Dr Libby Weaver is biochemist, nutritionist, and author, and her latest book ‘Fix Iron First’ delves into the role of iron in the body, and how a deficiency could be impacting your life.

Kiwis will be able to experience the drama as ‘Nine Perfect Strangers’ returns for a second season.

Nicole Kidman’s Masha Dmitrichenko has invited a new cast of characters to join a transformational wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps, pushing them to the brink over the course of a week.

Annie Murphy and Murray Bartlett are among the cast, playing alongside Henry Golding, Lena Olin, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong, Aras Aydin, and of course, Nicole Kidman.

For Murphy, the ensemble nature was a huge draw, telling Mike Hosking she was thrilled by the prospect.

“We were there for six months Munich, with a whole bunch of really talented, really theatre, dorky actors... I was thrilled.”

Bartlett was also excited to be a part of the show, having watched and “devoured” the first season.

Season 2 will be releasing on May 22nd worldwide on Amazon Prime.

Outgoing New Zealand Rugby boss Mark Robinson believes he's leaving the game in a better place than he found it.

He's confirmed he will leave the job at the end of the year, bringing to an end a six-year tenure that started just before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Robinson says he's proud of what's been achieved during a turbulent period.

He told Mike Hosking that the next six months are critical for their role both domestically and internationally, with both their involvement in the establishment of international calendars and competitions as well as the opportunity they have to reset the financial model for the New Zealand game.

Robinson likes to think those would both be signed off by the end of the year, and that in conjunction with his family moving over to Australia, makes him feel it’s time to move on.
