Dr Clarkson is an NHS cardiologist at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.  Our previous interview video had more than a million views.  This follow-up video podcast, a year later, has two parts.  In the first, Dr Clarkson outlines how we should all assess our own cardiac risks and explains more about the decision whether or not to take the drugs statins.  The second part is about returning to exercise after a heart attack or being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.This full interview is available as a video.  It is the source interview from which I produced two separate videosCardiac Risk Score and  Activity after atrial fibrillation (AF) or heart attack (MI)Qrisk3 calculator ➡️ https://www.qrisk.org

After careers in the English and Danish health systems, Sally Walker works as a consultant on hormones and nutrition based on the island of Lanzarote.  She also gives talks at the sports resort Club la Santa where we stayed in December 2024.  As you’ll hear, she’s an advocate of older men using testosterone replacement therapy, particularly those who try to stay fit.  Personally, I’m much more cautious about the whole subject, but I did get my testosterone tested.  After listening to her talk on the subject we sat down and recorded this conversation which is available as a YouTube video and audio podcast at Always Another Adventure.  Video podcast https://youtu.be/OM5GIwvhtPASally Walker's linksYouTube  ▶︎ @sallywalker7505Website ▶︎ https://sally-walker.com/enInstagram  ▶︎ https://www.instagram.com/sally.walker_hormone.expert/Facebook  ▶︎ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063548799899

Runners and cyclists know that, as we age, we should do more strength training to protect our bones, ligaments and balance.  But what sort of training is best, and how to do it safely?  Those questions led me to Emma at Wolfhouse Gym near Fort William in the Scottish highlands.  As well as having a British record and world championship win, Emma has developed a specialism in coaching over 50s who want to handle the inevitable changes of ageing.  There's a video version of this podcast and a shorter video in the Older Athlete Series which includes Emma's demonstrations of many of the things we talk about here.Strength for older athletes: Video: https://youtu.be/tkQgbtrxEb8Video podcast: https://youtu.be/Ojli8D5WhPIWolfhouse gym: https://www.wolfhousegym.com/

World Bicycle Relief empowers people and communities through life-changing bicycles.  The latest version of their robust Buffalo Bike has two chains, two chain rings and a unique two-gear system to help people cope with heavy loads and rough roads of Africa.  WBR is a very special cycling-focused charity and one I’m happy to support.  On the banks of the River Thames, I speak to Ben Sadler, the Managing Director of World Bicycle Relief UK.  I get to ride their new buffalo, and make a sharp exit when the Thames decides our interview is over.World Bicycle Relief  https://worldbicyclerelief.orgInsight study https://worldbicyclerelief.org/idinsight/

'The Midlife Cyclist' is a book which reshaped the thinking of many cyclists.  Published in 2021, it is in part a scientific analysis of the inevitable changes associated with ageing.  It also offers gentle encouragement on how to cope and manage these changes, to keep fit and healthy into older age.  In this podcast, the author Phil Cavell talks about the lessons he learnt through researching the book, and goes into detail about his new book The Cycling Addiction' which is due in 2025.  You can watch this whole interview on YouTube or a cut-down video of our chat.  Buy The Midlife Cyclist here and I receive a tiny affiliate payment.
