FOLLOW ALONG
I spent the first twenty years of my career believing that good medicine spoke for itself. A patient — I will call her S, because she would absolutely sue me if I didn’t — once told me I needed to “get on the internet.” I thought she meant email. She meant TikTok. We have since reached a compromise.
What started as reluctant presence has become something I genuinely value. The conversations are real. The questions are good. And occasionally, someone messages me at 11pm to say that something I said changed how they thought about their body. That makes the algorithm worth tolerating.
Find me where the science is — and occasionally, where the sparring footage is. Names of all patients, colleagues, and the person who told me my lighting was wrong have been retracted to preserve everyone’s dignity, including mine.
The short version of everything.
Science, skin, and the occasional reel that my colleague C told me was “too educational to go viral.” She was right. I posted it anyway. Clinical insights, myth-busting, and real answers to the questions patients are too polite to ask in the consultation room.
YOUTUBE
The long version. Worth it.
A friend — let’s call him R, a man who once told me that nobody watches videos longer than 60 seconds anymore — has since apologised. Deep dives into longevity, aesthetics, women’s health, and the science that doesn’t fit in a caption. Pull up a chair. There is no algorithm here, just the full conversation.
PODCAST
Conversations worth having.
My producer — I will call her T, who has told me more than once that I sound “too doctor-y” at the start — has been largely ignored on this point and has made peace with it. The podcast covers what I actually think about longevity, ageing, aesthetics, and health. No sponsors selling collagen drinks. No guests I disagree with but smile at politely. Just honest medicine, said plainly.
