Live Your Best Life after 60

About Live Your Best Life after 60

Our 60s could and should be one of the best periods of our lives. We're older and wiser, we're more rounded as people, we have 60 or more years of experience under our belts, but can we really say we're living our best lives? Are we as fit as we want to be? Are we as healthy as we'd like to be? And do we have the financial security that we'd want? And if we do, how do we maintain that? In this podcast, we are going to explore all those themes and more. And we'll look at some of the things we can do to help make the years ahead among some of our best and our most enjoyable yet. I’m a father and grandfather, a magazine editor with just shy of 30 years experience and at age 62 I trained and qualified as a Personal Trainer. I’ve also prepared for and stepped into the world of retirement. I bring these living, breathing 60-plus experiences into the podcast, where I aim to combine my journalistic, PT and personal journeys together to give you some food for thought and maybe, inspire you to think what your best life might look like for you after 60 and how you might achieve it. So please join me every week for some insightful and informative conversations as well as some lively discussions and we might just have some fun with it along the way.

   Weight loss wonder drugs when we’re over 60

   This episode we’re looking at the weight loss drugs that are taking the world by storm. With clinical trials and real-world studies showing that the drugs can lead to 10-20% weight loss, it’s no surprise that not only are they being used for those with health-threatening weight issues but people are considering and buying these drugs for weight loss generally. For this conversation, Rob is joined once again by the podcast’s resident nutritional therapist Martina Cowen. They talk about what these drugs are, what they do and how they do it and the known potential side effects. With our over 60 audience in mind, they look also at: • additional issues that could affect our health which also include • the impact on muscle loss • the impact on bone mass • the potential for yo-yo weight regain • the need to address underlying issues; and • the areas we should focus on for our long-term weight management. The weight loss drugs discussed in this episode are only available when prescribed by a medical professional or authorised prescriber, such as a pharmacist. You can find out more about Martina here: FreedomfromCravings.co.uk (http://FreedomfromCravings.co.uk) Martina took a degree in psychology followed by three years studying nutrition. She works for the world renowned, the Optimum Health Clinic and spent three years at a leading medicine laboratory. She also runs her own private practice.

   Retirement planning: Decision overwhelm, The Danger Zone… and why camper vans?!

   This episode Rob is joined by Meaningful Money podcast and YouTube ‘veteran’ and Chartered Financial Planner Pete Matthew, to talk through some of the issues raised in Pete’s recently published book The Meaningful Money Retirement Guide. Pete has been a financial planner for some 28 years and set up his podcast and YouTube channels to help as many people as possible get to grips with their finances - explaining “everything you need to know and everything you need to do” when it comes to financial planning. Rob poses two scenarios - someone with enough money for their retirement and someone who hasn’t hit that mark as yet, and asks Pete what they could be focussing on to help them achieve their best life in retirement. They also talk about: • Setting out and dealing with changes to our financial plans - what’s in our control and what’s not • The period in retirement that Pete has termed ‘The Danger Zone’ • Using software to forecast our future finances • When and how to review our retirement plans • Dealing with the overwhelm that can come with making decisions about our retirement finances • And the one message that Pete would like people to think about when it comes to their retirement planning. Please note: In the podcast Pete talks about consolidating products to make things simpler - it is important to be aware of the terms of any products, in particular pensions, and fully research the options and implications when considering any consolidation – and preferably, seek the services of a regulated and qualified financial adviser to give you professional advice. Any financial decision needs to be comprehensively researched in order to be fully informed before taking any actions.

   The NEAT way to help lose and maintain a healthy weight after 60

   In this episode we are looking at a simple way that can help us both lose weight and maintain a healthy weight going forward. When we think of weight loss we tend to think of dieting or lifting weights or pounding the streets or cycling - or all of those and more. But what if there was something we could do every day that could have more of an effect on our weight than formal exercise? That’s what we’re going to be talking about in this episode. Rob explains how it works and introduces a rather tenuous step back in time to revisit a song from the 1970s. Please note: If you are on a calorie restricted diet then please talk to a medical professional before undertaken any exercise or other movement that will reduce your calorie intake further. If you are interested in the science of NEAT, a good place to start is the paper written by Dr J. A. Levine, Professor of Medicine, Richard Emslander Professor of Nutrition & Metabolism, Endocrine Research Unit, Mayo Clinic - which you can find HERE (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1365-2796.2007.01842.x)> Thank you to Les Gray (R.I.P), Rob Davis, Ray Stiles, Dave Mount (R.I.P) and also Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman (R.I.P) - for giving us a bunch of fun, life-loving songs in that era of the 1970s. Here’s a link to a YouTube video of Mud performing Tiger Feet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O3HHU6pWwQ&list=RD-O3HHU6pWwQ&start_radio=1) (with dance) - if you’re feeling curious or nostalgic.

   Planning for and better understanding investment risk

   This episode we are delving into investment risk. So many of us tend to steer our money away from risk, preferring to stash our cash in cash ISAs and savings accounts. The UK Government believes we should be taking more risk with our money – hoping we will invest in UK companies as well as achieve better returns for ourselves – and from 6 April 2027 are changing the ISA rules so that £8,000 of the £20,000 annual ISA allowance now has to be invested into a stocks and shares ISA*, meaning it is likely to be exposed to investment risk. The question is, should investment risk be avoided or is it in fact something we should be using to help better fund our best life? In this episode Rob talks to Ben Goss, CEO of Dynamic Planner, a company that has over 20 years experience of assessing and publishing risk values for investment funds. They discuss Ben’s new book, “Funding happiness – How to fund the life you want at a risk that’s right for you”, written to help demystify investment risk for clients of financial advisers – and also why investment risk should not be feared as it is, and how that risk can be assessed and managed to help us find that happiness and achieve a fulfilling life. * The new rules apply to investors under age 65. Investments can also be made into an Innovative Finance ISA, which includes peer-to-peer lending or debt-based securities.

   The importance of food variety in our diet

   In this episode we look at why we should be ensuring we get a greater variety of foods into our diet and how we can do so. To discuss these issues we welcome back registered nutritional therapist Martina Cowen. Martina and Rob talk about: • why we need variety in our diet and probably more than we are getting the nutritional value of more locally grown foods the impact of food variety on our health and immune systems processed foods and why they are not all bad for us and how we can achieve the recommended 30 varieties of fruit and vegetables a week - and why we may not be far off achieving that in our diet already. We end with a couple of quick tips from Martina for upping our food variety which we can all achieve.

   Beating 90% of new podcasts… so far (10 episodes round up)

   LiveYourBestLifeafter60 has passed its 10th episode, which, according to AI, means we have already surpassed some 90% of new podcasts that launch. So, we thought we’d mark this milestone with a bonus episode, taking extracts from some of our first sessions to give people a flavour of what we’re doing with the podcast and maybe pique your interest in listening to any of those you might have missed. If you are new to LiveYourBestLifeafter60 this is the perfect place to start. You’ll hear from: Connor Chatfield of Potential Personal Training on why exercise and coming to a gym doesn’t have to be intimidating and how once we start to exercise, we quickly move from thinking about how we look to thinking about how we feel Our resident nutritionist Martina Cowen, talking supplementation and which vitamins and minerals we may need to boost ourselves generally and in particular during winter. In our first episode on personal finances we spoke to Jude Gardner about her new pension-demystifying service called When I’m…  Jude talks about why it’s never too late to get to grips with our pensions and our retirement planning. Episode 6 featured Chartered Financial Planner Rebecca Lucas. She talks about how she starts the conversation when people come to see her about their retirement plans. In episode 10 we returned to talking about fitness and exercise, with Anna Banton, owner of route1fitness, who talked about resistance training, and why it is particularly important for us over 60-year-olds, and how when people come to the gym, they can surprise themselves about what they can achieve. Our final two clips come from what we are calling our Peace of Mind series, looking at actions we can take that once done, can give us the peace of mind that we’ve dealt with an important issue and we can then get on with living our best life. The first topic we dealt with was estate planning and inheritance tax, with more and more people finding the taxman knocking on their door. Here, Kristian Manton, Chartered Financial Adviser with Octopus Money, talks about the incidences of people having to pay IHT and the approach people can take to start examining whether or not their estates might be liable for this tax. Our last clip is from an interview with James Mabey, partner and private client solicitor at London law firm Winckworth Sherwood. We discuss the peace of mind can that come from having a well structured Will in place and one of the key areas of concern for people, which is making sure our assets go to the people we want to have them. Please note that the LiveYourBestLifeafter60 podcast is for educational purposes and information only, it is not personal financial, legal, health, medical, or fitness advice.

   Peace of Mind series: Will writing - not as simple as it may seem

   We all know we need a Will, don’t we? But how much control over our assets can we really have after our death? And what happens if we don’t have a Will - who gets our wealth then? What can a Will actually cover? How important are Wills in tax planning? What are the common mistakes people make that could see part or all of a Will invalidated? And what are the benefits of putting a Will in trust? To answer these questions and more, this episode Rob is joined by James Mabey, partner and private client solicitor at London law firm Winckworth Sherwood. It seems fairly straightforward to set up a will – we write down what we want to happen, where and to whom we want our assets to go, and we get a couple of people to witness it. Job done. But as this conversation reveals, it is rarely as simple as that. There is plenty more to consider and if we get things wrong, we can leave part or all of our Will invalidated. This is another episode in what we’re calling our Peace of Mind series, where we look at areas which if we tackle them now, can give us the peace of mind that we’ve dealt with an important issue and we can get on with living our best life.

   Resistance training and why it is important after 60

   The NHS and other medical and sporting authorities recommend we do 2-3 sessions of resistance training a week. But what is resistance training and how much should we do? In this week’s conversation, Rob talks to Anna Banton, owner of Route1Fitness based in Crawley in Sussex. They discuss what resistance or strength training is, why it becomes more important as we get older and how much resistance training we should do post 60? Anna tells how she moved from Sweden, where she was a nurse, and became a gym owner, and explains why resistance training is about growing stronger now while also preparing ourselves for the decades ahead - including why it’s good for our knees, backs and hips - and how Anna incorporates resistance training into programmes for her clients. They also touch on society’s deep-rooted beliefs around female aesthetics and how gyms are empowering women to feel its okay to go to gym in their 60s and older and lift weights, which doesn’t mean bulking up. And finally, why resistance training really is all about quality of life. You can find out more about Route1Fitness Here (https://www.route1.fitness).

   Peace of Mind series: Tackling inheritance tax planning and sooner rather than later

   The is the first episode in what we’re calling our Peace of Mind series, where we look at areas which if we tackle them now, can give us the peace of mind that we’ve dealt with an important issue and we can get on with living our best life. In the Autumn 2025 Budget, the then UK Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the goalposts on pensions’ tax status, making pensions money unspent on death part of an individual’s estate and so potentially liable for inheritance tax - as of April 2027. The number of people now liable for an IHT bill has been increasing every year, and the forecasts suggest many more are likely to see their beneficiaries landed with an IHT bill in the years ahead, with the tax allowance thresholds frozen until 2031. In this episode Rob talks to Kristian Manton, a Chartered Financial Adviser from Octopus Money. They discuss: The effect of the recent changes for UK tax payers whose estates are likely to be liable for IHT. Recent research by Octopus Investments showing the potential monetary impact of tax planning as early as we can. The importance of getting to grips with tax planning and having discussions with family about it. The starting point for people in their 60s wanting to tackle this issue. Some solutions a financial adviser might cover when talking about inheritance tax. Further areas of which to be aware. As Kristian points out in the interview, IHT is a tax that is an individual problem which requires an individual solution for every family. It is important to know whether you have a potential IHT issue and the evidence is that dealing with it as soon as possible can be beneficial. Where gifting, it is important to ensure we don’t give away more than we can afford to, bearing in mind known and potential needs, such as long term care costs – as once that money is gifted, it is gone and out of our control. IHT planning is a key area where having the help of a professional, qualified and regulated financial planner can be money well spent - especially where more complex entities such as tax-efficient investments and trusts are being considered.

    Why regular exercise is essential over 60 and how to achieve it

    In the recent podcast with Connor Chatfield of Potential Personal Training we touched briefly on the need for consistency if we are to improve and maintain our fitness and our health goals. In this mini/solo episode, Rob looks in more depth at the importance of consistency of exercise, in particular for building and maintaining muscle and bone mass as we age, and offers some suggestions as to how we can be consistent, even when. We’re not feeling it, including four ways he uses himself to ensure he is exercising regularly.

    Can we start exercising in our 60s or have we left it too late?

    In this episode Rob is joined by Connor Chatfield, CEO of Potential Personal Training, a private training facility with gyms in Haywards Heath, Lindfield and Uckfield in Sussex, to answer the question of the day, which is: Can we start exercising in our 60s or have we left it too late? Rob and Connor talk about the importance and benefits of exercising in our 60s, particularly if we want to stay fit and healthy for as long as possible. They tackle taking those first steps into the gym, the main benefit exhibited by people when they start to exercise (which isn’t what you might think it is), setting goals, how quickly you might see results, proving you can do it, the social side of exercising, and finding what works for you. And they take all those reasons we give ourselves for not starting to exercise and show why they simply don’t hold water. No more excuses people! Here’s a quick summary of points we talk about: Check with your doctor or other qualified health care provider to ensure you can exercise and what you can and can't do. Start where you are - be realistic; don’t go into the gym and try to do what 20 year olds are doing, for example, you won't keep up! Build slowly - it’s not a race, strength and fitness build over time and your body will need rest days (rest days are actually when muscle strength is built). Be consistent - regular exercise is the way you will get results. Enjoy exercising for what it is - its benefits for your health and fitness, and also the social life that can come with it. Finally, you can exercise at home or if you can afford it at a gym, and for both of those seek guidance first on the exercises that are best for you and how to do them correctly. Or better still, use a personal trainer in a one to one, small or large group session, where you will get the guidance and accountability you need.
