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.

Why You're Waking At 3 AM & What To Do About It

Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney separate health fact from fiction, unpacking a promising breakthrough in cancer prevention, what your grip strength really says about your health, and whether bone broth and olive oil deserve their wellness halo.

Then, they reveal why midlife belly fat is different, what really drives hormonal migraines, and why sleep, stress, and strength training matter more than you think.

Plus, in Asking for a Friend, Dr Ginni answers two questions women ask all the time: are bladder leaks ever normal, and why are you still exhausted after eight hours of sleep?

The Hidden Hormone Trigger Behind Your Migraines

Missed your weekly dose of health news? In What The Health, GP Dr Ginni Mansberg and comedian Cath Mahoney are unpacking the stories everyone’s talking about—from why HRT patches are still hard to find and what alternatives are finally arriving, to the simple strength training “sweet spot” linked to a longer, healthier life.

They’re also getting to the bottom of a viral TikTok trend: can testosterone cream really give you better skin, or is it a recipe for breakouts and unwanted hair?

In Are You Well?, Dr Ginni reveals how much water women actually need, why dehydration can leave you feeling flat and foggy, and the warning signs of pre-diabetes that many people miss.

And in Asking for a Friend, she answers your real-life questions—from spotting with Mirena to unexpected odours and whether perimenopausal brain fog is normal or something more serious.
