I'm a physician, journalist and broadcaster. Born in Glasgow and trained in Medicine in Glasgow, Aberdeen and London, I moved to Sydney to continue training in paediatrics. I originally wanted to be an actor but the thought of a life of underemployment convinced me to listen to my Jewish mother who couldn't cope with the idea of 'mein son the actor'. Long story short I did do medicine but had a midlife crisis in my twenties and started writing then joined the Australian Broadcasting Corporation where I've been ever since. I have my own health show on Australia's equivalent of Radio 4 (The Health Report on Radio National). I ran Radio National for several years and radically reformed its programming. I've won Australia's top award for investigative journalism and in the early 90s I made a four part series on pandemics for Channel 4(UK). Currently in addition to The Health Report, I am co-host of a highly popular daily podcast on the coronavirus called Coronacast, I'm a reporter and commentator on the ABC's flagship television current affairs show 7.30 and appear on a variety of other television and radio programmes. I wrote So You Think You Know What's Good For You partly as an antidote to the usual health books which wag their finger at you and imply you've been a fool all your life. If only you'd eaten goji berries every day, your life would have been transformed. Paraphrasing the American humourist H.L. Mencken, for every complex problem there's a clear and simple solution - which is always wrong. This book treats you like an adult and tells you it how it is.
