🔬 BREAKING NEWS: Could this simple combo cut your cancer risk by 61%?
Just wrapped my segment on @Channel9 discussing the groundbreaking study called the DO HEALTH Trial.
The results blew my mind!
✅ 61% Reduction in invasive cancers
✅ 39% Reduction in pre-frailty
✅ Significant decrease in bioage.
Combining just THREE simple daily habits created a powerful protective effect, these were:
✅ Supplement Vitamin D3 daily
✅ supplement Omega-3 fish oil
✅ 30 minutes of exercise 3x weekly
What`s fascinating is that each intervention alone showed modest benefits, but TOGETHER they created a synergistic effect that produced these incredible results!
This is about sustainable habits that work to strengthen cellular health and resilience. The best longevity strategies aren`t complicated, but they do require consistency.
I loved sharing this one because it`s just so simple! Start where you are, and build these three habits into your routine.

Expectation: Productive afternoon
Reality: Body says no

Tired of wasting money on gut supplements that don`t work? Let`s talk about the gut health investments that ACTUALLY make a difference!
Because we`ve all been there... There was a time that I too spent thousands on random probiotics, digestive enzymes, and gut "cleanses" without addressing the fundamentals first.
Here`s what actually moves the needle for gut health:
1. START BY FINDING A QUALIFIED & EXPERIENCED PRACTITIONER
Trying to heal your gut on your own can be an overwhelming and confusing experience. It’s too important a system to rely on google or chat GPT. Look for an integrative GP, gastroenterologist, dietician, or naturopath.
2. MICROBIOME MAPPING: Stool testing can measure four of the biggest IBS culprits:
1.Digestive enzyme dysfunction,
2.Poor mucosal function,
3.Inflammation,
4. Ratios of beneficial and pathogenic bacteria in your gut.
This gives you personalised data on which part of your digestion is struggling.
3. CORTISOL ASSESSMENT: Elevated cortisol directly contributes to gut dysbiosis by altering microbial populations and increasing intestinal permeability. The Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) saliva test provides objective measurement of your HPA-axis function and reveals if stress is sabotaging your gut.
4. THE 20 MINUTE RULE: Rushing through meals triggers your sympathetic nervous system ("fight or flight"), which physiologically inhibits digestive enzyme secretion and reduces blood flow to the GI tract. Setting a 20-minute timer for meals allows your parasympathetic nervous system to activate, optimising HCl production and enzyme activity.
5. TIME: While initial improvements in symptoms can appear within 2-3 weeks, complete restoration of gut integrity and microbiome balance requires 3-6 months of consistent habit shifts. This timeline can`t be rushed!

For me, shifting my mindset on "ageing" has changed everything... There is so much to celebrate!
Do you feel the same perspective shift I do? Are you struggling with this whole "ageing" thing?

Ever stood in the health food aisle wondering if those fancy electrolyte powders are worth the hype? 🤔
💧 NEW POD DROP! 💧
In this episode, I`m joined by clinical nutritionist @JennaleaMcInnes to cut through the marketing and get to the science behind electrolytes.
We break down:
✨Who ACTUALLY needs electrolyte supplementation
✨The surprising signs your body might be craving these essential minerals
✨How to tell if that fancy powder is worth it or if food is your better option
✨The specific electrolytes that matter most for women in perimenopause and beyond
I learned SO much from Jennalea about when these minerals truly matter (especially for us active women who sweat regularly!)
We also discuss the brands we like (hint: @sodii.hydration is one I like for its mineral quality and taste)
