About this episode

In this thought-provoking episode, the crew welcomes Michael Dewson to tackle one of the most polarising topics in health: Why don’t more Australians exercise? Is it laziness, lack of education, or a failure of public health policy?We unpack fresh ideas that go far beyond the usual ā€œjust move moreā€ advice — from rethinking how Medicare could support preventive exercise, to the hidden friction points that stop people from ever stepping into a gym. Is it really a matter of personal responsibility, or is the system set up to fail us?šŸ” Topics discussed:Why ā€œlazinessā€ is often a symptom, not the causeWhether the government should shift focus from adults to children’s healthWhy education alone doesn’t lead to actionShould private health insurers and Medicare subsidise gym memberships?What real support and motivation actually look likeThis episode will challenge assumptions, offer practical ideas, and help you rethink how we tackle Australia’s health crisis — one step (or squat) at a time.šŸ”— Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and all major platforms. šŸ“² Follow us on Instagram: @efm_health_club_podcast
