Following a string of successful Pop-ups throughout February, Henley Literary Festival have announced another Pop-up in April – Liz Earle MBE brings her empowering new book A better Second Half to Henley.

In it, she shares how midlife women, often hit the hardest of all health-wise – sandwiched between bringing up our families, juggling work and caring for ailing parents, can take back control of their health – physical, mental and emotional – and make themselves a priority rather than bottom of the to-do list.

With this new book Liz 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. She will sort the fads from the fiction in wellbeing and break through the noise that surrounds all the online advice that can overwhelm us. 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 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.

Festival director Harriet Reed Ryan said: “We’re delighted to welcome Liz back to Henley after many years. The topic of health and well-being – particularly later in life – has never been more important and I’m sure this will resonate with a lot of people who are overwhelmed by the huge amounts of information on how best to care for themselves. Liz is hugely experienced in this area and I’m so pleased she’s coming to Henley to share her knowledge with us.”

Listen to Liz talk about her new book on 26^th April at 12pm in the Town Hall and about how, in her words, you can Dial Back Your Age to Live a Longer, Healthier, Happier Life!
