The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

I can't thank you enough for coming on the podcast.

It is honestly an honor. I would love to dive in with

a little bit of your background, which obviously, you know, to give some context to like where

you have ended up today. Sure. So my name is Charles Nduca. I'm a plastic surgeon by background, slightly unusual background,

I guess, to get into the area of technology for behaviour change. But ultimately, you know,

every doctor is trying to help patients. I started as a plastic surgeon just 20 years ago,

qualified 30 years ago. And I specialise in facial paralysis.

This is a condition that causes tremendous devastation to be people, lots of facial movements,

often due to Bels 40 or Lyme disease or Ramsey-Hunt syndrome, and auto tumors, accidents.

There are 60 different causes. It causes tremendous devastation, and I do surgery to help restore smiles, to help restore movement and symmetry.

For those who do not require surgery, there are other treatments.

We use Botox to help to deal with muscle spasms and to help to improve the facial symmetry.

And obviously, we treat patients in a holistic manner with psychology and facial physiotherapy.

And yeah, we support them with the charity we set up about 12 years ago for facial palsy UK.

That's brilliant.

It's incredible, I'm sure that I'm sure when you started, you had no idea that this is where you would end up, right?

No.

So.

No, it's what is a funny thing.

Basically, sorry, you're going to say.

No, go ahead.
