    Magda Szubanski’s mission for a healthier Australia

    Magda Szubanski did not know what she was getting herself into when she agreed to host a national TV event on health in Australia. And she definitely didn’t know she’d walk away with a new health-obsessed bestie, in Dr Sandro Demaio.  Together Magda and Sandro learned more and more about the barriers to health facing everyone in this country, and the project grew bigger and bigger.   Before she knew it, Magda herself was at the centre of the story, undergoing tests and receiving results on a national broadcast! So when we say Magda has lived experience of the topics covered in this season of In Good Health, we really mean it.   Now, Magda sits down with said bestie, Dr. Sandro Demaio, to reflect on what she’s learned about health this year, her vulnerability while making the show, and what she hopes to see for the future of health in Australia.    +++  In Good Health is a VicHealth podcast, produced by Deadset Studios.

    Let’s get physical – why we need to change how we think about physical activity

    Let’s say an old friend invites you to join their social netball league, and you’ve never played netball before. Are you super excited... or running for the hills?   In this episode of In Good Health, Dr Erica Randle from LaTrobe University’s Centre for Sport and Social Impact, wants us to shift how we think about getting active, leaving notions of whether we’re good enough to move our bodies, behind.  Erica shares some ideas and tools for anyone who wants to move more, or wants to help the people around them move more.   +++  In Good Health is a VicHealth podcast, produced by Deadset Studios.   You can find out more at https://vichealth.vic.gov.au/podcasts VicHealth acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land.

    How our ever-growing obsession with sleeping well is making us too anxious to sleep

    No blue light after 8pm! Chamomile tea before bed! Eight hours or more... or else!  In recent years, the world of sleep has become far less relaxed than you’d expect. Between wearable sleep trackers and an ever-growing obsession with self-optimisation, sleep has become the latest on a long list of activities you’ve done your whole life, but apparently should be doing better.   But what if trying so hard is making sleep harder to come by?   Dr Moira Junge, a registered health psychologist and the CEO of the Sleep Health Foundation, wants to set the record straight. She breaks down a listener’s sleep diary and explains the tools and tactics at play – and why you probably don’t need to use them all, all the time!   +++  In Good Health is a VicHealth podcast, produced by Deadset Studios.   You can find out more at https://vichealth.vic.gov.au/podcasts   VicHealth acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land.

    How social connection benefits our minds and our bodies

    Every Wednesday evening Vivien, Zach and Meg meet at a primary school in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. They set up the chairs, put the kettle on and distribute the sheets of music they’ll be singing from that night.  They’re part of a community choir, where singers from all walks of life gather to rehearse - no auditions necessary. Anyone is welcome, and that’s the point. It’s a place where people can come to make friends, socialise and connect with one another.   Even in this age of ultra-connectivity, young people have become the loneliest generation with far-reaching implications for their physical and mental wellbeing.   Director of Social Identity and Groups Network at the University of Queensland, Professor Catherine Haslam, unpacks why we feel lonely and what we can do about it.   +++  In Good Health is a VicHealth podcast, produced by Deadset Studios.   You can find out more at https://vichealth.vic.gov.au/podcasts VicHealth acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land.

  5. Is it time to change how we think about burnout?

    Is it time to change how we think about burnout?

    Maybe you know the feeling. A couple of stressful days turns into a couple of stressful weeks, then months... and sometimes even longer.   It doesn’t feel like stress anymore, more like exhaustion. You’re tired in your bones. So, are you burned out?  You might think of burnout as something that only happens in the workplace, but as our work life extends beyond the bounds of a regular 9-5, we’re discovering that burnout can look very different these days.  Tigist Kebede, a senior counsellor at Pola Psychology, explains how our thinking around burnout is changing, how to spot the warning signs and build your own burnout resilience amid all that overwhelm.  +++  If anything has been raised for you in this episode, check out the following organisation’s for support:  Beyond Blue  Black Dog Institute  Headspace  Lifeline  Reach Out    In Good Health is a VicHealth podcast, produced by Deadset Studios.   You can find out more at https://vichealth.vic.gov.au/podcasts  VicHealth acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land.

    Confused about food labels? You're not alone.

    It’s 6pm. Your workday was exhausting. Traffic was horrible.  And now you’re squeezing between other customers in the supermarket aisle, while you try to decipher exactly what’s in the food you’re about to buy. Unless you're a marketing and nutrition expert, you might have a tough time.  How do you know which product is healthier? What should you be looking out for in the ingredients list? And why does sugar have so many different names?   Dr Alexandra Chung, a qualified dietitian and food marketing researcher at Monash University, breaks down the techniques marketers use to get you to buy their products, and shares tactics to help you get what you actually need from your next trip to the grocery store.  +++  In Good Health is a VicHealth podcast, produced by Deadset Studios.   You can find out more at https://vichealth.vic.gov.au/podcasts   Find out about your food options.
