue. Productivity. Performance. Retention.

But there’s another question I think leadership teams should be asking:

How healthy is the culture we’ve created?

High performance can conceal poor health remarkably well.

Someone can be delivering results while sleeping badly, barely moving, operating under constant stress and ignoring their blood pressure.
Until they can't.

Workplace wellbeing shouldn’t just be about responding when somebody burns out. There is a much bigger conversation to be had about creating environments where high performance and long-term health can coexist.

It’s a conversation I believe belongs in boardrooms, leadership teams, and on conference stages.

Coffee? Eggs? Red w**e? Supplements? 10,000 steps? Smart watches?

Heart health advice online has become remarkably good at turning nuanced questions into absolute rules.
Unfortunately, medicine rarely works like that.

So: yes, no or it depends — cardiologist edition.
And “it depends” may be the most medically accurate answer of the three.

I am delighted and honoured to share that I have been elected Vice President of the European Society of Lifestyle Medicine (ELMO).

Throughout my career in Cardiology, I have become increasingly passionate about the role lifestyle medicine can play in preventing disease, improving health outcomes and helping people live longer, healthier lives.

This appointment is both a tremendous honour and an exciting opportunity to help advance that mission on a European scale.

ELMO brings together clinicians, researchers, educators and advocates who share a commitment to making evidence-based lifestyle medicine a fundamental part of healthcare.

I look forward to working alongside my colleagues across Europe to strengthen collaboration, advance education and research, and help bring prevention further to the forefront of modern medicine.

My sincere thanks to my colleagues at ELMO for their trust and confidence. I am very much looking forward to what we can achieve together.

The future of healthcare must be about more than treating disease. It must also be about preventing it.

One of the things cardiologists hear surprisingly often is:

“I thought it would go away.”

Not every unusual symptom means there is something wrong with your heart. But there are symptoms I would much rather someone have assessed than ignore.

Chest discomfort. Unexplained breathlessness. Fainting or near-fainting. New or persistent palpitations. A significant unexplained change in your ability to exercise.

And if symptoms are sudden, severe or you think you may be experiencing a medical emergency, seek urgent medical attention.

Listening to your body isn’t overreacting. Sometimes it is exactly what prevents a problem becoming a much bigger one.

If I were turning 40 tomorrow, I wouldn’t be looking for a complete lifestyle overhaul.
I’d be looking at the handful of things that have the greatest potential to influence my health over the next 20 or 30 years.
Know your blood pressure. Understand your cholesterol. Move regularly. Prioritise sleep. Pay attention to what you eat most of the time.
None of these are particularly glamorous.
But prevention usually isn’t.
The things you do consistently matter far more than the health kick you manage for three weeks every January.

We talk a lot about what it takes to be successful.

Long hours. Responsibility. Pressure. Being available. Pushing through when you’re tired.

But after years working as a cardiologist, I think there’s another question worth asking:
What is that success costing you?

Your blood pressure doesn’t care how important the meeting is. Your heart doesn’t know that things will “calm down next month”.

And chronic stress, poor sleep, and inactivity don’t become harmless because they happened in pursuit of a successful career.

I’m increasingly interested in bringing this conversation into workplaces and onto stages.

Because professional success and long-term health should never have to be competing ambitions.
