Prime Time with Bec Wilson

A guide to downsizing from your family home 

After 31 years presenting the ABC finance report and half a century in journalism, finance legend Alan Kohler recently made the massive announcement that he is stepping away from the nightly news desk. But don't call it retirement...he’s just changing gears on his own terms.

In this episode, I sit down with Alan to talk about what "stepping into your prime time" actually looks like when you've spent decades working at a breakneck pace. We discuss his move into podcasting with his son Chris, how he handles shifting identity as he turns 75, and why he’s choosing to keep doing what he loves rather than taking up golf.

Then, we dive into the big economic challenges on the horizon for Australia.

"I'm Free!": Alan Kohler on leaving the ABC, what's next & an economic outlook

Coming out of winter with a few extra kilos or jeans that are feeling a little too snug around the middle? I hear you! As spring kicks in, many of us want a total health reset... but the mountain of conflicting advice about cutting carbs, fasting, or doing endless cardio can feel overwhelming.

In this episode, I chat to accredited practising dietitian and exercise physiologist Angelique Clark, to cut through the noise and build a practical spring reset.

Angelique explains:
Why throwing out the bathroom scales is step one
How to actually measure your body composition
The truth about protein, fiber and weight training
Why dropping calories isn't the key to losing belly fat
The place for GLP-1s
