| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Liz Ear Well-Being Show and a very happy new year to you. I'm Liz Earle and this is the podcast helping us all have a better second half as we step into a new year. What better time to be talking about this because I am on such a mission to find ways for all of us to thrive |
| 0:22.5 | in our later life by investing in our health and our well-being today. Yes, indeed, I am so |
| 0:28.9 | ready to make 2025 my best year yet and I would love for you to come along for the ride with me. |
| 0:36.4 | Well, throughout January, I do want to put a |

| 2:18.4 | But it can be a lot more subtle than that. |
