About this episode

Hello all you Private Parters! Welcome back to the podcast where nothing is off limits. 


It's Friday and boy oh boyyy do we have a treat for you today! This week, Jamie is joined by telly doctor and full-time GP, Dr Amir Khan. Amir is a resident doctor on ITV’s Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, as well as a best-selling author.

Jamie & Amir sit down to chat about all things health, from how much the NHS has changed in 20 years, the importance of things such as sleep to our overall wellbeing, the problem with porn and how dopamine works in the brain. Amir also shares some very funny stories from his time in general practice.


Plus, Amir debunks some medical myths, answers some of our lovely listeners health questions and they discuss his debut novel How (Not) To Have An Arranged Marriage. To pre-order the book, click here.
