The first official show of 2018, where it really is OK to not be OK, I'm speaking with Mike Addison, owner and head trainer of local F45 Training Blackburn, which is the latest phenomenon in getting sustainably fit. Mike is not only speaking of his own journey to becoming one of Whitehorse/Boorondara's most inspiring trainers, but also the mental health benefits of being connected to F45 Training's local and global community.

We're also phoning in Jacques from Advance Coaching in the Gold Coast - he's a fitness industry expert who, only hours before, arrived home from Taipei, after opening the very first F45 Training Taichung. Jacques' unique business approach also helped Mike launch F45 Blackburn.

When we think about body image problems, eating disorders, and food management issues, our minds typically, turn to matters concerning women. My guest, Dan Lewin, is an accomplished dietitian and founder of The Men's Health Dietitian, an amazing service, dedicated to supporting men with food, eating and body image concerns. He's speaking with me, about these often hidden and alarmingly dismissed men’s issues, disclosing his own long and difficult journey to self acceptance and better health. Dan will also share some insights and tools around his helping philosophy which is grounded in a weight neutral non-diet approach, supporting men to develop a positive relationship with food and body. Remember, "It's OK to not be OK".

Joining me, where it really is “OK to not be OK” is Glenn Patrick, front man of Melbourne based band, Collegians, talking about the rocky, risky, yet rhapsodical world of rock music! He plays live in the studio, and introduces their 2nd, much anticipated single "Black Mass". This very song smashed into the Australian iTunes Rock charts at number 9.
