For anyone struggling with addiction, this is an inspiring and life affirming listen.   

Katherine talks to the open and funny Bryony Gordon about how a former life of alcohol abuse, cocaine addiction and binge eating may have impacted on her biological age.  She shares the seediest sides of that life and how she’s overcome her demons with running, a loving family and a positive outlook on food and her body.  She’s 8 years sober and that’s really when life began in technicolour for her.   But will she have done enough to reverse the damage done by addiction?  

Bryony also has interesting insight on how she thinks eating disorder culture has changed and tells Katherine that she’s wholly at one with being size 18 and 14 stone.   

Dr Nichola Conlon explains the science behind Bryony’s result and how typically alcohol and cocaine can impact on the body.   If you do drink, she explains which alcohol has the least impact on biological age and the positive effects of vitamin D, Omega 3 and the right medication. 

 This episode references suicide which some listeners may find distressing. The Samaritans helpline is open every day 24/7

At the age of 33, Olivia Attwood is the happiest she’s ever been but is she the heathiest?   

Olivia first came into the public eye in full sun on Love Island and admits her attitude to sun health and work pressure could have been better.  Since then, whether it’s making documentaries or hosting a pod - she’s not been off our screens.  Will a professional life in full glare have aged her?  

She talks about stress (which ages you), how her husband, footballer Bradley Dack has mellowed her and explains why she takes comfort in his past womanising. 

Olivia admits her cosmetic surgery goal used to be to “look like a sex doll” but now she’s thinking about ageing and turning to regenerative treatments to stay young.  

Dr Nichola Conlon talks about the studies that show how trauma and short-term stress impact on our biological age.  She looks at how you can reverse the impact of stress and the importance of sleep and recovery.  Nichola and Olivia bond over the proven benefits of hyperbaric chambers and agree they should be available for everyone.

Jill’s first childhood memory is kicking a football, and she’s played sport all her life.  She’s 38 but how will elite sport have impacted on her body and her biological age? Will 16 years playing for England have taken its toll or kept her young and strong? Will she have to swop out the coffee for ginger tea?  

She talks to Katherine about her childhood, her decision to retire and how being a woman in a man’s world has meant she’s had to constantly prove herself. She now co-hosts The Overlap with Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright and she’s hoping their average of 55 will not have rubbed off on her biological age.  

Dr Nichola Conlon delves into Jill’s lifestyle and looks at how intense exercise affects our bodies and our biological age.   She talks about how over-exercising changes women’s hormones and the importance of nutrition and recovery, especially for women.  

In this special episode of What’s My Age Again? Katherine reveals her own biological age.   She's asked all her guests to take the test so thought it was only fair that she did it too.     

Katherine is clean living but she lives with Lupus, an auto-immune disease.  Will that impact on her result? 

As always, Katherine’s joined by Dr Nichola Conlon, who tells us more about how the Gycanage test works and what Katherine can do to optimise her biological health.   Chris Wincup, a consultant rheumatologist specialising in Lupus at King’s College hospital in London is also on the pod.  Katherine shares her experience of living with the condition and the episode sheds light on Lupus as a whole.  Who is most likely to be affected? Why does Katherine liken the disease to Trump?! Why do we know so little about Lupus that affects 1 in 1000?

Romesh Ranganathan is 47 but he thinks he’s heading for an early death. 

His worries were triggered by a health test 8 years ago, the premature death of his father as well as the negative health outcomes for South and Southeast Asian men.  But in recent years he’s transformed his health.   Will he have done enough to improve his biological age?  

He tells Katherine he’s not bothered about getting older and admits he’s getting less ambitious as he ages. He also says that people with regular bodies like him have a duty to show their flesh to counter the images of perfection we are bombarded with on social media.     

Dr Nichola Conlon explains how a pre-disposition to poor health impacts on your biological age and whether you can reverse it with lifestyle.  She also talks through the supplements that are clinically proven to help with biological ageing and the impact of excess weight.

Joanne McNally is an icon for single women who like white wine.   

Pinotphile, her latest tour is as much like a hen do as it is a comedy gig but will life on the road have impacted on her biological age?  Have the excesses of single life aged her or kept her young? 

But it’s not just laughs in this conversation.  Joanne talks to Katherine about meeting her biological parents, how her eating disorder led to the career she has now and how, at the age of 41, she’s thinking about having children.   

Resident scientist, Dr Nichola Conlon explains to what extent genetics dictate your biological age and digs into Joanne McNally’s lifestyle to discover it’s not as decadent as you might think.
