🔍  We talk a lot about breast checks — but what about bowel screening?

In this essential episode of The Aging Project Podcast, we’re joined by Associate Professor Dan Buchanan from the University of Melbourne, a global leader in bowel cancer research, genetics, and early detection.

Bowel cancer is now the second leading cause of cancer death in Australia, with a concerning rise in cases among younger adults. But here’s the good news: it’s one of the most preventable cancers when caught early.

Dan shares the latest insights from his research, including the groundbreaking ANGELS Study, and helps us understand the role of genetics, the power of early detection, and what every woman over 40 — and under — needs to know to protect their gut health. This is an empowering conversation designed to help you move from silent worry to informed, proactive health choices.

💬 In This Episode, We Cover:

🧬 Genetics & Risk - What your DNA can (and can’t) tell you about bowel cancer

When to consider genetic testing, The ANGELS Study and International Colon Cancer Family Registry

📉 Early-Onset Bowel Cancer Why rates are rising in younger Australians What signs and symptoms to never ignore — even in your 30s or 40s Lifestyle and environmental factors at play

🩺 Prevention & Screening The national screening test that’s free and underused Why you shouldn’t wait for symptoms Colonoscopy: fear vs reality The importance of knowing your family history

👩‍⚕️ Midlife Matters Why women in perimenopause and menopause must pay attention to bowel health Why mammograms get all the airtime — and how to change that Making bowel screening part of your midlife health checklist

💡 Research, Hope & Action Dan’s top 5 prevention strategies How international collaboration is accelerating breakthroughs Why early action will always beat late diagnosis

🔑 Key Takeaways: Bowel cancer is preventable when detected early. 

Genetics does matter, but lifestyle plays a major role

Don’t wait for symptoms — screening is simple and effective

Awareness is rising — but we must do more to protect ourselves and future generations

🎧 Tune in to discover how ancient wisdom and modern science can work together to help you age with vitality and energy. 

For many women, memory changes during perimenopause and menopause can be unsettling. We find ourselves wondering: Is this just brain fog? Is this normal? Or could it be something more serious?

In this critical episode, Shelley Craft is joined by Professor Ralph Martins, AO, one of the world’s leading Alzheimer’s researchers, to help us separate fact from fear and to understand what’s really going on in our brains as we age.

Dementia is now the leading cause of death for women in Australia, yet so few are talking about it. This conversation is about breaking the silence, reducing fear, and creating a proactive plan to protect our brain health — starting today. Here's a snapshot of our conversation:

Your DNA. Your Blueprint. Your Breakthrough.

In this deeply insightful episode, we sit down with Sheridan Genrich — Nutritionist, Naturopath, and author of DNA-Powered Health — as she shares her powerful journey of survival, healing, and science. After experiencing a traumatic event while travelling in China, Sheridan’s body remained trapped in a prolonged state of stress. Everything changed when she discovered how to decode her DNA and regulate her nervous system. Today, she helps others do the same — blending cutting-edge genetic testing with the art of truly personalised, trauma-informed care.

Together we explore the science behind DNA-powered health, the truth about being “stuck in survival mode,” and why no diet or supplement will work if your nervous system doesn’t feel safe.

“Your cholesterol is high.” It’s a phrase millions hear each year—often followed by a statin prescription and little else.

But with statins now the most prescribed drugs on the planet, why is heart disease still the world’s #1 killer? And why are we not talking about the bigger picture? In this hard-hitting episode, we’re joined by Dr. Ross Walker, one of Australia’s leading voices in preventive cardiology, to challenge the mainstream narrative—and ask the questions that could save lives.

We explore: 

The truth behind cholesterol—what it is, what it isn’t, and why one number shouldn't define your risk.

Statins: miracle drug or misunderstood medicine? Who really benefits, and at what cost?

The role of genetics—including the common but underdiagnosed condition, Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). Visit the DNA Screen Project to learn more: https://dnascreen.monash.edu/ 

Why prevention struggles to compete with Big Pharma—and what needs to change.

The 30-Day Heart Health Plan every listener should hear, with Dr. Walker’s actionable advice on food, movement, stress, and testing.

This episode is not anti-medication—it’s pro-information. Because your heart health deserves more than a prescription.

🎧 Listen now to rethink what you’ve been told, and what you’ve accepted. Your life—or the life of someone you love—may depend on it.
