Summary

Live Better: Feel Better: Age Better.

In A Better Second Half, Liz Earle shows us how to future-proof our health in midlife and beyond using evidence-based techniques, ideas and wisdom accumulated over her years of experience in the wellbeing arena.

We all know that midlife women are often hit the hardest of all health-wise, sandwiched between bringing up our families, juggling work and caring for ailing parents, and it is all too easy to lose sight of ourselves. But whatever stage or age you are there is hope and many ways to take back control of your health - physical, mental and emotional - and make yourself a priority rather than bottom of the to-do list.

Liz Earle sorts the fads from the fiction in wellbeing and breaks through the noise that surrounds all the online advice that can overwhelm us. She has taken this mission to heart with her empowering new book A BETTER SECOND HALF. Part a retrospective of her life and part a brilliant, distillation of self-help, Liz puts forward what we need to do to live well and age well through midlife and beyond. Never shy of making her body a testing lab for new discoveries, Liz shares important information on the gut-brain axis, nutri-genomics, the efficacy of high intensity weight training, the pros and cons of low carb diets, biohacking techniques and much, much more.

Liz Earle is one of the most-trusted voices in wellbeing today and here she shares her hard-won wisdom, practical advice and know-how that can turn the tide on those feelings of dejection and can have us heading into our second halves full of vigour and hope to live longer and better.

An essential & helpful guide to life (regardless of age!)

Liz Earle’s latest offering is a fascinating insight into the charges women’s bodies go through during the ageing process. It is a wonderful balance of fact-based science, and oft-needed humour. I will be making many lifestyle changes following the education I have received courtesy of listening to this. Liz Earle’s narration is also engaging in itself.

Not what I should it would be

I like Liz Earle and was looking forward to reading this. I thought it would be a book to help me feel positive about life beyond 50 and give me some practical guidance around health and wellbeing. However a lot of it seemed to be about taking supplements to live longer. She listed 10's and 10's but they are all expensive and no one could possibly take everything she is recommending. She also significantly undermined her own credibility by endorsing her daughter's brand of LED face mask, which is blatantly nepotistic. Although she declared her daughter was the brand ambassador for it, the book lost a lot of credibility for me after I read that.
Also this book is less suitable for listening as an audio book, as much of it is written reference style with many subheadings, rather than a narrative.

More supplement recommendations than anything else

Expected more general inspiration about midlife and beyond; mostly got bombarded with a ridiculously OTT list of supplements

Very Droll

I’m a fan of Liz and have been for many years so was disappointed with this audiobook. It is informative but very boring and the narration is harsh and grinding. I will use as a reference for supplements etc but to listen to just provided a good sleep aid.
