Age Better with Liz Earle · Testosterone explained: what it does for women in midlife · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

Nicotine can increase your heart rate, your blood pressure, it can make you feel nauseous, it can cause dizziness, insomnia. podcast-host

And I think in an older person particularly, dizziness could increase the risk of a fall. podcast-host

So and maybe have blood pressure issues. podcast-host

So, you know, again, really bear that in mind because of the age and stage of of your mum. podcast-host

My answer overall, nicotine patches, yep, definitely scientifically interesting. podcast-host

There is some emerging evidence to support that. podcast-host

They're not currently a proven long COVID treatment. podcast-host

Maybe if her GP could monitor a trial, you know, assess her heart health, check her blood pressure, check against any existing medication and you know, the appropriate product that she's thinking of using and her dose. podcast-host

I would also ask her doctor to check that you've screened out other potentially treatable contributors to fatigue and brain fog, so anemia. podcast-host

thyroid problems, vitamin B twelve levels, folate deficiency, medication side effects. podcast-host

And I managed through discussions with their prescribing pharmacist and with their GP to get many of them either removed completely or dialed down in dose. podcast-host

So again, that was after I spoke personally several times to the GP and it was all monitored. podcast-host

And interestingly this has significantly helped with their fatigue and with no podcast-host

Adverse effects because they were also concerned that they might be suffering from what we're calling long COVID. podcast-host

So I think you know, really addressing that first might be a really helpful step. podcast-host

Another option, just to throw into the mix here, is something called augmented NAC. podcast-host

So ordinary NAC, which stands for N-acetylcysteine NAC, podcast-host
