Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the second episode in a special series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor.

To coincide with World Mental Health Day this  October, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast  – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, and we’ve realized that in almost every episode, we talk about at least one of those worries – and we also realized that with many of them, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts.

So for this series, we’re going to be chatting about the worries that make us feel that way, and for some of them we’re going to be bringing in experts to dispel those concerns. If this episode resonates with you, or you have something you think we should talk about, or get an expert on to discuss, then please email us at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk

Aging

In this episode, we’re dealing with something I’m terrified of, which is aging. And, we’ve brought along the glorious Dr Juliet McGrattan to talk sense, dispel myths and make us feel empowered, when we ask her, Am I nuts for worrying about aging?
