In this episode of the Emerald Health Podcast, we sit down with Dr Ravi De Silva, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at the renowned Royal Papworth Hospital and one of the most respected voices in British cardiac surgery, to talk about what heart disease really looks like before it becomes a crisis. We cover how to prepare your body properly before major surgery, and we shine a light on aortic dissection, a sudden and life threatening tear in the body's main artery that kills without warning and remains one of the most under-discussed emergencies in medicine. What would a cardiac surgeon tell you if you had an hour and no agenda? This episode is exactly that.

We are joined by Professor Giles Yeo, geneticist, BBC science presenter, and one of the world's leading researchers in the biology of obesity, to cut through the noise around weight, diet, and the GLP-1 revolution. From the brain circuits that govern why we eat to the science behind the most talked-about drugs in medicine right now, Professor Yeo brings his trademark rigour, wit, and unflinching honesty.
