One question that comes up time and time again when I’m coaching is “how much water should I drink?”. Often followed by “but water’s so boring!” Which is true, so read on to discover my new favourite ‘tipple’. The honest answer to the first question is that we’re all different and the amount of water…
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH LIGHT? ENOUGH DARK?
Have you noticed the longer, lighter days? Isn’t it lovely? But are you spending sufficient time outdoors? Or in a sunny spot? Are you turning off Netflix/your laptop/your phone when darkness falls? If you are, bravo! If not, you might want to read on. There’s a fair bit of science here, so scroll to the…
Would you try the ‘Green’ Mediterranean Diet for better brain health?
We’ve long extolled the virtues of the Mediterranean diet as one of the most effective ways to age well. Heavily researched for decades, it’s the gold standard nutritional pattern for healthy longevity. A quick primer: the Mediterranean diet isn’t a ‘diet’ at all, but a way of eating traditional to southern Europe. It’s heavy on…
FOR A FUTURE WITHOUT FALLS… GO BAREFOOT!
As many of you know, I became obsessively immersed in the science of walking while I was researching my last book. Strolling, hiking, sauntering, marching: however you do it, walking remains the best possible exercise for longevity. Last year’s ground-breaking study in which a group of men aged 50 – 70 reversed their biological age…
WHAT’S GETTING ME THROUGH JANUARY, AND A FREE WEBINAR
How is 2022 shaping up for you so far? I’ve started the new year making a few simple tweaks to my age-well routines, based as always, on the research we’re reading. This is what’s getting me through January: EATING ALLLLLLL THE HERBS Herbs have always been part of our Age-Well Project, but I’m using more…
Age-Well lessons from 2021 we’re taking into 2022
2021 probably won’t be up there as most people’s ‘best-ever year’, will it? I think most of us are grateful to have survived, to have found the resilience and fortitude needed to get through another year tainted by Covid, and to have made the best of it. Here’s hoping that 2022 will be a much…
HOW TO KEEP YOUR HEART HEALTHY
I’m just back from a research trip to the Arctic Circle, where I was investigating living in near-darkness (hence my Northern Lights photograph), snowshoeing, and the diet of the Sami people, amongst other things. While I was away, it was the anniversary of my father’s death. He died from a sudden, unexpected heart attack, the…
THE ENDURING MAGIC OF MOVEMENT AND A GIVEAWAY
I hardly need to remind any of our readers that movement is the single most important thing you can do for your future health, surpassing every supplement, every sleep aid and almost every dietary intervention. As the days shorten and darken, exercise is sometimes the first thing to go. And yet barely a week goes…
WHEN TO FALL ASLEEP – AND FOR HOW LONG?
I’ve been thinking about sleep recently. We all know it’s important. But how important? And what else should we know? Three years ago, when I met Professor Hornberger, an expert in dementia and ageing, he was adamant that the quality of sleep mattered most – not the quantity. He explained the importance of slow-wave sleep…
LOOK AFTER YOUR BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER TO REDUCE ALZHEIMER’S RISK
We know that multiple factors – from diet to genetics – are implicated in our risk of succumbing to dementia as we age. And we know that the brain isn’t a separate entity to the rest of our bodies – how we look after one affects the other. We also know that a disease like…

![There’s a piece in @telegraph online today about Susan’s coaching programme Better Brain Framework. Journalist @msmirandamcminn watched her mother battle dementia for 10 years. Determined to reduce her own dementia risk, Miranda worked with Susan for three months.
She said, ‘I am convinced that we could all benefit from following this programme…. [it] has given me better clarity than I had at the age of 30”
