  • #172 Why Spermidine Could Be the Answer To Healthy Ageing; With Longevity Expert Leslie Kenny

    #172 Why Spermidine Could Be the Answer To Healthy Ageing; With Longevity Expert Leslie Kenny
    Jun 8 2026
    What if one of the biggest missing pieces in healthy ageing starts at a cellular level?

    In this fascinating conversation with longevity expert Leslie Kenny, we explore the science behind spermidine, a naturally occurring compound linked to autophagy, cellular renewal and healthy ageing.

    Leslie shares her own extraordinary health journey after being diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions and how it led her to investigate the lifestyle and nutritional strategies now shaping the future of longevity science.

    We also discuss why midlife can feel like such a turning point for women, from fatigue and brain fog to metabolic and hormonal changes, and how supporting the body’s natural repair processes may play an important role in ageing well.

  • #171 Gut Health After Menopause - Why Your Microbiome Matters for Healthy Ageing

    #171 Gut Health After Menopause - Why Your Microbiome Matters for Healthy Ageing
    Feb 10 2026
    In this video, I share an excerpt from my book Life After Menopause, focusing on the final “E” in the EMBRACE protocol - Elimination - and why gut and microbiome health becomes so important after menopause.

    Your gut's role is far more than just digestion. It influences inflammation, immunity, nutrient absorption, hormone balance, weight, mood and brain health. Hormonal changes after menopause, combined with years of diet, stress and medications, can significantly affect the gut microbiome, with wide ranging effects on how we age.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • what the gut microbiome is and why it’s often called the “second brain”
    • how menopause affects gut health, hormone metabolism and the gut–brain axis
    • simple, practical ways to support your microbiome through diet and lifestyle
    I also explain when lifestyle changes aren’t enough and why testing can provide clarity. Towards the end of the video, you'll learn about our new Microbiome Explorer test, an advanced gut microbiome test using metagenomic sequencing to show not just which microbes are present, but what they are doing in the gut.

    This episode is based on an excerpt from Life After Menopause; https://happyhormonesforlife.com/life-after-menopause.

  • #170 Is the Weight-Loss Jab Enough? Understanding the Emotional Side of Eating

    #170 Is the Weight-Loss Jab Enough? Understanding the Emotional Side of Eating
    Nov 7 2025
    In this week’s episode, I’m joined by emotional and disordered eating specialist Lisa Unger for an honest look at the rise of weight loss injections and the impact they can have. We explore how weight, food and wellbeing are deeply tied to our emotions, self esteem and body image.

    Lisa explains why medications like Ozempic can help some people, especially those with Type 2 diabetes, yet rarely create lasting change unless we also address the underlying drivers of our eating behaviours.

    We touch on the emotional layers that so often sit beneath overeating, why focusing only on food keeps us stuck, and how nurturing body esteem, self trust and emotional resilience leads to sustainable, long term change.
