Anti-ageing tip 5: Calm your nervous system and connect.

Chronic stress, worry and loneliness may quietly increase inflammation and drain resilience.

Safe connection and calm moments do the opposite.

You can begin gently. Choose one:

🌬️🧘‍♀️⬇️ Take 5 slow breaths, breathing in for 4 and out for 6, and notice your shoulders drop

🌿🌤️🚶‍♀️Step outside, feel the air on your face and look at something natural, even a tree or a patch of sky

💬🤝🍽️ Send a kind message to a friend, or arrange a simple walk or shared meal

📝✨💛 Write down three small things you are grateful for today

These tiny practices may not look dramatic, but they help your body feel safer. A safer body often sleeps better, digests better and moves more.

Anti-ageing Tip 4 - Feed your future microbiome

Food can either speed up ageing or help protect brain, bone, heart and hormones.

Eat as many different plant foods as you can each day, packed with fibre and anti-inflammatory messenger molecules.

Think - seeds, nuts, root veg, leafy veg, spices, herbs, fruit, legumes - they all count.

You could:

Open your fridge or cupboard and count how many different plant foods you ate this week

🥦🥕🌽🌶️🥒 Add one extra plant to your next meal, for example a handful of spinach, frozen peas, chickpeas, berries or seeds

🌱🥬🫛🫐🌻 Swap a white carb for a whole grain version at your next shop.

🍞➡️🌾 Add a spoon of sauerkraut, kimchi or live yoghurt as a side

🌿🌱🍇🥑🥕✨ Aim over time for 30 to 50 different plant foods a week.

Your gut microbes respond to variety and fibre, not perfection.

Anti-ageing Tip 3: "Move like your future depends on it."

Exercise is often described as the closest thing we have to a longevity pill.

You do not need a hardcore gym routine to begin. You only need a clear intention. What's yours?

Today, try one of these 5 minute moves:

🪑⬆️⬇️ Do sit to stands from a chair for 60 seconds at a time. If that's too easy, do one leg at a time.

🦶⚖️ Practice balance, for example standing on one leg near a wall or chair. If that's too easy, try with your eyes closed.

💪 Do wall push ups. If that's too easy, to x10 push ups on your knees.

🏃‍♀️⬆️Climb the stairs a few extra times with purpose, or do x2 stairs at a time.

Anti-ageing Tip 2 - Protect your sleep

Deep, regular sleep is one of the most powerful anti ageing tools you have. Better than any cream, more powerful than any supplement.

When sleep is short or broken, hunger increases, cravings rise, blood pressure goes up and motivation drops. It becomes harder to eat well or move your body.

Do this tonight:

😴Choose a gentle “no food after” time, ideally 2 to 3 hours before bed

⏰Set a simple alarm on your phone for a nightly wind down, for example 60 minutes before sleep

💤In that last hour, dim the lights, put your phone away, read, stretch or listen to something soothing

⏰Aim for roughly the same bed and wake time every day

Oral Health

Your mouth is the front door to your heart, your brain and your gut.

Bleeding gums, bad breath or avoiding the dentist often signal deeper inflammation.

Over time, that may link with higher risk of heart disease, stroke and even cognitive decline.

Do this tonight:
Floss your teeth slowly and mindfully
Brush well, including along the gum line
Check your gums in the mirror, notice any redness or bleeding? (sorry if the image is too graphic)

If it has been more than 6 months since you saw a dentist or hygienist, book an appointment.

Question for you? Are you going to include these suggestions into your daily longevity habit?

You may have heard some, less positive things about creatine... such as it causes bloating, or it stresses the kidneys, or it's only for gym-goers who want to build big muscles.

Here’s what the research actually shows:

❌ It doesn’t cause bloating recommended doses

❌ It doesn’t harm healthy kidneys. (Do check with your GP if you have lowered kidney function).

❌ It’s not just for athletes.

✔ It’s one of the most researched nutrients for healthy ageing.

If you want a science-backed, easy-to-understand summary, you’ll find it in the comments below.

Creatine has been studied for years, and the research is especially interesting for women in midlife and beyond.

It can support:

💛 Muscle strength and balance
💛 Bone health
💛 Brain energy and clarity
💛 Metabolic function
💛 Mood and emotional resilience
💛 Even sleep quality

Not hype — just solid physiology explained simply.

Why Creatine Matters in Midlife

Many women notice changes in strength, stamina, and mental clarity after menopause. It’s a normal part of this stage of life.

Creatine isn’t a cure-all, but it is one of the best-studied nutrients that can support energy, muscle, brain function, and metabolism as your body adapts.

If you’d like a clear, practical explanation of what it does (and doesn’t do), I’ve laid it all out in my latest blog.

Sleep trackers can be helpful.

I tend to look at my aura ring data only on days when I have either had a bad nights sleep or a really good nights sleep. I don't look at it every day.

Devices estimate sleep based on movement, heart rate, and temperature. They can give you insight, but don’t obsess over the numbers, such that it causes you anxiety.

In my Sleep Soundly course, you’ll learn the best way to track your sleep. You’ll learn what to look for, how to interpret your body’s signals, and when to make adjustments.

You’ll learn what temporarily works, and what really works.

B vitamins are the key players in your cell’s energy factories, turning carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into the energy that keeps you thinking clearly and moving steadily.

But you need to know that B vitamins are water-soluble, which means your body doesn’t store them for long. You need a steady supply - ideally from whole foods every single day.

This is where habit makes all the difference.

When your breakfast includes eggs or oats, or your lunch features beans, greens, or whole grains, you’re feeding those energy pathways that help you feel alert and focused.

Choose one meal today full of folate, B9 to help your cells make energy better - for your brain cells, your blood cells and DNA repair.

Hormones, those tiny chemical messengers with massive impact.

Hormonal shifts can certainly disrupt your sleep.

In my Sleep Soundly course, you’ll learn about different hormones that affect sleep and we’ll explore how hormonal balance is key to restorative sleep and long-term wellbeing.

You’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, reduce cortisol naturally, and create a rhythm that supports healing from the inside out.
