For this episode, Nik is joined by Dr Hussain Al-Zubaidi, a GP based in Warwickshire with a very keen interest in lifestyle medicine. He's a lifestyle and physical activity champion for the RCGP, he's regularly on 'Steph's Packed Lunch' on Channel 4, he's also a Team GB AG Triathlete and SWIM England clinical advisor. They talk about lifestyle medicine and physical activity and also the Netflix film " The Swimmers". Amongst other things, they discuss what drives someone to risk their life in an inflatable dinghy that isn’t fit for purpose; how a strong sense of self can help you, even in the gravest situations; and how a young woman from Syria fled her country and ended up competing in the Refugee Olympic Team.
There's also the usual look at the medical news headlines and our new feature explores what's on our radar...

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
