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.

What did medical school not teach me about working as a junior doctor, which I wish I knew? In this 30 minute episode, I give you general tips in two broad areas to help you feel more prepared for your first job as a doctor: life around work, and life at work. We cover your rights as a doctor (leave, pay), what might be expected of you, top tips for teamwork, how to look after your own health, and much more.
See time stamps for episode below. Check out the show notes on lindadoes.com/widlims24 for links to everything I mentioned in the show.
