Welcome to Vivacious and Vital Living – the podcast for women who want to create the healthiest, most energetic, and purposeful years of their lives. I'm your host, Marian Hearne, Nutritional Therapist, and I'm delighted you're here. This podcast is for women who know that getting older doesn't mean stepping back, playing small, or putting their dreams on hold. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, post menopause, recovering from life's challenges, or simply looking to thrive as you age, you'll find inspiration, practical tools, and encouragement to help you embrace this exciting chapter of life. Together, we'll explore how to reclaim your energy, improve your sleep, nourish your body, build resilience to stress, strengthen your health, and create habits that support long-term vitality. But we'll go beyond nutrition and health too. We'll talk about purpose, confidence, boundaries, personal growth, and what it really means to live life on your own terms. Because thriving isn't just about feeling better physically—it's about having the energy, clarity, and courage to create a life that truly reflects who you are and what matters most to you. Each week, I'll share evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle advice, practical strategies you can apply immediately, and honest conversations inspired by both my professional knowledge and my own life experiences. My hope is that every episode leaves you feeling informed, encouraged, and empowered to take the next step on your journey. This is your time. A time to reclaim your energy, live with purpose, and embrace the possibilities ahead. So, whether you're out for a walk, making a cup of tea, or simply taking a well-earned moment for yourself, thank you for spending this time with me. Together, let's own our energy, live on purpose, and relish our lives.

Reset your foundations: small nutrition habits that support your health after 50

If you've ever reached a point where you realise your healthy routines have quietly slipped away, today's episode is for you. Life has a habit of interrupting even the best intentions. Illness, caring for loved ones, holidays, busy seasons or simply the changing demands of midlife can leave us feeling disconnected from the habits that once helped us feel our best. Today we're beginning a brand-new series all about gently returning to the foundations of good health—not through restriction or perfection, but through simple habits that nourish and support us for the long term.

A birthday worth celebrating: My kidney journey from bleak to hope

Welcome to today's episode. This is a personal episode about my kidney journey over the last year. I was told, or more correctly shouted and screamed at, by my consultant when he informed me that I should be on dialysis. It was the first time I'd heard it, on that 21st July 2025 hospital appointment. It also turned out that they planned just to monitor my kidney until she gave up the ghost. That would have been next January / February. I was pretty ill by then. I'd have got slowly sicker the nearer as I got nearer to that time. There was to be no help I find out months later that the plan had been to put me on dialysis and keep me on it for life. There was to be no discussion on any other option discussed or put forth. Luckily, as you've heard from other episodes I've gone through an arduous journey to find a new consultant in a different hospital. Now I've moved from feeling like things were quite bleak to slowly finding hope again. There will come a time that I will need to go on the transplant list. That could be two years, or more. I now will be kept as well as possible with drugs until then. This episode is about resilience, better care, and learning to live fully even with chronic illness.
