Having a family doctor was the status-quo for a long time. They're someone your whole family calls by his or her's first name, your mum might even send them a Christmas card each year. 

But lately there seems to have been a shift to clinic loyalty over doctor loyalty, is this the smart thing to do? Or is the presence of a consistent GP more important?

GP Doctor Bryan Betty joins Tim Beveridge to discuss.

Sleeping's something we value more and more as we get older, but when we stay out at night, only getting a few hours of bed-time, how much damage are we doing?

It becomes a tougher issue for some with doing unusual work hours, children keeping them up, or health conditions.

But something like cancer can often run in the family, so how much risk can we actually mitigate through healthy-living choice? What signs should we look for?

General Practitioner Dr. John Cameron joins Tim Beveridge for the Health Hub to discuss...

Nutritionist Claire Turnbull joins Tim Beveridge on the Health Hub to discuss.
