Welcome to What鈥檚 Up Docs?, the podcast where doctors and identical twins Chris and Xand van Tulleken explore every aspect of our health and wellbeing.

How do you tell your friend that something they鈥檝e been doing is really starting to hurt your feelings? Talk to your mum about her health? Or even ask your partner to try something new in bed?

If just thinking about these types of conversations makes your stomach flip, you鈥檙e not alone. Most of us avoid moments like these, but how important is it to confront our interpersonal issues head on?

The docs are joined by Chartered Psychologist Kimberley Wilson to explore how we can better prepare for life鈥檚 tough but important conversations. Chris and Xand are committed to sharing their personal health and wellbeing journey on What鈥檚 up Docs, and in this episode they unexpectedly found themselves having a difficult conversation of their own.
