Dr Walker is a leading integrative cardiologist based on the upper north shore of Sydney. Dr Walker specialises in the field of preventative cardiology, is the author of seven books, including, ‘The Life Factor’ and ‘5 Stages of Health’, and appears regularly as a media commentator including hosting a regular health show on the  Talking Lifestyle network throughout Australia. Dr  Walker lectures both nationally and internationally on this subject. 

I had the pleasure of hosting Dr Walker on the show to discuss the 5 Stages of Health and why they matter to improve life quality and longevity. In this episode, he shares his decades of experience on the impact of stress, tiredness, anger and relationship dissatisfaction on heart health plus his advice on how understanding the role of epigenetics can improve health and life span, even if we are genetically pre-disposed to disease. 

Dr Ross Walker's approach to longevity and wellness is refreshing and surprisingly natural. Advocating a combination of lifestyle changes, anti-ageing medicine and supplements, he’s been at the forefront of a new era of treatment and prevention of the silent killer that is heart disease.

In this episode, Bahar Etminan and Danielle Renee from Bobbie Charles Clinics, explore the complexities of melasma and hyperpigmentation, discussing their differences, triggers, and effective treatments.
