Description

Dr Mark Porter joins James to kick off Series 2 of the Inspiring Movement podcast.

With nearly 40 years in the NHS and a long career in medical broadcasting, Mark talks candidly about what’s really holding people back from staying well as they age.

They cover:

  • Why we lose strength faster than we think
  • What most people get wrong about exercise
  • The dangers of doing nothing
  • How to support people who aren’t motivated to move
  • What GPs wish they had more time to help with
  • Whether pills are the easy way out—and what to ask your doctor before taking them

Mark doesn’t hold back. Expect straight-talking, practical advice with plenty of takeaways.
