Healthy-ish

Hands up whose energy levels are way down right now? Living through lockdown hasn’t been easy – especially for our Victorian pals – but it isn’t made easier when you can’t summon the energy to get out of bed, even after a solid eight hours of sleep. So why is that? Dietitian Melissa Meier explains how the food we eat (or don’t eat) can contribute to your energy levels. She gives us all an easy formula to feel full, energised and happy the whole day long. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If this pandemic has taught us nothing, it’s that change is an unavoidable part of life. Even though, sometimes, we may dread the idea of it, change can be good for us – as it pushes us to grow and evolve. Healthy-ish is changing too, with today marking the first of a new, shorter and snappier daily format. Body+Soul’s digital editor Alison Izzo will be your host, as she speaks to a range of health and wellness experts to help find the little things we can all do each day to make our life that little bit healthy…ish. Because, it’s all about balance. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
