how are you going
all the things that we could or should
be worried about a recent survey has
shown that what concerns Australians
most is health
why is that I mean we're celebrated
around the world for our great outdoors
and glowing good health
but for many of us
the reality is a very different story
today nearly 50 percent of Australians
are living with long-term illness
and these illnesses are killing us
[Music]
we're a wealthy country with a
world-class Health System
so how is this possible as a doctor I
really do believe that the deck of cards
are stacked against Australians when it
comes to achieving good health if you
need if if you need I'm Magda shabinsky
and I've been lucky enough to have spent
most of my life making Australians laugh
I've also had some very public battles
with diet culture and my weight
now why you say should I listen to Magda
of all people talk about health well
I'll tell you why because I am one of
that 50 percent
for decades I've had my struggles with
illness so I want to know why are we as
a nation so unhealthy
and what can we do about it
and that's why we're setting up this
magda's big health check HQ and this
will be my base as I set up in search of
some answers to Big questions this is
concentrated sugar
in this series it affects your health
what suburb you live in I'll be
uncovering some shocking truths kids are
taking notice of these ads wow they're
hauling the wool over your eyes and your
bloody kids I'll meet people who are
fighting back come and have your heart
check for free that's a better way do
you pay for this one no no it's free I
love a freebie I'll confront my own
health issues if you have chest pain I
want you to call Triple zero
and I will challenge government to be
part of the solution if people are
relying on these processed foods then
these statistics are just going to get
worse we're not doing it quite like
Gwyneth Paltrow but
absolutely
magda's got chest pain
it's going to be quite a journey and I
want you to come with me
