Hello, welcome along to the Liz Earl well-being show with me, Liz Earl. Well, it's Monday,

and that means I'm here for you to answer your questions and guide you along your path to living

well and thriving in later life. You know, I just love hearing from you and hopefully helping

in any way that I can. I got a lovely message here from

Sasha who messaged in a few weeks ago with a question on gluten-free alternatives. And she

writes, so wonderful to hear your amazing advice on the podcast. Thank you so much, Liz, for coming

back to me. Your pearls of wisdom keep me going every day in my car in Zimbabwe.

So if you have a question for me, please get in touch.

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

Coming up today, then, you will be hearing my thoughts on Botox and fillers.

Ivana asks how to curb her appetite.

Sarah is looking for ways to support her daughter during her party-filled first year at university.
