We’re really excited to be collaborating with Becky from Becky’s notes, a UK based resource, to produce infographics for our visual learners out there. Becky’s notes brings together all the key topics medical students need to know in a readily available place, reviewed by specialists in the field. These visually striking notes are a refreshing change from all the boring textbooks.

There's a particular kind of pressure in medicine, where complex problems demand clear thinking under duress. First Principles of Medicine is built for those moments. Instead of offering memorized lists or surface-level reviews, this podcast from 1PM digs down to the foundational concepts that govern how the human body works and how we approach its care. Each episode takes a seemingly intricate topic in health, fitness, or clinical medicine and deconstructs it into its most basic, undeniable components. What you'll hear are conversations and analyses that rebuild understanding from the ground up. The aim is to equip you with a flexible framework, a way of thinking that holds up when straightforward answers aren't available. By consistently returning to these core tenets, the podcast fosters a deeper, more intuitive grasp of medical science. Whether you're a student, a practitioner, or simply someone fascinated by how we heal and function, tuning in provides a mental toolkit. It's about cultivating the confidence to reason through uncertainty, using first principles as a reliable guide. This isn't just another medical show; it's an ongoing exercise in intellectual clarity for practical application.
