What are Australians actually buying at the supermarket? And how does this stack up against our nation's dietary guidelines?

In this episode, we’re joined by Healthylife's Chief Health Officer Simone Austin to unpack the 2024 Living Healthy Report. We learn (a lot!) about Australia's dietary habits - with Simone sharing some surprising insights along the way. 

Simone breaks down where Australians are hitting the mark, and where we’re falling short. She shares practical tips and 'can do' suggestions to inspire us all toward healthier eating habits. The perfect way to start the New Year!
