In this episode, Dr Shauna is joined by Dr Ash Bowden, known to Central Coast locals as Doctor Do More. After moving to Australia from the UK, Ash worked as an Emergency Doctor for many years before his recent transition to become a GP. But it’s his passion for exercise that inspired him to create a step challenge, Move Against Cancer, raising money for the Cancer Council and encouraging movement at the same time.


In this episode, Dr Shauna and Dr Ash discuss:

  • His career journey from an emergency doctor to GP.
  • Personal experiences and passion for exercise.
  • Why is movement so important? Two key messages.

  • How much can you exercise while pregnant?
  • Back pain and exercise: how does movement correlate to pain relief?
  • What if you have a chronic condition that makes exercising difficult or unsafe?
