Don‘t Give A FiftyShow Notes
In episode #57, Mel and Trish rose at the crack of dawn to chat long distance with divine Dr Rudrani Banik from New York City about vision health and wellness and the connections between the eye and the brain.
Dr Rudrani is an ophthalmologist and neuro-ophthalmologist who practices a unique approach to vision and brain health. She discovered the benefits of combining traditional medical and surgical treatments of the eye with nutritional and lifestyle approaches after suffering debilitating migraines for more than three years. Dr Rudrani explains some of the key daily practices we can incorporate as midlife women and 50ishers to support good eye health & offers some simple solutions to common side-effects of menopause like ‘dry eye.’
Dr Rudrani is passionate about educating women on how best to achieve good eye health and is launching a book and online courses next month. Check her website and socials for more details.
Enjoy the intelligence and abundant knowledge of the divine Dr Rudrani.

More from Don‘t Give A Fifty
In RERUN episode #103, Mel and Trish were excited to sit down with life coach Susie Pettit to discuss people pleasing and co-dependency - what it is, how it shows up in midlife and how to deal with it. The more the girls chatted with Susie, the more ah-ha moments there were as they identified what was happening in their own lives. But the good stuff doesn’t end there. The chat then moved onto boundaries or guidelines as Susie calls them. What are they, how to deal with push-back and how are we getting them so wrong?
In DGAF RERUN episode #102 Mel and Trish jumped online with Tina Nettlefold, founder and creator of T.House, an online platform that sells a philanthropic range of unique, limited-edition homewares. Tina lives by the mantra ‘live big, love big,’ which for her means to do as much as you can and give as much as you can.
In DGAF RERUN episode #101, Mel and Trish were thrilled to chat with Melbourne’s most experienced personal stylist and wardrobe consultant, Sally Mackinnon. Sally’s very personable nature and undeniable knowledge were clearly evident in this super charged chat about the many facets of personal style & how it impacts us as 50ishers. The girls tackle the hot topic of body shapes, address budgets, and the important role stylists can play in the ultra-busy lives of the modern woman. Believe it or not, stylists actually save us money! As Sally says, “clothing is powerful, not frivolous.”
This RERUN was from episode #77 and in this episode Mel and Trish sit down with their long-term friend Lisa Curry to chat about, among other things, life, business, and hormones. Although Lisa is well known for her sporting achievements, television appearances and involvement on the speaking circuit, many don’t realise she is also a successful businesswoman.
Following on from an early episode in the ‘Don’t Give a Fifty’ back catalogue, episode #98 saw Mel & Trish in the studio with Trish’s nieces Matilda, Baillie and Mollie and her children, Lily and Wiley for a fun, educational chat about talking to our younger generations.
