Luana Belmondo puts the avocado in the spotlight, a fruit native to Mexico with numerous health benefits. She offers us a recipe for gambas with cucumber and avocado purée, as well as an avocado panna cotta with strawberry salad.

Julie nous emmène en Bretagne sud et plus précisément dans le quartier maritime du Guilvinec pour faire avec vous la route du poisson depuis les filets jusqu’à vos assiettes. Le Guilvinec a beau être le premier port de pêche artisanale français, tous les bords de mers de l’hexagone réservent de bons produits de saison. Julie remonte donc en voiture pour découvrir dans le sud un certain nombre de poissons d’élevage dans une ferme aquacole en Méditerranée, tout en cuisinant le bar à Noirmoutier, la lotte dans le Nord et même le cabillaud dans l’immense marché de Rungis. Julie a challengé le Chef Olivier Bellin installé à Plomodiern dans le Finistère, pour qu’il cuisine un poisson méconnu : la vieille.

Our culinary journey through Seoul begins with the smoky, flavour-rich world of Korean BBQ, where sizzling plates and communal dining embody the social heart of Korean culture. From there, we explore one of Seoul’s most iconic fish markets, where we try fresh king crab and live octopus while learning how the country's coastal heritage shaped its food traditions. Next, we visit the bustling herbal medicine market, where shelves overflow with ginseng, roots, mushrooms, and medicinal teas used for centuries in Traditional Korean Medicine. Here, local practitioners explain how balance, Qi, and seasonal eating contribute to long-term health. Our journey ends in Seoul’s thriving coffee scene, tasting artisan brews before joining your friend Chris for a peaceful riverside walk and dessert. This episode reveals that in Korea, food is more than nourishment—it is community, medicine, memory, and identity.

Nous entamerons ce périple près de la Rochelle pour en apprendre un peu plus sur l’élevage des fameuses moules de bouchot mais aussi une technique bien particulière pour les cuisiner. Nous partirons ensuite pour un tour de France des meilleures huîtres : direction Cancale, Arcachon, Montpellier et enfin Oléron pour connaître les différentes méthodes d’élevage et s’y retrouver un peu plus parmi toutes les espèces de l’hexagone. Julie cuisinera une fricassée de berniques, les petits chapeaux chinois qui recouvrent les rochers du littoral mais aussi des palourdes roses méconnues du grand public. Nous poursuivrons notre route dans le Finistère pour rencontrer Sylvain, le seul éleveur d’ormeau du pays puis à Méru où se trouve encore des ateliers magnifiant ce sublime matériau. Le Chef Jean-Marie Baudic nous cuisine les coquilles Saint-Jacques comme personne.

In this inspiring episode, we join Team Broken Earth on a medical mission in Guatemala, witnessing firsthand the life-changing work taking place in local hospitals. From dawn until night, Canadian and Guatemalan healthcare teams perform surgeries, consult patients, and provide care that is often out of reach for many families. We meet patients of all ages—children awaiting orthopedic procedures, adults seeking mobility restoration, elders who have endured years of pain. Their stories highlight the profound need for global medical partnerships and the impact compassionate care can have on entire communities. Inside the operating rooms, surgical teams work with extraordinary precision, focus, and teamwork. Outside, families wait with hope and gratitude. This episode is a tribute to the power of service, cultural exchange, and the shared humanity that defines global health. Helping others, we learn, is one of the most powerful forms of healing.

Today, Julie takes us on a tour of spices and aromatic plants. Spices are a call to travel, to faraway lands and to the unknown. In the kitchen, they bear witness to our relationship with others, reflecting our vision of the world. Julie's journey will introduce us to the famous black pepper, thanks to Erwann de Kerros, an insatiable pepper seeker. Aromatic plants will also be in the spotlight, as we pick them with Edouard Loubet in the Luberon...

The team reflects on the season’s highlights, emphasizing that health goes far beyond the physical. Each destination revealed the importance of community, purpose, and connection to our environment. An invitation to explore health in all its forms with curiosity and kindness.
