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.

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 - 34min - 686 - 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 dogLinks mentioned in the episode:

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 - 31min - 667 - Food, fasting, and your ageing brain – with Dr Mindy Pelz
Your brain changes as you age, but Dr Mindy Pelz says that's not a bad thing. She explains how fasting might be one of the most powerful tools for your ageing brain, which two supplements could make a real difference to both your thinking and your achy joints, why finding purpose matters more than ever when motivation starts to wane, the surprising link between storytelling and memory, and how the bacteria in your gut could be naturally lifting your mood.

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 - 58min - 666 - Protein, fibre and the biohacks women need in midlife – with Rhian Stephenson
Nutritionist and ARTAH founder Rhian Stephenson joins Liz to explain why biohacking doesn't need to be extreme – and reveal the simple, powerful fundamentals that actually transform how we feel in midlife. They discuss why most women aren't hitting their protein targets (and how to frontload your day without relying on powders), and a simple supplement stack for healthy ageing. Rhian also shares how creatine supports not just muscle but brain energy, and why VO2 max is a more potent predictor of early death than obesity or smoking. They also discuss the free biohacks – like contrast showers and 40 push-ups – that require zero fancy equipment.
This episode is sponsored by ARTAH who are offering listeners of the show 15% off supplements and reset plans with the code LIZLOVES.
