There is a real disconnect between the food that is supplied in hospitals and Assisting Living Homes and the health of the human body. Most of the food is packaged filled with modifications, additives, preservatives, flavours, GM foods and much more. The cost is around $9.00 a day per person and that includes any supplements, plates, forks and serviettes. The Up For A Chat girls decide to talk about this national disgrace and give advice on how you can survive a hospital visit, whether it is an emergency or planned. Listen in on how they change the paradigm of a stay in hospital and the directives that you should write down in order to survive hospital food.

It is suggested by one of the Up For A Chat listeners to do a podcast on “midlife crisis” – surely the girls have never had one and what would they know?

From the definition Kim, Carren and Cyndi realise they have had many in their lives and believe it’s not bad to have a mid life crisis but the key is to not remain in the crisis. There is some frivolity and laughter in the beginning and then the seriousness of a midlife crisis takes hold and the advise given by all three girls is mesmerising, thought provoking and life changing.
