In this bonus episode, our resident scientist Dr. Nicola dives beneath the surface of cosmetic procedures to explore how modern treatments are evolving—from masking aging to actually targeting it at the cellular level.

Discover the science behind biohacking, fillers, skin boosters, and polynucleotides (yes, the “salmon sperm facial”)

We'll hear how these treatments affect your skin’s biology, and hear listener questions answered on long-term Botox use, microneedling and the impact of dermal fillers.

Plus, Dr. Nic’s Quick Fix offers three practical takeaways to support healthy aging from the inside out.

Katie Piper spent the second half of her twenties recovering from a violent acid attack, and coming to terms with how her life had permanently changed. Nearly two decades on, her life couldn’t be more different.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Katie and Katherine cover being a wayward teenagers and how attitudes to alcohol change as you age, the false and short-acting currency of beauty, and how she found faith after her life-path was changed at 24.

As Katie observes in her 2025 book Still Beautiful, age is a gift not everybody is given, which is why she’s very happy for journalists to print her real age. She doesn’t think that traumatic life events have added to her biological age, but the day-to-day reality of being married with children may well have. Listen to this episode of What’s My Age Again to find out how accurate her predictions were.

In this bonus episode of Dr. Nichola’s Second Opinion, Dr. Nichola Conlon gets into the science behind the hormonal shifts that come with aging, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

She'll explain how hormones like oestrogen and progesterone impact everything from mood and sleep to skin and bone health, and why menopause isn’t just a symptom of aging—it can actually accelerate it.

She'll break down the science behind how HRT can reverse some of the effects, and shares practical lifestyle tips to help you feel better and age smarter.

Plus, your questions tackle everything from early menopause to visible aging and the real benefits of HRT.
