The life lessons from Australia’s most trusted GP: Dr.Kerryn Phelps AM Prime Time with Bec Wilson

Today I chat to Dr Kerryn Phelps AM, one of Australia's most well-known GP's and engaging health communicators. She's spent her life educating people about health, BUT she's much than a doctor. 

In this episode we discuss her new memoir, 'The Power of Balance' exploring the events and ideas that have inspired her to create change throughout her lifetime. From medicine, media, politics, advocacy and activism, Kerryn has led a remarkable life of changemaking in many domains.

We discuss:


How medicine and communication around ageing has changed
Why poor health in old age is NOT inevitable
The joys of writing a memoir
Myth-busting supplements
Your gut biome, and the gut-brain axis
The mid-fifties exercise regime
How to keep your brain young
Prescribing activities for purpose
