What's My Age Again?

• Adam Buxton – He’s made a career out of being a big kid, but how old is his body?

  Adam Buxton is 56 years old and says he’ll be happy if the result comes in at anything under 65. Reduced stress and life in the country with his loving family and dog should be reflected in the result and he’s hoping recent improvements in his diet and lifestyle will bode well. He talks to Katherine about his split from his comedy wife Joe Cornish, how going to boarding school at a young age made him value friendships but gave him a fear of rejection with women. He also talks about his mum, her attitude to ageing and how she handled end of life. Adam runs through his new and improved breakfast routine with Nichola. She assesses his new choices and gives the low-down on which are the food fads that will reduce inflammation and which are the ones to ignore. Plus the benefits of living in the countryside and the positive impact of purpose and good relationships. Adam recorded this episode when he was 55, just before his birthday. He also talked about his new memoir ‘I Love you, Byee’.

She’s not too worried about ageing but really nervous about her biological age and is hoping her new lifestyle will be reflected in the result. In this brilliant, thought-provoking and open interview, she shares how her troubled childhood shaped her, how she got lost in the game of fillers and how she came to the positive decision to live life child-free. Michelle de Swarte’s family describe her as Darth Vaper and Michelle admits she has more than the occasional puff. Dr Nichola Conlon looks at the emerging science on vaping and smoking and how they affect biological age. Nichola also assesses Michelle’s vitamins and which ones are best for her reversing the ageing process on the inside. Michelle de Swarte wrote and starred in the BBC comedy drama Spent.
