Postcards From Midlife

Have a shelf full of vitamins but not sure what if anything they are doing for you? Trish & Lorraine get to the bottom of what we need to take & why in our midlife years, including the one essential we are all most likely missing (big clue: it’s Co-enzyme Q10). Joined by guest Jennifer O’Connell - triathlete, former lawyer & co-founder of The Elevator by Sisterly one & done multivitamin sachets - they discuss why our nutrient needs & ability to absorb them change as we age as well as how to track if they are really making a difference. They also share the science that says there’s no reason we shouldn’t expect to have day-long energy, strong bones & muscles, manageable stress, low inflammation, a strong immune system plus glowing skin, hair and nails .

Plus: Brainfog bloopers are back!

Brought to you by Standard Life to raise awareness of Power of Attorney Day

Trish & Lorraine tackle the never-ending midlife to do list & the biggest causes of the 3am wake up & worry. Joined by Alison Harvie of Carers UK, they discuss why having Power of Attorney in place for you & your loved ones can ensure peace of mind for so many of life’s potential curve balls. Find out who needs one (that’ll be all of us, even if you are married, have a next of kin or are 18 & over & especially if you are a carer), the practicalities of getting one, how to talk to an elderly relative or dependent about why it’s in their best interest to have one, as well as the emotional & financial costs of not having one. A fascinating 30 minute must listen.

(PS: Can you guess which of your hosts does & doesn’t have a Power of Attorney?!!)
