The Midlife Mentors
We’re The Midlife Mentors. Here to lift the lid on our no nonsense approach to midlife health and happiness.
As midlifers, we’re constantly told we need have it all figured out. But in fact most of us don’t.Our mission is not only to de-bust the crazy diet and fitness myths, but to empower and educate from an authentic and balanced perspective based on reality.
It’s time to step away from the madness we manifest in our attempts to attain goals that are unachievable, as we help you focus on the daily opportunities that redefine who and what you are, with the wisdom that comes with age.

Men's Mental Fitness: An Interview With Neil Smith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On today’s episode we’re joined by someone who’s making a real impact in the mental health space.
Neil Smith is the co-founder of Mettle alongside Bear Grylls, an innovative mental wellbeing app designed to help men build confidence, resilience and emotional strength through practical, science-backed tools.
The focus of Mettle is on everyday mental fitness - not waiting until crisis hits, but empowering users to understand their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies and give them permission to take control of their mind in a simple, accessible way.
We talk to Neil about his stellar TV career, the inspiration behind the app, why so many people, especially men, struggle to access the right kind of support, and how Mettle is helping change the conversation around male mental health.
