We are delighted to welcome Stroke Consultant and longevity expert Dr Nikhil Sharma as our Special Guest Speaker to our LifeMed Knowledge session this month.

"What's Good for the Heart is Good for the Brain: High impact interventions for Heart health, Brain health and more" 

Heart disease, Stroke and Dementia are 3 of the most common and most feared causes of ill health and mortality worldwide and in the UK. Stroke consultant Dr Nik Sharma will discuss the overlap between good heart health, stroke and dementia and the surprising degree to which these "horsemen" can be modified through a proactive approach to health and largely lifestyle focused interventions.

Dr Nik Sharma is a Stroke Physician in Liverpool. After a decade of practice as a consultant and several senior leadership roles both within his hospital trust and within the Stroke community, Nik developed a passion for disease prevention and in particular Stroke prevention. Motivated by epidemiological studies demonstrating that up to 90% of heart attacks and Strokes could be prevented with risk factor prevention, Nik set himself the goal of Preventing 100 million years of ill health through Proactive Disease prevention. Proactive Healthcare is Nik's online Stroke and Prevention clinic that represents the first step on this journey.

Nik also works as Chief Medical Officer of Helfy. Helfy aligns with Nik's vision by supporting talented lifestyle and longevity physicians to get into practice by providing online electronic records, CQC oversight and governance support.
