About this episode

Your postcode should never decide how long you live — yet it does, in a shocking national crisis where life expectancy gaps between rich and poor areas like Marylebone and Blackpool stretch up to 18 years. Dr. Amir Khan, who grew up in a working-class neighborhood, reveals how damp homes, financial stress, and lack of access to basics like healthy food and transport are crushing health — not just genetics. With a powerful art installation showing “expiry dates” for life based on zip code, he and Health Equals are rallying public and political support. Ninety-five percent agree this is unacceptable — and the fix isn’t pills, it’s policy: fixing housing, education, and equity so everyone can thrive, not just survive.
