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.

In this week's episode, final year medical student and host Linda discusses a whole lot with Dr Shireen Kassam, who is a consultant haematologist, as well as founder and director of Plant-Based Health Professionals UK. We of course talk about plantbased nutrition, how chronic inflammation is behind many of the chronic diseases affecting society and how plant and animal foods impact the body - all evidence-based of course.
We also discuss wider societal issues such as health inequalities, medical education, issues within healthcare systems, the food industry and climate change. It's a good one!
