Number 1: Your Bladder Has Been Trying To Get Your Attention
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.

Number 3: Full Plate - Life Changing Potatoes & The Power Of Ice Water With Firefighter Karen Moore
In this episode of Full Plate, Liz Ellis sits down with Karen Moore, a firefighter stationed in one of Western Sydney’s busiest districts. After a decade in a corporate office, Karen made the life-changing leap to firefighting at age 43. Now, her "office" involves extreme heat, heavy gear, and 24-hour shifts where the call to action can come at any second. We dive deep into why Karen traded a stable corporate career for the frontline in her forties and the physical and mental stamina required to maintain that transition. Karen shares what it’s actually like to fuel a team in a high-pressure fire station environment, explaining why "Mexican night" is the secret to team cohesion and why communal eating remains the backbone of station life. She also reveals her specific 3:00 AM "cold water" trick for waking up her brain during a grueling night shift and how she manages the mental "switch" from frontline emergency responder to being a mum at home. To keep her own full plate from overflowing, Karen discusses being a creature of habit and why she prioritizes screen-free family time. Win a $1000 voucher!

Number 4: Full Plate: The Perfect Bowl Of Cereal, Chilli Honey On Eggs And A 90-Year-Old Housemate With Teigan O’Shannassey
Professional athlete and nutritionist, Teigan O'Shannassy is a cereal expert and ex-perfectionist with a very full plate - who also has a 90 year old housemate. In this episode, host Liz Ellis, former netball champion turned busy mum, sits down with the NSW Swifts defender to talk about life at "game on" pace. Balancing elite sport with the mental load of her business, Tossed Together, Teigan discusses the reality of living in a multi-generational household where the biggest daily challenge is often negotiating dinner time with her Nanny. They explore how she manages an overflowing plate while refusing to live by a rigid meal plan, moving instead toward a flexible, soul-nourishing approach to food. You’ll hear practical survival strategies from a professional athlete, from Teigan’s "cereal sommelier" midnight snacks to her reliance on frozen vegetables when the mental load of cooking feels too heavy. Reflecting on her journey through eating disorder recovery, Teigan shares how she moved from viewing food as a source of stress to a tool for connection. It’s an honest look at staying nourished under pressure, featuring everything from the glory of chili honey on eggs to the essential art of the sunset mental reset.

Number 5: There's Plastic In Our Bodies. Now What?
What if the plastic container you're heating your leftover lunch in is actively rewriting your hormones? Environmental chemist Dr Paul Harvey unpacks the terrifying reality of microplastics, explaining how these tiny particles act like "micro knives," physically scratching our delicate gut lining and leaching creepy, hormone-disrupting chemicals into our system. Food scientist Dr Emma Beckett also weighs in, offering a much-needed reality check on balancing plastic panic with actual food safety. Then, we dive into "matressence," the massive, identity-shifting transition into motherhood. It turns out "baby brain" isn't a myth or a social media trend; real neuroimaging shows a mother's brain structurally prunes its grey matter to specialise for a baby, right as estrogen and progesterone drop off a perimenopause-level cliff.
