Health Versus Wealth With Dr Ben

Cloudy Galvez, aged 27, describes herself as a “musician, songwriter and educator”. Born in Reading, Berkshire. she started learning the piano at age 6 and she got her first guitar, a bright pink & electric one, when she was 11. Now a successful, still up-and-coming artist, Cloudy has pioneered a new sound she calls “progressive soul with a touch of pop”. She has also just formed a new band named ‘What Do You Fancy?’. They perform at weddings, parties and corporate functions. As the name suggests, the ‘business model’ is that she invites clients to make song requests on the spot at the gig, or else to send in their playlist requests in advance. The band’s success (performing up to 12 gigs a WEEK) puts pressure on many areas of Cloudy’s health & lifestyle (eg, sleep, diet, exercise) and she speaks openly about them with Dr Ben in this episode. Cloudy’s life is still also affected by her continuing struggles with Long Covid, which developed after she caught Covid in March 2020.
