Hello everybody and welcome back to the BTN Academy. So as you can tell from this voice you're here again with me Tom the usual co-host.

Ben has asked me to step in today and as usual with my podcast I've got a pretty awesome guest.

So I'm here with Dr. Hamad Kamali and he is a doctor from a company that we work with occasionally

called Medi Checks.

Medi Checks are a private blood testing company. We've

recommended them a couple times in the past to people who've wanted to either for

their own benefit or for that of clients get some blood testing done.

But that's not necessarily what we're here to talk about today.

I just thought that this guy would be quite an interesting person to talk to.

He sat in a very cool room surrounded by guitars, so's going to come up but I don't want to

wait around too much and Dr Hamad just please introduce yourself tell us who you are

thanks a lot to Tom yeah so I'm I'm a doctor, I work at medi checks. I'm currently working in general practice, but just a brief background. I spent a number of years in intensive care and anesthesia and emergency medicine as well.

So a bit of a bit of a straight, not a sort of straightforward route that most people who work in GP would take.

I, as you may already know, I follow a plant-based diet

and I am an advocate of that, but I'm sure that will come into that at some point as well.

Previously, I guess other than the music side of the thing you've mentioned as well,

I used to compete, I did a few competitions in powerlifting, you know, the, you know, a few sort of friendly

cross-fit competitions and things like that and yeah my next venture is cycling so we'll see how that goes.

Ooh what cycling goals have you got set are you doing it like road is off road or?

Road I it off-road or? Or?

Road, I'm planning on doing the car 10 100 in May.

That's the 100 mile cycle from Cardiff to 10B.
