Nutritionist and Odi founder Gina Urlich returns to Slow It Down this week to chat about the new range of baby and kids food she's just released and how they can help you reduce the mental load when it comes to school lunches. 

Plus why the health star rating isn't as helpful as it pretends to be, and how Gina's pervious cancer diagnosis has changed her outlook on her health.

Toni Lodge is a dear, old friend of mine. We first met when I was working on the Jase & PJ show in Melbourne, but you probably know her from the Toni & Ryan podcast.

Welcome back to Slow It Down for 2026! I don't know about you but the holiday's went by far too quick, but I'm so excited for another year of inspiring chats on Slow It Down. I wanted to come out swinging with the first episode so I brought in the GOAT of women's health, Dr Libby.

Claudia Vavasaur is a registered dietician who specialises in fertility and women's health. The topic of women's health can be so overwhelming with a ton of conflicting information, so I wanted to try and cover as many different topics in this episode. 

We chat about how much protein we actually need in our diet, why seed oils aren't as bad as people often say, how to reduce the toxic load in your body and so, so much more.&nb...

I was so taken aback by Hannah's writing online about the grief of the end of a relationship and sharing custody of her kids that I knew I had to talk to her.
