AS FEATURED ON BBC WOMAN'S HOUR

“My hope is this book will help you to be what you’ve always imagined you could be in your 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond.

“Through the book you can accompany me on a journey of my life as wife and mother, doctor, author, businesswoman, TV presenter, journalist, granny and widow, and the lessons I’ve learned about staying fit, healthy and happy.

“My book isn’t definitive. It’s anecdotal and personal in a way none of my other books have been. I share with you the best bits of my life but don’t skate over the difficulties and how I got through them.”

If you’re looking for bottle in your older years, this book can supply it.

As she approaches her 89th birthday, Dr Miriam turns her attention to an often-overlooked section of society - the over 60s.

Dr Miriam has watched as life for so many in her generation has changed and people are able to live better for longer - something she hopes her advice will help even more people to achieve.

Sex, Drugs and Walking Sticks is a one-stop guide for living well and feeling confident in your older years and is a liberating read. It frees you from being what you “ought” to be, to being whatever you like. You’ve earned that freedom.

Dr Miriam’s approach is to get you feeling happy about as many aspects of your life as you want to, whether that be confidence in health, happiness, relationships, looks and more.

After decades on TV, as well as being a columnist and health and relationship expert for the Daily Mirror newspaper, Dr Miriam Stoppard is one of the most recognisable and trusted voices on health, wellbeing, parenting and everything in between.
