You know what?

I just haven't found it to be that useful in the long term.

I mean, what do you think?

chunks of health are achievable and people can do them repeatedly in the long term it's come from a lot of experience but also research so the experiences and there's many patients i could bring up here but there's one in particular i always remember um a 42 year old chap who came to see me he was a little bit overweight struggling with energy struggling with his mood

you know, a very typical patient that you might see in general practice.

So I chatted to him for a while and I felt that his lifestyle was probably contributing in a huge part to the way he was feeling.

But I don't think he was quite aware of what he was doing that was contributing and also what he'd do about it.

So we went through a variety of different things.

And at the end of it, he really seemed to enjoy and resonate with what I said about strength training.

He said, yeah, I'm in doc, strength training.

I'm going to do it.

I can see all the benefits for it.

And what would you like me to do?

40 minutes, three times a week at the gym.

And I said, hey, look, that would be absolutely amazing if you can do that.

And he goes, yeah, yeah, I'm going to do it.

And he walks out of the surgery.

You know, he's feeling good.

He's got a smile on his face and he's full of motivation.

He comes back a month later with a follow-up and he walks in and I said, hey, look, so how are you getting on?
