Look at this picture – what a gorgeous place to talk all things Age-Well! It was a privilege to speak at an intimate workshop at the beautiful Water Lane Farm in Gloucestershire earlier this week. The hardest thing for me when I’m speaking at events and coaching clients is explaining the science of ageing: what’s…
THREE SIMPLE BOOSTS FOR GUT HEALTH
Are you good to your gut? We do hope so. The link between gut health and longevity is key to our Age-Well Project, so we’re excited about THREE new pieces of research providing simple ways to boost both. A quick refresher: when we say ‘gut health’ we mean the variety, quality and quantity of our…
AND THE BEST TIME TO EXERCISE IS …
Anyone remember being told to eat a banana before exercising? Or only to exercise after consuming… protein … carbs … a handful of almonds … whatever…? Well, it turns out that the best time to exercise is on an empty stomach. A very empty stomach. According to research published last week, the perfect time to…
WHY WE’RE CELEBRATING MENOPAUSE
Here we are at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, signing books and having a whale of time. We love chatting to people about The Age-Well Project, answering your questions and hearing your stories. At every event we speak at, we’re asked about menopause. Either during a Q & A session or, quietly, afterwards. Our response is…
WHY WE NEED TO WALK BESIDE WATER
Three weeks ago I walked (backpacked actually, yes even at my age!) alone from Bordeaux to Toulouse. I cheated a bit and took a couple of trains, but I still clocked up between 20 and 35 kilometres every day, with a large pack on my pack. I’ll admit: I was very nervous before I left….
WHAT WE NEED NOW: COLD SHOWERS AND WARM RECIPES
We’ve had a bit of a week of it at The Age-Well Project: Annabel’s computer blew up, leaving her without thousands of precious documents, notes and creative work. I’ve been juggling a sick teenager, an injured puppy, a defunct boiler (so no hot water) a broken dishwasher. And, to cap it all, Tuesday’s storms saw…
COFFEE AND YOUR HEALTH: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
This is me, about to take – I kid you not – my first sip of coffee in 20 years. I gave up when living in California in 1999 (my body was a temple, and all that). The withdrawal symptoms were so debilitating (like a 10-day flu bug) I vowed never to go back. But…..20…

Today I’m sharing a recipe for my healthy cake of the moment. We’ve been making this a lot chez Streets because…
BUILD MUSCLE OVER 50, LIVE LONGER
How are your muscles? If yours are anything like mine, they could do with a little work. Yesterday England’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) weighed in on the state of the nation’s musculature, recommending strengthening exercises twice a week to help us age well. The guidelines advise that we build strength and improve balance to help…
IS IT TIME TO TURN YOUR PHONE OFF?
Returning from summer holidays – to work, college, or just the general hum drum of life – is, for me, always a slightly wistful time. Another summer gone, another school year finished, the chill beckon of winter with its long nights and short days. But summer’s demise is also a time of promise and possibility….
