About this listen

We’re kicking off Season 6 with a cracker. Our resident host — Patron of You Okay, Doc?, former England Rugby 7s Captain and Olympic Silver Medallist Tom Mitchell — is back at the mic!

Joining Tom are members of the 2025 Mt Toubkal Team, who earlier this year braved –20°C conditions to summit the highest peak in North Africa at 4,167m (13,670ft), all to raise awareness and vital funds for You Okay, Doc?.

Our guests:

  • Darren Lunz – Chair of Trustees, You Okay, Doc?
  • Dr Elle Todd – Founder of The Clinical Shift, entrepreneur & portfolio doctor
  • Lt Col Ben Caesar – Trauma & Orthopaedic Surgeon, British Army
  • Dr Dan Gearon – Founder of You Okay, Doc?

Together they share the challenges, obstacles, highs and lows of mountain climbing — and reflect on the importance of disconnecting to reconnect, of collective resilience, and the metaphorical power of climbing together.

Expect crampons, crazy stories, and reflections on why hiking can be one of the most magical healers. 🌄
