Host Michael Millward chats with Wallis Pattisonn,psychic medium, prosperity teacher, and founder of Bold Not Old, about what it really means to stay vibrant, purposeful, and boldly yourself at any age.

Wallis shares the moment at age 70 when she started making comparisons and realised that some younger people seemed to be stuck.

That realisation sparked a movement. What began as a celebration of personal style evolved into a deeper philosophy: ageing boldly is about refusing to hand over control of your life, your choices, and your identity.

Across the conversation, Wallis explores:

• Why style is an act of self‑expression, not conformity.
• How Bold Not Old became a global community of people defying age stereotypes
• The danger of slipping into nostalgia and ‘God’s waiting room’.
• Why purpose creates energy — not the other way around.
• How society conditions us to feel old long before we are.

Wallis also shares the powerful story of Chris Gillies, one of the role models featured in her book Being Bold Not Old: A New Generation of Role Models. After a stroke took 40% of her sight, Chris refused to become a victim.

This episode is a reminder that ageing is not about decline — it’s about design. You choose how you show up, how you express yourself, and how you keep moving forward.

Whether you’re 22, 52, or 82, this conversation will challenge your assumptions, energise your thinking, and encourage you to take back stewardship of your own life.

The lifelong tension between who we are and who society expects us to be

Host Michael Millward chats with Joshua Rodriguez, a New York–based kink coach and accountability coach from The Kink Collective, for a powerful conversation about identity, authenticity, masculinity, and the lifelong tension between who we are and who society expects us to be.

Drawing on deeply personal experiences, Joshua explores how social labels, cultural expectations, and fear can silence our true expression; whether in relationships, sexuality, or everyday life. He discusses the emotional cost of authenticity, the courage required to show up honestly, and the transformative journey from shame and conflict to accountability and emotional maturity.

Together, Michael and Joshua unpack themes including:

• The conflict between individual identity (“me”) and social expectation (“us”)
• How masculinity is shaped—and often distorted—by cultural pressure
• The role of expression, vulnerability, and self‑acceptance
• The emotional price of authenticity: judgment, rejection, and courage
• Rebuilding trust with oneself after past mistakes
• Why mentorship, community, and curiosity matter for personal growth
• How labels shape belonging—and how to find the people who see you for who you are

This episode blends psychology, lived experience, social commentary, and personal transformation. It’s an honest, challenging, and inspiring conversation that will leave listeners reflecting long after the recording stops.

The way we look, feel and energetically show up defines us

Host Michael Millward and Dubai‑based holistic aesthetician, facialist, mentor and global wellness expert Katrina Valente, (who has over 30 years’ experience) explore how the way we look, feel and energetically show up shapes our careers, relationships and long‑term wellbeing.

Katrina explains why many outwardly successful women experience burnout, emotional exhaustion, and a sense of inner emptiness. She discusses

• The difference between masculine and feminine energy, and
• Why modern work cultures make women operate in masculine ways.

Reconnecting with feminine intuition, creativity and flow can, she says transform both personal happiness and professional success.

Katrina explains how her global career led to the development of her signature mentoring programmes: Radiance Reset and The Valente Method.

She explains the signs of energetic imbalance, the health consequences of constant over‑drive, and practical steps women can take to restore balance; such as creating “white space” in their day, slowing down, and embracing intuitive decision‑making.

This episode also explores:

• Why first impressions matter
• Why women often compete with themselves without realising
• The impact of burnout on the nervous system
• How men and women make decisions
• What male managers can do to better support female colleagues
• The role of language in communication between genders

Whether you’re a woman navigating a demanding career, a leader managing diverse teams, or simply curious about the intersection of wellbeing, identity and professional life, this conversation will challenge assumptions and spark reflection.

Low Oxygen in your cells

In this episode of Fit For My Age, host Michael Millward speaks with Teresa Reile, founder and CEO of Patriox.us, about one of the most overlooked health issues of modern life: tissue hypoxia, or low oxygen levels in the body’s cells.

Teresa shares her extraordinary personal story; from a life‑threatening diagnosis to a near‑fatal intestinal rupture; and explains how discovering a new oxygen‑enhanced water technology transformed her energy, immunity, and long‑term wellbeing.

Listeners will learn:

• What hypoxia is and why so many people unknowingly suffer from low cellular oxygen.
• How mitochondria work, why they depend on oxygen, and how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to fatigue, inflammation, and chronic disease.
• The science behind oxygenated water, including how a proprietary electrolysis process creates bioavailable liquid oxygen that the body can absorb instantly.
• Why modern lifestyles reduce oxygen intake, from pollution and travel to sedentary habits and poor air quality.
• Who can benefit from oxygen‑based wellness, and why organ‑transplant patients should avoid it.
• How improved oxygen levels support immune health, energy production, and proactive aging.

This conversation is ideal for anyone interested in longevity, cellular health, immune resilience, energy optimisation, or 21st‑century wellness challenges. Teresa’s insights highlight how oxygen, the body’s most essential nutrient, may be the missing link in modern health.

If you’re exploring ways to boost vitality, support your immune system, or understand the science behind oxygen therapy, this episode will give you the knowledge you need to make informed choices about your wellbeing.

Learning the fundamentals of meditation

Host Michael Millward explores the real meaning of meditation, breathwork, and being present in the moment with meditation expert and author Noraa Casi.

Using insights from her book Introduction to Meditation: A Beginner’s Guidebook, Noraa dispels the myths surrounding meditation and explains how simple, everyday practices can help you achieve calm, clarity, and emotional balance.

Noraa unpack how the brain’s electrical frequencies, and breathing patterns, influence stress, anxiety, focus, and wellbeing. She shares practical techniques, including box breathing (4‑4‑4‑4) and long‑exhale breathing (4‑8), that you can use immediately to improve relaxation, sleep quality, and mental clarity.

You’ll learn how meditation isn’t limited to sitting cross‑legged in silence. Noraa explains how everyday activities like washing dishes, walking, or ironing, can become powerful forms of mindfulness meditation when approached with present‑moment awareness.

Whether you're completely new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation offers accessible guidance, science‑based insights, and empowering encouragement to help you upgrade your brain, reduce stress, and live more intentionally.

Topics covered:

• What meditation really is
• How breathwork changes brain function
• Understanding brainwave states (beta, alpha, delta)
• The role of the vagus nerve in relaxation
• Simple breathing techniques for beginners
• Everyday activities that double as meditation
• How being present reduces anxiety and improves wellbeing

How to get out of the grey health zone

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the “grey area” of health, not ill enough for medical intervention, but far from feeling your best, this episode of Fit For My Age, is for you. Host Michael Millward and Zed Mountford Hill, founder and CEO of NutriZen Wellness, explore the fast-growing world of proactive, data driven health optimisation.

Drawing on over 20 years in conventional medicine, Zed explains why so many people live with fatigue, brain fog, low energy, poor recovery, and hormonal or metabolic imbalance without ever receiving meaningful support.

Michael and Zed unpack:

• The difference between “normal” and “optimal” health, and why NHS ranges don’t always reflect what your body truly needs
• How personalised blood diagnostics reveal early signs of issues like insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation
• NutriZen’s Reset–Rebuild–Thrive model, including IV nutrient therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, red‑light therapy, and targeted lifestyle interventions
• Why data without action is useless, and how personalised health optimisation plans turn insights into real‑world change
• The future of preventative healthcare, and how employers could transform productivity by understanding employee health baselines
• Why taking responsibility for your own health is essential, and how proactive testing empowers better decisions

Zed describes the experience of visiting NutriZen Wellness, from unhurried consultations to advanced diagnostics and tailored treatment plans designed around each person’s biology, lifestyle, and goals.

Natural electrical frequencies impact on how your body works

Host Michael Millward is fascinated by the Michael Upstone’s (Mike) explanation of frequency healing.

Mike is a researcher, creator of the Frequency Healing book series and president of Keep Health Research.

Drawing on decades of clinical studies and hands‑on experience, Mike explains how the body’s natural electrical frequencies influence healing, pain, inflammation, and even performance. He shares remarkable real‑world examples, from chronic back pain disappearing in minutes to long‑standing nerve damage resolving after decades. Mike also explains how advanced frequency‑based technologies are being used not only for recovery, but also for sports performance, stress reduction, cosmetology.

Michael and Mike dive into:

• How electrical frequency devices stimulate rapid healing responses
• Why the body sometimes fails to heal itself—and how frequency realignment helps
• The surprising role of energy, communication, and coherence in human health
• Regeneration effects, including scarring reduction and chronic illness support
• The Russian space‑program origins of early frequency‑healing devices
• Scepticism, scientific evidence, and the importance of real‑world results
• Whether frequency healing can be used preventatively to reduce injuries and improve wellbeing

This conversation is packed with curiosity, challenge, and genuine fascination—exactly the spirit of Fit For My Age, where we don’t tell you what to think, but we do hope to make you think.

A Holistic Approach to Nutrition with Samantha Williams

A thought‑provoking episode in which, host Michael Millward talk to nutritionist and holistic health practitioner Samantha Williams to explore how science, psychology and spirituality come together to shape a healthier relationship with food.

Samantha’s journey from biology teacher to Ayurvedic‑inspired nutritionist spans continents and disciplines. After struggling with her own health during the isolation of COVID‑19, she discovered the transformative power of lifestyle‑based nutritional healing, an experience that reshaped her career and now informs her work with clients across the UK and Thailand.

Together, Michael and Samantha unpack:

• Why so many of us have complicated, often subconscious relationships with food
• How childhood conditioning shapes lifelong eating habits
• The difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger
• Why comfort eating feels soothing—but never truly satisfies
• The impact of ultra‑processed foods on metabolic health
• How intuitive eating helps reconnect mind and body
• Why personalised nutrition matters more than one‑size‑fits‑all diet culture
• How science, psychology and spirituality combine in Samantha’s holistic practice

Samantha also shares insights from her work at a Thai healing centre, which featured in the TV show The Retreat and explains how her business, Natural Nutrition, helps people build sustainable habits that support long‑term wellbeing.

This episode is ideal for anyone curious about improving their relationship with food, understanding their body more deeply, or exploring a more holistic path to health.
