Deborah Hutton, former editor of The Australian Women's Weekly and founder of Balance by Deborah Hutton, has recently had a new book published and she dropped by to have a chat about Entertaining Made Easy with Deborah Hutton.

Deborah lets our listeners know what they can find in her new book, and she tells us why she thinks people find entertaining such a stressful thing to consider. She suggests that in our hyper-connected digital age we're actually more disconnected than ever, and also gives our listeners some entertaining 101 tips. Finally, Deborah shared a beautiful story about the couple on the front cover of her book, which may just inspire you to host a dinner party of your own!

Is stress preventing you from enjoying your daily life? Do you find that you’re becoming more distracted or forgetful? Are “the blues” sapping your spirits? Or do you simply feel not quite like yourself?

Dr Mike Dow is here to help with his new book, The Brain Fog Fix. Many of the foods we eat and the habits we have do not support our brains. We no longer get what we need in order to produce essential brain chemicals that keep us energized, calm, focused, optimistic, and inspired. And even worse, our choices could lead to long-term problems, like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and anxiety.

Fortunately, there is a solution. The Brain Fog Fix is an easy-to-follow three-week program designed to help naturally restore three of your brain’s most crucial hormones: serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol. Rebalancing these chemicals will in turn enable the rest of your brain’s chemistry to reach optimal levels.
