Age Better with Liz Earle

Nutritionist and ARTAH founder Rhian Stephenson joins Liz to explain why biohacking doesn't need to be extreme – and reveal the simple, powerful fundamentals that actually transform how we feel in midlife. They discuss why most women aren't hitting their protein targets (and how to frontload your day without relying on powders), and a simple supplement stack for healthy ageing. Rhian also shares how creatine supports not just muscle but brain energy, and why VO2 max is a more potent predictor of early death than obesity or smoking. They also discuss the free biohacks – like contrast showers and 40 push-ups – that require zero fancy equipment. This episode is sponsored by ARTAH who are offering listeners of the show 15% off supplements and reset plans with the code LIZLOVES.  Resources mentioned:Use code LIZLOVES for 15% off at artah.coEssential Creatine Essential Magnesium Essential Omegas Essential D3/K2Enhanced NAD+ ComplexCellular HydrationEssential Fibre+Enhanced NootropicsMetabolic FixARTAH's reset plansMore from Liz:A Better Second Half Preorder Liz's next book – How to AgeFollow Liz on InstagramFollow Liz Earle Wellbeing on InstagramMore from Rhian:Follow Rhian on InstagramFollow ARTAH on InstagramGet in touch with a question for Liz:Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.comWhatsApp: 07518 471 846Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.
