Doctors Lucy Burns and Mary Barson are general practitioners, who have joined forces to run an online community and weight loss programs through their Real Life Medicine initiative. The talented duo are passionate advocates of real food and real health.

The podcast allows them to share their scientific and medical knowledge and personal experiences by helping other women achieve a healthy life they’ve always been looking for.

The rapport between the co-hosts is evident and their bubbly personalities translate to a show of incredible engagement.

Real Health & Weight Loss debuted at Number 1 in the Nutrition category on the Apple Podcast charts in late 2020. It consistently ranks in the top 3 in the same category, as audiences can’t get enough of the wise words and humorous exchanges with the two.

Dr Lucy resides on the Mornington Peninsula, while Dr Mary is on the other side of Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay, on the Bellarine Peninsula. After some earlier episodes training with Chris Ashmore Media using Riverside — a browser-based recording software — the good doctors are recording themselves. Each use a Rode-NT USB microphone.
