F*ck, I’m Nearly 50!Show Notes
Season 2 · Episode 2 | Pascale Helyar-Moray “I should probably understand my super.” If that thought keeps coming round and you keep putting it off, come and have a listen.

Season 2 · Episode 9 | Camilla Thompson Another test, another tracker, another thing we’re apparently supposed to be doing. Have we made health too complicated? Camilla Thompson and I ask whether looking after ourselves has become another bloody job — and how we make room for a life we actually want to live. Camilla is the founder of BioHackMe. I confess that the word biohacking gives me the ick, even as I find myself drawn to the data and experiments. We get into individual differences, the ...
Season 2 · Episode 8 | Ash BG The milk, the school bags, the appointment nobody else remembered. If you’re tired of being the person who notices everything, come and have a listen.

Dawid is the founder of Pathfindr. We move from AI as an adviser to tools that can carry out tasks, then get into small business, education, career changes and the human judgement that still ...
Season 2 · Episode 6 | Karen Van Esveld For years, I thought eating well and exercising was enough. Then Karen asked whether I’d ever had a DEXA scan. That question took our chat somewhere quite different: what do I want my body to keep doing for the next 30 years? Karen and I talk about bones, muscle, nutrition and understanding our own health information. We get into the difference between bone-density and body-composition scans, the changes around menopause, and why the answer isn’t simp...
Season 2 · Episode 5 | Elkie Hughes Before signing up to be a “better version” of ourselves, shall we ask who decided the current version needed fixing? Elkie Hughes and I get into the expectations we pick up from family, work, society and that voice in our heads. This chat gave me plenty to question. Elkie is the founder of Be Your Happy. She shares her perspective on the beliefs we carry, the moments that shape our sense of worth, and accepting the parts of ourselves that aren’t all neat an...
