  • Welcome to What’s My Age Again – the podcast that asks:  How old are you?  How old is your body?  What do you do to feel young?   Katherine Ryan not only asks her celebrity guests how they feel about ageing but she also asks them to give her their blood.  Every famous name on the show takes a biological age test and midway through the show we reveal how their bodies' age compares to their chronological age.      Katherine Ryan is 41 but is her body?   It’s a fascinating and fun conversation about their lifestyle, their childhood, their family and their attitude to getting older. Do they do anything to reverse the visible signs of ageing?    The guests span the decades, and we find out if years of being at the top of their game in sport, entertainment or politics has impacted their body.    Dr Nichola Conlon, who has a PhD in biochemistry joins us every week to discuss the guests’ results and to share the latest science on longevity.    This podcast is bought to you by Absolute Collagen, proven to visibly reduce the signs of aging by priming your skin, hair and nails from within, available in powder or liquid sachets, find out more at Absolutecollagen.com.   The test is carried out by the company Glycanage   https://glycanage.com/   DISCLAIMER    The Glycanage biological age test is a wellness test that helps measure chronic inflammation in the body.  It is not a medical-grade device and the biological age is not a predictor of life expectancy.  There are other tests available which use different methods and markers to assess biological age.  This test has been used as a vehicle for an interesting conversation about ageing. Glycanage have not been paid to be part of the podcast.
