Show Notes
Somewhere in your late 30s and 40s, everything you used to do stops working. The energy drains, the middle thickens, the sleep gets lighter, and your sharpness goes fuzzy. Here is what almost no one tells you: this is not you failing at willpower. Most of the longevity advice you have been handed was built on male data and biohacker experiments, and it was never designed for a woman in midlife.
In this longevity masterclass, I bring together four of the most respected voices in health and longevity, Dr Stacy Sims, Dr Gabrielle Lyon, Liz Earle, and Professor Valter Longo, to cut through the noise on what actually moves the needle.I also share my Longevity 7, the seven simple, sustainable changes that took me from being hospitalised with double pneumonia at 38 to a biological age over 20 years younger than my actual age, with an elite VO2 max and the bone density of a 25 year old.
This is a practical, physiology first masterclass for high performing women who are done with generic wellness advice and want to build a body that stays strong, sharp, and energised for decades.

Can HRT actually help women in midlife build muscle and reduce visceral fat — or is lifestyle still doing most of the heavy lifting?
