    What’s My Microbiome Again? - Branded episode with Yakult.  

    This episode of What’s My Age Again is a little bit different - Katherine isn’t revealing anyone’s biological age - but instead, revealing the secrets of our microbiomes and bunking myths about our guts.  It’s all thanks to our friends - and friendly bacteria - at Yakult sponsoring this episode.   Katherine and Dr Nichola Conlon are joined by award-winning nutrition scientist Dr Emily Prpa. In addition to holding a PhD from King’s College London, Emily also boasts a near-perfect gut-biome score so we know she practices what she preaches.    Dr Emily calls herself a ‘friendly neighbourhood food detective’, who specialises in studying how different foods can make our bodies and brains feel their best, cutting through the noise to provide simple tips to improve our everyday wellbeing.    This episode on gut health is so much more than a science lesson - expect to hear about how kissing swaps bacteria, babies eating charcuterie, how one woman ‘cured’ her mental health conditions with her husband’s poo, why a c-section won’t harm a babies microbiome, oh - and what on earth a crapsule is.     Thank you very much to our friends - and friendly bacteria - at Yakult for sponsoring this episode.

    Jedward: Their DNA is the same - but do the world's most famous twins share a biological age?

    John and Edward Grimes burst on to the scene in 2009 as a phenomenon on X-Factor, and have been a mainstay on the showbiz scene ever since. TV, movies, Eurovision: no one can escape this Irish duo's j-epic brand of entertainment. But what impact has more than 15 years of fame had on the boys as they became men? Their care-free, feel-good attitude is synonymous with the Jedward brand, but losing their mum at an early age, and playing the fame-game has had its own impact behind the scenes. Now 33, they've given Katherine Ryan a few drops of their blood to get it tested, so she can find out their biological age. As twins, their DNA is an exact match, so our resident scientist Dr Nichola Conlon explains how slight variations in diet and mindset could be a reason why their biological ages might differ...   And will the boys get competitive when the results are incoming?

    Katie Price – Katie is 47 but how old is her body? Will surgery and a life of trauma have affected her biological age?

    Katie Price says she’s in a better place than she’s ever been and at the age of 47 is finally fully in control of how she lives her life.    She’s been in the public eye since she was 18 years old and with sexual assault, 3 kidnap attempts and a hijack at gun point in South Africa she’s had way more than her fair share of trauma.

Katie is in perimenopause and Nichola talks about how that can also impact on your biological age.   Katie talks about sexual assault, trauma and abuse in this episode which some listeners and viewers might find upsetting.  You can find support organisations here:   www.hubofhope.co.uk i  Katie recorded this interview  before her birthday in May when she was 46.   Lead producer– Henrietta Harrison Social media -   Cassidy Rebelo Video Producer – Elena Cotton Video Producer– David May Artwork – Ben Watkins  Video Editor -  Paul Collins-Reddin  Head of Video – Edie Jefferys Sound Designer – James Stodd Chief CreatIve Officer – Lucie Cave
