Friend of the podcast Lana joins the table as the discussion jumps from Cayman issues to global headlines and social media drama, leading to heated takes on policy, scooters/insurance, U.S. politics, and the now-iconic “Mr. Earl” moment.Plus, a special word from Cinco Insurance, reminding you why peace of mind matters on Cayman's roads.

This week we're unpacking three of the health stories that have been everywhere as January gets underway. We start with why friendship and social connection are now being talked about as a serious health issue, from loneliness in our 30s to the growing evidence that connection supports mental health, reduces inflammation and even influences longevity. We then look at the headlines linking dark chocolate to ageing, breaking down the new research on cocoa compounds and biological age, why it was picked up so widely, and what it does and doesn't mean in real life. As ever, context matters more than hype. Finally, we dive into the nervous system and the vagus nerve, one of the biggest wellness trends heading into 2026. We explain what's actually going on beneath the buzz, why so many people feel overstimulated and wired, and what genuinely helps your nervous system feel calmer and more regulated, without falling for quick fixes.

Your brain changes as you age, but Dr Mindy Pelz says that's not a bad thing. She explains how fasting might be one of the most powerful tools for your ageing brain, which two supplements could make a real difference to both your thinking and your achy joints, why finding purpose matters more than ever when motivation starts to wane, the surprising link between storytelling and memory, and how the bacteria in your gut could be naturally lifting your mood.Links mentioned in the episode:CreatineCollagenMore from Liz:Preorder Liz's NEW book – How to AgeA Better Second Half Follow Liz on InstagramFollow Liz Earle Wellbeing on InstagramMore from Mindy: Age Like a Girl Follow Mindy on InstagramGet in touch with a question for Liz:Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.comWhatsApp: 07518 471 846Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.

Protein is having a moment, but the internet has turned it into a shouting match. In part one, I'm joined by performance nutritionist Dr Jules Strauss to cut through the noise and give you a clear framework. We start with the standard “recommended daily allowance” and quickly get into what actually matters for endurance athletes and masters athletes: muscle maintenance, recovery, quality of life, and staying strong enough to keep doing the stuff you love for decades. What we cover The RDA vs athlete reality       Why 0.8-1.0 g per kg is a general population target, not an “optimal for performance” target. How much protein do endurance athletes need? Typical ranges for endurance athletes and how masters athletes may benefit from the higher end. Anabolic resistance (ageing and protein) Why older athletes may need a bigger protein dose per meal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. J Strength training plus protein is the power combo Why lifting and protein work better together than either one alone. Sarcopenia and healthspan Muscle loss is not just a “gym issue”. It is independence, falls risk, and quality of life. Protein quality, plant vs animal, and what actually matters The truth: differences exist, but you can thrive on multiple approaches if you plan properly. Too much protein, kidney worries, and what happens to the excess Where the sensible upper limits sit for endurance athletes. Protein and fat loss Why protein can help appetite and muscle retention in a calorie deficit, but it is not magic. Key takeaways If you are an endurance athlete, the RDA is a floor, not a target. As you age, you may need more protein per meal to get the same muscle-building signal. Protein plus resistance training is one of the best “anti-rust” strategies going. Plant-based can work brilliantly, but it needs more planning to cover bases like essential amino acids and leucine. More is not always better. Most endurance athletes do not need to live at extreme intakes. Key quote regarding the RDA numbers “Those numbers are about survival rather than thriving or optimal performance.”   Listener action Work out your daily protein target and write it down (especially if you are over 45). Add one simple rule: protein at every meal. Breakfast is usually where people fall apart.   Connect with Dr. Jules Strauss: Website: totalendurancenutrition.com Instagram: @drjulesstrauss_nutritionist Resources recommended by Jules Beyond muscle hypertrophy.

Send us a textMy guest on Thrive Solo this week is the wonderful Gail Rice, a Canadian born psychologist and writer based in Sydney, Australia. Gail's work explores how the stories we carry can hold us back...or call us forward. Her writing shines a light on the unspoken stories around aging, desire, and reinvention, and she's also currently writing her memoir. Gail recently wrote an essay for The Times, also featured in the New York Times Modern Love podcast, entitled ‘I hired a male escort for my 70th Birthday'. Because that's exactly what she did. In fact, Gail didn't hire just one escort, she hired two, because the first experience was, shall we say, sub-par. As well as talking about her experience of hiring an escort at the age of 70, Gail and I also talk about some really important topics around ageing, including how so many women start to feel invisible the older they get, the particular kind of urgency that Gail feels as she moves into her later life, and the importance of mindset around ageing.02:15 Guest Introduction: Gail Rice02:46 Gail's Story: Hiring an Escort at 7005:35 The Experience and Its Impact09:05 Reflections on Ageing and Visibility17:18 Exploring Tantra and Self-Discovery20:28 Romantic History and Singlehood25:42 Regret and Life Choices33:58 Perspectives on Ageing and Urgency36:01 Reflecting on Ageing and Gratitude37:19 The Impact of Mindset on Ageing38:46 The Power of Female Community43:34 Embracing Singlehood and Overcoming Loneliness54:24 The Pressure of Anti-Ageing Culture01:00:33 The Importance of Touch and Companionship01:04:49 Celebrating Independence and Self-Discovery01:06:18 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsListen to Gail's piece: https://podcasts.apple.com/vg/podcast/i-hired-a-male-escort-for-my-70th-birthday-the-sunday-story/id1501716010?i=1000734694214Follow Gail on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gailrice.psych.writes/?hl=enJoin Gail's Substack: https://gail263.substack.com/ Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestionsWhat if the aches you've blamed on age are actually fixable? We sit down with physical therapist and nutrition educator Eileen Kopsaftis to rethink pain, and the beliefs that quietly drive decline. Eileen shares consistent shifts that can change everything: how your back feels, how your bones adapt, and how your strength returns. We start by challenging the cultural script that normalizes a shoebox of prescriptions and shrinking horizons.  You'll learn about practical routines she gives clients, and when McKenzie-based movements can settle disc-related pain without surgery. Drawing on research linking impaired lumbar blood flow to degeneration, she makes the case for a whole food, plant-forward approach that supports endothelial function, increases nitric oxide, and calms inflammation. We also unpack bone density myths, T-scores vs Z-scores, and why calcium from leafy greens and almonds beats pills that often pass unabsorbed.On muscle, the data points to inactivity—not age—as the culprit. By incorporating adequate hydration and complex carbs to fuel your workouts, people in their 70s and 80s build strength, stability, and confidence. Expect clear steps, not platitudes, and a hopeful reframing backed by stories of people who avoided surgery, shed pain, and reclaimed their independence. If you're ready to swap decline for design, hit play, take notes, and try the free movement assessment Eileen shares to personalize your plan.Enjoyed this conversation?

As we step into a new year, this episode of The Happy Menopause explores what it really means to age creatively – and how we can rediscover joy, confidence and adventure as we grow older.I'm delighted to welcome back Jo Moseley, six years after she first shared her story of breaking down in a Tesco biscuit aisle during perimenopause - a moment that became the catalyst for a powerful midlife transformation. Since then, Jo has become the first woman to paddleboard coast-to-coast across England, written award-winning books, made short films and championed joyful, adventurous ageing.In this warm and inspiring conversation, we talk about the healing power of nature, the confidence that comes from gentle challenges, and why being a beginner can be one of the most liberating things we do in mid and later life. Jo also shares how the outdoors has supported her through grief, heartbreak and major life changes, and why small, consistent steps matter far more than big resolutions.If you're feeling overwhelmed, tired or stuck at the start of the year, this episode offers reassurance, perspective and practical inspiration. You don't need to be fearless or fit -just willing to begin, exactly where you are. If you're a fan of The Happy Menopause, please tell your friends and family about it, and make sure you click the follow or subscribe button on whichever platform you listen on to make sure you never miss an episode.

As we age, the complexities of love and intimacy evolve, often leading to challenges that can impact our relationships. In this episode of “Sex Advice for Seniors,” I engaged in a candid conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Karen Stewart, exploring the intersection of mental health, retirement, and sexual relationships among older adults. One of the key themes we discussed was the profound effect of mental health on sexual relationships, particularly for men in later life. Dr. Stewart pointed out that many older adults experience a crisis of identity after retirement. For instance, men who have defined themselves by their careers may struggle with feelings of depression and aimlessness post-retirement. This shift can lead to challenges in intimacy, as depression can diminish sexual desire. Dr. Stewart emphasised that it's difficult to engage in a fulfilling sex life when one is battling feelings of inadequacy or sadness.Ageing is a complex journey that affects our relationships in profound ways. As Dr. Stewart highlighted, understanding the interplay between mental health, medication, and intimacy is vital for older adults. Open communication, empathy, and a willingness to explore new forms of intimacy can help partners navigate the challenges that arise as they age together. By fostering understanding and connection, couples can maintain vibrant, fulfilling relationships well into their later years.Unlock even more pleasure, clarity, and confidence in your intimate life by becoming a paid subscriber.

Psychologists have typically believed that we become less curious as we age, but recent research has shown curiosity actually becomes more targeted and specific in our later years. In this episode from September, Madeleine Finlay hears from Dr Mary Whatley, an assistant professor of psychology at Western Carolina University, and Dr Matthias Gruber of Cardiff University's Brain Research Imaging Centre to find out why we change in this way, and how maintaining broad curiosity into older age can help keep our brains young.

Scientists are beginning to understand that ageing is not simply a linear process and we age, according to recent research, in three accelerated bursts: at about 40, 60 and 80 years old. In this episode from July, Ian Sample talks to Stanford University's Prof Michael Snyder, who explains what the drivers of these bursts of ageing could be, and how they might be counteracted.

Gerontologist Dr Kerry Burnight joins Liz to explain why your beliefs about ageing could add or subtract years from your life – and introduce the concept of "joy span" as the missing measure between lifespan and healthspan. They discuss the four research-backed practices that predict thriving at any age, why loneliness is as harmful as smoking 14 cigarettes a day, and how finding purpose is simpler (and more powerful) than you think.More from Liz: * A Better Second Half * Follow Liz on Instagram * Follow Liz Earle Wellbeing on InstagramMore from Dr Kerry: * Joy Span: A Short Guide to Enjoying Your Long Life * Follow Dr Kerry on InstagramGet in touch with a question for Liz: * Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.com * WhatsApp: 07518 471 846Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.

In the final episode of Got Somme for 2025, Angus O’Loughlin and Master Sommelier Carlos Santos reflect on the year that was through the wines that defined it. Rather than revisiting bottles already featured on the podcast, Carlos reveals a personal Wine of the Year driven by memory, place and emotion. A Champagne enjoyed on a beach at sunset, oysters and lobster on hand, and a moment that perfectly captured why wine is never just about what is in the glass. Angus counters with his own standout wine of the year, an Australian Semillon that completely exceeded expectations and cut through a line-up of elite wines to steal the show. Along the way, they dive deep into Champagne ageing, Blanc de Blancs versus Brut styles, the importance of time on lees, the underrated ageing power of Australian Semillon, and why context and connection matter more than price tags. The episode also marks the end of an enormous year for Got Somme, celebrating huge audience growth and setting the stage for what is coming in 2026.

New research says elder millennials could be about to fall off an ageing cliff, with data suggesting age 44 marks a significant health decline for many. So, what can we do about it? Helen asks Dr Nas of DNA Health.

We've been lied to about ageing. In this video, I'm busting myths about ageing that we've been fed for far too long. From the belief that decline is inevitable to the idea that you can't lose weight, learn new things, or have a love life after 50—none of it is the full truth. This is a public episode.

Erika Heynatz has lived many lives on and off the stage. Model. Actor. Singer. Storyteller. In this conversation she opens the curtain on two decades shaped by impossible beauty standards and the constant work of being seen. Now, with her one woman cabaret Stupor Model, she holds the mirror up to the industry that created her. We explore how ageing sharpens self worth, why vulnerability creates a deeper kind of power, and how women can reclaim their desirability on their own terms. Erika speaks candidly about creative reinvention, the pull between visibility and privacy, the joy of performance, and the freedom that comes with embracing menopause rather than fearing it. This episode is a study in female myth making, the male gaze, and what happens when a woman finally tells her own story. Key Takeaways Erika’s journey shows how deeply the beauty myth shapes identity.• Ageing can reveal a richer, more grounded sense of self.• Vulnerability is not weakness. It is an artistic and personal strength.• Conversations about beauty and self worth must start in our homes.• The male gaze influences how many women are taught to see themselves.• Female friendships become stronger through shared life stages.• Menopause is universal and deserves celebration, not silence.• Beauty standards shift with culture, media and technology.• The real superpower is a woman’s unique voice, not her perfection.

The Babushka Phenomenon: Older Women and the Political Sociology of Ageing in Russia (UCL Press, 2025) by Dr. Anna Shadrina examines the social production of ageing in post-Soviet Russia, highlighting the role of grandmothers as primary caregivers due to men's traditional estrangement from family life. This expectation places grandmothers, or babushkas, in a position where they prioritise childcare and housework over their careers, making them unpaid family carers reliant on the state and their children. Dr. Shadrina situates older Russian women's experiences within the post-Soviet redefinition of the nation, analysing their portrayal in popular media and biographical narratives of women aged 60 and over in Russia and the UK. It addresses class and racial disparities, noting how some women outsource family duties to less qualified women, and emphasises age as a significant but overlooked axis of social inequality. From a feminist perspective, the book explores citizenship as both a status and a practice of inclusion and exclusion. By focusing on older women's rights to participate in private and public spheres, it discusses the new social inequalities that emerged after the USSR's collapse. Despite prioritising others' interests, older Russian women actively engage in economic citizenship, though their struggles for recognition are often excluded from formal economy and politics. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Caroline's business Doris Jones provides physio-led home care, helping older people stay independent where they are happiest - at home. This is a relaxed & broad conversation discussing ageing from a perspective we haven't explored before.

Everyone seems to be chasing the secret to living longer these days, from cold plunges and stem cells to full body scans and biohacking routines. But as I sat with the image of those two 75-year-old men, one walking, laughing and playing with his grandchildren, the other struggling to get out of bed, I realised longevity is about far more than simply adding years. It's about whether those extra years are spent in hospital beds or in cafés with friends. The real question isn't “How long can we live?” but “How well can we live for as long as we're here?”In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, we are joined by Dr Darshan Shah, a surgeon, entrepreneur, longevity expert and founder of Next Health. Together, we explore what it really means to age gracefully, why healthspan matters more than lifespan, and how much of our future health is truly within our control. We talk about whether you can overcome a difficult genetic history, the difference between living longer and living better, and how modern tools such as blood biomarkers, wearables, CT angiograms and full body MRI allow us to detect disease years before it appears as a crisis.To help you start your own data-led wellness journey, here are some of the core tests and metrics Dr Shah recommends for personalised health insights:Metabolic Health Tests: Blood sugar, insulin, HbA1c, full lipid profile, blood pressure, waist circumference, body fat percentage and visceral fat.Hormonal & Functional Health Tests: Key hormone markers, gut-health indicators, detoxification markers.Inflammation & Ageing Markers: Tests that measure systemic inflammation and biological ageing.Gut Health Tests: Microbiome analysis and food-sensitivity or leaky-gut testing.Wearable Metrics: Heart-rate variability, sleep tracking, smart-scale body composition and continuous glucose monitoring.Alziemer's disease: Blood biomarkers testThis episode isn't about chasing eternal youth; it's about understanding your body more deeply so you can age with clarity, confidence and strength. You'll walk away with a renewed sense of how everyday choices shape your energy, resilience and long-term health, along with simple tools you can start using now to feel better from the inside out.For a transcript of this show, go to https://wellnesscurated.life/future-of-longevity-can-we-really-reverse-ageing/Leave a review

What if aging isn't a problem to solve but a feature of being human? What if what's falling apart is doing exactly what it's meant to do? Sarah Jessop is a dear friend, fellow mariner, Yoga teacher, artist, and mystic based in Witchcliff, Western Australia. She's been coming to Bali since she was 21, when she first left Australia with a little bit of money and no idea what she was in for. We talk about what it means to be welcomed into a living culture, the ways tourists sometimes misunderstand Bali, and how Balinese society holds itself together through invisible threads of connection. Sarah speaks so honestly about what it's been like to age, to shift from student to teacher, to feel the tug between visibility and invisibility, and to stay true in the face of frog Yoga and downward dogs with goats. This one gets into the heartbreak and humor of being alive, being a woman, and remembering that life is already working, even in the compost pile. Key Takeaways Bali is a Living Culture – The Balinese aren't performing for tourists. They're living their culture, and we're being invited into it. Ageing is Sacred – Watching the body change is confronting, but it's also part of how life keeps moving and renewing itself. Breath is What People Really Want – When Yoga is centered in breath and simplicity, people feel the difference. They stay. Self-Doubt Still Comes Up – Even seasoned teachers wonder if they'll be eclipsed by trendier offerings, but truth finds its people. Everything is the Practice – Even the pain of losing what you thought you were is part of Yoga. It all belongs. Life is a Recycling Program – We're made of star stuff, Einstein's hair, and dinosaur toenails. Nothing is ever lost.

How much do we really know about ageing? For decades, scientists have been trying to understand the biology of the ageing process - what happens to our bodies as we get older?

Science commentator Laurie Winkless joins Kathryn with a new study that looked at 86,000 people in 27 European countries to understand how multilingualism may influence their brain health as they age. The results might just have you reaching for the Duolingo app. This year's Global Carbon Project has found emissions from fossil fuels have risen by 1.1% to reach their highest level yet. And there's new hope for people suffering from anaemia; researchers in Switzerland have developed a new iron supplement for food that's tasteless and more quickly absorbed than iron sulfate. Laurie Winkless is a physicist and science writer.

It was such a pleasure to get to know Nicola Roberts during this episode.Nicola, who is currently starring as Persephone in the West End production of the musical Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre joined me for the best chat where she really opened up about what it was like being judged for her appearance in her Girls Aloud Days and how she has learnt to truly love and accept herself.We talk about relationships, feelign positive about ageing and also about how she looks after her sensitive skin.
