Sandra Parsons on Outrunning Your Age (Literally)

Sandra Parsons on Outrunning Your Age (Literally)

She’s 63 with a biological age of 20 — and Kaye and Karen are trying to smile through the envy. In this episode, they’re joined by journalist and author Sandra Parsons, whose book Age Less is flying off shelves faster than a pair of sensible Skechers. Sandra shares how she rewired her body (and mindset) through fibre, fasting, running, and yes — cauliflower for breakfast.


From the science of glycans and autophagy to the reality of longevity clinics and the occasional well-timed Turkish bath, this is a warm, witty deep-dive into what happens when you stop accepting age as inevitable — and start treating it as optional.


Also featuring: alpacas, biological rage, and why cauliflower might just be the new Chardonnay.
