Preventive Healthcare: How to Stay Healthy After 40

Can a supplement you swallow reduce skin aging? Can it help with wrinkles, dryness and loss of firmness? In this episode, I explore GliSODin, an SOD supplement, with François Vix, founder of ISOCELL, the company behind it. If you've noticed your skin changing in your 40s or 50s, you've probably considered creams and serums. But could something you swallow help keep your skin looking younger? François spent years working with major cosmetics brands before moving into supplements. We discuss superoxide dismutase (SOD), its role in the body's antioxidant defences, and why he believes skincare from the inside out deserves more attention. We explore: Why skin ages, including changes in collagen, elastin and skin hydration.

How to detox your body is a question that often leads to juice cleanses and quick fixes. But what if you're eating healthy food, exercising and sleeping enough, yet still struggling with low energy, fatigue, brain fog or a general feeling that you're not well? I'm joined by registered dietitian Angela Jenkins to explore a root cause healthcare approach: looking more closely at what might be contributing to how you feel. Angela shares how she investigated her own low energy and a feeling of being unwell and discovered cadmium exposure, an experience that changed the way she works with clients. We talk about the body's natural detoxification processes, how to detox the right way and when professional guidance is important. We also discuss possible environmental exposures, including mould in the home, heavy metals, plastics and everyday household products. Finally, Angela explains why real food, eating local produce and regenerative agriculture play a such a key part of of lasting health and wellness. If you've been feeling unwell without a clear explanation, this conversation offers hope and practical steps you can take to regain your health and vitality.

Digital eye strain—also known as computer vision syndrome—can leave your eyes feeling dry, gritty and tired after hours spent looking at a computer, phone or tablet. You may also experience blurred vision, headaches, difficulty refocusing and even neck or shoulder pain. In this episode, we explore what causes digital eye strain and why prolonged screen time can change the way you focus and blink. You'll learn how to reduce eye strain from screens by adjusting your monitor position, increasing the text size, improving your lighting and dealing with screen glare. We also examine the 20-20-20 rule, the importance of taking regular screen breaks and why making a few slow, complete blinks may help with dry eyes. You'll discover whether blue-light-blocking glasses really work, how air conditioning and contact lenses can contribute to eye discomfort, and when persistent symptoms should be checked by an optometrist. If you spend much of your working day in front of a screen, these simple changes could make your eyes feel considerably better.

How do you recover after a tough work day when you can't stop thinking about work? In this episode, we explore practical ways to manage work stress, mentally switch off and prevent a stressful day at work from taking over your evening. You'll learn how to distinguish useful reflection from unhelpful rumination, create a clear boundary between work and home, and use a simple end-of-day routine to park unfinished tasks until tomorrow. We also look at psychological detachment from work, transition rituals for remote workers, gentle exercise, slow breathing and activities that help your mind and body move out of work mode. Whether you're struggling with workplace stress, working from home or simply finding it difficult to unwind after work, these realistic strategies can help you relax, protect your work-life balance and feel more like yourself again.

Most of us know that sitting all day isn't ideal and you may have heard people talking about movement breaks. But how often should you get up from your desk—and can a two-minute walk really make a difference? In this episode, I explore the benefits of movement breaks at work and how breaking up prolonged sitting may support blood sugar control, circulation, energy, concentration and workplace wellbeing. You'll discover what counts as a movement break, how long one should last and practical ways desk workers can move more during the workday without disrupting productivity. We examine some of the health risks of sitting all day and consider whether regular movement breaks can ease back and neck stiffness. You'll also hear simple strategies including short walking breaks, office movement exercises, taking the stairs, walking during phone calls and using a walking pad when working from home. Can exercise compensate for a sedentary working day? And should you take a movement break every hour? If you have a desk job and regularly realise you haven't moved for hours, this episode offers a realistic way to reduce sitting time at work. Newsletter https://stayhealthylivelonger.substack.com
