In a nutshell, WIDLIMS is a platform for discussing topics crucial to health which are not taught, glossed over or approached from the wrong angles in medicine and public discourse. The host Linda's knowledge – as a final year medical student – combined with valuable input from guests provides you with accessible and most importantly empowering evidence-based information on topics within the field of lifestyle medicine. In addition, you can expect in-depth mental health discussions, for example when considering body image & disordered eating in diet culture, as well as health inequalities due to variables such as race & gender which affect health behaviours and outcomes. We'll also discuss specific health conditions such as acne, anxiety and anorexia. DISCLAIMER: this podcast is for educational & entertainment purposes only.

Dr Michael Farquhar, a consultant in sleep medicine, joins me for this episode on the importance of good sleep for health. We discuss alien abductions, caffeine naps and flexible consistency in sleep routines.
Essentially, we cover the basics of what sleep is and how to improve yours, and also spend some time focusing on how night shift workers can mitigate the risks of sleep deprivation and disrupted sleep patterns, as I have found this is not always covered in mainstream sleep advice. Shout-out to all the night shift workers, including new junior doctors and nurses joining the NHS in these trying times!

**This is a podcast for education and entertainment purposes only and should not be taken as individual medical advice** also, I am sorry for the poor sound quality in this episode - we were having technical issues and I am just glad we were able to record in the end, but I hope it doesn't detract from your listening!
WIDLIMS is a podcast created by Linda when she was a medical student - she now works as a junior trainee doctor in England.
