Today I chat to Dr Kerryn Phelps AM, one of Australia's most well-known GP's and engaging health communicators. She's spent her life educating people about health, BUT she's much than a doctor.

In this episode we discuss her new memoir, 'The Power of Balance' exploring the events and ideas that have inspired her to create change throughout her lifetime. From medicine, media, politics, advocacy and activism, Kerryn has led a remarkable life of changemaking in many domains.

We discuss:

• How medicine and communication around ageing has changed
• Why poor health in old age is NOT inevitable
• The joys of writing a memoir
• Myth-busting supplements
• Your gut biome, and the gut-brain axis
• The mid-fifties exercise regime
• How to keep your brain young
• Prescribing activities for purpose
