SuperHuman Living Podcast

It is the final episode of season two and we are going out in a splash of colour and something a little different. George Reddings is a highly successful designer and creative in fashion, furniture, homewares and textiles. She has worked on iconic brands such as Gap, Victoria’s Secret, Mothercare and Next, as well as independent start-ups and celebrity collaborations including Little Bird. George is about to launch her new venture, Colour Story which is statement pieces, in mood-enhancing colours and sustainably made. As she puts it – versatile enough for brunch or the Baftas. George chatted to us about how the idea for Colour Story came from trying and failing to find exactly what she wanted in the shops. We talk about the psychology of colour, and how bright colours can raise our mood. The way a little colour “pop” makes all the difference. Ageing with agency means knowing yourself and knowing the style that works for you. The essence of Colour Story – no trends, no seasons, no fads, fabulous cuts, and silhouettes that suit you in every colour - is exactly what we all need.

How old are you? A simple question, with a simple answer, right? Wrong. In this episode, we chat with the brilliant Ryan Smith, co-founder and VP of TruDiagnostic. TruDiagnostic is a global leader in tests that measure our epigenome and uncover what it tells us about biological age. At the risk of oversimplifying something quite complex, biological age describes the real rate at which your body is ageing and there are various ways to measure it. Ryan invited us to test out their TruAge test. We did the required blood spot tests, and sent them off and in this episode, we talked to Ryan about the results. Am I ageing faster, or slower than my biological age? And what does it mean? I'm not telling you here, take a listen and find out. Without giving anything away, seeing my results from this test has been fascinating. It has inspired me to maintain lots that I do and it has motivated me to explore new habits in my longevity quest. Epigenome testing is still in its infancy in the longevity field, but there is no doubt that this will be the future of how we look at health optimisation.

In this episode, we welcome the brilliant Dr Meg Arroll to tell us all about her brand-new book “Tiny Traumas” If you have ever felt that things were not quite “right” but you struggled to put your finger on what exactly is wrong, this book will be a game changer. Tiny traumas are events that have happened to us over the years. They might not seem “significant” when we describe them, or even when they happened. They could even be things we do to ourselves, such as negative self-talk. Dr Meg explains how if we ignore them, they creep up and undermine or sabotage us. Dr Meg is a chartered psychologist, she discovered and developed her insights and approach to Tiny Traumas while working in academia and in clinical practice. The more we learned about this, through speaking to Meg and reading the book, it helped make sense of so many things that can undermine our self-esteem, our wellness, and our vitality. It’s definitely worth a read. Enjoy the podcast and to find out more about Meg and her work visit her website: https://www.drmegarroll.com/ Tiny Trauma is available at all good booksellers A few examples: Bookshop.org Amazon.co.uk

In this podcast, we dive into our inner geek and talk all about biological therapy and how it is the future of living stronger longer and ageing with agency. Our guest this week is Dr Konrad Slynarski, an internationally recognised orthopaedic specialist and pioneer in using cell and biological therapies for bone and skeletal health. It is well known that being active is the key to living stronger for longer, yet as we age we are more at risk of osteoarthritis and other types of aches and pains that can inhibit our activity and even stop us from doing the sport we love. The conventional approach to these issues has been painkillers or anti-inflammatory medication until the problem is so bad it requires a knee or hip replacement. Dr Konrad explains how all that has changed with the advent of injectable cell and biological treatments which can maintain our joints optimally. What’s so exciting about these therapies is that they engage the body’s potential to heal itself. They resolve the issue of ageing joints, rather than simply dealing with the symptoms. At about 30 mins in – there is a dialogue about the male / female difference in the experience of pain that Dr Konrad sees. Plus, we look at how nutrition and lifestyle can optimise the impact of these biological therapies. You can contact Dr Konrad directly on dr@slynarski.pl Or via zuzanna@theregenerativeclinic.co.uk at www.theregenerativeclinic.co.uk Dr Konrad’s bio: Dr. Slynarski completed his MD and Ph.D. degrees at The Medical University of Warsaw, Poland, and completed research fellowships at Case Western University in Cleveland, USA, with Prof. Arnold Caplan on Mesenchymal Stem Cells - based cartilage repair (funded by the Polish-American Kosciuszko Foundation), and also with Prof. Matts Brittberg, Sweden. He subsequently completed a knee fellowship with Prof. Rene Verdonk, Belgium. He was a principal investigator in several comprehensive clinical studies on osteoarthritis, cartilage repair, osteotomy, medial knee load-absorber and patello-femoral unloading. He works on development and improvement of knee joint preservation procedures, including osteotomy and cell-based therapies for cartilage repair. He organized several symposia and courses in the field of cartilage repair, including Warsaw ICRS World Congress in 2007, Polish Arthroscopy Society Congresses and Warsaw Joint Preservation Congress. Dr. Slynarski was Head of several private sports medicine centers in Warsaw. He was a President od Polish Arthroscopy Society, member of Education Committee of International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS), Cartilage Committee, Meniscus Committee and Osteotomy Committee of European Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery, and Arthroscopy (ESSKA).

Perhaps, like most people, you know what you should be eating, but somehow it doesn’t always go to plan. Our relationship with food and our appetite cues can trigger us to either overeat or eat the wrong things and it’s a topic that probably hasn’t had the coverage it should and that certainly fascinates us at SHL. We asked Dr Helen McCarthy, clinical psychologist to come on the pod and talk to us about how she helps people to retrain their appetite. Dr Helen shares how she helps people get back into touch with their hunger signals which leads to a sense of freedom and increased pleasure from food. We talk about: This episode is full of simple practical tips to help you understand your own appetites, cravings and emotional eating To find out more about Dr Helen and her work, which includes some brilliant webinars Follow her on Instagram Go to her website Connect with her on Linked In Or buy her book How to Retrain Your Appetite

Hello, and welcome back to series 2 If you are wondering what we did to Pioneers of Ageing we decided to rename ourselves the Super Human Living podcast. We kick off series 2 with the brilliant Deanna Minich. Deanna Minich, MS, PhD, CNS, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (IFMCP), is a nutrition scientist, international lecturer, teacher, and author, with over twenty years of experience in academia and in the food and dietary supplement industries. When we saw she had published a paper on Melatonin where she called it “The next Vitamin D” we knew we had to talk to her. The big myth about melatonin is that it’s “just about jet lag”. The truth is rooted deep inside our bodies. Our mitochondria are colloquially known as the powerhouses of our cells. Keeping these running actively and smoothly is critical for longevity. Melatonin, the hormone of darkness, does exactly that. Melatonin is highly concentrated in the mitochondria membrane where it helps to quell the oxidative burst of activity coming from our mitochondria. Deanna explains all this as well as knowing if you have enough and the difference between synthetic and the form found in plants.

This feels like a fitting finale to series 1! (Series 2 will be back in September!) We talk to Rebekah Brown, founder of mPowder winner of Hip & Healthy’s Best Health Product of the Year, 2022. She shares how it was frustration and lack of information coupled with a shot of anger – as she experienced worrying symptoms during what would turn out to be, her own perimenopause that led her into this journey. Her ambition is to empower people to embrace and take agency for part 2 of their lives. Rebekah shares How she applied her research background to menopause and how she has taken consumer-led research and evolutionary approach to developing products, supported by natural health practitioners and doctors that work and support women. We talked about the process of reframing menopause, how we as a society need that, and how transformational it can be for individuals who do. She has created a fantastic community of people sharing their stories, collaborating on building a product and building agency for their own health and wellness.

This episode is something a little bit different and something rather special We talk to Fran Millar, CEO of Belstaff and Jodie Harrison, Global Brand Director for Belstaff. Belstaff is one of those iconic British brands, which is transforming itself to stay as relevant today as it always has been. Fran has come from the world of Elite Cycling, as CEO of Team Ineos, and before that was central to Team Sky. She has been instrumental in transforming British Cycling and for all those British winners we celebrated at the Tour de France and the Olympics. Jodie has also worked on iconic brands such as Soho House and Mr Porter and has a phenomenal track record in creative and brand strategy. We start by talking about their personal transformations in their own careers. Fran shared how she brought all she knew about high-performance sport into building a team and a culture she is genuinely proud of. For Jodie, the red thread has always been communication. We moved into the transformation journey they are embarked on for the Belstaff brand and the Old is Good campaign. The campaign is built on a very simple insight: Belstaff makes stuff that is built to last a lifetime. The age of the brand, indeed a Belstaff jacket or other item is one of the most beautiful things about it. They wanted to celebrate that truth and the people who wear it. It is a brilliantly authentic campaign which we absolutely love and cant wait to see more of. A way to celebrate and give a voice to people who have something to say. Something we wholeheartedly support at Pioneers of Ageing.

What can we say about this episode? It is a corker as we talk to Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel, an Integrative Medicine doctor, scientist and educator and Directly of award-winning Synthesis Clinic. She is a font of all knowledge on female health and frankly we could have spoken to her all day. We started with her route into integrative medicine, she describes herself as a scientists first and how it was following the science and asking “why” that led her into lifestyle medicine, nutrition, breath work and the many other modalities she uses At the heart of what she does, is to “treat people, not protocols” – it is all about personalisation. She is strong advocate for individuals to become agents for their own health and wellness. On coaching and helping people to change she talks about the importance of understanding behavioural change and motivational techniques. As Dr Nina says: “Lifestyle medicine is the most invasive thing you can do; it asks you to change everything you do from the moment you get up”. To support someone making those changes we have to connect with their “why”. Reprioritising the art of human relationships is something she strongly believes in; listening, being curious, being open. On breathwork, no one walks out of her clinic without a breathwork prescription. Sher references the work by James Nestor and his book Breath as a brilliant starting point (she says Wim off the blackbelt, this is more of an entry point. https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/. She also mentioned https://www.instagram.com/breathpod/ (Stuart Sandeman) (NB Dr Nina says breath work can be too much for an individual who has experienced trauma). We chatted about autoimmune thyroid disease and she shared the 3 key factors she considers for each individual: Genetics Gut microbiome Immune regulation Find out more about Dr Nina’s work at: https://www.synthesisclinic.co.uk/ https://www.drninafullershavel.com/ Dr Nina´s full Bio is MB BChir MA Hons (Cantab) IFMCP DipIM PG Cert DipION RYT300 Precision Health & Integrative Medicine Doctor, Scientist and Educator Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel is an Integrative Medicine doctor, scientist and educator with degrees in Medicine and Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge, as well as an ongoing MSc in Precision Cancer Medicine at the University of Oxford.

This episode gets deep and personal as we chat with Katie Phillips, transformational coach, author, founder of The School of Self Love and TED-X speaker. Katie shares her story, the challenges she faced and her rock-bottom moment that led her to write a new story for herself and ultimately to her finding her calling; working with single women in their 40s. There was something so personal in this episode. We talk about transgenerational trauma and how this has affected all of us in our lives. A lot of Katie’s work focuses on dating women in their 40’s. She shares what she means by the “scarcity” self-talk and how this can sabotage us (and busted me for doing exactly that during the interview!) Katie shares her perspective on mid-life – that it is such an exciting time with huge opportunities. It’s a time when we truly know ourselves and we have wisdom and experience – what’s not to love about that - in fact, it is everything that we are celebrating here at Pioneers of Ageing If you want to find out more about Katie you can do so here: web: www.theschoolofself.love Instagram: @KatiePhillipsWithLove She also has a FREE event coming up: ‘MEET YOUR SOUL MATE EXPERIENCE’ FREE 5 day challenge reveals how entrepreneurial single women can boost self confidence, self trust and self worth TO ATTRACT YOUR SOUL MATE by taking you on an empowering inner journey. https://katiephillips661.lpages.co/meet-your-soul-mate/

This episode is truly magickal as we talk to Katy Theakston, founder of Owl and the Apothecary and dive into her “modern witchery for the wild and wonderful woman”. We are inspired by many things from the wonderful Katy, but a recent gem in her newsletter called out to us: "We are here. We are alive. Let us celebrate everything about ourselves in this lifetime. The wild, the wonderful and the weird. Bring them all in. For we are the non-ordinaries." We have talked about reinvention a few times across this first series and Katy shares her absolute masterclass on how to do a reinvention. She left a fast-paced high profile design and digital world in London for Dorset. There she set about solo parenting, healing from a broken heart and mastering ancient sacred rituals Katy talked to us about her reinvention journey, what led to it and how she got to the point where she gave birth to her business within a few weeks of each other. She shares the beauty of how her life now brings together threads that have existed at different points in her life and the importance of power and connection within the rituals she now practices her day. Katy shared how she structures her day, to give her the connection she needs to be “Katy” at the same time as honouring her business and motherhood.

In this episode, we talk to Katie Waldegrave MBE. Katie is the co-founder and director of the career change charity Now Teach. Previous to Now Teach she co-founded First Story, an education charity helping children to learn to write stories and was Head of History at Cranford Community College. Her first book - The Poets' Daughters was published in 2013. She graduated from Oxford in 2003 and lives in London with her husband and three children. Katie received an MBE in 2021 for her outstanding contribution to the community. We were so thrilled to bring Katie on the show. We have talked about the concept of transformation and re-invention in the age of longevity and when we heard about Now Teach we realised this is a brilliant way to facilitate that transformation. Katie tells us about the inspiration that led her and Lucy Kellaway to set up Now Teach. We talked about the circular benefits, to children, schools, individual teachers and the community. We chat about the aspects of ageism that exist in us all and the vital role that Now Teach plays in breaking those down across all generations. We have talked about role models for longevity in earlier episodes, in Now Teach role modelling works in two directions, with younger teachers reverse-mentoring the older teachers. And how this leads to broader, societal and community impact. It is a fascinating and inspiring conversation, once again demonstrating the beauty and power in our hands as we continue to reinvent what it means to age.

In this episode, we talk to Lorna Driver-Davies, Naturopath and nutritionist with a specialism in female health. She is head of nutrition at Wild Nutrition and we love how she is making information on female health more inclusive and available through her team of Nutrition advisors at Wild Nutrition. In preparing for this conversation, Lorna had told us her mother had what she described as: “a successful Menopause”. We found this such an inspiring phrase – why had we never heard that expression before? It very much formed the red thread that ran through this conversation. How greater awareness around nutrition and hormones – driven by culture, science and the media - is changing the narrative of menopause and the nutrition and health information they seek from their physicians and beyond. Despite this, there is still a long way to go to democratise and share this information with a wider audience – not just those who can afford private health care. Lorna shared her vision for women’s health and a new appreciation of longevity. As she said: “You get a lot of integrated help now for Fertility, I want to see the same level of support for peri-menopause and menopause” Given the vital role female hormones play in brain and cardiovascular health – it is so vital for our future health. Lorna shared her top tips for women who want to take charge of their longevity: https://www.wildnutrition.com/https://dutchtest.com/ We also asked her to share her top tips for glowing skin: Green teaTurmericBlueberryRosemaryCruciferous VegBeetsEggsOrganic liverSeedsSalmonShiitake mushroomSpinach Find out more about Lorna directly: https://www.lornadriverdavies.com/ And on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lornadriverdavies/

In this episode we talk to Sandra Peat, a brand consultant who has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world, including Mars, CocaCola, Kelloggs, Red Bull and Bacardi. Sandra is also an executive coach with a specialism in supporting people as they step up and into leadership roles, by helping them to find their authentic leadership style, in their work or any area of their life. Along with POA co-host Rebecca, Sandra cofounded SuperHuman a Strategic Communications agency which helped brands to understand and connect with women - working across a range of sectors, from Fashion to Automotive. They commissioned research in 2018 into the way women in their 40’s and 50’s perceive the way brands and society view them. The research report is called: Invisible Middle – the coming of age for “middle aged” women and we discuss the findings and what it means to all of us. While 85% of purchasing decisions are made by women, 91% of those women feel advertisers don’t understand them. It is a crazy statistic and we talk about why this is and perhaps more importantly how can we change it. Some of the topics covered include: How the new narrative for “middle age” is part of a wider appreciation of inclusion, representation of all the individuals and how we need to normalise the experience of ageing. The paradox is that, with age, women have a richness of experience and come into their own, more confident, up for experiences yet at the same time they can feel so invisible from a physicality point of view. The importance of honesty and authenticity – to ourselves and to others around us, Sandra shared examples of how she inspires and showcases this for others in her team, what she refers to as “empathy tools”. Whether we need to rebrand “middle age” – how the associations of the term middle age are totally at odds with the experience of it, and how the reality of it is more about a re-set and a “coming of a new age” – realising the potential of this phase of life. We finish by talking about how we can prepare our body and brain for this transformation phase – which will allow us to step up and “own” the physical and mental transformation that occurs during the menopause transition.

Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas is an internationally recognised clinical neuroscientist and applied microbiologist with a research focus on the connection between the gut and the brain. He is a lecturer in microbiome science and mental health at London South Bank University. Miguel is known as “The Gut Brain Doctor” and his Instagram feed is always full of scientific insight in a creative and wonderfully engaging way. Go follow him https://www.instagram.com/drmiguelmateas/ In this episode, we start with a chat about the microbiome and the gut-brain link, and take an interesting diversion into focussing on the brain to gut direction. Miguel shares how a period of ill-health and growing anxiety, plus a diagnosis of ADHD led him to a much deeper appreciation of the nuances around how our brain impacts the gut. This pivotal point for him led to a much more integrated and softer approach to health and wellness, including reconnecting to his passion for music and how that has probably helped to re-wire the brain. It’s a fascinating conversation covering topics such as rabbit poo, dog kisses and DJ-ing, via dos-ordered eating (orthorexia) and neuro-diversity. The take-away, if there is one – is that with age comes the self-awareness and self-knowledge which allows us to flourish and age, gracefully, fantastically and continue to grow and learn.

This is a new segment where we reflect and debrief on previous episodes. We had a fantastic response to episode 1, with Dr Kara Fitzgerald. We covered a lot of ground in that episode and a lot of it was quite in-depth into the science, so unsurprisingly there were quite a few questions! We answer these in this episode and share our own experiences and reflections on the Younger You programme. This is a helpful analogy to understand epigenetics and DNA methylation!

In this episode we talk to Sarah Clift a creative and visionary film director and writer. With a first career writing award-winning advertisement campaigns in London agencies, Sarah made the bold transition to writing and directing her own films and has made two award winning short films. Sarah’s second short film, THE BIRTH OF VALERIE VENUS, co-funded by the BFI NETWORK, has won numerous awards and qualified for Oscar Consideration and was BAFTA Longlisted for Best British Short Film in 2021. Sarah is currently in development on her feature film SPINSTERHOOD set in 1800 Yorkshire (we can’t wait!!). Sarah celebrates women of all ages in her films and in this conversation we chat about: “I wasn’t really seeing things on screen about sensuality of sexuality that felt believable to me” Sarah Clift We loved this conversation and all of Sarah’s work, go and follow her on Instagram to find out more about her https://www.instagram.com/scliftuk/
