I'm on a mission to change the conversation around ageing. Women's health – particularly as we age – has been underfunded and overlooked for far too long. And frankly, it's time we pushed back.

Through this podcast, I want to share the knowledge and tools that can help you thrive in later life by taking action today. Because here's what I've learned: decline isn't inevitable. And when we understan... more

  • Disappointed

    I enjoyed Liz Earle’s book so thought I’d give the podcast a go. Felt like the whole episode was a massive advert for the guest on. Product mentioned frequently by Liz, felt like every few minutes, and it really destroyed the message, flow and integrity of the podcast.

    Liz is doing incredible work for women in midlife by sharing her passion for pro-ageing. Her approach is grounded in science, and I really appreciate that she isn’t afraid to express her own feelings and strong opinions—even on topics others may find uncomfortable.

    You don’t have to agree with everything she says, but there’s something to be said for someone who speaks honestly from their own experience. It’s refreshing, authentic, and genuinely inspiring—more voices like this, please!

    I love nearly all your episodes Liz and you’ve helped me a huge amount as a woman in her 60s. Was not so much impressed by this episode however. The dr did not mention the evidence out there for gut microbiome impact on brain health. Would imagine that a pure carnivore diet would have an interesting effect on that ……….

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why metabolic health matters more than weight – with Ashley Koff
Q: What is weight health and how does it differ from traditional weight loss approaches?
Weight health focuses on signals from body composition—bone, muscle, fat, hydration—rather than the number on the scale. It considers hormonal regulation, gut health, and nutrient utilization to optimize health outcomes across life stages, especially during perimenopause and menopause.
Why metabolic health matters more than weight – with Ashley Koff
Q: Can we start with your personal relationship with weight and how it shaped your work?
Growing up, I faced teasing about my weight, which propelled me into dieting and later into recognizing that health could be decoupled from weight. That journey led me to a digestion-first framework and the concept of weight health instead of weight loss.
Strength training vs swimming – which is best after 45?
Q: Does swimming count as resistance training and is it enough on its own for someone in their sixties?
Swimming provides excellent cardiovascular endurance and muscle endurance but does not replace resistance training for building bone density or progressively overloaded muscle. To maximize health in older age, add 2 full-body strength sessions per week with progressively heavier loads, using simple exercises like squats, lunges, push-ups, and rows, and combine this with regular swimming.
Testosterone explained: what it does for women in midlife
Q: Sarah asks about chronically low vitamin D and how to manage sun exposure given her climate and schedule in Saudi Arabia.
Morning light supports circadian rhythm, while UVB exposure for vitamin D depends on latitude and season; in high-UV environments, protect skin and use guidance tools like circadian apps, consider vitamin D supplementation especially in winter months, and discuss safe, sensible sun exposure vs. sunbed alternatives for vitamin D synthesis.
Testosterone explained: what it does for women in midlife
Q: Anonymous listener asks about ferritin 15 and how to raise ferritin while starting or continuing HRT.
Ferritin of 15 indicates very low iron stores; addressing ferritin requires understanding iron status through a full blood count (hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, etc.), choosing the right iron form (ferrous variants with good tolerability), and timing with meals; dietary changes alone may be insufficient, and iron supplementation should be guided by a GP/pharmacist.
