The duo meet Theresa Loo, Pharmacist, Health Coach & Podcaster at PharmacistEdit. Born in Malaysia, she graduated as a pharmacist in New Zealand and gained experience in the UK before moving to Australia. Theresa Loo is the eldest of 3 girls, and has enjoyed a diverse career in pharmacy in the community, hospital and education fields. Her passion lies in preventative medicine having had contact with so many patients with complications from chronic disease - it was heart-wrenching for her to see them go through the journey. So she thought she could make more of an impact in early intervention to prevent the complications of chronic disease. She focuses on type 2 diabetes. Could it because both her grandfathers suffered from the complications of type 2 diabetes? She will join us shortly to share why she’s all in to prevent and keep diabetes in remission! On a side note, husband and her have 3 chickens; Snap, Crackle and Pop, and enjoy being part of the self-sufficient community in Brisbane.

As a pharmacist and health coach, Therese facilitates your why, helps you dig deeper into what’s holding you back and supports you to create sustainable change so you can reach your health goals. She has a special interest in reversing and preventing chronic disease through diet, lifestyle and nutrition. Her own health journey has opened her eyes to the strengths and weakness of mainstream as well as alternative therapies. Her philosophy is to treat the root cause of the condition, utilising all therapies. Her health coaching sessions are available via Zoom or TeleHealth.

Hello 2022! We welcome the new year with a special Korean podcast version of highlights from Season 1 of The Kurang Manis (Sugar, Less) Podcast, voiced by four students of one of South Korea's oldest private universities, Chosun University in Gwangju. The students were mentored by podcast co-hosts Nikki Yeo and Jasmine Low over a month, where they spent hours researching the topics, discussed as a group, translated articles from English to Korean (www.asiafitnesstoday.com/sugarless) and lent their voices to this recording. We hope this outreach will play a significant role in halving NCDs in the APAC region - as per Asia Fitness Today's MISSION 2030.

Meet Kuala Lumpur based Dr. YokeLi Ling, a passionate Sleep and Airway Centric Dentist who advocates prevention and rehabilitation of poor facial and jaw growth and development that results in dental misalignment, sleep disordered breathing, and compromised systemic health that could even lead to chronic diseases like hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes. She advocates for oral myofunctional therapy, incorporating it into the treatment of orofacial myofunctional disorders, and dental sleep medicine for both children and adults. An inspiring episode that urges immediate action if you, your spouse or your child are mouth breathers.

"I would like to introduce a broader concept of the dentist as an oral physician, a gatekeeper to the wellness of systemic health through the mouth" - Dr. YL Ling
