Missed your weekly dose of health news? In What The Health? Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney are unpacking the stories everyone’s talking about, from why ultra-processed foods might actually be wearing out your brain cells, to how to manage a painful rosacea flare when your skin is burning.

They also look at wellness’s latest obsession with nervous system regulation, revealing the simple hacks that can instantly switch off your stress response. And, Dr Ginni breaks down the latest research on hair growth supplements and whether they're worth a spot in your shopping trolley.

Then, in Asking for a Friend, the hosts tackle whether ice baths are a legitimate bio-hack and where to turn when you are beyond exhausted but your doctor says your blood work is completely normal.
