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 understand what our bodies truly need, we really can age better. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Hormones or histamine? Understanding your midlife symptoms – with Dr Clare Ashby

    Could your anxiety, brain fog, IBS and itchy skin be signs of something more than midlife hormonal changes? Dr Clare Ashby, histamine intolerance and MCAS specialist joins Liz to reveal the condition that's often overlooked – and how it can make HRT less effective. In this episode, Liz and Clare discuss how symptoms we might have normalised for years could be signs of histamine intolerance, how it can be confused with perimenopause, and how healthy diet choices could be working against us. Clare also explains how hormones and histamines work together, the food and lifestyle adjustments that can reduce reactivity, and the simple over-the-counter remedy that can make the world of difference. In this episode: • How hormone changes in midlife can lead to histamine imbalance • The signs you may be histamine intolerant • Why your HRT might not be working effectively • Is avocado on sourdough making you ill? • The surprising link between mast cell disorder, hypermobility, ADHD and IBS • How over-the-counter antihistamines can help more than hay fever Links mentioned in the episode: • Pulsetto: https://lizearlewellbeing.com/product/pulsetto/pulsetto/ • Neurosim: https://nurosym.com/en-gb • The Gupta natural healing programme: https://guptaprogram.com • The British Dietetic Association: https://www.bda.uk.com Get in touch with a question for Liz: - Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.com - WhatsApp: 07518 471 846 More from Liz: • Preorder Liz's new book – How to Age: https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Age-Supercharge-Health-Better/dp/1399723715 • A Better Second Half: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1399723677?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1695723884&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=lizearlewellb-21&linkId=5eefa1edb4d033e84befc25728bebcf0&language=en_GB&ref_=as_li_ss_tl • Follow Liz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizearleme/ • Follow Liz Earle Wellbeing on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizearlewellbeing/ Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.

    Is alcohol doing more damage in midlife than you realise? – with Prof David Nutt

    Most of us know alcohol isn’t ideal for our health. But the specific ways it affects the brain, gut, hormones and our sleep, and why those effects become more pronounced as we age, are less well understood.

In this episode: ·     Why alcohol affects women’s bodies differently – and more so in midlife ·     What’s actually causing your hangover (it’s not just dehydration) ·     How alcohol damages the gut and suppresses your immune system ·     When even one drink disrupts deep, restorative sleep ·     The brain chemical that makes us want to drink – and how to get it in other ways ·     What drives addiction and why so many people use alcohol to manage stress, anxiety and trauma ·      What cutting back for just one month can do for key health markers ·     The growing world of functional alcohol alternatives Links mentioned: ·     Liz’s previous podcast with Prof David Nutt ·     Drug Science ·     SENTIA drinks More from David ·     Follow David on X Get in touch with a question for Liz: Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.comWhatsApp: 07518 471 846  More from Liz: Preorder Liz’s new book, How to AgeA Better Second Half Follow Liz on InstagramFollow Liz Earle Wellbeing on Instagram  Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.

    Is a 'light deficiency' quietly ageing you faster? – with Professor Glen Jeffery

    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 dog Links mentioned in the episode: Anti blue light glasses Get in touch with a question for Liz: Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.comWhatsApp: 07518 471 846 More from Liz: Preorder Liz’s new book – How to AgeA Better Second Half Follow Liz on InstagramFollow Liz Earle Wellbeing on Instagram Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.
