For this episode, Nik is joined by Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi, a lifestyle medicine GP, TV doctor, public speaker, health coach and personal trainer. He's a lifestyle and physical activity champion for the RCGP, and also a Team GB AG Triathlete. 
They're covering the TV documentary that everyone has been talking about- "Joe Wicks: licensed to kill", that has recently been on Channel 4 in the UK. 
What do we in primary care need to know about ultra processed food, professionally, and also on a personal level? Was the documentary really as bad as social media would have us believe, or is there room for a more nuanced conversation about ultra processed food?… 
Plus, the usual look at the medical news headlines and what's on our radar.
