About this episode

Dr. Paddy Barrett discusses the psychological distress of avoiding health checks and the importance of motivation for staying healthy.

September Reset - code 'podcast' gets you a discount! What an honour to sit down with Dr Paddy Barrett . Leading Cardiologist, 37,000 weekly readers of his newsletter and someone who recently posted something online that completely stopped me in my tracks. He spoke about the psychological distress we carry when we know there is something we should be doing, and could be doing, but we’re not doing it. Mic drop. For me, it was something I was putting off for 20 years. We talk about work, identity, the pressure to be successful and what happens when we build our entire sense of who we are around what we do . And then the big question we can ask ourselves for all the motivation we need to get and STAY healthy. Also, how can you stack the odds in your favour for longevity? This pod has it all.
