👉 Vanessa Lloyd Platt has seen it all—from high-profile splits to deeply personal breakdowns. As one of the UK’s most sought-after family lawyers, she brings decades of experience, candour, and compassion to the often-overlooked health impacts of divorce. In this episode, she joins Dr Hilary for an eye-opening conversation about why divorce doesn’t just break hearts—it can break your health. From the emotional toll of loneliness and insomnia to the physical risks like diabetes and heart disease, Vanessa explains why managing expectations, mental well-being, and nutrition during separation is critical. Together, they explore the pitfalls of bad legal advice, the psychological fallout of modern “no-fault” divorces, and why mediation and support systems are more essential than ever. Vanessa also shares her campaign for grandchildren’s rights, the surprisingly different ways men and women cope, and her holistic approach to helping clients survive—and thrive—post-divorce. 💬 Ask Dr Hilary.
