  • Dangerously poor advice

    Really terrible podcast that exploits women at one of their most vulnerable phases in life. Terribly inaccurate and harmful content.

  • Life changing advice for midlifers

    James and Claire are my trusted source, go to support and comforting peers through this midlife rollercoaster. When your emotions are all over the place and you are bombarded with information, it’s been a life saver to have you guys there who I trust not only are up to date qualified but also experienced in all of this stuff for me to know what to do. Thank you sooo much and keep up the good work!

  • Jam packed with relatable, empowering info

    I’ve recently started listening to James & Claire and really enjoy their approach. Each podcast is jam packed with takeaway tips - either from their own experience, from evidence based research, or a combination of the two. They cover so many important topics, always in a really relatable chatty style. Highly recommend for anyone on a health journey wanting to dig deeper into what derails us, why, and how to stay on track.
