Ed Balls

Few former politicians have had successful reincarnations as television presenters, but Ed Balls is one of them. He joins Gabby to talk about how he is loving the so-called midlife crisis because it’s only really at the midpoint that he’s been able to say yes to the many things he would like to try – including famously, dancing on <em>Strictly</em>! Ed also discusses what raising a young family within the world of politics was like, the new podcast he's cohosting <a href="https://linktr.ee/politicalcurrency" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Political Currency,</em></a> and Gabby gets his thoughts on how middle-aged women in particular could have a huge say in the next General Election. They also speak to psychiatrist and author of <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-build-a-healthy-brain/kimberley-wilson/9781529351491" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>How To Build A Healthy Brain</em></a><em> </em>and<a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/unprocessed/kimberley-wilson/9780753559741" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em> Unprocessed</em></a>, Kimberley Wilson, about the significance of diet and exercise on brain health and what we need to be doing in midlife to give ourselves the best chance against Dementia.<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
