About Us

The Iron Prescription is hosted by 2 practicing NHS doctors, Lynette and Stuart who also work separately from the NHS as Personal Trainers.

We have different backgrounds and interests which brings a variety of opinions to the podcast but we both agree that fitter is better.

Dr Lynette Ewart

MBChB, MRCGP, PG Dip Diabetes, Strength & Health Coach.

I started working as a doctor in 2003 and qualified as a GP in 2007. I have additional training and experience in diabetes.

I have worked in many areas of medicine including forensic physician work, county-wide leadership and currently as a Medical Examiner in a local hospital .

My passion for strength training and the transformation it can bring to people's lives lead me to create Prescription Strength, which I now run as an online coaching business helping women to make strength part of their lives.

I still work as a doctor in the NHS alongside my coaching business.

I coach mostly beginners in strength training, if you are interested in working with me then email for more information.

Professor Stuart Maitland-Knibb

I'm an ex-military doctor specialising in remote and hostile environments, I've worked globally providing care to patients in all kinds of places, from mountains to deserts, from boats to helicopters.

I am a qualified GP and a consultant in pre hospital emergency medicine. When in the UK I work on HEMS ( the helicopter emergency medical service ) and also provide reach back medicine for global clients.

I'm also a qualified personal trainer and specialise in preparing clients for life adventures and dream holidays, from competing in your first triathlon event through to full distant Ironman. From a multi-day camping trip unsupported in the peak district through to climbing  Everest.

I am a true believer  in anything  is possible and however unrealistic YOU feel your dream is, I'll give you the tools and regime to achieve it.

I have competed in literally 100’s of  events around the world. 

I coach people for events and expeditions, if you are planning to train for something special or want next level coaching for your sport, enquire below.
