"“I probably felt my oldest at around 50,” says Liz Earle, radiating good health down a Zoom from a ski chalet in Austria. “I think when you go into your 40s, you're thinking, midlife, middle age. But when you get to 50, you start thinking, 'Ooh, older age is really creeping up on me.' And that, for me, didn't feel particularly good.”"
"“I wasn't particularly strong because I wasn't lifting any weights. I hadn't sorted out my hormones yet, so I was feeling much more anxious and low in energy. And I was also seeing the visible signs of ageing on my face, certainly more than I am now.”"
Liz Earle says she probably felt her oldest around age 50. She describes a shift in mindset from the 40s to the 50s, when older age feels like it is creeping up. She links how she felt to not lifting weights, not having her hormones sorted, and experiencing more anxiety and low energy. She also noticed visible signs of ageing on her face more than she does now. She connects her current sense of feeling her best self to changes that improved strength, energy, and appearance, alongside later-life wellbeing and renewed love.
