Join us for an insightful workshop, where we explore the fascinating connection between stress and your body's metabolism. Learn how chronic stress can disrupt hormone balance, slow down metabolism, and even contribute to weight gain.
In this workshop, you'll learn:
•How stress hormones impact your metabolism and trigger weight gain
•The role of cortisol in fat storage and appetite regulation
•Ways stress-induced hormonal imbalances can affect your body composition
•Practical tips to manage stress, support hormonal balance, and maintain a healthy weight

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?

19% No. This would be impossible in practice.
