    Next of Kin with Casey Beros

    Weight Loss Medication: What you NEED to know with Lynsey Koch

    Weight after 40 can feel like an uphill battle. Hormones shift, metabolism slows, and what worked in our 20s simply doesn’t cut it anymore. In this episode, we dive deep into the role of weight loss medications — including GLP-1s like Mounjaro and Ozempic — and what women over 40 need to know before considering them. We explore how these medications actually work in the body, who they’re designed for, and the risks and side effects that often get overlooked. Just as importantly, we discuss why medication alone isn’t the answer — and how nutrition, and strength training must be part of the…

    A grown ups GAP YEAR with Monique Van Tulder

    At 54, exhausted and running on empty, Monique van Tulder did something radical — she walked away from the life that was draining her. What started as a small step — changing lightbulbs in another house — turned into five months of solitude, adventure, and self-discovery. She calls it A Grown Up’s Gap Year. In this conversation, Monique shares the truth so many women over 50 will recognise: years of putting everyone else first, of pushing through fatigue and health scares, of saying yes when they wanted to say no. Her story begins not with adventure, but with depletion — thyroid cancer, low…

    The Future of Cancer Care Has Arrived with Professor David Thomas

    Cancer. It’s a word that stops us in our tracks — bringing fear, grief, or uncertainty depending on our own story. And as we age, that word carries even more weight. Despite decades of research, cancer still feels mysterious to many of us, and the “one-size-fits-all” treatments of the past haven’t been enough. That’s why this episode is so important. We sit down with Professor David Thomas — one of the world’s leading “cancer detectives,” the driving force behind Omico and Australia’s largest cancer genomics programs. His vision? To make personalised cancer treatment the standard of care for…
