About the Author



Dr Punam Krishan MBCHB MRCGP DFSRH is a practising NHS GP and media medic based in Scotland. She is a resident GP on BBC Morning Live and BBC Radio Scotland where she holds a phone-in surgery covering everything related to health and lifestyle. She was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing in 2024. As a doctor and mother of two, she has a specialist interest in maternal and family health, as well as mental health. Recognising a need to offer parents a real talking, easy-to-understand format when it comes to looking after their family needs, Punam set up The Medic Mum podcast with a fellow GP mother, which was shortlisted for Best Podcast at the Glomama Awards 2022. Punam's writing credits include Vogue, Hello, and Grazia, The I, and DK Children's Sunday Times bestseller You and Your Body (2025). She was shortlisted for the British Journalism Awards 2021.
