The House of Wellness – Season 6, Episode 27

This week’s episode of The House of Wellness is brimming with footy fever as the AFL Grand Final looms. 

Restless Legs Awareness Day is also taking place this week, helping to put the spotlight on a mysterious condition that keeps sufferers awake at night.

Jacqui Felgate gives us the latest health round-up; from life-saving kidney transplants from across the ditch, to putting the lens on Kenya, where discarded rubber thongs are being turned into art. 

With spring finally sprung, Australians anticipate the return of warmer weather and pollen, much to the aggravation of those who experience hay fever. A leading respiratory specialist speaks about the impact of the condition, which affects millions of Australians. 

September is also Blood Cancer Month, which inspired Dr Isabelle Carr to investigate myeloma, a rare type of blood cancer that affects around 18,000 Aussies. 

Have you lost your mojo for running? Take a jog with former NRL star Ben Lucas, whose passion for the activity will get you back on course in no time.

Plus, our Chemist Warehouse running team hits the pavement to raise money for My Room, the volunteer-led charity that supports kids and families affected by cancer. 

And don’t miss the AFLW’s youngest recruit and the Bomber’s newest talent, Amber Clark.

Join Jo, Jacqui, Luke, and Dr Nick Carr for an hour of health and wellness this week. 

Cast: Luke Darcy, Jo Stanley, Jacqui Felgate and Dr Nick Carr with Luke Hines, Gerald Quigley and Sarah Davidson.
