Katherine Ryan's husband Bobby Koostra– Will being married to Katherine be good for his biological age?
Katherine Ryan is 77 but will her partner Bobby Kootstra fare better in the biological age test? This episode is a window into the Ryan/Kootstra marriage - they talk about anything and everything - from his upbringing, to his red meat diet to why he doesn’t believe in the moon-landing. Plus they have a heated debate on what’s best to feed their children. Bobby lost his Dad when he was 10 and Katherine’s worried he’s suppressing this childhood trauma which may reflect in his biological age.

Dr Nichola Conlon stresses the importance of recovery time and takes a deeper look at his diet and drinking habits. Bobby and Katherine recorded this before the arrival of their new little girl.
