For this episode, Nik is joined by Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi, a GP based in Warwickshire with a very keen interest in lifestyle medicine. He's a lifestyle and physical activity champion for the RCGP, he's regularly on 'Steph's Packed Lunch' on Channel 4, he's also a Team GB AG Triathlete and  SWIM England clinical advisor. They talk about lifestyle medicine and physical activity and also the Netflix film " The Swimmers". Amongst other things, they discuss what drives someone to risk their life in an inflatable dinghy that isn’t fit for purpose; how a strong sense of self can help you, even in the gravest situations; and how a young woman from Syria fled her country and ended up competing in the Refugee Olympic Team.
There's also the usual look at the medical news headlines and our new feature explores what's on our radar...
