Summary

This is inspirational.

David was the Conservative MP for Banff and Buchan for 7 years.

Then he suffered a spinal stroke. Incredibly he wasn't allowed to defend his seat in the general election.

This is the remarkable story of how he recovered, why he was blocked and how he's remained so positive.

0:00.0	Today is the day we tune out the noise about health, the confusion and the misinformation,
0:05.0	how many grams of protein, how much sleep, how many steps a day.
0:09.0	Today, we can see the truth of what's happening inside our own bodies in real time.

0:45.0	Today's guest is David Duket.
0:47.9	It was administering the governments of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss,
0:52.2	and was the MP for Banff and Bucking up in Scotland for seven years.
