This episode is for awareness and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice. Always seek guidance from a qualified doctor before testing or taking any medication.
In this week’s episode, Kori Tameifuna shares her Tongan husband’s journey with chronic Hepatitis B - a silent health issue affecting many Pacific families. We talk about how the virus is passed down, why those born in the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s should get tested, and the serious impact it has on the liver. We also discuss how kava and alcohol can worsen liver health without people realising.
Kori also gives honest marriage and family advice around boundaries, cultural pressures, kava, pickleball, late-night habits, and protecting your home. This is a powerful conversation every Pacific household needs to hear.
