Show Notes

In a special episode, Kathryn Thomas talks to consultant geriatrician Dr Shane O’Hanlon about one of her favourite subjects: ageing!

Dr. O’Hanlon provides Kathryn with expertise on all aspects of healthy aging - with the aim of improving quality of life and longevity. Dr. O’Hanlon explains how simple changes in your lifestyle can make a huge difference to the quality of your life and potentially help you live longer. Unsurprisingly, exercise plays a huge part, alongside a healthy diet, which is music to Kathryn’s ears.

Shane explains the latest groundbreaking treatments available to treat Alzheimer's, how hearing loss and loneliness can have adverse effects on your mental health and why our use of AI might not be a completely bad thing.
