AN EVENING WITH LIZ EARLE – A BETTER SECOND HALF
19:30 2nd May 2024
at The Holroyd Community Theatre
OswestryAN EVENING WITH LIZ EARLE – A BETTER SECOND HALF
19:30 - 20:30 2nd May 2024
More InformationJoin us for an evening with Liz Earle as she talks about her new book A Better Second Half and passes on her tips for living a healthier, happier life.
Liz Earle shows us how to future-proof our health in midlife and beyond using evidence-based techniques, ideas and wisdom accumulated over her years of experience in the wellbeing arena.
We all know that midlife women are often hit the hardest of all health-wise, sandwiched between bringing up our families, juggling work and caring for ailing parents, and it is all too easy to lose sight of ourselves. But whatever stage or age you are there is hope and many ways to take back control of your health – physical, mental and emotional – and make yourself a priority rather than bottom of the to-do list.
Liz Earle will sort the fads from the fiction in wellbeing and break through the noise that surrounds all the online advice that can overwhelm us. She has taken this mission to heart with her empowering new book A BETTER SECOND HALF. Part a retrospective of her life and part a brilliant, distillation of self-help, Liz puts forward what we need to do to live well and age well through midlife and beyond. Never shy of making her body a testing lab for new discoveries, Liz shares important information on the gut-brain axis, nutri-genomics, the efficacy of high intensity weight training, the pros and cons of low carb diets, biohacking techniques and much, much more.
Liz Earle is one of the most-trusted voices in wellbeing today and here she shares her hard-won wisdom, practical advice and know-how that can turn the tide on those feelings of dejection and can have us heading into our second halves full of vigour and hope to live longer and better.
This is sure to be an informative and empowering event. We look forward to welcoming Liz to Oswestry to celebrate the publication of A Better Second Half.
Author Biography: Liz Earle MBE is a champion of women’s health, a media influencer and author of many books. She is a TV presenter, podcast host and charity-founder. Her career has spanned 30 years and she is an authority in the world of natural beauty, nutrition, health and wellbeing.
Tickets: £12 without book (Admits One, ticket redeemable against a signed copy of A Better Second Half) or £22 with book (Admits One, includes a signed copy of A Better Second Half)
