Age Better with Liz Earle

Age Better with Liz Earle

Liz Earle

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.

  • 760 - Rethinking retirement: why work could be key to ageing well – with Lyndsey Simpson

    We’ve been sold the idea that retirement is the ultimate goal, but could stopping work abruptly leave us feeling bored, isolated and without purpose? Lyndsey Simpson, founder of 55/Redefined, joins Liz to explore why gradually cutting back on work while bringing more interests into our lives might be healthier for us.
