Healthy ageing - what ageing is as a biological process and what we can do daily to age well.

I look at the biology of ageing and how we can adopt simple daily habits to positively affect the factors that age us.

I also talk about my Health Loop and your 'typical day’ to help lay out your unique needs for a lifestyle prescription.
