Somewhere in your late 30s and 40s, everything you used to do stops working. The energy drains, the middle thickens, the sleep gets lighter, and your sharpness goes fuzzy. Here is what almost no one tells you: this is not you failing at willpower. Most of the longevity advice you have been handed was built on male data and biohacker experiments, and it was never designed for a woman in midlife.

In this longevity masterclass, I bring together four of the most respected voices in health and longevity, Dr Stacy Sims, Dr Gabrielle Lyon, Liz Earle, and Professor Valter Longo, to cut through the noise on what actually moves the needle.I also share my Longevity 7, the seven simple, sustainable changes that took me from being hospitalised with double pneumonia at 38 to a biological age over 20 years younger than my actual age, with an elite VO2 max and the bone density of a 25 year old.

This is a practical, physiology first masterclass for high performing women who are done with generic wellness advice and want to build a body that stays strong, sharp, and energised for decades.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

- Why is most longevity advice wrong for women over 40?

- What are the foundations of longevity that actually matter?

- Is sleep consistency more important than sleep duration?

- How much protein do women over 40 really need?

- Can eating more protein damage your kidneys?

- What are exercise snacks and do they raise VO2 max?

- How do you build muscle and slow aging in midlife?

- Why does plant diversity matter for gut health and inflammation?

- Do omega 3s protect your brain and mood as you age?

- Does morning sunlight help your skin make collagen?

- Is sunscreen blocking your vitamin D?

- What is the fasting mimicking diet and how often should you do it?

You already know your energy crashes in midlife, but did you know it's tied to your mitochondria and estrogen? In this clip, Liz Earle breaks down the surprising at-home and outdoor habits, including a totally free one, that support cellular energy and may help calm inflammation and cortisol. If you're constantly fatigued and looking for science-backed (not gimmicky) ways to support your hormones, this one's for you.

Labs read "normal" but you're gaining midsection weight, foggy and running at 70%? Your thyroid - not just perimenopause - may be the missing variable. Dr. Amie Hornaman explains why TSH alone misses the picture, how elevated reverse T3 "pools" and blocks T3 at the cell even when free T3 looks optimal, and why roughly 98% of women don't thrive on T4-only. She links falling progesterone, rising thyroid-binding globulin, low ferritin and the "thyropause" hitting 80-90% of women over 40.

For years, I did everything I was told would help me stay lean. I trained hard, ate well, and stayed consistent but after 50, my body stopped responding the way it used to.

In this episode, I'm sharing the 7 changes that helped me get my flat stomach back at 50 and completely changed how I think about training, nutrition, recovery, and metabolism in midlife. I didn't find a magic supplement or a quick fix. Instead, I made evidence-based changes that helped me build lean muscle, improve my metabolic health, recover better, and finally achieve the body composition I was working so hard for.

If you're a woman over 40 or 50 who's training consistently but not seeing the results you want, I hope these seven changes give you a new perspective and practical strategies you can start applying today.

Longevity expert Dr Florence Comite joins me to explain why testosterone, not estrogen, drives body composition and ageing in midlife women.

Decline isn't inevitable, it's programmable.

She unpacks why low testosterone is likely behind your belly fat, brain fog and low energy from your 30s on, why only a third of us should fast, and the five biomarkers your doctor probably isn't checking fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, cholesterol risk ratio and free testosterone that predict where your health span is headed.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

- Why testosterone (which women carry in larger amounts than estrogen) starts declining in your 30s - and how its fall drives the belly fat, brain fog and low energy that leave you feeling not like yourself

- What "I don't feel like myself anymore" is actually signaling beneath the surface

- How cortisol quietly drives the anxiety-out-of-nowhere, the 2am wake-ups and the stubborn weight around your middle

- Why only a third of women should fast, and the 3-hour glucose test that tells you which third you're in

- The five biomarkers your doctor probably isn't checking, and what they reveal about your risk of diabetes, heart disease and where your health span is headed

Lowering ApoB and non-HDL cholesterol starts with improving how your body clears cholesterol. Michelle recommends reducing saturated fat, replacing it with healthy unsaturated fats, gradually increasing soluble fibre, staying well hydrated, and supporting gut health. As oestrogen declines in perimenopause, maintaining nitric oxide production and healthy blood vessels also becomes increasingly important.

Olympic medalist turned health-tech founder Andrew Steele says the problem isn't you: it's that "normal" and "optimal" are two different things. In this episode, he breaks down how DNA, microbiome, and blood testing expose what's really behind your fatigue, brain fog, and bloating. And why one test, one time, will never tell you the full story.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

-       Why small, consistent daily habits move the needle on longevity more than big lifestyle overhauls

-       How the ACTN3 gene explains why "average" training and health advice doesn't work for everyone

-       What DNA methylation is, and why taking more B vitamins can backfire if you have an MTHFR variant

-       Why "normal" bloodwork isn't the same as optimal health

-       How the PhenoAge biological age test measures how fast you're really aging

-       Why bloating and brain fog in midlife women are often linked to the estrobolome and gut bacteria

-       Why microbiome and blood testing needs to be repeated over time, not done once

-       The best way to prepare for accurate blood and microbiome test results

-       The three biomarkers Andrew recommends testing first: methylation, gut-brain axis, and ApoB

-       Why wearables alone can't give you the full picture of your health

-       How Stride is integrating oral microbiome testing and wearable data

-       Why data and dashboards alone don't change behavior without human coaching

-       What's inside Stride's ST01 liposomal multivitamin and why it's formulated around methylation

Feeling like your brain just isn't running at 100% anymore? You're not imagining it and it's not a discipline problem.

In this video, I break down the real science behind why focus, memory, and mental sharpness decline in your 40s and beyond and the exact protocol I use to get it back.

You'll learn about a critical brain molecule that starts declining with age, why women are especially affected by it, and the 4 most common mistakes that are quietly keeping your brain performance low (yes, even if you're already "doing everything right").

Then I walk you through my complete 7-step protocol - covering exercise intensity, targeted supplementation, specific foods, cognitive pacing, meditation, heat therapy, and sleep, all backed by research, all things you can start doing today.

In this video:

Why brain fog and slower thinking happen after 40

The molecule behind focus, memory, and mood, and why it drops with age

4 mistakes that are silently lowering your brain performance

At a leading longevity clinic, my nervous system testing showed 80% sympathetic dominance, yet my body composition, grip strength (30kg) and hormone panel,  cortisol, testosterone, DHEA, IGF-1, told a different story: strong muscle mass, low visceral fat and balanced anabolic markers. I break down what sympathetic dominance really means, why muscle protects you through perimenopause, and how treatments like Watsu bodywork and breathwork helped my nervous system finally downshift. (485 chars)What you’ll learn:- What my 80% sympathetic dominance score actually means and why "coping well" can still mask a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight- How my body composition and hormone panel told a completely different story than my nervous system data, and what that reveals about resilience- Why muscle mass becomes even more critical for metabolism, bone density, and cortisol regulation as estrogen declines in perimenopause- What my full hormone panel, including testosterone, DHEA, IGF-1, and morning cortisol, showed about whether my body was building or breaking down- How quickly my nervous system markers shifted once I gave it the right recovery inputs, and what changed in just 48 hours- Why grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of healthy aging, and how you can test it at home- What made Watsu bodywork the most unexpectedly profound treatment of my week, and what it revealed about the tension I'd been carrying without realizing itWant to go deeper?
