Listen now
Description
Dr Zoe Williams, perhaps best known as one of the resident GPs on This Morning, has a warm chat with fellow GP Gemma on today’s episode. They talk about the importance of lifestyle medicine and how it has become more mainstream since they started out as doctors. Zoe shares her story of her severe asthma and why she is such an advocate for the benefits of exercise as a social prescription for exercise from her childhood doctor is the reason she is where is she is today. Dr Zoe shares her tips on how exercise can lift your mood, how to get the best from your GP, plus her three ingredients for success. In this wide-ranging conversation, Zoe also talks about her experience as a new mum, and why she feels it’s so important to be honest on social media about motherhood. This Morning’s resident GP Dr Zoe is a former Gladiator, rugby player and Healthy, the Holland & Barrett magazine, named her a Game Changer of the Year in 2020 for her work promoting Covid vaccinations particularly amongst the black community. As well as being a GP with lots of great, no-nonsense general health advice, Zoe is big on lifestyle and preventative medicine – she’s a runner and has increasingly spoken out about mental health and the need for human connection. She’s a new mum to baby Lisbon Lion (born last May) and has talked about how being a doctor has impacted motherhood.
