DISCOVERING THE POWER OF YOUR NIGHT SELF

January 26, 2024 4 Comments

My last few weeks have been spent in a deluge of podcasts, radio appearances and interviews, following the UK launch of Sleepless: Discovering the Power of the Night Self, my new book (and – excuse the brag – The Times Book of the Week!!). Interestingly, almost every interviewer has approached the subject through their own…

HRV, the power of NO and mouth taping to help us age well

January 19, 2024 19 Comments

It’s a truism, health-wise, that we can’t change what we don’t track. So keeping on top of our stats is an important part of the Age-Well journey for Annabel and I. I keep an ongoing record of routine tests like cholesterol levels, blood pressure readings, blood glucose and Vitamin D levels. In addition, I have…

Simple steps for longevity, Christmas recipes and 2024

December 22, 2023 2 Comments

Annabel and I both enjoyed Dr Rangan Chatterjee’s recent podcast with Professor Rose Anne Kenny who is, among other roles, Chair of Medical Gerontology at Trinity College Dublin.

SLEEP LESS, SLEEP BETTER?

December 8, 2023 8 Comments

The other evening, Susan and I were lamenting our threadbare sleep. Whenever I’m out with a friend, we discuss our sleep. Yesterday I spent the day walking with a friend who had just mailed some sort of antihistamine crossed with an opioid (only available in the US apparently) to a desperately sleepless friend. Actually, my…

BRAINS AND BONES: HOW THEY CAN BOTH AGE WELL

November 25, 2023 6 Comments

There’s a fascinating correlation between brain health and bone health. In theory they don’t have much in common, do they? But research published earlier this year revealed low bone mineral density is linked to higher dementia risk later in life. Of course, this doesn’t mean one causes the other: correlation, as we always say, is…

How ‘liquid gold’ helps reduce dementia risk

November 3, 2023 11 Comments

In recent days news broke that dementia rates in England and Wales are expected to double by 2040. That’s a shocking increase in a short time, isn’t it? It seems that researchers had under-estimated the numbers due to a fall in dementia cases between 2002 and 2008. But between 2008 and 2016 there’s been an…

WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT KYNURENINE AND PF4 AND AN AUTUMN GIVEAWAY

October 6, 2023 10 Comments

The body is a complicated thing. Even the most knowledgeable scientists are still frequently baffled by its curious and complex workings.  Hence, we still have no cures for autoimmune disease, cancer, dementia etc etc And despite the billions being pumped into potential longevity medications, there is still nothing as effective as movement for our brains…

There’s lots to catch you up on in the world of Alzheimer’s research and dementia risk reduction. This is always my particular field of interest – so without further ado…… Many people have asked…
