Katherine Ryan Shocks With Biological Age of 77 After Cancer Diagnosis

BBG News

Katherine Ryan has been seen for the first time since learning her shock biological age. 

41-year-old comedian shared that she felt as if she were about to perish when informed her biological age was 77 during a chat on the What’s My Age Again? podcast.

On a pleasant day in north London, Katherine, who shared in March that she is facing melanoma for the second time, spent some quality time with her husband Bobby Kootstra, despite the ongoing stream of concerning health updates.

For the excursion, she wore a casual outfit consisting of a flowery dress matched with a roomy cardigan in shades of pink and khaki.

Bobby also kept things low-key in a white jumper and backwards baseball cap. 

Recently, Katherine had a conversation with Dr Chris Wincup and the aging-focused podcast expert, Dr Nicola Conlan, during which she discovered her glycolic age.

A glycolic age refers to a procedure where individuals undergo a blood test to find out their biological age, which is then compared to their actual or chronological age.

In the course of our conversation, it came to light that Katherine, who had previously battled cancer not once but twice, disclosed an earlier misdiagnosis. Before receiving her lupus diagnosis, she was mistakenly identified as having various other health issues, such as leprosy.

It turned out that what appeared to be ringworm on her face was actually Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE), which she had been mistakenly diagnosed with.

Discoid Lupus Erythematosus is a type of lupus that primarily impacts the skin, often manifesting as sores, commonly found on a person’s face or scalp.

Katherine shared on the podcast that she was initially misdiagnosed with a facial ringworm, but it turned out to be a discoid rash instead. At first, she even suspected she might have leprosy.

‘Well, I wasn’t diagnosed with leprosy. It was just, like, suggested to me by a guy on a bench.

‘Nicola, am I gonna die? Is there anything positive from the data that you collected?’

‘On the bright side, as I often emphasize, it’s a condition that’s reversible. Having knowledge about it empowers you to take action.’

Katherine responded: “Unfortunately, it can’t be undone. I have a persistent health condition that doesn’t allow me to participate in yoga with you and your fellow northern companions.

‘I appreciate you always try to give some actionable advice, but I just, I lean into being 77. 

To be truthful, I had expected it to be more mature, given the time frame prior to the examination – a few weeks and months.

‘Yeah. Okay, so I’ve been doing well. I did well in my questionnaire. 

Previously, we’ve dealt with some individuals who were around 20 years old and struggling with substance abuse issues. Unfortunately, it seems that I must now direct my final queries towards myself.

‘Thank you both so much for being here, I do have some medical mistrust.

Which prompted Chris Wincup to say: ‘That’s why I’m on this side. Right.’

Katherine responded: No, not in that way, but I must say, Doctor Chris, I truly admire you. Your commitment to aiding individuals such as myself, and understanding the struggles stemming from past traumas, especially when they’re often dismissed as mental, is remarkable.

Completely puzzling, the reason for your prescription of an anti-malarial drug remains unclear. It’s a concern that this medication could potentially lead to vision loss. However, our understanding is still limited in this regard.

Additionally, Katherine disclosed that she doesn’t engage in physical workouts and explained her rationale behind avoiding gyms.

She confided that standing near the “Lycra dads” on Sundays would leave her feeling both sad and foolish.

I’d react immediately with hostility, just as you understand. I prefer not to associate with such a group.
