In the first bonus episode of our new series of Dr Nichola’s Second Opinion, resident scientist Dr Nichola Conlon is back in your feed with more of the science behind What’s My Age Again?

This time she’s unpacking biological age tests: what they measure, how they work, and what they can really tell you about your health.

Dr Nichola explains why we all have two ages (chronological and biological) and how the show’s go-to GlycanAge test reads patterns to reveal how fast – or slow – your body is really ageing.

Listener questions take us from pollution and skin ageing, to healthspan vs lifespan and “inflammaging.”

And it’s back! Each week we sign off with Dr Nic’s Quick Fix.

This week: How to choose the right test and use results for insight rather than anxiety.

Send in your questions using our socials and we could be answering them soon on Dr Nichola’s Second Opinion.

Comedian Jimmy Carr looks suspiciously youthful at 53, despite spending decades touring relentlessly and living life at full speed. Is it the Botox? Hair transplant? Intermittent fasting? Cold plunges? Probably all of the above.

But behind the jokes is a serious question: which of these habits actually make a difference? And how old is Jimmy on the inside?

We’re constantly told the secret to staying young is diet, exercise or the latest wellness trend. But what if the real answer lies somewhere deeper, in how we deal with stress, ambition and purpose?

Jimmy shared his approach to longevity, from biohacking to fasting and recovery AND mindset and resilience, we're joined by Dr Nichola Conlon, verified science woman, who uncovers the science about staying younger for longer.

And we'll answer the question on everyones lips : Is Jimmy Carr ageing backwards… or just hiding it well?
