Fiber Maxing, Japanese Interval Walking & Jaw Pain

Ready to seperate health facts from wellness fiction? Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney are unpacking why Japanese interval walking is taking over social media as a low-impact fitness trend, how to hit your daily fibre target by "fibremaxxing" with real foods instead of artificial supplements, and a surprising over-the-counter hack for treating painful eye styes using warm compresses and baby shampoo.

In Are You Well? Dr Ginni tackles a condition one in eight Australians live with but nobody talks about (recurrent genital herpes), and why humiliation shouldn't stop you from accessing simple preventative treatments, plus why clenching your jaw at night is causing morning headaches and what your dentist can do about it.

And in Asking for a Friend, Ginni answers your real-life questions, from practical ways to retrain your attention span when notifications destroy your focus, to knowing whether your health routine needs a complete overhaul or if it's time to check in with a doctor for baseline burnout.
