Summary

Nutritionist and ARTAH founder Rhian Stephenson joins Liz to explain why biohacking doesn't need to be extreme – and reveal the simple, powerful fundamentals that actually transform how we feel in midlife. They discuss why most women aren't hitting their protein targets (and how to frontload your day without relying on powders), and a simple supplement stack for healthy ageing. Rhian also shares how creatine supports not just muscle but brain energy, and why VO2 max is a more potent predictor of early death than obesity or smoking. They also discuss the free biohacks – like contrast showers and 40 push-ups – that require zero fancy equipment.
