There’s just six months to go until the tax net widens when, in April 2027, unspent pensions will count towards the value of your estate for inheritance tax (IHT) purposes.
In this episode, Which? tax expert Ruby Flanagan explains how money inside of unspent pensions will form part of estate and how you can work out if you’ll be leaving an IHT bill for your loved ones.
We’re also joined by Lisa Picardo, chief business officer at PensionBee, who tells us why the government is making this change and what you can do to reduce the value of your estate, which will in turn reduce the size of any IHT bill you leave behind.

Midlife brings an incredible amount of wisdom but it can also feel like your body is going through major shifts. Unexplained weight shifts, changes to your skin, brain fog and disrupted sleep - sound familiar? And for far too long the advice has been, "eat a little less, exercise a bit more and just push through".
We think it’s time for a better conversation that’s impartial to help us separate myths from genuine science.
In this episode you’ll learn how much salt you need per day, the ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) that shouldn’t be demonised and what you can do to have a better relationship with food as you age.
This episode features:
Shefalee Loth, Principal Researcher and Nutritionist at Which?, she leads the research for the health and wellbeing team. With over 20 years of experience, Shefalee’s extensive career includes working with the NHS, The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and the World Cancer Research Fund.
We also have Laura Clark, widely known as The Menopause Dietitian. She’s a registered dietitian with over two decades of clinical experience. She has supported thousands of patients, combining nutritional science with behavioural therapy and intuitive eating counselling.
The menopause transition happens to 50% of the population. It’s associated with an increased chance of obesity, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. So, let’s talk about one of the most important parts of health. Food.
This is The Health Reset.

You can now buy plug-in solar panels on the high street and online at a fraction of the cost of traditional rooftop systems. But are they right for your home?
In this episode of Which? Shorts, we explain how plug-in solar panels work, look at their pros and cons, and compare them with rooftop solar panels.
Plug-in solar panels are already popular on the continent, but they’re a new option for households in Great Britain after a law change made it legal to buy and install kits in this country.
But plug-in panels are very different to rooftop panels you may be familiar with. So how do they compare, how much could you save and which type is most suitable for you?
This episode is read by James and is based on an article written by Emily Seymour and Karen Lawrence, originally published in the October 2026 issue of Which? magazine.

Reaching for supplements can seem like a natural thing to do when your body requires extra nutrients, but our research reveals a wide variation in active ingredients and a lack of evidence-backed dosing.
In this episode of Which? Shorts, our chief nutritionist Shefalee Loth lifts the lid on our research to help you understand what’s actually inside the menopause supplements we tested.
We spent many hours researching more than 80 active ingredients included in a range of big-brand supplements, from everyday vitamins and minerals to niche herbal and botanical extracts.
This episode is read by Shefalee Loth and is based on an article she wrote, originally published in the September 2026 issue of Which? magazine.
