Katie Price – Katie is 47 but how old is her body? Will surgery and a life of trauma have affected her biological age?
Katie Price says she’s in a better place than she’s ever been and at the age of 47 is finally fully in control of how she lives her life. She’s been in the public eye since she was 18 years old and with sexual assault, 3 kidnap attempts and a hijack at gun point in South Africa she’s had way more than her fair share of trauma. In this hugely open and emotional interview, she talks to Katherine about her breakdown and the therapy she’s done over the years to deal with the drama she’s constantly lived with. But will the trauma have impacted on her biological age? Katie talks about her exes, Katherine and Katie bond over the bad men choices they’ve made over the years and Katie admits it’s left her with trust issues. Katie talks lovingly, as always, about her 5 children and her adorable Harvey. She says the door is always open to Dwight Yorke even though he’s never played a part in his son’s life. Katie is charming and relatable as ever. She says age doesn’t bother her but admits she’s addicted to changing her body through surgery and wants to have another kid. Dr Nichola Conlon explains the test to Katie and explains how trauma changes your hormones and impacts on your biological age. Katie tells Nichola about her diet and Nichola explains where there’s room for improvement and the supplements she could start taking. Katie is in perimenopause and Nichola talks about how that can also impact on your biological age. Katie talks about sexual assault, trauma and abuse in this episode which some listeners and viewers might find upsetting.

Sophie Ellis Bextor - ‘Murder’ reborn and the unexpected power of a woman in her mid-life
Sophie is in her mid forties and says she’s finally shed her inner critic and found a new power. She tells Katherine she’s more confident on stage now than she ever was in her twenties and says the resurgence of her hit single Murder on the Dance Floor has been wonderful and rejuvenating. Her mother, Janet Ellis (famous for presenting Blue Peter in the 1970s) has taught her how to age well but she’s still worried having 5 kids may push her biological age into triple figures. Her love of music, she says, has kept her playful and her and Katherine discuss if dancing is like having sex in a long-term relationship; you have to keep doing it, even when you don’t always feel like it. Dr Nichola praises her for her diet and they all discuss the benefits of Sophie’s unusual, fermented rider request. Nichola talks about music and the science behind how it can reduce your biological age. Plus why Sophie’s pandemic kitchen disco not only kept her young but probably reduced the biological age of anyone who joined in. Sophie’s new album, the aptly named ‘Perimenopop’ is out on September 12th pre order here Lead producer– Henrietta HarrisonSocial media - Cassidy Rebelo Video Producer – Elena CottonVideo Producer– David MayArtwork – Ben Watkins Video Editor - Paul Collins-Reddin Head of Video – Edie JefferysSound Designer – Dominic DelargyExecutive Producer – Mick CoyleChief CreatIve Officer – Lucie Cave

Bryony Gordon – will a former life of drink and drugs have impacted on her biological age?
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.
