Ed Balls

About this episode

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.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
