Peptides can benefit health by offering targeted benefits, such as weight loss (semaglutide), injury healing (BPC-157), and immune support - but there's risks involved too.

While FDA-approved peptides are generally safe under medical guidance, many others lack safety studies, and improperly sourced peptides may contain contaminants, leading to severe reactions.

Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara explained further.

Tommy Emmanuel's a big name in the acoustic guitar world, and he's set to start a new tour.

Throughout his career he’s performed with bands like Air Supply and Men at Work, headlined tours around the Globe and toured with Eric Clapton and John Denver.

Among his many career awards, he’s won a Grammy for best instrumental arrangement and is one of only 5 ever Chet Atkins certified guitar players.

His Living in the Light Tour starts in Auckland at the Town Hall tonight.

"I feel it's my calling to play for people, because when I play, people get happy. So I don't call it the music business, I call it the happiness business. I play, you get happy - everyone's happy."

Award-winning journalist Patrick Radden Keefe has made a name for himself by taking complex true crime stories -  mysterious deaths, greedy families or shadowy underworlds -and bringing them to light.

Patrick has written six books, all best sellers - with Empire of Pain and Say Nothing being the standouts.

His latest book is London Falling, a story of London teenager Zac Brettler who mysteriously fell to his death in 2019, and it's available in stores now. 

"Part of what I was trying to do with this book was look at the way in which any of us as parents, when we're parenting an adolescent  - particularly these days when everybody's on their phones - is that the child we thought we knew can start to become somebody unrecognisable."

Three Reasons for Revenge by Dervla McTiernan - a terrific crime thriller set in Melbourne, about Judith Lee, a detective who is drawn into a nasty case that has the police baffled. Alexis Turner walks into the police station to report an assault which Judith recognises as the mirror of an identical assault which was brought to her attention some years prior. Then three people (one of whom is Judith) each receive a beautifully wrapped box with an individually tailored, insidious gift inside which will tear their lives apart. Somehow, these things are connected and Judith embarks on a race against time to stop the perpetrator and save innocent lives. 

The Valley by Asher Emanuel - the culmination of over two years of field research and hundreds of hours of interviews, this extraordinary book follows three Hutt Valley men through courtrooms, prison, hospital, rehab, boarding houses and welfare offices, two of whom are recidivist offenders, the other being their legal aid lawyer. Told largely in verbatim dialogue, it’s a remarkable up-close and personal account bringing the realities of the New Zealand criminal justice system to life through the voices of those who experience it first-hand.
