Liz Earle MBE: “I’m 63, But My Biological Age Is 39 — Here’s Exactly What I Do”
Just As Well, The Women's Health PodcastShow Notes
How does Liz Earle MBE look and feel so incredible at 63 — and how did biological-age tests suggest she is 39?
In this brilliantly honest and hugely practical episode of Just As Well, Liz takes Claire Sanderson through a day in her life, revealing exactly what she does to stay fit, strong, energised and well.
From stepping outside into the morning light and going phone-free until 9am, to her creatine-and-collagen coffee, short but surprisingly serious strength workouts, daily movement and protein-rich meals, Liz shares the routines that have made the biggest difference to how she feels.
But this isn’t a story of effortless wellness. Liz opens up about feeling lost and unlike herself in her 40s, while navigating perimenopause, poor sleep, crippling headaches, mood changes, aching joints, tinnitus, the breakdown of her marriage and the demands of raising five children alongside a successful career.
She explains how HRT helped her get her sleep, strength and “mojo” back — and why she now feels fitter, stronger and happier in her 60s than she did in her 40s or 50s.
Liz also shares her views on muscle, menopause, supplements, skincare, SPF, sunlight, biological age, longevity and the simple things women can do — whatever their budget — to start feeling better.
