Francis Rossi joins Dr. Hilary to talk openly about the years he lost to cocaine and alcohol, the damage it caused, and the daily habits he now sticks to without fail. He explains why these days, he still does vocal warmups, crunches, and watches what he eats.
They discuss his friendship and eventual distance from Rick Parfitt, the moment he showed his damaged nose on live TV, and why he chose to have a hair transplant. At 76, he’s still touring — but only by staying disciplined, physically active and prepared for every show.

Huntington’s disease affects thousands of families across the UK — but many still haven’t heard of it. And when it comes to men’s health, taboo and time can be two of the biggest barriers to care.

Dr. Hilary sits down with two very different guests sharing one goal: better health through awareness, support, and accessible solutions. First, Steve Lewis, filmmaker and devoted husband, opens up about caring for his wife Sarah and raising awareness about Huntington’s through their powerful story. Then, digital health pioneer Sokratis Papafloratos discusses his personal health scare and how it inspired the creation NUMAN, an online health platform revolutionizing how men (and now women) access care.

Together, they explore:
• What it’s really like living with Huntington’s disease
• How genetic testing impacts family planning
• The emotional toll on carers — and what support’s out there
• Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis: giving children a future without Huntington’s
• Why many GPs have never seen a case — and why that must change
• Making health care more accessible and less embarrassing for men
• How NUMAN is addressing healthcare with holistic plans

HRT has become one of the most talked-about—and misunderstood—topics in women’s health. This week, Dr. Hilary is joined by GP, media doctor, and author Dr. Ellie Cannon to separate fact from fiction. With her new book, The Little Book of HRT, Dr. Cannon offers practical, no-nonsense advice rooted in everyday NHS care, cutting through commercial hype and confusion.

Together, they discuss:
• Why HRT isn’t simply good or bad—it’s personal
• How the menopause conversation has evolved
• The dangers of misinformation and overmedicalisation
• What most women can expect from their NHS GP
• Why straightforward, accessible advice is still so hard to find
