Medical documentary series. The doctor is called upon to get to the bottom of Ray's back pain and his five-year-old son's eczema.

The doctor is called upon to get to the bottom of Ray's back pain. He's been suffering for decades even though he looks fit and runs his own gym. By spending time with Ray at home and at work, the doctor discovers that Ray is taking a number of strong painkillers as a coping mechanism, and he's worried by what he sees. The doctor has to educate Ray about the dangers of painkillers at the same time as trying to find out what is at the heart of his mysterious back pain.

To complicate matters, the doctor undertakes another major detective story in the family. Ray and Rachel's five-year-old son Lucas has eczema, and no-one has been able to find out what is causing it.

The whole family's health is interlinked, and the doctor needs to come up with a plan to transform their health by making simple lifestyle changes - involving every aspect of their lives, from the moment they wake up to the way they sleep at night.

At the end of his intervention, the family undergo a series of tests to measure just how much impact the doctor's suggested lifestyle changes have had on their health.
