Podcasts about Ageing

One of the most powerful tools for healthy ageing might be something you've barely thought about: light. Most of us spend the majority of our time under LED lighting that's stripped of the very wavelengths our bodies need to function well – and the impact on our metabolism, energy and long-term health is only just being understood.Professor Glen Jeffery, neuroscientist at UCL's Institute of Ophthalmology, joins Liz to explain why a light deficiency could be quietly accelerating ageing, what it means for your mitochondria, and the simple changes – starting with your light bulbs – that could make a real difference to how you feel and age.In this episode:Why infrared light is the most overlooked wavelength for human healthHow LED lighting creates a "light deficiency" – and why Glen calls it modern-day scurvyThe profound effect light has on your mitochondria and energy productionWhy morning light mattersWhat the research really says about red light face masks and infrared saunasHow changing your light environment could help regulate blood sugar and metabolismThe simple practical changes to make at home – and why Glen's first recommendation is to get a dogLinks mentioned in the episode:Anti blue light glassesGet in touch with a question for Liz:Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.comWhatsApp: 07518 471 846More from Liz:Preorder Liz's new book – How to AgeA Better Second Half Follow Liz on InstagramFollow Liz Earle Wellbeing on InstagramSome links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.

Welche Gesellschaftlichen Fragen, Lebensmodelle und Probleme bringt diese Forschung mit sich. Und was ist das erstrebenswerte an so einem Leben?

Perimenopause can feel like a rollercoaster. Mood swings, anxiety, sleep disruptions, and night sweats can leave many women searching for relief. And because our culture constantly tells us that a glass of wine is the perfect way to relax, many women turn to alcohol to cope. But what if that nightly drink is actually making perimenopause symptoms worse? In this episode, Sara breaks down the science behind alcohol and perimenopause, explaining why drinking during this stage of life can intensify symptoms like anxiety, poor sleep, hot flashes, and mood swings. She also shares why midlife women are particularly vulnerable to alcohol's effects and what actually helps support your body and nervous system during this transition. If you've been feeling confused about what's happening in your body during this stage of life, this episode will give you clarity, compassion, and practical steps you can take to feel better.   In This Episode   ➡️ What perimenopause actually is (and why it can start earlier than many women realize) ➡️ Why alcohol hits women harder than men, especially in midlife ➡️ How drinking can worsen hot flashes, sleep issues, anxiety, and mood swings ➡️ Why many women start drinking more in their 40s ➡️ The connection between alcohol and breast cancer risk ➡️ How alcohol disrupts REM sleep and emotional processing ➡️ The role alcohol plays in bone density loss during midlife ➡️ Why nervous system regulation matters more than numbing out with alcohol ➡️ Simple strategies that support your body during perimenopause   What Actually Helps During Perimenopause   Instead of relying on alcohol to cope, research shows that these practices can support your body and hormones during this stage of life: ✨ Prioritizing quality sleep ✨ Regular movement and exercise ✨ Stress-reducing practices like breathwork, yoga, or meditation ✨ Finding connection and community ✨ Talking with a doctor about options like hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

New research suggests daily multivitamins could slow biological ageing. A clinical trial in the US found slower changes in the DNA based epigenetic clocks of older adults who take multivitamins. It suggests that simple nutritional interventions could potentially influence the body's ageing process. Professor at Massey University's Centre for Public Health Research and Nutrition, Lisa Te Morenga told Mike Hosking it's not a magic pill. She says the effects so far are quite tiny, and there's no evidence yet that multivitamins actually help you live longer, it's just changing things they believe are associated with living longer.

According to Matt Preston, he only has 14 more summers. And he’s determined to make the most of them.

For decades, housing planners have assumed that seniors would eventually downsize, freeing up family homes for the next generation. But that hasn't happened.In this episode, Cara Stern and Mike Moffatt explore why most seniors choose to stay in their homes and why that decision is often perfectly rational. High moving costs, limited housing options, strong community ties, and government policies that encourage aging in place all make downsizing far less appealing than planners expected.This mistaken assumption has shaped housing forecasts, contributed to today's housing shortage, and fueled tensions between generations. Are seniors really the problem, or did policymakers simply plan the housing system around the wrong idea?And if seniors aren't moving, what does that mean for families trying to find space in cities where family-sized homes remain scarce?In this episode, we discuss:The Over-Housing Myth: Why the term does more harm than good.The Cost of Moving: Taxes, fees, and the "financial loser" trade-off of downsizing.Involuntary Over-Housing: What happens when seniors want to move but have nowhere to go.Policy Failure: How municipal assumptions about generational turnover are decades out of date.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:00 The Irony of Planners Assuming Seniors Will Downsize2:32 Flawed Assumptions About Generational Turnover and Life Expectancy03:47 The Problematic Term "Overhoused"07:11 Defining "Involuntarily Overhoused"08:25 Underhousing Statistics in Toronto09:04 Zero Sum Mentality Created By Housing Shortage10:40 Density as a Solution for Seniors and Reducing Resentment12:33 The Financial Calculation: Why Moving Makes No Sense for Seniors14:00  Policies Actively Paying Seniors to Stay in Place16:09 Places where they have Implemented Better Policy Research/links:Right-Sizing Housing and Generational Turnoverhttps://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/planning-studies-initiatives/housing-to-2051/Perspectives on Growing Older in Canada: The 2025 NIA Ageing in Canada Survey – National Institute on Ageing, Toronto Metropolitan Universityhttps://niageing.ca/reports/perspectives-on-growing-older-in-canada-the-2025-nia-ageing-in-canada-survey/Canada's Demographic Time Bomb: What Boom, Bust & Echo Got Right - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3VT7x1lrBsCity of Toronto – Garden Suites and Laneway Suiteshttps://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/planning-studies-initiatives/garden-suites/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Can you open a jar or do you have to ask someone? Do you carry heavy bags easily or do you expect other people to do the heavy lifting? How physically strong are you? That's a very important question for women in mid and later life, because the stronger you are, the better your health will be on a number of different levels. The evidence base is clear – people who lift heavy weights have a much lower risk of the various chronic health issues that we need to take seriously as we get a bit older. The great news is that it's never too late to start, and today's episode very much champions this notion – I'm chatting to physiotherapist, author and strength expert Chris Tiley, who's the founder of Never Too Old To Lift, a fabulous website and podcast full of excellent resources. With a background in British ParaSnowSport, Chris has built on his expertise to create Never Too Old To Lift to introduce strength training to people who never thought they'd be able to do it and to inspire them to take their first steps on their journey to strength. It's an empowering and insightful chat and I guarantee it'll make you want to get started! And if you want to make sure you're fuelling yourself correctly at the same time, the 14-day energy booster programme in my book The Happy Menopause Guide to Energy will get you on the right track for your strength programme. It's available in all the usual places. If you've found this episode helpful, please do share it with a friend who might benefit.

A new study in Frontiers in Aging suggests so-called ‘forever chemicals,' or PFAS, may be linked to faster biological aging in men aged 50 to 65. But what could be causing this and why just in men? Joining Emmet Oliver to try to get to grips with what's happening is Ruairi Brannigan, Assistant Professor from DCU's School of Chemical Sciences.

What if the secret to living well into your 80s and 90s is nothing to do with your DNA? What if the longevity hackers have got it wrong, and it's actually far more simple than you think to become a ‘super ager'? We all want to live a long, happy and healthy life. But with the vast majority of US and UK people over 60 having at least one chronic disease, the odds are currently stacked against us. Or are they? In this enlightening episode, you'll learn why healthspan matters more than lifespan – and why it's never too late, or too early, to take action. My guest is Dr Eric Topol, a practising cardiologist, Professor of Molecular Medicine, and one of the top 10 most cited researchers in medicine. Eric has spent his career at the forefront of genomics and artificial intelligence. Yet in his new book Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach To Longevity, he sets out a surprisingly low-tech solution to ageing well. And it's one that has nothing to do with your parents' health. In this episode, Eric talks me through what his Wellderly Project – research on remarkably healthy people in their late 80s – revealed about the health metrics that matter. He explains his ‘lifestyle plus' approach to health, which includes not just the basics like nutrition, exercise and sleep, but evidence-based influences such as environmental toxins, emotional outlook and social connections. His message is an empowering one: making the right choices today could add seven to 10 healthy years to your life, regardless of your family history. We tackle some thought-provoking topics, such as the idea that cancer screening isn't working, and that forever chemicals and microplastics are far more dangerous than we've been led to believe. We discuss the personalisation of healthcare – how knowledge of your own data is the most effective way to drive behaviour change. And Eric shares his positive insights on how AI will be able to help us predict – and take control of – our future health. The ‘big three' chronic diseases, cancer, heart disease and neurodegeneration, start developing 20 years before we see symptoms. So that's a big window of time in which you can make a difference to your risk – and a truly empowering message you can start acting on today. Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

If Barack Obama says there are aliens, then there are aliens. While the former President is busy clarifying that he didn't actually see any ETs in the Oval Office, Jessie Stephens has a theory: Is men’s obsession with outer space just a symptom of not having enough mental load? Plus, the political "pub test" is officially dead, and the "algorithm test" has moved in and made itself comfortable. We’re looking at why the Internet is both the world’s best fact-checker and its most dangerous bias-confirmer. And Holly Wainwright is asking, what IS the actual pub test in 2026? And because we clearly haven't done enough critical thinking, we’re wading into the chaos of Married At First Sight. Jessie, of course, is an expert in the field, and she’s bringing several philosophical questions from the new season, starting with: Can you ever come back from a sexual chemistry deficit? In other business, apparently, humans "fall off a cliff" at age 44, which is sending Amelia Lester into a spiral. Happily, there’s a pick-me-up coming: Hollywood A-listers are signalling that side-parts are back. What’s next? Skinny jeans and ballet flats? Oh.

Today, we're asking how we can boost our brain. Our brain is a living, morphing organ that is constantly responding to the stimuli we feed it. So the big question is: what sort of stimuli will keep our brain strong and healthy? Is it brain puzzles? Supplements? Neuroscientist Dr. Wendy Suzuki believes the most powerful way to support your brain is by simply moving your body. She's joining me today to explain why.

In today's episode, I'm, joined by Maisie as we talk about labels, lineage, witchcraft, druidry, play, grief, learning, motherhood, ageing, and the quiet rebellion of choosing joy and wonder in a world that often tells us to grow up, get sensible, and stop believing in magick.In this episode we explore:Do I call myself a witch? And what does that even mean?Maisie asks about labels. About the word witch. About hesitation, responsibility, history, and whether claiming a title feels empowering or heavy.I share my own relationship with the word, including its modern reclamation, its painful history as an accusation rather than an identity, and why I still choose to stand in it openly. Not because everyone should, but because visibility creates permission.We also talk about why some people feel more at home with words like druid, eclectic, or hedge, and why none of these need to be fixed forever.Structure, rhythm, and why we crave them after religionMaisie reflects on how A Pinch of Magick and the app provide structure without dogma, especially for those who've stepped away from organised religion.We talk about why humans need rhythm. Why cycles like the moon, seasons, and daily practices anchor us. And how magick can offer routine without control, and reverence without fear.The witch wound and the weight of historyWe speak candidly about the witch wound. About fear, grief, and the reality that witchcraft accusations were rarely about power or wisdom, and far more often about vulnerability, misogyny, poverty, and control.I share reflections from historical research on cunning folk, muttering women, court records, and why the word witch still carries such emotional charge today.Divination as humanity's oldest instinctFrom marbles in a childhood box to red skies and shepherds' warnings, we explore divination not as fortune-telling, but as humanity's oldest way of making meaning.We talk about tarot, oracles, entrails, medicine, economics, and how prediction, pattern-reading, and intuition have always been part of everyday life.Root Essence and living by an inner compassMaisie shares her experience of the Root Essence course (available in the app) and discovering her guiding phrase: magickal play.We talk about how knowing your root essence becomes a decision-making compass, especially when you're prone to overthinking, self-judgement, or taking life too seriously.Ageing, cronehood, and second adolescencesOur conversation turns to age, menopause, crone energy, and the relief of no longer needing permission.We talk about midlife as a second adolescence. A time of rebellion, wisdom, sovereignty, and deep discernment. A moment where life doesn't narrow, but clarifies..Everyday magick and reclaiming the mundaneFrom birthday candles and tooth fairies to hoovering with intention, we talk about how magick was never separate from daily life until it was made so.We explore how ordinary moments become sacred when approached symbolically. Cleaning. Cooking. Writing. Walking. Lighting a candle. Releasing energy.Whimsy as survivalMaisie shares how embracing play, fandom, costuming, travel, and creative joy has become a form of resilience in a heavy world.We talk about holding rage in one hand and whimsy in the other. About joy as nourishment and bout choosing wonder as an act of quiet rebellion.Today's episode reminds you that if you've ever made a wish, noticed a sign, played pretend, or felt awe at the world around you, you were already participating in magick.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here

Peta Murray would love to see more people embrace the idea of ''elderflowering'

Are ageing and motherhood actually a parallel journey? In this episode, I'm chatting with Dr Amanda Hanson, a clinical psychologist who's flipping the script on how we think about getting older as women, and why that matters so much when navigating motherhood.We're diving into the stuff nobody talks about: how to stop fearing ageing and start seeing it as something almost spiritual, why society's beauty standards are doing our heads in (especially postpartum), and what emotional hygiene actually means. Dr Hanson gets real about building self-worth from the inside out, celebrating your body for what it's done rather than what it looks like, and finding strength during those incredibly vulnerable early days.Let's change the conversation.You can find out more about Dr Amanda and her work here.

Do you want to live forever? From getting your vaccines to heading to gigs, Professor John Tregoning author of “Live Forever”, has been experimenting all the ways to slow down ageing.

Today I'm joined by Professor Valter Longo to unpack what actually slows biological ageing, and what most women are getting wrong about fasting, protein, and diet. We explore the difference between chronological age and biological age, how biological ageing is measured, and why chasing extreme fasting or high-protein trends may quietly undermine long-term health. Professor Longo shares decades of research behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), explains why most popular fasting protocols may increase cardiovascular risk, and outlines the dietary patterns consistently linked to the world's longest-living populations. This conversation cuts through longevity hype with evidence from human trials, centenarian studies, and 100 years of ageing research, offering a grounded, practical framework for improving healthspan without extremes. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • The real difference between chronological age and biological age – and how it's measured • Why blood biomarkers may be more reliable than epigenetic ageing clocks right now • What organ-specific ageing clocks reveal about hidden health risks • How long it actually takes to activate meaningful autophagy in humans • Why most intermittent fasting protocols may increase heart disease risk • The science behind the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) • FMD vs water fasting: gut health, muscle preservation, and safety • Why skipping breakfast is linked to higher cardiovascular mortality • The optimal daily eating window for longevity (and why 12 hours matters) • How often to use FMD for longevity, metabolic health, and disease prevention • Why excess protein may accelerate ageing and disease risk • How much protein humans actually need for longevity • The ideal macronutrient balance for healthspan and lifespan • How nutrition consistently outperforms exercise for lifespan extension • Practical longevity habits around sleep, stress, and lifestyle timing Timestamps 00:00 Intro: Biological Age vs Chronological Age 04:03 Organ-Specific Ageing: Why One Age Score Can Be Misleading 06:15 Autophagy Explained: How Long It Really Takes in Humans 08:59 The Longevity Diet & Fasting Mimicking Diet Explained 11:26 Why Most Fasting Protocols May Be Harmful Long-Term 16:58 Skipping Breakfast, Cholesterol & Heart Disease Risk 18:36 Water Fasting vs FMD: Gut Health, Microbiome & Muscle Loss 35:03 Protein Intake Myths: Muscle, Ageing & Disease Risk 42:46 Sleep, Stress & Lifestyle Factors That Extend Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: • MitoQ NAD+

Severe period pain? Vomiting? Fainting? It's not just “one of those things.” These can be symptoms of endometriosis - a condition far more complex than many realise, and which often goes undiagnosed and unsupported, affecting 1 in 10 women. In this episode, I'm joined by Professor Janice Rymer, consultant gynaecologist, and endometriosis nurse specialist Claudia Tye from Guy's Hospital, London. Between them, they bring years of clinical experience and research, helping women navigate the many challenges of endometriosis.We discuss what endometriosis is, why it happens, how it's diagnosed, treatment options, and how it can change during perimenopause and menopause. We also share self-help strategies and advice on getting the right support. If you've ever struggled to understand what your body is telling you - or want to support a loved one with endometriosis - this episode is packed with insight, guidance, and reassurance. If you're enjoying The Happy Menopause, please share it with friends and family, leave a 5* review, and don't forget to hit follow or subscribe on your favourite podcast platform.

One of the most challenging aspects of midlife transition for many women is coming to terms with your own mortality and ageing. The paradigm is indeed different for men, there is more acceptance of the ageing man with grey hair. But for women, aside from menopause, there is great fear in ageing and becoming irrelevant. This largely has been perpetuated by the cosmetics industry and popular culture. How many role models of women ageing on their own terms do we see in the media, social media or television and films?In this podcast, I talk with Faith Agugu, psychotherapist and founder of Silver Sirens, an ageing positive community for women over 50+. We discuss why the traditional narrative around ageing for women is not only limiting but harmful to wisdoms self-esteem and well-being. When you embrace your second half of life with curiousity and confidence you are setting yourself up to live well.In the podcast we discuss:How the narrative we were told about ageing as a child greatly influences how we approach our own ageing process,How popular culture and media impacts how we feel about our bodies and mental health as we age,How fear drives increased stress in our lives in this transition and what is misunderstood about getting older,How there is a different paradigm of ageing for women than there is for men,How many women describe midlife as a time when old identities fall away—roles, ways of being, expectations. What we see as therapists of this transition emerge when women are supported through that transition well?The common myths Faith would love to dispel about ageing,How intergenerational wisdom around ageing can be passed down through family systems,What Faith believes is the most compassionate first step you can take as you approach both midlife or elderhood.You can find Faith through her therapy practice The Healing Process or her community group Silver Sirens or on instagram or Facebook..

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.

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!

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.
