Liz Earle: The Real Reason You're Ageing Faster Than You Should Be

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book
linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_prof… (linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_prof…)What if aging well wasn't about fighting your body, but finally learning to work with it?

This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm joined by the wonderful Liz Earle MBE, bestselling wellness author, nutritional pioneer, and one of the most trusted voices in women's health. Her latest book, How to Age, is an instant number one bestseller, and this conversation is a beautiful reminder of why her work resonates so deeply.Liz brings warmth, wisdom, and science together in a way that feels genuinely accessible, and she makes a compelling case that the most powerful tools for longevity are often the simplest and most free

Here's What We Dive Into:
- How mitochondria drive almost every aspect of how we age, and why caring for them is the foundation of lasting health.
- Why the best longevity tools are free: morning daylight, grounding, and filtered water, and how each one fuels cellular energy.
- How disrupted light signals quietly wreck sleep and mood, and why "sky before screens" is a rule worth keeping.
- What structured water and hydrogen water actually are, and how to make your daily hydration work harder.
- Why sunscreen timing matters more than we think, and what the science of UVA and UVB really says.
- How perimenopause, exhaustion, and poor sleep are often connected, and what Liz wishes she had known sooner.
- Why Liz has never said "anti-aging" and why she believes the pro-aging revolution starts with women like us.

Love,
Sarah Ann 💛
