A decade ago Taryn Brumfitt posted an unconventional before and after photo, which disrupted the diet industry, and since then, Taryn has created documentaries and programs to help women, children, and soon to be men, appreciate their bodies for what they can do, rather than what they look like. Taryn was recently awarded Australian of the Year, and through the criticism and backlash, she continues her mission, and brings her insight to The Wood Life.

Then, we’re tackling Winter wives tales… should you really ‘feed a cold, but starve a fever?’ or ‘gargle salt water to cure a sore throat’? Does chicken soup really have healing properties? Sam unpacks the origin of these wives tales and how much truth, if any, there is to them.
