Aging. Everyone’s doing it, right? And it’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative. So why is it so often portrayed as something for women to fear and fight, rather than embrace and celebrate? The Aging Project is proud to present this trail-blazing podcast series that flips the bird to the notion that women in their forties and above should be either slowly fading into the background, or in a constant battle to look younger. We want to show you how we can all choose to age fabulously and without apology, and to own our age with pride - with great health, style and vitality. Hosted by Shelley Craft, the first season of The Aging Project podcast features candid, no-holds-barred interviews with twelve of the world’s leading and most inspiring minds in the field of aging well. Join Shelley as she discovers how everything from nutrition to meditation, style to gut health (and lots more!), can not only positively impact our journey into middle-life and beyond, but help make it the best time of our lives. We’re all in this together, ladies - let’s learn how to do it WELL.

We’re diving into the Government’s landmark $574.3 million investment into menopause and reproductive health, the largest of its kind globally.</p> <p class="">Our guest, Senator Marielle Smith, joins us to unpack how this historic announcement came to be, what it means for women today, and how it sets the stage for a future where women’s pain is no longer dismissed or misunderstood.</p> <p class="">We explore the decades of advocacy that led to this moment, the gaps this funding aims to close, and the real impact it will have—from lower medication costs and better GP training to national awareness campaigns and expanded specialist clinics. Senator Smith also shares deeply personal stories from the Senate inquiries that helped spark this unprecedented change.</p> <p class="">This is more than a budget line—this is the beginning of a new era in women’s health.

<h3 class="">Are you a gut health dabbler? You’re not alone. Many of us read books, listen to podcasts, and try the occasional supplement—but never fully commit to making real, lasting changes.</h3> <p class="">But here’s the truth: <strong>gut health isn’t something you can afford to dabble in.</strong> It’s the foundation of everything—your mood, energy, immunity, digestion, and even long-term disease prevention.</p> <p class="">In this episode of The Aging Project Podcast, <strong>Clinical Nutritionist Lynsey Koch</strong> joins Shelley Craft to help us stop dabbling for good. She breaks down why gut health is <strong>the missing piece in longevity</strong>, the biggest mistakes we’re making, and how to build gut-friendly habits that actually work.</p> <h3 class=""><strong>Why We Ignore Gut Health (And Why That Needs to Change)</strong></h3> <p class="">We see our dentist for our teeth. We visit dermatologists for our skin. But when it comes to our gut—the control centre of our health—who’s keeping us accountable? Many of us only start caring about gut health when something goes wrong. Lynsey explains why we need to shift our thinking and start treating gut health as a <strong>daily practice, not a last resort.</strong></p> <h3 class=""><strong>How Your Gut Affects More Than Just Digestion</strong></h3> <p class="">Did you know that <strong>90% of serotonin (your feel-good hormone) is made in the gut</strong>? Or that <strong>a diverse gut microbiome is linked to longer, healthier lives</strong>? Poor gut health is now connected to <strong>anxiety, depression, weight struggles, inflammation, and even autoimmune diseases.</strong> If you’re feeling sluggish, bloated, moody, or dealing with skin issues—your gut could be the culprit.</p> <h3 class=""><strong>The Biggest Gut Health Mistakes (Are You Making These?)</strong></h3> <p class="">Many of us think we’re taking care of our gut, but we’re making key mistakes, including:<br> 🚫 <strong>Relying on quick fixes</strong> – Probiotics aren’t magic pills!<br> 🚫 <strong>Ignoring stress & sleep</strong> – Gut health isn’t just about food.<br> 🚫 <strong>Overloading on “gut superfoods”</strong> – Without fixing the basics first.<br> 🚫 <strong>Not eating enough fibre</strong> – Prebiotics (from fibre) are your gut’s real best friend.<br> 🚫 <strong>Giving up too soon</strong> – Gut healing takes time, not just a week of effort!</p> <h3 class=""><strong>Testing Your Gut – Should You Do It?</strong></h3> <p class="">If you’re struggling with gut issues, should you consider <strong>microbiome testing</strong>? Lynsey breaks down different testing options, from <strong>leaky gut panels</strong> to <strong>food sensitivity tests</strong>, explaining when they’re worth the investment.</p> <h3 class=""><strong>The Gut Health Game-Changer</strong></h3> <p class="">Lynsey shares real-world success stories from her clinic—proving that <strong>healing your gut can change everything.</strong></p> <p class="">🚨 <strong>If you’re tired of guessing and want real, science-backed strategies, this episode is for you!</strong></p> <p class="">🎧 <strong>Listen now and start taking your gut health seriously.</strong></p> <h1><strong>👉 <a title="👉 Join our FREE DNA webinar to learn more—register now at The Aging Project!
