Pt 1: What No One Tells You About Ageing | Dr Lucy Pollock

Dr Lucy Pollock is a geriatrician with over 30 years experience working with older people in the NHS. She is a best-selling author and is releasing the paperback of her second book ‘The Golden Rule: Lessons in Living from a doctor of ageing’ on 12th June 2025.


As a species, we are living much longer lives and have more choices than ever before about how we will age - so why are so many of us fearful of getting older?


In part 1, Lucy joins Dr Alex George to unpack why it’s important to not become obsessed with the process of getting older, the impact alcohol has on ageing and how exercising in your youth can set you up for a strong future.


Plus, Lucy discusses how stress can affect how you age and why human connection is vital for bringing different generations together…
