👉 Lorraine Kelly is one of the UK’s best-loved broadcasters, known for her warmth, wit, and decades of breakfast TV brilliance. In this episode, she joins Dr Hilary for a candid conversation about breaking taboos on live television — from menopause to testicular exams — and why normalising health talk has always been part of her mission. Lorraine reflects on her journalism roots, her leap to TV-AM, and why she’s always treated everyone the same — from celebrities to guests sharing deeply personal stories. She opens up about being trampled by a horse, the emotional toll of miscarriage, and how becoming a grandmother has brought fresh perspective and joy. She also shares the story behind her debut novel The Island Swimmer, the benefits of cold-water swimming, and the simple rituals (including crisps and curry) that keep her grounded.

👉 Later in the episode, Dr Hilary speaks to Elizabeth Philp, CEO of Roseway Labs, about the growing field of compounding pharmacies and personalised medicine. Elizabeth explains how bespoke medications are created to suit individual needs — from dermatology to hormone health — and why this approach could help reduce waste, improve outcomes, and eventually support the NHS. They also discuss the rising demand among younger generations for skincare that works with their biology, not just trends — and why personalised treatments could be the future of healthcare.
