Nicole, when was the last time you actually listened to your gut? I always do because nutrition in midlife is so important and we know there's a lot of misleading health advice out there and most of what we're taught about food is wrong. Did you know that Big Food even pays TikTok influencers to say that ultra processed foods are healthy when they're not? I actually find that shocking but it's no wonder that one in eight people globally, that's over a billion people are living with obesity. So our sponsor, Zoe, understands that our health is suffering and that it's time we

listened to our gut. They make your gut health their business. And as we've learned in over five years of doing podcasts, gut health is key to overall health.

It's not restricted to 40-somethings. I'm opening it out to any age group. Broadening the conversation. Not maybe not men but it's definitely an issue that any woman could have. I went to have

my toes painted. Now this is not a common thing because I am very very flexible and extremely capable of doing my own and 99% of the time I do but occasionally if I'm getting my nails done I get my toes done too. Anyway I will say I forgot my flip-flops okay I forgot them. That's a whole other story but I'm not gonna tell it today. But anyway, I went to get my nails painted. I paid to have my nails painted. I sat there for 35 minutes with them drying, had the oil, had the cling film. What the fuck are you doing? What the fuck are you doing? Why are you still having nail polish on your toes? I never do shellac toes. Why? Because I find that the whole thing can just peel off in one go and I don't like it.

Never ever ever ever Have had that ever when it's just polish it stays for like a month Yeah, but you've got to stay there for like a month for it to dry I did I sat there like a numpty for 35 minutes I had to leave because I had shit to do so we did the oil the cling film the everything else They're bone dry. Anyway, I get into bed that night take off my socks They are smudged to shit with the imprint of my sock on the toes! Of course they are.

But you know, the good thing is that now there's something called 3D nail art. You could just pass it off as that. No, you couldn't because it was like sock, sock imprint. But when you realise that you'd forgotten your flip-flops, at that point, wouldn't you just do a shellac? No! Because? For aforementioned reason! I have found the whole thing just peels off. You're absolutely wrong. I'm not wrong because it's happened to me. No, no, you're wrong. But it's happened. No, but you've still got a problem. The chances of it peeling off in one were more unlikely than that smudging. That smudging was absolutely 99.9% gonna happen. It

never happens to me if I bring my flip-flops. Ever. So we're also in January. I know. So I've paid the money and what am I doing this morning? I'm sitting there repainting the fucking toes I just paid to have done myself and you know what they looked fine before I even went. It was only because I wanted a different color. I thought I've just burnt, just thrown that money in the bin. Just burnt it. I could have just kept what I had which was perfectly good. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm moaning about it.

You can moan about it all you like but that is a little bit self-inflicted. I did say I forgot my flip flops. My fault. Oh my god. I feel so tired and I've got such a headache but I refuse to drink a glass of water. I did think after 35 minutes. No, it never dries. It never ever ever ever ever dries. Why do fingers dry but toes never dry? Never dry, they never dry. Why?

Well I don't know. What is that? Because I've done a shellac for years and years on my toes because who could be bothered to sit there for 35 minutes and then worry about them smudging. Because if you're having your nails done as well they do the toes first you're already sitting there so it's fine like the drying time is built in by the time they do your nails. Where I go they do at the same time. Oh. In and out in half an hour the whole thing is done. Well that's my moan. I didn't say it wasn't self-inflicted I'm just saying I'm still moaning about it. You can moan about it.

It was annoying. It was annoying. Do you know what my moan is? What? Bras. Bras. I hate bras. What do you hate about bras?

I hate everything about bras. They're uncomfortable, they're expensive. I never seem to have the right strap for the right top. You can always see it. It's always a problem. I don't want my underwear on display if I'm wearing a certain top. You can always see it. It's always a problem. I don't want my underwear on display if I'm wearing a certain top. I just don't. And then I have to go through all the different bras I've got and they're expensive. So then you think, oh, I need another

bras and you get another bra and it's like, oh, another 40, 50 quid. And then I put it on and it's still uncomfortable. We did a whole self care club show on wearing like bras. We had an expert on, she measured us up. We had like the most fucking enormous tits I've ever heard of. Like literally before that show I was a 34B, I finished that show I'm suddenly a 30 double F. What the actual fuck was that? What was that? It fucked with my identity. I'm not joking. I went home, I said to Ollie, what bra size am I? 34B. I was like, let me just tell you my friend, I'm a joking. I went home, I said to Ollie, what bra size am I? 34B. I was like, let me just tell you my friend, I'm a 30FF.

Let me just tell you, you've never been a 34B. I was! No you weren't. Not as long as I've known you, you've not been a 34B. You've always had big boobs. They're not that big! They are! Well, according to this woman, I'm like in the special big tit bra section. Yeah, so am I.

Yeah but it's ridiculous because we're not big busted women. We're just not. I think you've got quite a big bust. I haven't. You have. Whatever. What size bra are you wearing now? I actually think it's a oh I think this is like a 34D, maybe double D.

Is it too small? No, it's really not. It's really not too small. Anyway, they're uncomfortable and they're expensive. If they're wired, they're really uncomfortable, yeah. So I just cannot get along with bras. But we also are too old to not wear bras anymore. I've never not worn a bra.

Oh, I have. I never used to wear a bra. You never used to wear a bra. I need to. They were like, just great. Both my girls could get away without wearing bras. They wouldn't, but they could. Yeah, but that's what mine looked like.

Oh, they're just fabulous. Just like perky little boobs. And they're like, do you think I could get, I said, listen, if I had your boobs, I'd never put a bra on my back ever again. I never used to bother, I never needed one. I never ever had that. So I've always needed to wear it.

Anyway, the point is, I don't want to spend a lot of money on bras I don't want to be on cut. I'm sick of being on console. They're anti-feminist I've always said that they are anti fucking feminists because if men had to wear bras They wouldn't have the wire. They wouldn't dig in they wouldn't be too tight round the back They wouldn't ride up and they wouldn't cost you like 50 quid to get a decent bra. I just don't think men would wear a bra I just think that all womankind would be like socially sort of moulded into just expecting the bosoms to be as they are. Well it's not good for your boobs though is it? It's good to have them sort of tucked away. I don't know, I don't know. I do wonder. I think it's more an aesthetic than an actual issue

because like whose problem is it if they're pointing downwards or they're not being uplifted. It's all for the male gaze isn't it? But it does look better under clothes. Only because we're socialised to think that. We're conditioned to think that. Yes I agree. That's like saying you know we're also conditioned to think that smaller bodies look nicer. Yes. But who's to say that? Yes, if I put on a t-shirt now, if I'm just getting out of bed and I just stick a t-shirt over my head, Oh no, I know. It doesn't look as good as when I have a bra on. Of course it doesn't. Yeah. Again, that's conditioning or is that our opinion? We're never gonna get to the answer of that because it's impossible to know the difference.

What are you going to do about it then? Well, all I know is that when my day is over, the first thing I do is take my bra off. I cannot get that fucker off my body quick enough. And it has to be a very special occasion for me to put on a proper bra. Oh, totally. Like I don't have a proper bra on today. I have a soft bra on today. I've got a sports bra on. I have the sort of bra on that basically she told me I shouldn't

be wearing. Same. Because it doesn't do a lot. She was horrified when I told her I only wear sports bras. She was. She was horrified when I showed her my bra. Yeah. I know. She was very strict about bras. It was her job. I know. She was a linger about bras. She... It was her job. I know. She was a lingerie expert. She did her job. She was like, the bra, please. She was. Yeah.

But we're still wearing the wrong bras, so she didn't do her job, did she? What feedback have we got this week? Oh, the online selling. You know we had someone who wrote in and they said that they were pissed off with online selling and like the cheaper the item the more people muck them around. Yes. And how they were just so over it.

Oh, you were so into that. Oh my god. People are, they resonated. Go on. OMG, selling stuff online. I hard related to your listener. I sold a stunning designer dress last month that I wore once. It cost me 350 quid and I was selling it for a hundred pounds. One woman offered me 75 quid and asked me if I could have it taken up for her as she was a few inches smaller than me. Um, no.

Also, what a liberty! What a liberty! There's so many things wrong with that because you can't take up a dress on behalf of someone that you've never met or even someone that you've met because you have to pin it up. Like how are you supposed to know what length it is and then she'll send it back, oh no it's too short. It's too short now, I can have my money back. You know that doesn't work. Oh my god. People are, I'm telling you people are so people-y. I find it astounding when people take liberties because I just am not like that and I'm all,

I think, I think I am very conscious about not putting anyone out or asking for them to do... I think it's because I was in the service industry for so many years and people always put liberties on you. So I never want to be that person that does that. Yeah. But I find it amazing that people don't understand that it's a liberty. Listen to this one. I had to tell you my online selling story. I was selling some limited edition trainers they were reselling on some sites for up to £400. Some guy offered me a hundred quid and £50 worth of Nando's vouchers. That is fucking

brilliant. Another said that he lived in the US, so could I deliver it in person to his mate in the UK so he could bring them over when he visited? I live in London. His mate lived in Wales. What is wrong with people? Ah, that is online selling. That is like classic.

That is the classic kind of shit that happens when you try and sell online. I just don't really sell online. My daughter does it, but she just seems to deal with it. I had it today. This morning it happened. I sold some Amazon Alexa some bullshit like we just don't have them in our house and we seem to have about three. So I just got rid of them. I was like, I've got Alexa's all over the place. Whatever people want to pay for them. Just take them. I can't stand it. Anyway, it's sold, it's gone. And I'm getting, hello, please can you tell me when you can ship this?

Please can you tell me when is the earliest you can ship this? But I'm like, how, how desperate can you be for an Amazon? Like, what is the need here? Like, what's the problem that you can't resolve in the next 48 hours before this Amazon Alexa arrives at your house? You don't know. You don't know. Just fucking Google it in the next 48 hours before this Amazon Alexa arrives at your house. Well you don't know. You don't know. Just fucking Google it in the meantime? Yeah, or just go onto Spotify yourself and put the song on.

Or open an encyclopedia. Also, I never found they worked properly. If I said like, Alexa, play Amy Winehouse Rehab. Yeah. It would just come up with something. It never, it never, or it played the wrong version or it never came up, especially if you did musical theatre because we're big musical theatre fans in our house. So if you say, oh, play such and such from Miss Saigon, it would just

play the most random stuff. I just never understood the point of it. I tell you what else I don't get and Yeah. And I cannot use. There is something technical that I cannot fathom. Go on. Siri. What? Siri. Are you Siri? Are you Siri all day? I'm not joking. Yes, I do. You don't because I'm normally with you all day and I've never ever ever ever. Oh, you don't need him when you're with me because because I'm head of tech. I am honestly Siri set a timer for five minutes, Siri set an alarm for 11.30, Siri what time is it in Australia? I ask, I talk to Siri all day, how can you not? You see you just talked, look it's happening now,

you just talked to him, he's just got off see. Oh my god it just set, yeah but hold on I talk to Siri all the time. So I say it to now Siri you gotta say hey hey Siri is this where I'm going wrong hey hey hey Siri oh my god oh that's why the phone lights up hey Siri play Miss Saigon sorry there was a problem adjusting your volume see See it's shit. It's utter shit never works. It works for me. There you go. Have I just fixed a techie problem for you?

This is Miss Saigon. Yeah, that's the helicopter that lands on the stage. Hey Siri. Hey Siri, stop. We're in the middle of a podcast. Stop playing Miss Saigon. Hey Siri. Hey Siri stop we're in the middle of a podcast. Stop playing Miss Saigon. Hey Siri. Okay can I tell you what I asked Siri to do last night? Show me photos of Cavapus. Oh my god it's showing me photos of Cavapus. Yeah. Cavapoo puppies. Oh my god. Right. This morning. I can't be freaked out. Why are you freaked out? You just forgot to say the word hey. Yeah. Oh no. I would

always press a button on my old phone. I had to press a button. I cannot tell you how good I'm feeling that I've just solved a techie problem for you. I'm feeling like. I don't feel like it was a problem for my boots. I don't feel like it was a problem. Well it was. You said it didn't work. It does work. But I wasn't finding it problematic. I just didn't care. Oh I care because I need it and also... What do you need it for? Everything! Well like but you've just had a go at someone who doesn't you know... Alexa is spying on you. It's a different thing. Siri is the same you know it's the same concept. I know but we can't have it in the house. Can't have it in the house.

But the phone's in your ha- Could you try again? See, now it's talking to me. Now I went shut up. I didn't catch that, could you try again? You see? I had to take- Siri, hey Siri, shut up.

No, don't be rude to Siri. Yeah. I didn't catch that. You can't be rude to Siri. You can't be rude to Siri. Hey Siri, go away. Don't abuse, don't verbally abuse Siri. Go away isn't verbally abusive. Why are you being mean?

Hey Siri, I'm sorry. It's all good, just throw it back, it's all good. Yeah, oh see you've got yourself a new friend now. Hey Siri. Oh my god, okay. I've created a monster. I think you're very clever. Oh what did he say? Oh shucks. This is weird. This is why people have like these online relationships. Yeah. Don't they? With like AI characters. Have you heard about this?

Well last week my son got into trouble at school and he had to go and see the teacher the next day and he said to us at the dinner table, I had a whole conversation with AI about what I should say to the teacher. Like I told AI the problem and then I said, give me a way to talk to the teacher, tell me the words to use. And he was like, totally using the phrases that AI told me to use. Like I understand what it is that I did wrong. I've learnt my lesson and I won't be making that mistake again. Jesus it's frightening.

Terrifying. But last night I used it to turn on the torch so I could let the dog see to go out for his nighttime wee. What if you say hey Siri, turn on the torch. Hey Siri, turn on the torch? Yeah. Hey Siri turn on the torch. On my phone. You see? Oh my god. I've blown your mind haven't I? Look look. Yeah. Hey Siri turn off the torch. Yeah. Do you know why this is good for me because I you know I can never find anything on my phone. I can't find an app, I can't find the torch, I can't find the anything so I can just ask it now and it just does it for me.

It's made life a lot easier. How long have you been using Siri? A long time. How long? A long time. We have a very, very deep and meaningful relationship. So I could just tell it to do? You can tell it to do what the fuck you want.

Hey Siri, call my mum. Hey Siri, do this. Hey Siri, do that. We'll do anything for you that you ask. But it's not listening to you. Well no, because it's your voice. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, so something in my life actually listens to what I say. What a relief. So let's just take a quick break, and then we'll come back with some more feedback and one of our listeners at Midlife Meltdown. Lauren, you know me and you know when it comes to answering the listeners' dilemmas and when it comes to food, I always trust my gut. And I also trust Zoe, the leading size and nutrition company. All the nutritionists that we've spoken to on Self Care Club have highlighted just how

much misleading information is out there when it comes to food. Things like the claims that you see on packaging that say things like low sugar or nothing artificial. These are often assigned to actually avoid these foods. Ever noticed a health claim on fresh fruit? No, never. Right, well you get my point. So it's completely understandable why there's so much distrust and wondering who you should turn to for accurate information. Well, it's very simple. It's not a dilemma for us. We use Zoe.

Backed by one of the world's largest microbiome databases and most scientifically advanced at-home gut health tests, Zoe gives you proven science whenever you need it.

It's like a shampoo and conditioner in one bottle. Yeah but they are wrong. What was that called? They are wrong. A two in one. No but which was the brand that did it first? Pan 10? No it wasn't pan 10 it was in a green bottle. I believe it was pan 10 because it was like revolutionary. But it wasn't revolutionary. What do you mean? Shampoo and conditioner in one bottle? Please tell me you have never used that. I did when it came out in the early 90s or whenever it was. I obviously don't do it now because

I've learnt from you. My husband, does he use it? I buy really really nice shampoo and conditioner for me and my girls. My girls have a lot of long thick hair and they colour it and blah blah blah so they need really good conditioner and shampoo and same for me. And I basically have now banned Adam from using any of it because he's got like hair that is two inches long and I cut it every five seconds so you're not just not using the alternative or the Moroccan oil or just now we're into pure ology like just no yeah no yeah so the other day it was my birthday which i've mentioned and two of my friends this was the most gorgeous gift they bought me i wear a lalabo perfume which is really expensive and i usually get it either for my birthday or for

christmas because it's so expensive it's such a treat yeah um and I only ever wear it the weekends and blah blah blah. They bought me the Lelabo the same scent shower gel. Oh, that's a nice gift. Isn't that a gorgeous gift? Anyway, my husband was in the shower the other day and he said, because sometimes I buy him like a pan ten or an Alberto Balsam, like a cheaper shampoo and I stick it in and there wasn't any and he basically picked up the L'Alabo and he was about to squeeze it goes oh so this shampoo is for me I'm like no I mean that shit was nearly going all over

his two inch long hair I'd go mad I did he's like it's only shower gel I'm like no it is like the nicest gift yeah back the fuck away my husband's just not good enough to use it I'm like no it is like the nicest gift. Yeah. Back the fuck away. My husband is just not good enough to use it. I'm like just forget it. That's not the point. Just forget it. My husband buys such bougie shampoo. I am so not surprised. He's like Philip Kingsley Kerstas all the way. He's buying like 25 pound bottles of shampoo. I'm really sorry it is a total waste of money. Oh well can you tell him that because he loves it. Anyway. Also why don't you just use it? Because he likes a volume shampoo and I like an anti-frizz so we just never the twain shall meet.

We just don't. Anyway the little one right he won't use the kids bath he won't use the kids bathroom right he won't use the family bathroom right he won't use the family bathroom because he prefers our shower so he therefore uses the Philip Kingsley oh no not dad's stuff because dad is clever enough to put it on a really high shelf where he can't reach he uses all my stuff i also got a diptyque shower gel this shit is nearly 50 pounds a bottle, right? You do not slather this on a post rugby pitch 11 year old body, right? This is like when you want to smell nice stuff. This is when you're going on a date or like you're going to a party. Yeah. And it's a shower oil. Anyway, lovely kid comes out of the shower, comes down, sits next to me on the sofa, I'm like,

you smell amazing. And I realised he's using my fucking diptyque. He's using it as shampoo and body wash. Oh, it's horrific. It's horrific. It was really bad. You should have used that as your moan. I should.

I just did. By the way, you've won. Thanks. Thanks. So anyway, I said to you, I didn't know if this was feedback or the moan, but this is what this person said to the person worrying about his colleagues who are half his age. Oh, so there was, I think it was a man who wrote in to say he's in his mid forties.

Oh, yes. All his co-workers are in their twenties. He likes to hang out with them, but sometimes they stand in a group and he thinks they're talking about him, but they weren't. I learned this lesson the hard way by befriending a group of much younger people at my job. Then remembering exactly how old I was when we went out on a Wednesday night and at 2am they were chatting about where to go on to next and offering me an array of substances with names I had never even heard of. Oh, oh, that's problematic.

I have never felt so old and never felt so ill the next day when they just all had an extra coffee and looked totally fine. It took me three days to recover. I am now friends with a gang in compliance. Average age 53. I look and feel like a youngster when we go out for our 8pm local suppers in inverted commas. Sorry to say I think 8pm is quite late for supper. I do. I do. It's fine on a Saturday night but a mid-week meal I wouldn't do eight o'clock. You wouldn't? No because you're not going to finish till 10 then you're not home till depending on where you go if you meet someone in town you're not home till 11. That's late.

That's okay for me. That's okay. Yeah but you go to bed much later. I do. I go to bed much earlier. Yeah. I wake up earlier. Yeah. All true. All true. Yeah I would not be okay with 2am on a Wednesday night. I could not do 2am on a Wednesday night. Then go to work the next day. To be honest, you know, our work is not particularly challenging. But if we'd been out till 2am last night and got pissed and taken an array of substances, I wouldn't really be able to sit here and chat with you. But I wouldn't be taking the array of substances. I wouldn't really be able to sit here and chat with you.

But I wouldn't be taking the array of substances. I just wouldn't take them. I'd have a few drinks with you, but I just wouldn't because I just A, don't want to, B, they would scare me, and C, I just wouldn't be able to cope with it. All of the above? Yeah. I wouldn't even know what they were and I'd be too embarrassed to ask. Like, do I lick it? Do I drink it? Do I snort it? What do I do with it? do I do I do I do I do it. What's it going to do to me. Yeah. How long will it last. I wonder if they used to call this.

And if I don't like it. Can I turn it off. Where did you get it from. Yeah. Do you trust this dealer. Do you know them. Do you know their mum. You know you're rubbing off on me because I went on a girls trip to Amsterdam for my friend's 50th and we were in some bar or whatever and the manager, basically one of my friends

has got an enormous following on TikTok. She's got like nearly 400,000 followers. So I think one of my other friends had mentioned that she had this enormous following. So the manager comes over and he just hands us like four bags of grass. I love the way you say grass like it's 1963. What should I call it? Weed? Weed, skunk. I don't know. What was it? Weed. Hash. Look at you trying to be cool skunk.

I don't think they even call it skunk anymore. Yeah, they do because it's all skunk because it's not weed because no one actually grows it in a field anymore. It's all made in a factory that's the problem with it it's not natural anymore. Oh I see well anyway whatever he came over with four bags of something to smoke four bags of drugs well it's there it's legal it's totally legal so it's not really drugs still drugs we could say listen you can say that about sugar you can say that about alcohol it's totally legal. So it's not really drugs. Still drugs. Legal. Listen, you can say that about sugar. You can say that about alcohol. It's all poison. Isn't it?

Yes, but not illegal. It's legal there. It's more legal in the rest of the world. It's just not legal here. Oh, anyway, so he comes over with this four bags. Yeah. And my first thought was, well, firstly, I would never smoke it because I don't want to My first thought was oh my god

People can't just smoke that you don't know this guy could be laced with anything could be laced with anything Could be grown. Anyway, you just don't know what it is That was my first thought. Yeah, you are rubbing off on me I would never have thought that years ago would totally have been my first thought I know because I spend a lot of time with you got straight in the bed or back to him. But then they they took it but we were like leaving like the next morning. Oh, just put it in your knickers and go through. Go on the airplane with it. No, they were looking at people to give it to

and then someone in your knickers and get on the airplane. And then someone came up to us in the morning. We were like by the canals and we were taking photos and it was a gorgeous sunny day. And this lovely couple came up to us and they're like, Oh, I hope you don't mind us. But we've got loads of weed left. Weed. Yeah. Skunk. Grass. Yeah. Marijuana. What other names are there? I don't. Hash, that's the solid stuff, isn't it? We've got loads of drugs left over. Would you like it? And then we were like, oh no, thank you, because we're going home today too. You literally couldn't get rid of this stuff.

You couldn't give it away. Well, I don't know who's winning the moan this week. I feel like I'm winning because I had so many moans. Well, I think the diptyque moan was very legitimate. It was very valid. And I think I can't even remember what your first moan was. Oh, my toes. My smushed toes. I'm really sorry, but you need to up your game with those.

Get with the program. Get with the program, get a fucking shellac and stop moaning about it because that was totally self-inflicted. It was, it was. It's like I said it's like saying you're thirsty but you refuse to drink. That is what it's like. But the Diptyque shower gel, I feel you and I think that's the surprising winner of this. Okay. Thank you I'll take it. You are welcome. You have one. I'll also hide the bottle I've hidden the bottle now. Have you? Oh if my girls see that they're gonna be all over that shit all over that shit My daughter went through a phase of nicking my perfume before school So I had to hide that but when you have girls you have to hide everything

Nothing is sacred, nothing. Anyway, you have won the mid-week meltdown of the week. What do I get? You get a... I'd like an airport Toblerone, like a really big one. Can I have that? No, they're really expensive. Have you actually tried to buy a Toblerone? They are big one can have that no they're inexpensive have you actually tried to have you actually tried to buy Toblerone they are really expensive no I've never tried to buy an airport Toblerone but I'm joking I'm not but I'd love it if someone bought one for me for you're about to go to the airport if you'd love it just get it take some fucking massive Toblerone on an airplane with me. No, on the other end. Bring it home with you. It's never really occurred to me.

There is nothing more enjoyable than seeing a massive Toblerone and thinking, oh yeah, and then you have it and you think, I don't eat Toblerone enough. I know, why is it so good? It's so good. Also, I saw the other day on the internet that apparently everyone's been breaking it off wrong. You know how you always snap it towards you and it's really hard to sometimes snap it? Yeah.

Especially if it's been in the fridge. Right. Well, apparently everyone's been doing it wrong all these years. The way to get the triangle off is to bend it backwards towards the other triangles. Well, I would actually say that's bad marketing. I agree. But who knew that was the right way to break a Toblerone? Well, the people at Toblerone.

Well, they could have shared that information. Couldn't they? Right, we're going to be back on Thursday with a main show of 40ish. Please keep your feedback coming in, your dilemmas coming in. We love hearing from you. Hello at 40ish. That's 40ish.co.uk and we'll be back on Thursday. Bye.
