  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.

  How Aimee Learned To Trust Her Body That Rejected Almost Everything 05.07.2026 40min

  What does it actually look like to live, heal, and thrive when your physical health has been pushed to the absolute limit? In this episode, we sit down with Aimee Morrisby, who shares her extraordinary, radical journey of body survival and transformation. Born with a rare condition that left her missing the vital ganglion cells in her digestive tract, Aimee spent her entire childhood navigating severe medical trauma, culminating in a major surgery that left her with a permanent ileostomy and just 60 centimetres of small bowel. Aimee opens up about the deep emotional realities of her fertility journey, the profound gift of sisterly surrogacy that brought her healthy daughter into the world, and the terrifying moment she decided to walk away from her career, go cold turkey on chronic pain medications, and radically rewrite her own health from the inside out.  GET IN TOUCH Sign up to the Well Newsletter to receive your weekly dose of trusted health expertise without the medical jargon.

  Why Your Face Is Reacting To What’s Happening In Your Gut 30.06.2026 21min

  Is your skincare routine actually working against you? In this episode of Well, we dive into the fascinating world of the gut-skin axis - the very real internal superhighway connecting your microbiome straight to your face. Dr Mariam breaks down the actual science of probiotics, explaining why grabbing whatever is on special at the chemist won't fix targeted skin issues. Plus, they are joined by functional medicine practitioner Victoria Pavasovic to discuss why your skin might literally be "screaming" at you. Victoria reveals the major mistakes we are all making when it comes to overtreating our skin clinics, why drinking litres of water without electrolytes is a myth, and the simple "three questions" you need to ask yourself before every single meal to heal your body from the inside out.

  The Surprising Link Between Your DNA And Your Gut 23.06.2026 24min

  Can your genes influence what you eat, how your gut works, and even why coriander tastes like soap to some people? This week on Well, food and nutrition scientist Dr Emma Beckett cuts through the noise around gut health and explains what the science actually says. From probiotics and Greek yoghurt to taste receptors hidden throughout your gut, we unpack the surprising ways genetics shape our relationship with food. Dr Beckett reveals why one-size-fits-all nutrition advice doesn't work, what the microbiome can (and can't) tell us about health, and why the wellness industry's obsession with gut hacks may be missing the point. Plus, Dr Mariam answers a listener's question about constipation, ageing and menopause, and explains why some gut symptoms deserve a closer look.

  There's Plastic In Our Bodies. Now What? 16.06.2026 19min

  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.

  Julie Goodwin Has Changed 10.11.2025 1h 3min

  Change is happening to our bodies and our minds and our careers and our relationships. And sometimes, the changes we decide to make can alter a life we thought we had mapped out for us.  Today, we're talking about what happens when midlife women stop performing and start becoming. When we shed the things we don't need, including the opinions of people who don't matter. When we realise we've got choices here, even if some of them will be hard.  And yes, we talk about how, as a woman in the public eye, that's never truer than if you dare to change your body.  It's an exceptionally honest conversation about identity, courage, and growth with Julie Goodwin, the person with whom this podcast all began.  THE END BITS:  Mamamia wants to hear about your financial wellbeing and how you're feeling about the future.

  The Question You Need To Answer To Find 'Real' Success 03.11.2025 55min

  What makes a life successful? Is it the promotion, the postcode, the likes that light up your phone? That’s the story we’ve been sold, isn’t it? Kemi Nekvapil is successful—but not in the way you might think. Yes, she’s one of Australia’s leading executive coaches and the author of the powerful book Grounded Success. But to Kemi—who was homeless at 13 and who now lives on a daffodil farm in regional Victoria—success is something deeper. Her success is that she’s built a life rich in purpose and peace. In this conversation, she shares how to recognise a “full-body yes”—those moments when your entire being says this is right—and why keeping death close can actually lead to a more vibrant, meaningful life.

  The Gap Year That Saved A Marriage 27.10.2025 1h

  The invisible woman still leaves quite a gap when she disappears. You might not have seen her smoothing your path this morning, ensuring clean clothes, full bellies, and petrol in cars. She paid bills, kept WiFi flowing, Netflix streaming, remembered gym renewals and doctor's appointments—putting herself last on every list. Until she doesn't. When the invisible woman packs her bags and buggers right off, suddenly her space becomes blindingly clear. Meet Monique van Tulder—mum, wife, woman who forgot to live her life. She took a grown-up gap year, went to change lightbulbs, and didn't return for months. Her sons call it "the time mum got mad and took off." She calls it life-changing—saving her marriage by renegotiating it entirely.

Two years ago, an ordinary Tuesday night became the night that split Paula's life into 'before' and 'after'.

  And Just Like That… it's over. Welcome to the MID view of the end of the Sex and the City universe — forever. She's been our problematic friend for 27 years now, hasn't she? Carrie Bradshaw, with her impossible shoes and even more impossible romantic choices. But the truth we always knew? Carrie was never meant to be aspirational. She was meant to be us. Messy, self-absorbed, making terrible decisions in great outfits. She mirrored our romantic disasters, our ambition, our fear of aging — and somehow made it all look glamorous. But now? It’s time to put down the mirror and walk away.
