Featured Guest: Rosa from Two Raw Sisters

Rosa from Two Raw Sisters joins the show to share a refreshing perspective on food, offering practical ways for Kiwis to regain their confidence and rediscover the absolute joy of cooking.

At a time when conflicting nutrition advice and the ever-rising cost of living can make mealtime feel like a stressful chore, Rosa is here to flip the script.

She dives into how their popular app and highly anticipated upcoming cookbook strip away the fuss, focusing entirely on simple, incredibly budget-friendly meals. Rosa champions the power of being "intelligently lazy" by utilizing everyday pantry staples and affordable produce.

Featured Guest: Justin Flitter

Justin Flitter from New Zealand AI breaks down how artificial intelligence is already quietly supporting the Kiwi health sector, from GP clinics to hospital emergency departments.

He emphasizes that AI tools like transcription services aren't replacing doctors, but rather relieving them of heavy administrative burdens so clinicians can spend more quality time with patients.

Justin also highlights the importance of using verified, clinical AI models to ensure data accuracy, safety, and public trust. 

Featured Guest: Strasha from Youthline

Youthline volunteer manager Stascha discusses the growing demand for youth mental health support across New Zealand and the vital role 24/7 helplines play.

She introduces "Walk the Talk," a 30-day fundraising challenge in September encouraging people to stay active and raise funds to ensure Youthline remains accessible to young people in need.

Stascha also shares advice on how parents can help facilitate open conversations with their children. 

Resident Pharmacist: Piyara Perera

Resident pharmacist Piyara offers helpful advice for keeping tamariki well, explaining why young children are more susceptible to catching common bugs and colds.

She dispels myths around treating fevers, emphasizes the importance of good old-fashioned handwashing, and outlines signs of seasonal allergies and rashes.

Piyara also addresses every parent's dread—head lice—sharing effective treatment options from wet-combing to pharmacy solutions.
