Read excerpt
Type 2 diabetes is a disease on the rise. It affects over 4 million people in the UK, with many living with it undiagnosed.

This week, Greg and Charlie put these questions to Dr. Naveed Sattar, Professor of Cardiometabolic Medicine at the University of Glasgow and one of the world's most cited researchers in diabetes and obesity science.

This week, Greg and Charlie sit down with one of the minds behind this project: Dr. Julian Abel. Julian has spent his clinical career a

Ever woken up exactly one minute before your alarm? Or landed on the other side of the world with a very accurate sense of what time it is back home? Our bodies have fine-tuned internal clocks that set the pace for our circadian rhythm. But why did we evolve to work like this? And what happens to our health when we’re out of sync? This week, as a follow up from our conversation with Kathryn Pinkham, Greg and Charlie sit down with Dr. Russell Foster, for a crash course on circadian biology. Russe
