Breast Cancer Awareness Month isn't just pink ribbons and reminders to "get checked" 🎗️

Here's the stuff that actually matters: who's eligible, what a mammogram really involves, and why 20 uncomfortable minutes could be the most important appointment you book all year.

1 in 7 Australian women will hear those words in their lifetime. Survival rates have never been higher — and screening is a huge part of why.

If it's been longer than two years since your last mammogram (or you've never had one), this is your sign. Book it in.

Tag someone who needs to see this. Sometimes all it takes is a nudge from a mate.

🥞 Gluten-free protein pancakes that don't taste like a compromise

Buckwheat flour is doing some quiet heavy lifting in this recipe — naturally gluten-free, but also a genuinely good source of magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and more protein and fibre than your standard wheat or oat flour. Basically the flour equivalent of an overachiever.

Add a scoop of at.health Vanilla Protein into the mix and you've got a pancake stack that's actually doing something for you, not just filling a plate.

Fold 'em taco-style, pile on fresh berries, banana, maple syrup and coconut yoghurt, and you've got a weekend breakfast that photographs well and holds you over till lunch.

Good news — you can get your .health Vanilla Protein (and everything else in this recipe) right here at Gr8 Health 🙌

Save this one for your next slow Sunday morning.

Nothing dramatic happens the day you turn 50. But the decade around it? That's when a few quiet processes start compounding — bone density, muscle mass, absorption — all asking for a slightly more deliberate approach than your 30s ever needed. 💪

The supplement aisle doesn't help. It's mostly noise, built for trends rather than what actually matters at this stage. So we cut it down to five that genuinely earn a spot on the bench — not because they're trending, but because the evidence (and the biology) backs them up.

Swipe through for the lineup: the vitamin D pairing everyone gets half-right, the B-complex doing invisible heavy lifting, the mineral duo your prostate will thank you for, and the one mineral that might be the most underrated of the lot.

Talk to a naturopath before adding anything new, especially if you're already on medication. Then build from here. 🙌

Spring's here, and so is the sneezing. 🌸🤧

If your eyes are itchy and your nose won't stop running, meet quercetin — nature's antihistamine. Found in onions, apples and capers, it has natural anti-inflammatory properties that may help ease seasonal symptoms as pollen counts climb.

Small dietary tweaks can make a real difference this time of year. Add it to your plate before the sniffles add themselves to your calendar. 🗓️

September is Save the Koala Month 🐨

Meet the adorable Mum & Bub duo - Clarabel & Thomas. ❤️

Clarabel, 8, and her six-month-old Joey Thomas were recently rushed to Currumbin Wildlife Hospital with serious injuries after being struck by a train in Ormeau. Clarabel had suffered a haemabdomen, skull fracture and head trauma, while Thomas sustained a pelvis fracture and head trauma, sparking weeks of round-the-clock care in the hospital's intensive care unit.

After stabilizing in ICU, mum and joey were transferred to koala rehab, building up strength and confidence before their release back into the wild at Ormeau.

This Save the Koala Month (and Save the Koala Day on the 25th of September) we’re encouraging everyone to donate to our Tree to Me program.

With around 400 Koalas admitted every year, the demand for fresh, nutritious eucalyptus leaves is enormous. Our gum cutters and vet nurses go to great lengths to select several types of gum every day to keep the Hospital patients happy. 😌

Please save Koalas by donating today at currumbinwildlifehospital.org.au ��
