David Letele: Finding the right kind of motivation

The Health Hub ·

2025/12/07

When it comes to improving our health, most of us know what we should be doing - eating better, moving more, sleeping well - but there is a good chance we might fail if we don't understand why we're doing it. What does long-lasting motivation look like? And what sort of motivation should we avoid to give us the best chance of staying on track?

Alex Flint: We're overcomplicating our health

The Health Hub ·

2025/11/30

Health seems to be overcomplicated these days - but does it really need to be? Everywhere you look you see another kind of diet, another 'must-have' exercise machine, a drink that can replace a meal, or a new gym programme that promises to finally solve all your problems. But truly, could the foundation of good health be as simple as a daily walk and eating whole foods? Why do so many people overlook what seem to be the staples of good health, instead going for expensive trends? LISTEN ABOVESee

John Cameron: Eat as much cholesterol as you'd like

The Health Hub ·

2025/11/23

It seems like everyone is protein obsessed at the moment. They're buying the special protein yoghurt, making cottage cheese breads and cakes, even protein ice cream. It almost feels like just another one of those things that we think are really important for a little while, before we move onto the next thing. Of course protein is important, but do we really need more than we'd get in a basic, balanced diet? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2025/11/16

Up here in Auckland we've been having some very, very hot and humid nights. The kind of nights that make it impossible to get comfortable, where you just keep tossing and turning until you eventually give up and add an extra fan to your direction. And it's only going to get worse as we head into summer - so how do we actually get a decent night's sleep when the weather's working against us?

Greg Pain: The things you can do to avoid injuries

The Health Hub ·

2025/10/26

Injuries are one of those things that most of us only think about after it's too late. There are many obvious and common causes for injuries, and often, all it takes to avoid these injuries is a bit of a stretch or more focus on your core strength.

Alex Flint: Exerising just isn't enough for weight loss

The Health Hub ·

2025/10/12

It's no secret that as we get older, our metabolism slows down a bit, and staying in shape just gets harder to do - from keeping lean, maintaining muscle, and removing stubborn fat. Ricky Gervais had a tweet about how he's working out everyday now - playing tennis, lifting weights and running. His heart's good, and he trains at a good intensity - but he wonders why he's stil overweight and exhausted? We could just stay in the gym for longer - but not everyone's got enough time in their day for

2025/10/05

It's mental health awareness week from tomorrow, and you might ask what the hell has it to do with nutrition, but food has more to do with your mood than people realise. The types of foods you consume can have a not only an impact on your physical health, but your mental health too. What kind of foods make you feel better, inside and out? And what are those comfort foods you just can't let go of? Nutritionist Claire Turnbull joined Tim Beveridge for The Health Hub. LISTEN ABOVESee

Dr Michel Neeff: We're too casual about our hearing

The Health Hub ·

2025/09/21

The World Health Organisation estimates over a billion people between the ages of 12 and 35 are at high risk of hearing loss due to unsafe habits. The key cause for the age group is simply listening to music for too long, and too loudly, in headphones or earbuds. Even a movie cinema is likely to have unsafe sound levels.

2025/09/14

One of the most challenging parts of being an adult is trying to figure out what you're going to eat, three times a day, every day, when you're often too busy to make anything more substantial than beans on toast. Regardless, we continue the mental battle every single day, trying to figure out a way to whip up something relatively healthy before the next sport drop off.

We know we should be doing as much exercise as possible, but for most of us it's just not possibleto run for an hour a day and find time for weightlifting. For those of us sitting at a desk for most of the day, and another good portion of it sitting in traffic, what is the bare minimum amount of movement we should be doing?

2025/08/17

Alcohol has been a problem in New Zealand for a while, and it may be time for a reality check. A study out of the United States found only 54% of adults consume alcohol, the lowest ever recorded since tracking began in 1939. A study in New Zealand found it to be 76.3% here - so where is the gap, and when will we finally do something about it? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2025/08/10

We all want to see the next generation thrive - to do better than generations before. But there are a whole host of barriers holding children back, stopping them from reaching their full potential, and creating cycles that continue through generations. We always say children are our future, so why are we not doing more to support that future? Sir Ashley Bloomfield joins Tim Beveridge for Health Hub...
