Ever wondered how chefs and restaurant staff handle the high pressure environment of the kitchen, well on this weeks episode thanks to our friends at Good Health Vitamin D3, one of our guests has that answer for you. Mel is joined on the show by speakers, Nanotechnologist, and Science educator Dr Michelle Dickinson who you may know as Nanogirl, former MP turned owner of O-Studio wellness centre in Hawkes Bay Anna Lorck, the show's pharmacist Piyara Perera, and former Masterchef judge, TV personality, and entrepreneur Simon Gault.

Dr Michelle Dickinson Aka Nanogirl chats with Mel about one of the more underrated and underappreciated sides of health and wellness, cleaning. Dr Michelle makes sure that you are using the right cleaning products, what ingredients May be harmful when you look at the label, and what are the most important places to clean.

Former MP turned O-Studio wellness centre owner Anna Lorck goes in depth about her journey from the pressure cooker of Parliament to discovering a passion for wellness and even more specifically, the hot and cold plunge.

Our Resident Pharmacist Piyara talks about Protein and other Gym supplements. Mel often says "it's a full time job to get protein in" so Piyara makes sure that we can do that by having the right supplements ready to go. Piyara also makes sure you know the difference between Whey and Plant protein and also talks creatine.

And last but certainly not least, former Masterchef judge, TV Personality, and Entrepreneur Simon Gault chats to Mel about his wellness journey so far and what he is doing now. Simon talks about his incredible weight loss, how he has dealt and overcome type-2 Diabetes, what he is doing now with Gaults Deli and the 4 Wheels of Health course, and how he was able to handle the high pressure environment of a restaurant kitchen.
