In this episode of Well, Dr. Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney dive into the health headlines, from the truth about flavanols to the reality of IUD insertion pain and the viral ear-seeding trend.

They unpack why so many of us join the "3 AM Club". Learn actionable sleep-hygiene strategies to break the middle-of-the-night waking cycle without reaching for your phone.

And, they tackle listener health questions. Dr Ginni breaks down what actually causes late-afternoon belly bloating and explains why sudden rogue chin hairs might point to hormonal shifts like PCOS or perimenopause.

Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney are back, ready to get to the bottom of the health headlines everyone’s talking about. From why you always fall sick the second you take time off, to the efficacy of the viral 'cortisol cocktail' trend, and why full-fat milk is finally losing its health villain status.

In Are You Well? we're diving into the alarming rise of early-onset cancers in young adults, and the surprisingly powerful impact that small acts of kindness have on lowering your stress and blood pressure. Plus, in Asking for a Friend, Dr Ginni answers your anonymous health questions including whether an ice-cold drink can trigger a mini hot flush and why your morning coffee sends you running to the toilet at lightning speed.

Ready to separate medical facts from wellness fiction? Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney tackle the latest in health headlines, from an exciting Aussie-engineered technology changing the game for breast cancer surgery, to why late-diagnosed ADHD in women isn't just a trend, and the hidden health dangers of "supplement stacking." 

In Are You Well? Dr Ginni and Cath break down the real warning signs of dementia versus normal forgetfulness, and get into the nitty-gritty of armpit health - including why your sweat actually smells, the foods that trigger it and the surprising solution. Plus, in Asking for a Friend, they tackle the causes of low libido in your 30s, and why your hair is suddenly shedding everywhere.

Missed your weekly dose of health news? Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney are here to tackle the health headlines. From the (ahem) dark side of DIY skin-bleaching creams to whether putting cloves of garlic up your nose will cure a cold... and can knitting actually help rewire your nervous system?

In Are You Well? they dive into two common body quirks: what really causes varicose veins (and the modern treatments that don't involve major surgery), and why adult acne strikes in your 30s, 40s, and 50s. Dr Ginni breaks down the specific hormonal giveaways to look for on your face and the key skincare ingredients to use and avoid.

Plus, in Asking for a Friend, Dr Ginni answers your awkward real-life questions including what to do about sudden, unpredictable period cycles and what that embarrassingly loud "washing machine" noise in your stomach actually means.
