Hello, I'm Liz Earle and welcome along to Age Better. It's a Monday and I'm especially excited

this week because my brand new book, How to Age, is released on Thursday. Oh my gosh, it's been

crazy. The last couple of weeks, lots and lots of media and prep and events and lots of

hoopla going on behind the scenes. You might have seen a little bit of that on my Instagram.

Thank you for all your messages and your encouragement. It's been quite a thing, actually.

This book has taken more than three years worth of my writing and research and yeah it's my best one yet so

all about aging pro aging never anti-aging I want to age I want to age well and I want us all to

age well that's the whole point of the podcast and that's why we've renamed it actually age better

so I'm going to channel all that energy into today's episode.

I'm really looking forward to answering all your questions and sharing some of the science,

the guidance, the tips to help you feel inspired and, of course, to age well.

So on that note, if you have a question for me, do get in touch.

All the contact details are in the episode description and at the end of the show.

So coming up today, lactoferrin, what is it?

And is it worth taking?

I'll be looking at the best supplements to support the immune system for Annie

and sharing the most interesting things that I learnt while researching

for my new book and that's for Rebecca. Then collagen supplements are on the agenda. Kim wants advice

and information on how to improve her gut health. And lastly, I will be helping Katie with some very

budget-friendly skincare recommendations.

So let's start then with a question from Annie, and you write,

Hi, Liz, I've been following you for years, and so I appreciate everything that you do on behalf of the sisterhood.
