Dr Sally Harris

Dr Sally Harris is a qualified medical doctor with over 30 years experience, whose interest in people and the way that stress affects their health has taken her on a very interesting journey. These days she works in the private sector combining general practice with health screening, and has also been the advising doctor to the League Managers Association - the professional body that represents all football managers in the English leagues - for the last 9 years. Through her work, Sally has learned many things about what high achievers have in common, and the key principles for maintaining health in a fast-paced life. In this episode, she speaks about her belief that we need a certain level of stress to build resilience but that too much stress is definitely harmful; the importance of health screening based on your own risk factors and not gathering health data for the sake of it; and why consistency is the key principle that underpins everything. Dr Harris is also passionate about women’s health, so of course Gabby asks her for her thoughts on the best way to get through the menopause - listen to the end for her top tip.
