    Making Health Fun - could it be as important as any other aspect of health?

    2026/05/21 | 15 mins.
    In this episode I look at how we can make health fun. Many people find it hard to get going with healthy habits and
    I look at ways we can make them easier to access without thinking of them as ‘health’.
