Health Versus Wealth With Dr Ben

Dr Elisa Astorri, MD, PhD, is a Rheumatology specialist concentrating in all aspects of rheumatology ranging from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, back pain, gout, Lupus, Sjogren’s Syndrome, Ankylosing spondylitis, fibromyalgia and osteoporosis. 

She’s the Founder of her own clinic, Rheumatology Harley Street, which she launched seven years ago. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, she grew up in Rome, studied there and in France before moving to London in her early 20s. She’s always wanted to be a doctor, since aged 13-14, and now treat patients with chronic conditions from all around the world, which she says is “very rewarding”. 

Scoring her own health 8 or 9 out of 10, a mother of 3 kids, aged 13, 9 and 3, Dr Astorri was amused when asked by podcast host Dr Ben about her diet. “That’s a naughty question!”, she said. “I tell my patients to eat healthily but my own dinners are often my kids’ leftovers. I love chicken nuggets!”
