In our first episode of the Healthy You Podcast we meet Dr Kate Townsend, a GP at Newnham Walk Surgery in Cambridge. Kate shares with us how and why she decided to 'get healthy' ten years ago when a friend dared her to join her for a half-marathon running challenge. Kate tells us how she tries to support her patients (a lot of them students) dealing with issues around mental health and sleep and we find out how Kate takes care of her own health amidst the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
