Age Better with Liz Earle
af Liz Earle
Is it ever too late to start strength training? – with Kate Oakley
Om denne podcast
I'm on a mission to change the conversation around ageing. Women's health – particularly as we age – has been underfunded and overlooked for far too long. And frankly, it's time we pushed back.
Through this podcast, I want to share the knowledge and tools that can help you thrive in later life by taking action today. Because here's what I've learned: decline isn't inevitable. And when we understand what our bodies truly need, we really can age better.
