In this episode, we’re joined by the insightful journalist and author, Stephen Armstrong, for a candid conversation about Generation X - those of us sandwiched between the Baby Boomers and Millennials. 

Having seen Stephen’s article 50 And Out in The Independent, where he talked about the future of Gen X, we just knew we had to get him onto our podcast to dig deeper.

Stephen reveals the unique struggles Gen X men face as they hit midlife, from career crossroads to dealing with the weight of unspoken expectations.  We reminisce about the freedom and world of possibility that followed the end of the cold war, backpacking, music and of course, we can't talk about Gen X without touching on the island that defined a generation and inspired one of Stephen’s books - Ibiza. 

Tune in for an eye-opening, fun chat about where we are now, and what it means to be a Gen X-er in 2025.

In this episode, we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough - the double standards at midlife for men and women - in the press and in society as a whole. 

Increasingly, and brilliantly - midlife women are being encouraged to see this stage of their life as empowering and liberating - a positive midlife crisis - as they question their marriages, sexuality and what’s next for them. However, for men, this stage of life is often mocked. They’re labelled as grumpy, broken, or just going through a cliché.

We’ve seen this first-hand. James has faced resistance from female journalists unwilling to even entertain the idea of male midlife struggles — writing it off as “just another moan from a middle-aged man.”

But here’s the truth: both men and women deserve space to evolve, reflect, and grow in this season of life — without shame or judgment.

So today, we’re calling out the bias, sharing our personal experiences, and exploring how we can rewrite the narrative — together.

Let’s get into it.

In this episode  we’re shining a light on a topic that quietly affects almost one in two men by the age of fifty: hair loss.

Now - losing your hair might sound purely cosmetic, but it can gnaw at confidence, self-image and even mental health. So what happens when you decide to take action—publicly?

My guest knows a thing or two about living in the spotlight. You may have seen him masterminding the business behind those signature super-car wraps at Yannimize. Today, Bav parks the Lamborghinis and opens up about something far more personal: his recent hair-transplant journey.

In this episode Bav gets brutally honest about the mirror moment when he said “enough,” the deep-dive research, the process, and why he’s documented every step so other guys don’t have to suffer in silence. We’ll dig into costs, recovery, expectations, and the surprising mental-health lift that no styling product can match.

Whether you’re weighing a procedure yourself, supporting a partner, or just curious, this is worth a listen - there’s a little car chat too!

In today’s episode, we’re talking about patience and the often uncomfortable season of waiting. Whether you're waiting for clarity, breakthrough or healing — in your work, finances or relationships - this is for you. 

We’ll explore what it means to wait well, why the pause has purpose, and how to find peace in the in-between. Let’s lean into the stillness and discover what it’s trying to teach us.

Today we’re talking hormones, strength, and sustainable energy for midlife guys - with James.

Six months ago James' bloodwork flagged borderline-low testosterone. He felt it too - sluggish mornings, stubborn belly-fat, zero motivation in the gym. Rather than jump straight to injections, he decided to run a personal experiment. Fast-forward to his latest lab results: his total T is up by almost 50 percent.

So in this short episode James breaks down the exact six-pillar protocol that moved the needle: dialling-in sleep, lifting heavy, fuelling with the right fats and micros, trimming body-fat, taming stress, and clearing out everyday hormone disruptors. Each pillar comes with one action you can start today—no matter your schedule or budget.

Quick caveat before we dive in: James is not a doctor, and this podcast is not medical advice. It’s based on his personal experience.

Ready to turn the dial up on strength, focus, and drive? Grab your coffee—or maybe a glass of water—hit that ‘Do Not Disturb’ button, and let’s get into it!”

On today’s episode we’re tackling the big one: stepping out of that oh‑so‑snug comfort zone so we can finally stretch, grow, and live a little larger and longer.

If you’ve ever felt that quiet itch - a ‘there’s‑got‑to‑be‑more’ whisper - stick around. 

We unpack the science of discomfort, share a couple of our own spectacular stumbles, and give you practical moves to trade safe and small for bold and brilliant.

So, grab your coffee, lace up those metaphorical boots, and let’s get uncomfortable - because that’s exactly where the magic happens. Ready? Let’s dive in.

If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll know that we love a good old cold plunge, so when the opportunity came up to speak to Dan Bosomworth, founder of ice bath company Brass Monkey we leapt at it.

We cover Dan’s own journey into cold water therapy, the mental and physical improvements he experienced, and the multitude of benefits cold water immersion can provide. 

From starting out with an old chest freezer in his garage, to building a brand that’s supplying commercial ice bath units globally, this is a really inspirational story, not to mention educational - so take a listen.

In this episode we’re joined by Dr. Harriet Connell, who’s challenging personal journey led her to look into women’s health. We talk about new research findings on how exogenous hormones—such as those found in oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy—can deplete essential nutrients in our bodies. 

Dr. Connell helps us understand which nutrients are at greatest risk, how these deficiencies might impact our wellbeing, and what steps we can take to stay nourished while on these therapies.

Whether you’re currently taking the pill, considering HRT, or simply curious about the science behind hormone-driven nutrient changes, this conversation is for you. So, grab a seat and get ready to learn how to protect your nutritional balance.

Life balance. How do we get it and why does it feel so elusive? In this podcast episode we’ll break down why it’s so important to address life balance, why it feels impossible to achieve and reveal some common misconceptions. 

Most importantly though we’ll explain why life balance doesn’t actually exist and how it can make us even more stressed chasing after it! As always, we’ll wrap up by giving you a four pillar holistic framework to regain control, be kinder to yourself and find more joy again.

In this episode, we’re joined by Professor John Tregonning, a biomedical researcher and the author of Live Forever? A Curious Scientist’s Guide to Wellness, Ageing and Death.

After reading about how Professor Tregonning had tried and trialled numerous longevity hacks for his book, and had found, what works, what doesn’t and what might, we knew we had to have  a chat with him.

We talk about his testing of life-extending diets and exercise regimes, and we cut through the noise of fads to separate fact from fiction. He dives into the risks our bodies face—from inherited genetic conditions to heart disease, arrhythmias and even the delicate workings of the brain.

This conversation offers compelling insights into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them, and most importantly, how we can live longer, healthier lives.

So, join us as we uncover the secrets to longevity and how we can truly Live Forever?

Our confidence can really take a dip at midlife for various reasons. Maybe it’s the loss of a relationship. A redundancy. Perhaps it’s a health issue, injury or even the change in your appearance. 

It’s important to acknowledge that it can be a challenging time, but equally important to note that with a few small changes, we can rebuild confidence in a fresh and new way that aligns with this stage of life.

So in this episode we dive into what that looks like physically and mentally, offering up insights and tips that will help you feel empowered, inspired and hopeful. As they say, confidence is an inside job, not defined by age. 

So here’s your permission to step boldly into the world, and live a life on your terms!

On this week’s episode of The Midlife Mentors podcast we’re thrilled to be joined by Olympic gold medalist, and health and wellbeing ambassador Sally Gunnell OBE.

Sally shares her incredible story with us - from when she was first spotted by her coach at 14, to how she navigated retirement from professional sport at the age of 31. Sally openly shares how her mindset held her back in her early career, and how she still uses the tools she learnt today to achieve her goals as a business owner, speaker and mentor.

Finally, Sally offers us some wonderful insights into staying healthy and happy at midlife, focusing particularly on the positive lifestyle changes we can make. This is such an energising, inspirational conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Something we’ve talked about a lot on The Midlife Mentors podcast is the impact of social media and the digital world we live in, in particular on our relationships. In this episode we dive deeper as we’re joined by Christine Rosen, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and author of the thought-provoking book The Extinction of Experience. 

In a world increasingly dominated by digital technology, many of us have become disconnected from direct, meaningful encounters with the natural environment and with each other. 

Christine’s work delves into how and why this shift has happened—and the profound consequences it may have for our well-being, our culture, and even our understanding of ourselves.

During our conversation, we explore the roots of this “extinction of experience,” uncover what it means in practical terms for our day-to-day lives, and consider how we might reclaim a more authentic and engaged way of living. Whether you’re a concerned parent or educator, or simply curious about how modern life shapes our worldview, this discussion promises fresh perspectives and, hopefully, a few solutions to help us reconnect.

Something we started to focus on towards the end of last year is the issue of ageism in the workplace. We started to hear more and more anecdotal stories about people being unable to find new roles on the basis of their age, and even spoke to recruitment professionals off the record who told us that clients were filtering applicants by age.

Clearly there’s a huge personal cost to ageism, but in today’s skill shortage environment there can also be great cost to organisations. The job site Total Jobs released research on ageism in 2024 that highlighted some disturbing trends, with 59% of recruiters admitting to making age-based assumptions and 46% considering candidates over 57 “too old.”

We wanted to know more, so in this episode we’re joined by Professor Sarah Vickerstaff, Professor Emerita of Work and Employment at the University of Kent, and a leading expert in this field. She co-authored the Total Jobs research and she shares with us not only her findings about how age discrimination manifests in the job market, but most importantly—practical steps we can all take to create more inclusive, respectful work environments.

Whether you’re an employer aiming to retain valuable talent or an employee seeking fair treatment, this conversation will shed light on the realities of workplace ageism and offer pathways for positive change. So settle in, and get ready for an insightful discussion that might just change how you view your career journey and the role age plays in it. We hope you enjoy it.

On this week’s episode of The Midlife Mentors podcast we’re absolutely thrilled to be joined by Kate Muir, who is well known for being the creator and producer of the groundbreaking documentary with Davina McCall on the menopause which premiered in 2021 and changed the menopause conversation in the UK forever.

As a women’s health advocate and author of books on the menopause and the pill, this conversation with Kate is incredibly uplifting, insightful and informative. She shares how she had her own midlife crisis, brought on by the menopause - and brilliantly, how the initial rejections for her documentary concept on the menopause fuelled her passion to get the message out there even more and eventually led to Channel 4 and Davina McCall becoming involved. 

Kate talks about HRT, the importance of combining it with lifestyle factors such as weight lifting and nutrition and also the impact menopause has on our brain health. 

We know you’re going to find this a fascinating episode and we can’t wait to hear your feedback.

It’s that time of year when we naturally take stock of how the year’s panned out. A vast majority of us tend to think about what we didn’t do or achieve rather than what went well - in fact it’s human nature. 

So in this episode we’re going to take you through a 5 step process to review and celebrate 2024 with us, encouraging you to reflect on key lessons and potential areas to focus on for next year. And the best bit? We share our 2024 with you - the highlights, the lowlights and everything in between!

In November research was released that showed the average age at which candidates are considered “too old” for job roles is 57. This ties in with what we’ve heard anecdotally working with organisations and clients - that ageism is now a significant issue in the workplace.

We have an ageing population and an increasing life span with many people happy to work beyond retirement - so how do we foster a more age inclusive work culture?

In this episode we dive into the shocking stats around age and work, look at the benefits of having an age diverse workforce, dispel some myths about older workers and look ahead to what organisations can be doing to help create a more age inclusive culture.

By the time we hit mid-life it’s highly likely we’ve experienced a lot of disappointments and things just generally not turning out the way we expected them to. This can often crush our spirit, leading to self doubt, negative self talk and a feeling of hopelessness. Perhaps we even give up on our dreams.

So in this episode we discuss what causes disappointment in the first place and we also offer up 10 ways to move through it so you can begin the journey of regaining your energy, confidence and faith that things will get better with time.

It’s Men’s Health Awareness Month, so it’s fitting that for this episode we’ve got engineering and history TV presenter Rob Bell talking about the importance of male friendships and the strength of having a community of men around you.

We discuss why men find it more of a struggle to maintain social networks as they age and what can be done to encourage either group or one to one interactions, so men can thrive at midlife and experience the positive mental and physical effects of community.

We hope you enjoy listening.

In this episode I, Claire, go solo...discussing how there’s a very real battle going on for our attention. We’ve become slaves to mind dumbing dopamine hits - 24 hour news channels, doom scrolling, switching back and forth between apps, distracting ourselves and arguing with strangers online.

It’s sucking the very life out of us and hijacking our ability to focus on what’s really important. And guess what?  It’s no one else’s responsibility but ours to take back control. And right now, I couldn’t think of any greater, more important choice to make.

This has been and continues to be a real journey for me, and so I hope this episode resonates with you.
