Ageing is part of the natural cycle of life, and there's no such thing as a miracle pill to prevent it. At least not yet ! Nevertheless, it is still possible to delay the effects of this process through a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition. No doubt you've already heard of the benefits of regular physical activity, getting enough sleep and giving up cigarettes or alcohol. But generally speaking, you should prioritise foods that are rich in antioxidants. The term "antioxidants" includes certain vitamins, trace elements, and micronutrients found in large quantities in fruit and vegetables, for example. What foods should we be focusing on ? Where can you find antioxidants in abundance ? What about drinks? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

In today's podcast we focus on the global infrastructure market and find out what the UK might do to accelerate its ambitions to drive economic growth from infrastructure investment.My guest today is Jake Mumm, General Manager for Public Infrastructure at global construction design and delivery business Bechtel - someone who has spent the last three decades at the coal face of some of the most challenging projects around the world.As Jake knows I'm sure, Governments worldwide face mounting infrastructure challenges as populations grow, urbanisation accelerates, and climate change intensifies. Ageing transport networks, outdated water systems, and insufficient digital infrastructure hinder economic growth and quality of life. And pretty much all of them have similar challenges - funding shortfalls, bureaucratic delays, and political uncertainty – which too often delay or cancel critical projects. Yet the need for resilient, sustainable solutions is greater than ever, with extreme weather events exposing vulnerabilities in existing infrastructure. As such, the transition to smart cities, green energy, and efficient public transport is high on the agenda and requires strategic investment, cross-sector collaboration, and innovative financing models.Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensuring that infrastructure that meets society's evolving needs. And so often it falls to businesses like Bechtel to steer a path to success.So let's find out how.Resources Jake Mumm Linked InBechtel InfrastructureRiyadh MetroElizabeth Line LondonCalifornia High Speed Rail

It's Wednesday, which can only mean one thing... we've got to have a chat!There always used to be a sort of joke about how when we're asleep it is the only time we're not conforming to patriarchal beauty standards, when we're free from being advertised to and commodified, only now the billion-dollar beauty and wellness industry has managed to infiltrate that, too.Women of the internet are sharing their 'morning shed' where they remove various layers of skin-care products and anti-ageing aids. We discuss what we make of this new trend, and hear from you at home, too!Thank you so much to everyone who sent in their thoughts, we love being in conversation with you.

Helping Agsing Parents DownsizeIn this episode, Scott reconnects with Charles and Helen, past clients who navigated the emotional and logistical challenges of helping an elderly parent transition from their longtime family home. They share their firsthand experience working with the Broady Windsor Group and how the Homeowners Advisory Club was instrumental in making the process smoother and more manageable.The Emotional Weight of DownsizingCharles reflects on the pressure of managing his own family and business while also caring for ageing parents. His mother was facing dementia, and his father was alone in a large home he could no longer manage on his own. The emotional and logistical burden was immense until he partnered with the BW Group and Helen Mitchell.Beyond Real Estate: Full-Service SupportCharles emphasizes that what stood out most wasn't just the real estate service—it was everything around it. The BW Group provided access to a trusted network of professionals through the Homeowners Advisory Club. Helen, a key resource for helping seniors through this process, acted as a point person, helping to coordinate everything from yard cleanup and handyman services to inspections and moving support.Dealing with the UnexpectedJust days before listing, a major plumbing issue surfaced. Rather than panic, Charles leaned on the team's network. The problem was handled immediately, saving time, stress, and further delays. For Charles, it was the reassurance of knowing someone had his back, even during emergencies.Strategy and Speed: Getting to SoldWith tax season approaching and another property to manage, Charles needed to sell quickly without compromising on value. Scott guided him through a pricing strategy that created urgency in the market. The result: a successful sale in just two weeks, close to asking price, despite a slower time of year.The Value of Trusted AdviceHaving previously sold a property in the U.S., Charles had a benchmark for good service—but working with Scott and his team raised the bar. He appreciated the clarity, honesty, and guidance that helped him avoid costly mistakes. The team's extra effort made all the difference in a highly stressful situation.Helen's Perspective: From Referral to Trusted PartnerHelen, who initially connected with the BW Group through a referral, knew immediately Scott was the right choice. She discusses how trust and connection are critical when choosing a realtor, especially when handling sensitive family transitions. Her background working with seniors gave her insight into the unique emotional challenges of downsizing a lifetime's worth of belongings.Pre-Listing Inspection: A Game ChangerOne standout moment was the pre-listing inspection, which uncovered important repairs before the home hit the market. This proactive approach prevented buyer concerns and allowed them to get competitive quotes in advance. Helen calls it a “genius move” that helped avoid surprises and maximize peace of mind.A Network That Works Like a TeamFrom plumbing and junk removal to estate sale professionals, Helen highlights how BW Group's network isn't just a list of names—it's a collaborative ecosystem. Each provider shares a common mindset focused on service, empathy, and professionalism. That shared vision was critical to the home selling process.Supporting Both GenerationsHelen makes an important observation: while the focus may be on helping the seniors, the real impact is felt by the adult children—those juggling careers, parenting, and caregiving. She now sees herself as working for the children, reducing their stress while guiding the parents.A Final Word from Charles and HelenThe episode wraps with heartfelt gratitude. Charles says he'd recommend the BW Group “to anyone in...

In this episode of The Asian Soup Podcast, Rox and Jules chat about facing the realities of their parents getting older and older. They revisit their childhood and how their parents dealt with their own ageing parents (our grandparents). It's only human that we all get older, now we're also in our mid-30s. What do we foresee for any upcoming responsibilities that we might have in the future with our parents? Is there anything that we already need to deal with? Are there any Asian Australian cultural expectations of filial piety that we have? Everyone's family situations are different, and how we take care of our ageing parents will also differ. A bit of a more personal take on family and what's to come. Hopefully, you enjoy and can relate to some of the things we share in this episode. Tune in for another cosy conversation. Enjoy!YOUTUBE
With money pouring in and an unprecedented level of public attention and excitement, scientists are publishing a steady stream of papers on ways to measure how rapidly a person's body is declining.However, there are mixed feelings of enthusiasm and apprehension among researchers about efforts to develop tests that measure the impact of ageing on the body, as they are often interpreted and presented without a full reckoning of the uncertainties that plague them.This is an audio version of our Feature: How quickly are you ageing?

We all know that eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet is one of the best ways to support healthy aging. While aging is a natural and inevitable process, the foods we eat can either slow it down or speed it up. Some protect our cells, while others do real harm, accelerating aging both inside and out. Sugar, for example, is one of the biggest enemies of your skin. It triggers a process called glycation, which damages proteins in the body, leading to wrinkles, dull skin, and even chronic diseases. Meanwhile, processed fats, excess salt, and alcohol can also take a toll on your health, from cardiovascular risks to dehydration and premature aging. So what exactly is glycation? Which foods should you avoid to keep your skin and body healthy for longer? And are there any foods that can help fight aging? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Send us a textUnderstanding Male Menopause: Signs, Symptoms, and SolutionsIn this episode of Truly Expat Podcast, hosts Rachel and Paula delve into the rarely discussed topic of men's hormones with Dr Caroline Low, a family physician in Singapore specialising in hormone health and proactive ageing. The discussion covers the insidious nature of hormonal changes in men, including the gradual decline of testosterone and the rise of estrogen after the age of 40. Unlike women's menopause, where symptoms are more abrupt and well-known, men often go unaware of their hormonal shifts, leading to mood swings, weight gain, decreased motivation, and potential erectile dysfunction. Dr. Lowe explains how lifestyle choices, stress, and diet affect hormonal balance and provides practical tips on maintaining this balance. The conversation reveals the profound impact of hormonal changes on men's physical and emotional well-being and highlights the need for better education and support around this issue.00:00 Introduction to Men's Hormones00:59 Understanding Male Menopause03:38 Symptoms and Misconceptions05:42 Impact on Relationships09:38 Hormone Replacement Therapy14:53 Lifestyle and Dietary Changes27:22 Conclusion and Next Episode TeaserContact information for Dr Caroline:Address: Serene Centre, 10 Jln Serene, #02-01/02 Serene Centre, Singapore 258748 Phone number: 6466 6808Remember, the conversation doesn't end here.

Obesity, mobility, exercise and cancer are in the spotlight for researchers as there is an increasing amount of evidence pointing at the metabolic mechanisms which bind them together. Associate Professor Lykke Sylow from the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Molecular Metabolism in Cancer and Ageing at the Health Faculty at University of Copenhagen Is being interviewed by science journalist Jens Degett from Science Stories about why it is important to be in a good shape, and all the benefits of exercise.

Most of us complain about getting older but between the two of us, we so often talk about how ageing is the ultimate privilege. That's not to say ageing is easy and it certainly comes with its challenges, but ageing is a privilege that not everyone gets to experience and we live in a society, particularly as women, where we're sold anti-wrinkle creams, wellness is commercialised and we praise people who look younger than their years. So why are we all striving for longevity, but we're all still running away from what ageing actually looks like? Did someone say Substack?

Would you want to live for longer? Forever? Have your mind preserved and uploaded into something non-human? And is it even possible? Neuroscientist Dr Ariel Zeleznikow explores challenging ideas about life and death.From adding a few decades onto a life span, to suspending the aging process altogether, and more radically, uploading a preserved brain and consciousness into an entirely different physical structure, Ariel's research is at the cutting edge of neuroscience.These seem like strange ideas, scientifically and morally, but Ariel says that with the advent of new techniques of brain preservation and the recent successful attempts at mapping consciousness, we could be looking at drastically longer lives in the future.This episode of Conversations explores weird science, epic stories, brain preservation, the aging process, how to stop ageing, getting older, brains, minds, souls, humanity, morality, lifespan, cancer, brain disease, Walt Disney, cryogenic freezing, genomes, biology, neurology, philosophy, ethics.The Future Loves You: How and Why We Should Abolish Death is published by Penguin.

She herself has been postmenopausal for 30 odd years following chemotherapy as a younger woman.In this chat, we get into the deep-rooted cultural stories around menopause and ageing, including Stella's mission to change the negativity younger women often hear about it. She challenges the idea that postmenopause is all about decline, instead seeing it as a transition into a new, thriving chapter.Stella shares some of the amazing stories of women she researched as part of her doctorate on post menopause, showing just how varied the experience can be—some women struggle, some breeze through, and most land somewhere in between. But society tends to focus on fear and loss, making ageing seem like something to dread. Instead, she encourages us to lean into change rather than fight it. Menopause can be tough, sure, but it's also a chance for growth, renewal, and empowerment.Our chat is a powerful reminder that menopause isn't the end—it's just the next phase of an ever-evolving life. Hope you enjoy it.Find out more about Stella's work here; https://stelladuffytherapy.co.uk/about-stella-duffy/Or if you need support with your menopause symptoms or other health issues, contact us here; https://happyhormonesforlife.com/contact

We always love it when a guest comes to help us decipher the week in pop culture, and who better to make sense of the Oscars than British actor Lucy Boynton, brilliant star of Bohemian Rhapsody, the Ipcress File, The Politican and Sing Street. She's also in ITV's A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, a gripping new drama about the last woman to be hanged in Britain, which reveals the horrific elitism and misogyny of the 1950s, and has become horribly relevant in light of the increasing violence against women. We discuss everything from how the media reports on domestic violence to why our society is built for men. Also on the show: Millie Bobby Brown's powerful statement in response to media trolling of her appearance, a quick debrief on the Brits and our review of new no1 Netflix hit Toxic Town.

Chronological age is how many birthdays you've had. Biological age is how well your body actually functions. Regular strength training, mobility work, and proper recovery can keep your muscles, joints, and cardiovascular system younger than your birth certificate says.On this episode, we talk about the impacts of training on ageing (and ageing on training). Studies show resistance training improves muscle mass, bone density, and metabolic health—key factors in slowing biological ageing. So whether you're 30 or 60, the best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time? Today.
Can you reverse ageing?At 39, Leslie Kenny was diagnosed with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and Hashimoto's, told her health would only decline, and given no real solutions beyond medication. But instead of accepting that fate, she turned to lifestyle medicine, movement and cellular renewal, and now, at 59, her biological age is just 21 and she is thriving!In this episode, Leslie, founder of Oxford Healthspan and co-founder of the Oxford Longevity Project, a non-profit educational organisation, shares how she put her autoimmune conditions into remission, the science behind autophagy and inflammation, and why movement is key to longevity.

In this episode, Emma Sutherland hosts Christine Pope, a naturopath, nutritionist and homeopath, to explore strategies for healthy ageing. With Australia's ageing population on the rise, Christine highlights the role of diet, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation in extending healthspan, not just lifespan. Christine delves into the key biomarkers for ageing, such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and thyroid function. She discusses the nutrient deficiencies most common in older adults - particularly vitamin D, zinc, iron, magnesium, and iodine - and their impact on cognitive function, metabolism, and immunity. The conversation also covers the importance of protein intake, exercise for muscle preservation, and reducing the body's toxic burden. Christine shares insights from her training in the Bredesen Protocol for Alzheimer's and discusses how balancing blood sugar and optimising hormones can help prevent cognitive decline. This episode is packed with clinical pearls to help practitioners support healthy ageing and enhance patient outcomes.

Science editor Ian Sample joins co-host Madeleine Finlay to discuss some of the most intriguing science stories of the week. From a concerning rise in hospital diagnoses of constipation in children, to research suggesting that the environment is far more important for ageing and longevity than our genes, and how squeaks from genetically engineered mice are providing insight into how human language may have emerged.

Welcome back to the second part of the Aevum Labs Series on Immune Health! In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, founder of the Boulder Longevity Institute, to explore the fascinating world of immunosenescence—the ageing of the immune system—and its connection to inflammaging, chronic inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Yurth explains how the decline of our immune system not only affects our resilience to infections but also plays a pivotal role in the development of chronic diseases, neurodegeneration, and overall cellular decline. We dive into how gut health, immune health, and cellular health are deeply interconnected, with 70–80% of our immune system residing in and around the gut. Learn how chronic systemic inflammation and gut permeability can break down your immune defenses and how you can turn back the clock on immune ageing. We also introduce our exciting new product developed in conjunction with Dr Yurth as a scientific advisor, from Aevum Labs—Rejuvenate—which is specifically designed to target immune decline, support cellular health, and reduce chronic inflammation. Dr. Yurth explains how the ingredients in Rejuvenate help restore immune vitality, protect brain health, and improve gut barrier integrity. Key Topics Discussed: What is immunosenescence? Understanding how and why our immune system declines with age. The link between chronic systemic inflammation (inflammaging) and ageing—why targeting inflammation is essential for longevity. The gut-immune connection: Why 70–80% of your immune system resides in the gut and how gut health affects brain health and systemic inflammation. Practical strategies to combat immune aging, from diet and lifestyle interventions to cutting-edge supplements.
In 2018, Doug Ford promised to end overcrowding in hospitals so that patients aren't relegated to hallways and other unconventional areas. Each party leader during this election has pledged considerable health care spending. Including more primary care doctors, and additional beds. But there may not be a one-size-fits-all solution. So, how does a new government tackle this complex issue that's been decades in the making? For insight, we welcome: Dr. Samir Sinha, director of health policy research at the National Institute on Ageing; Joanna Frketich, health reporter for the Hamilton Spectator; Rosalie Wynoch, associate director of research at the C.D. Howe Institute; Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition; and Paul Woods, CEO of Southlake Health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
My guest today is the novelist, journalist and critic Diana Evans. Diana is the award-winning author of four novels 26a, The Wonder, Ordinary People and A House for Alice. She has been shortlisted for countless awards including the Women's Prize and won the South Bank Sky Arts Award for Literature for Ordinary People. She has, as she puts it, been writing against invisibility her entire life. Before all that she was a dancer, with the Brighton-based African and Caribbean troupe Mashango, and then a journalist (she was arts and music editor of Pride magazine). Some of her best work is now published as I Want To Talk To You, a collection of essays in which she examines the personal and the political, interviews icons and looks at the realities of ageing and thwarted expectation. Like many of you listening, Diana is also a woman caught in the middle aged sandwich of children and parents. She joined me from her home in south London to talk ageing, experience and expectation. We covered compulsive worrying, growing up in a house of seven women, the hazards of being a “doer”, the pain of turning 50 without her twin, how caring for a parent can be “bigger than childbirth” and why we no longer need an aesthetic licence in middle age. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including I Want To Talk To You by Diana Evans and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

This week's guest is the Emmy award-winning American journalist Kate Fagan. Kate started out playing college basketball before making the move into sports journalism. She worked for the American cable channel ESPN (for brits, that's THE sports channel in the US) and wrote the number 1 NYT bestseller, What Made Maddy Run. Then, just before she turned 40 and at the top of her professional game, Kate took a hard left. She stepped away from the career that made her famous, moved to Charleston and married her wife Kathryn Budig. Now she's written a novel The Three Lives of Cate Kay that pushes all the buttons. A dissection of success and ambition, and the true cost of living a lie, it was Reese Witherspoon's first bookclub pick of the year. While Kate was on the Edinburgh leg of her book tour, she came to hang out in my flat and ply Sausage the cat with Dreamies (no cash has changed hands but he's always open to a conversation!) While she was here we discussed the moment she was bitten by the ambition bug (and how she's still struggling to shake it off), the lack of female sporting role models when she was a young athlete, coming out at 30 and The stories we tell ourself about what it means to be a successful human. We also chatted age dysmorphia, crossing the 40 threshold and the conversation she wishes she'd had with her mum. She also introduced me to the concept of TODs. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls at Pineapple Production.

In this episode, we're talking about strength - not weight, not size, but pure, functional strength. Because let's be honest, we can spend way too much time worrying about one and not nearly enough about the other!Strength is vital at any age, but as we hit midlife and beyond, it becomes essential. It boosts confidence, protects our bones, and keeps us active for longer. After all, what's the point of making it to 90 if you're too frail to enjoy it?To explore this, I'm joined by the brilliant Christien Bird, a familiar voice on The Happy Menopause podcast. A women's health physiotherapist with a passion for strength, Christien is in her early 60s, represents Team GB in triathlon for her age group, and has just signed up for an Ironman challenge - because she loves pushing herself! If anyone can inspire us to embrace strength, it's her.Together, we discuss:- The barriers holding women back from exercise – and when they start- Why strength is so important in midlife- How it plays a key role in avoiding frailty- Three different exercise personas - find out which one you are!- Practical tips for getting started, even if you're feeling shyTune in for an inspiring and empowering conversation that will change the way you think about strength!If you love The Happy Menopause, why not share it with your friends and family?

I was the very first person to interview Miranda July about All Fours this time last year. To say she was nervous about how it would be received was an understatement. "Will you have my back?" she asked me (and the rest of the female world) towards the end of our conversation. Yes, I said, yes we will. And how! Since then All Fours has taken the world by storm - women over 40 have a sex life, who knew?! So I've decided to replay this episode for everyone who's new to The Shift and new to midlife. ------ Every so often you get the chance to interview someone whose work has fascinated you for, well, forever. And today is one of those days. Miranda July is an artist, performer, film maker and writer who has been doing it her own way since she was in her teens. She has made three films - The Future, Me and You and Everyone We Know and Kajillionaire, held countless exhibitions, written several books and won a bunch of awards. You get the picture. Now 50, Miranda has turned her attention to midlife with her first novel in a decade. All Fours is a painful, poignant, hilarious and extremely hot exploration of what happens when “a curious, creative, sexually active woman reaches the midpoint of her life, goes off the oestrogen cliff and starts to question her direction?” It is wholly unlike anything else I've read about this life stage. And is sure to change a few games. Miranda joined me to talk about her own trip off the oestrogen cliff, reimagining relationships as we get older, conscious co-parenting and moving into the house in the backyard. We also discussed the menopause whisper network, outing herself as “no longer young”, getting out of the anxiety cul de sac and why ageing is “unexpectedly wild”. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including All Fours by Miranda July and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.
