The Heart Book

We all know the things we need to do to live longer, healthier lives, but it can often be difficult to motivate ourselves to take the first step. We feel overwhelmed by advice and don’t know where to start. Professor Robert Kelly runs a busy cardiology and lifestyle medicine practice, with the primary aim of preventing, treating and potentially reversing heart disease. He treats patients with a wide spectrum of heart-related problems, and has developed his Whole Heart Health Approach, which is more holistic and patient-centred. While medication and interventions such as stents and surgeries play a vital role in managing heart problems, Professor Kelly also uses lifestyle medicine to give patients the tools to really change their bad habits and become healthy, extending their life by years, and reducing the risk of future heart problems. The Heart Book brings this approach to the reader, as Professor Kelly guides you from knowing to doing, helping you to overcome your inertia, and take positive steps to a healthier future. He educates the reader about heart health, lifestyle medicine and longevity, and then teaches you how to change your behaviours to prevent, treat and potentially reverse heart disease so you can live longer, happier, and healthier. Each chapter includes patient stories and tools for readers to use. The Heart Book is essential reading for anyone looking to kickstart their new, healthier lifestyle and break their bad habits.
