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

👉 Vanessa Lloyd Platt has seen it all—from high-profile splits to deeply personal breakdowns. As one of the UK’s most sought-after family lawyers, she brings decades of experience, candour, and compassion to the often-overlooked health impacts of divorce.

In this episode, she joins Dr Hilary for an eye-opening conversation about why divorce doesn’t just break hearts—it can break your health. From the emotional toll of loneliness and insomnia to the physical risks like diabetes and heart disease, Vanessa explains why managing expectations, mental well-being, and nutrition during separation is critical.

Together, they explore the pitfalls of bad legal advice, the psychological fallout of modern “no-fault” divorces, and why mediation and support systems are more essential than ever.
