#146 Men's Health; Ageing And The Andropause
26 APR 2024 · I'm flipping the script today to talk about men’s health, with Ross Tomkins, mens health advocate and founder of Alphagenix. He’s also the author of 'Ageing and the Andropause'.
Ross was introduced to me by my dad, who had been instrumental in diagnosing him with low thyroid and testosterone in his 30’s and getting him back to full health. And he has since gone on to support other men with hormone replacement therapy through his company Alphagenix.
Ross explains what happens to men as they age, what is andropause, what to look out for, and how to get the right support. It’s an important conversation - we have come such a long way with menopause, but there’s really not much awareness of andropause and its effects on the men in our lives.

#145 Heart Health for Women: Natural Tips For A Happy Heart

Heart disease is often perceived as a “man's disease”, but it’s actually the leading cause of death among women over the age of 50.
What's even more concerning is that almost two-thirds of women who die suddenly from coronary heart disease show no previous symptoms.
The good news is that there's lots you can do naturally to look after your heart health.

#144 From Wheelchair To Weightlifting Champion; How Kim Muscled Her Way Back To Health
24 MAR 2024 · Kim Rahir is an inspiration to any woman in midlife. A busy mum of 3, she was diagnosed with MS at the age of 50 and told she would be on medication for the rest of her life. She felt powerless, so she decided to start strength training alongside her medical treatment to just feel more confident.
As she got stronger, she not only felt happier, but her body started healing. Today she has no sign of MS in her body. Not only that, In 2023 (at the age of 60), she became European Champion in Masters Weightlifting in her age and weight category.
Her journey inspired her to leave her career in journalism in her 50s and become a health coach for middle aged women - with a big focus on reactivating and rebuilding muscle.
I hope you’re as inspired as I was by Kim’s story. You’re never too old to start strength training (or anything else that makes you feel good!).

#143 4 Simple Breathwork Techniques That Can Reduce Stress And Improve Your Health
29 FEB 2024 · Unless you live in a bubble, you won't have escaped the buzz about breathwork in recent years. If you've done yoga or Pilates, you'll know about the benefits, and of course 'Ice Man' Wim Hoff has made his breathwork practice famous.
Despite its recent popularity, breathwork is far from a new phenomenon. Across diverse cultures, it has been practiced for millennia. These days, breathing has evolved into a thriving industry, with a plethora of courses, coaches, and retreats promising transformative experiences.
But you might still be a bit skeptical. Surely breathing is something we all do automatically, the body knows how to breathe right?
Well it used to, but apparently our modern world has made it much more difficult for us to breathe properly. And scientists now are attributing poor breathing to many health related issues, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and poor immune function.
Discover the amazing health benefits of proper breathing, and 4 simple techniques you can start right away.

#142 The Truth About Olive Oil And Why Quality Matters - with Sarah Vachon
16 FEB 2024 · I’ve always known olive oil is good for us, it’s a staple of the Mediterranean diet and well known for it’s health benefits. But I didn’t know quite how much these benefits depended on the quality of the oil and where it came from.
Until I met Sarah Vachon, olive oil sommelier and founder of Citizens of Soil. She explained to me the vital difference between olive oil and extra virgin olive oil, and how to buy and store your olive oil to maximise those health benefits.
I love the ethos of Sarah’s company, not only making the best and freshest olive oil available to us, but championing female growers all around Europe who use regenerative farming methods and produce the highest quality oils.
