Prevention and Longevity Doctor Dr. Philip Mathen reveals the blood test most GPs skip, why "it's genetic" isn't the excuse you think it is, and the one thing he wants every Australian to know about preventing disease.
Dr. Philip Mathen is an Intensive Care specialist with over 30 years of clinical experience across major Sydney hospitals, primarily in post-operative cardiothoracic ICU.
In 2020, he founded Veritas Executive Health, a clinic combining evidence-based medicine, advanced diagnostics, and lifestyle intervention to help executives identify health risks early and optimise long-term performance.
He explains:
The 4 things routine health checks commonly miss, and what to get tested instead
Why "high cholesterol" doesn't always mean you need a statin
How much blood pressure and blood sugar can improve through lifestyle alone, before medication is needed
Why "it's genetic" is not the free pass most people think it is
What GLP-1 medications are being misused for, and who they're actually suited for
