0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to another episode of the Food Medic podcast. It's me, Dr. Hazel Wallace, host of the podcast coming to you from lockdown in London.
0:11.1	This podcast episode is sponsored by Murad. Murad is the dermatologist-developed skincare brand that approaches skin differently.
0:20.0	How? Through founder Dr. Howard, Murad's four
0:23.1	main pillars of wellness for total skin health. Eat your water, awaken your body, be kind to your mind
0:29.1	and of course, nourish your skin with their high performance formulas. For more than 30 years,
0:35.0	Murad has been committed to developing clinically proven cruelty-free
0:38.7	products that meet the meticulous standards for safety, efficacy and care you'd expect from a doctor.
0:45.0	My personal favourite product is their best-selling retinol youth renewal eye serum.
0:50.2	Retinal is a derivative of vitamin A, which helps improve skin cell turnover and reduce the breakdown of collagen.
0:57.2	I find this product is great for reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving skin texture.

1:28.8	affect any person at every stage from diagnosis to treatment, women receive poor care than men.
1:36.1	For example, research shows that women delay seeking medical help and present a hospital later than
1:40.9	men. Women are also 50% more likely than a man to receive the wrong initial
1:46.2	diagnosis for a heart attack. And following a diagnosis, women are less likely to receive timely
1:52.7	reprofusion therapy like drugs or stents. To understand why this happens, today I'm joined by
2:00.0	Chris Gale, who is Professor of Cardiovascular
