Zeroing in on mental health with Mary Coustas & Dr Charlotte Keating

Here we delve into another aspect of our health that is perhaps less spoken about: mental health. Older people are more likely to experience contributing factors to depression and anxiety,  such as physical illness or personal loss, but how many seek help? In this episode, comedian Mary Coustas (aka Effie) shares her very personal story, and we get insight from clinical psychologist Dr Charlotte Keating on how to better care for your mental health.

Getting to the guts of it with Sarah Di Lorenzo & Tobie Puttock

In this episode we spotlight gut health, and all the normal, and more unusual, health issues connected to our digestive systems. We speak to clinical nutritionist and the author of The Gut Repair Plan, Sarah Di Lorenzo, plus Melbourne chef and founder of Made by Tobie, a home delivery meal service, Tobie Puttock.

Frequently asked questions with Dr Sam Hay, Dr Simon Grof & Mohammad Jomaa

Embarrassed about asking your doctor something? We’re doing it for you. Our experts are going to answer some of those concerns you might have that are a bit quirky, less dinner chat, more private google search type questions. Our expert doctors are getting the stigma out of the way and getting you on your way to a healthier life.
