Romesh Ranganathan - Deep Fried Boiled Egg Anyone? Will His Recent Glow Up Reverse Former Misadventures?

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?  If you want to find out more about Lupus you can find information here https://lupusuk.org.uk/  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

Romesh Ranganathan is 47 but he thinks he’s heading for an early death. His worries were triggered by a health test 8 years, 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. Romesh Ranganathan recorded this a couple of weeks before he ran the 2025 London marathon   Lead producer– Mick CoyleSocial 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 – Henrietta HarrisonChief CreatIve Officer – Lucie Cave

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.  If you want to watch this episode you can find a link to You Tube and the socials here linktr.ee/whatsmyageagain_pod  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
