Medicine shapes how long we live and how well. London Real has sat down with surgeons, emergency doctors, researchers and patients to hear what medicine looks like from the inside. These conversations cover disaster and battlefield surgery, life in A&E, pandemics, drug policy, nutrition, ageing and the debates over vaccines and new treatments. The views shared are the guests’ own and are not medical advice. Every full interview is free to watch.
From Harvard ageing researcher Dr David Sinclair and cardiologist Dr Peter McCullough to neuropsychopharmacologist Professor David Nutt, physicians Dr Michael Greger and Dr Neal Barnard, MAPS founder Rick Doblin and ex-SAS surgeon Richard Villar: medicine from the inside.
Richard Villar, an orthopaedic surgeon who served as an SAS surgeon, works as a disaster medic. In his first episode he describes giving medical aid in warzones, including landing in Haiti 30 hours after the 2010 earthquake. Dr Marc Barton talks about life in A&E, why he says the first hour after injury is crucial and why he believes alcohol is the most dangerous drug. Dimitar Tonev, then UK Medical Director of Virology at Bristol-Myers Squibb, discussed the reality of a global pandemic in 2012. Kaz Aston, a campaigner, shares how she lives well with multiple sclerosis, and educator Chris Kistan talks about teaching children with autism.
Dr Peter McCullough, a cardiologist, shares his views on COVID vaccines. Professor David Nutt argues that alcohol is the most damaging drug in the world. Rick Doblin founded MAPS in 1986 with the goal of making MDMA an approved medicine, as he explains in MDMA Therapy. He also explains why he says medical cannabis studies are hard to run in the US. Developmental biologist Bruce Lipton argues that beliefs can influence how genes behave. Anita Moorjani describes the near-death experience she had during cancer.
Many guests focus on staying well. Dr David Sinclair, known for his research on ageing and epigenetics, explains why he believes ageing can be slowed. Physicians Dr Michael Greger and Dr Neal Barnard make the case for plant-based eating. Eric Edmeades argues that diet can help reverse diabetes. Breathing expert Patrick McKeown explains how he believes changing the way you breathe can lower stress, and Wim Hof shares his breathing and cold method.
