Healthy Living is an Australian health and wellness program produced by Nine Radio and broadcast primarily on Sydney’s 2GB. Hosted by cardiologist Dr. Ross Walker, the show addresses a range of medical and lifestyle issues tailored for an Australian audience. Dr. Walker, a practitioner with over 40 years of experience in cardiology, focuses on preventative medicine and integrative health strategies. The program serves as a platform for disseminating information on physical health, mental wellbeing, and medical advancements.
The show's structure consists of long-form discussions and interactive elements. Each episode typically features interviews with various healthcare professionals, including oncologists, sleep specialists, and researchers, who provide information on specific health conditions and emerging treatments. Common topics discussed include cardiovascular health, longevity, pediatric care, and nutritional science. A core part of the broadcast is the live talkback segment, which allows members of the public to call in and discuss general health concerns or seek clarification on medical topics.
In addition to the live Sunday evening broadcast, the podcast features edited segments that highlight specific interviews and health alerts. These segments often cover public health initiatives, such as vaccination programs or cancer screening awareness. The program also investigates the role of technology in modern medicine, including genomic testing and data-driven health analysis.
Healthy Living is syndicated across the Nine Radio network, reaching listeners in major cities including Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Canberra. The editorial focus remains on providing evidence-based information regarding chronic disease management and preventative lifestyle habits. By presenting medical information in a direct format, the show informs listeners about the health landscape in Australia and the options available for health maintenance and disease prevention.
