Dr Joe's DIY Health is
founded on the principle that your health is directly influenced by how
you live your life. The decisions and choices you make about what you
put into your body, how active you are, how much rest and relaxation you
get and how you deal with stress impact on your health, vitality and wellbeing.
My
media activities include being a regular columnist in the West
Australian Newspaper, Guest reporter on Channel 7's Today/Tonight, radio
6PR mornings with Paul Murray and I am also their night line doctor. I
am on the advisory panel and contributor to Prevention Magazine, and am
spokesperson for Virtual Medical Centre.
In addition to this many of my articles are reproduced on other
