Norah O'Donnell Launches Wellness Podcast

Norah O'Donnell is embarking on a new chapter with the launch of her weekly podcast, "Healthful," scheduled for July 22. The 52-year-old broadcast journalist, who left the "CBS Evening News" anchor desk in January 2025, will host this new venture focused on women's health.

"Healthful" aims to demystify complex health topics, bringing in leading doctors, scientists, and innovators to discuss reproductive health, menopause, and cancer research. O'Donnell expressed a desire to guide women through the often-confusing landscape of health information.

In addition to expert interviews, the podcast will feature a segment where O'Donnell discusses her personal wellness practices. This includes her early 4:30 a.m. wake-up time, functional strength training, cardio, and diet, which typically consists of salads for lunch and an early dinner.

Since stepping down from the demanding five-year tenure as anchor, O'Donnell has continued her role as a correspondent for "60 Minutes." This shift in her career allows for a more manageable schedule as she approaches her seventh presidential election as a journalist.
