055 The Healthcare Revolution with Dr Iain Broadley - a podcast by Sunjay Vyas

Have you ever been told by a doctor that it would help if you lost weight, did some exercise or eat a healthier diet? Usually that advice is not followed up with any practical advice on how to do those things.

Well thankfully that is about to change.

Nutritank was founded by two medical students Dr Ally Jaffee and Dr Iain Broadley who believed that nutrition and lifestyle medicine education in medical training was not adequate. They believed that they had a responsibility to their generation and future generations of doctors to make a change and that young people are in the ideal position to make that difference.

By working with medical schools, nutrition and dietetic organisations around the UK, Nutritank has evolved into an innovative information hub of food, nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

In this episode we discuss Dr Broadley's background and how he got into medicine. He shares openly about how he didn't have a great self care routine during his first time at university (he has two degrees!). This led to  a breakdown due to stress prior to his finals in the 3rd year. He bounced back through dedicating time to self-care This experience got him through medical school. It highlighted to him the importance of self-care and lifestyle, and as a medical student he asked himself the obvious question: "Why are we not teaching this to our doctors?"

He shares his experience of how Nutritank has been influential in changing the curriculum at medical school across the UK to include nutrition and lifestyle education.

I cannot stress how significant this is! Thanks to Nutritank our future generations will be provided with the tools and education of how to look after our physical and mental health which you cannot put a price on.
