Life after loss, the power of positive thinking, and intentional living with Pete Cohen
In this moving episode, Pete Cohen (https://www.petecohen.com/) talks about love, loss, and the mindset shifts that shape a meaningful life. Pete reflects on the death of his wife, Hannah, after a remarkable 12-year journey through brain cancer—and how that experience changed his relationship with himself.
He speaks candidly about how grief challenged him to face his thoughts and emotions, let go of “busyness,” and live more intentionally. The conversation explores how phobias form and can be overcome, how visualising the future can shape behaviour, and why helping others begins with knowing yourself. Pete also shares powerful insights from working with elite athletes like Ronnie O’Sullivan and Sally Gunnell, and why pressure, trauma, and identity can define performance.
With humour and heart, Pete and Dr. Hilary revisit their early TV collaborations—fire walks, costume talks, and health campaigns that used playfulness to spark change. The episode is a wide-ranging reflection on resilience, perspective, and the quiet power of showing up.

Ed Balls: life after politics, Strictly, and how he learned to live with a stammer
Ed Balls joins Dr. Hilary to talk candidly about the challenges that have defined his life—from battling altitude sickness on Kilimanjaro with Little Mix, to running three marathons while in cabinet, and managing the osteoarthritis that now impacts his knees and hands.
He opens up about life with a stammer and why, even after reaching the highest levels of government, it took years of therapy—and going public—to find peace with it. The conversation spans his media career, Strictly Come Dancing, and the surreal moment he played the banjo for the Queen with Frank Skinner and Harry Hill.
And while he doesn’t rule out a return to politics, Ed explains why he feels he’s doing more public good now—from the outside.

They explore treatments ranging from shockwave therapy and penile implants to lifestyle changes that really make a difference — and uncover the new science around testosterone and mental health.

The Surgeon Who Operates on the World’s Biggest Sports Stars

Francis Rossi: Surviving Fame, Addiction, and his rigorous health routine
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.

A Rare Disease Changed Everything: One Husband’s Story of Love, Loss and Relentless Hope
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
