Why You Immediately Get Sick When You Take Time Off & The Health Benefits Of Kindness

Dr Ginni Mansberg and Cath Mahoney are back, ready to get to the bottom of the health headlines everyone’s talking about. From why you always fall sick the second you take time off, to the efficacy of the viral 'cortisol cocktail' trend, and why full-fat milk is finally losing its health villain status.

In Are You Well? we're diving into the alarming rise of early-onset cancers in young adults, and the surprisingly powerful impact that small acts of kindness have on lowering your stress and blood pressure. Plus, in Asking for a Friend, Dr Ginni answers your anonymous health questions including whether an ice-cold drink can trigger a mini hot flush and why your morning coffee sends you running to the toilet at lightning speed.
