It’s time for our Daily Dose of What’s Up Docs?, with Drs’ Chris and Xand van Tulleken.
January is certainly a month we pay considerable attention to our health and wellbeing and we all want a little reminder of some tips and tricks for how best to care for and think about our minds and bodies.
In this Daily Dose, Drs Chris and Xand van Tulleken are returning to the episode on nails with Dr Yusur Al-Nuaimi, Consultant Dermatologist at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital and Clinical Lead for the British Hair and Nail Society. Yusur highlighted how our nails have developed to optimize human function and are deeply rooted without our evolutionary history.
The Daily Doses will be dropping each weekday throughout January (other than Tuesday's), an elixir of expert wisdom from previous episodes of What’s Up Docs?. You can find them in the medicine cabinet that is the What’s Up Docs?, feed on BBC Sounds.
