Today on The Aging Project Podcast, we’re joined by Michelle Kenway — one of Australia’s leading pelvic floor physiotherapists, with over 1 million followers on YouTube. We talk honestly about bladder urgency, prolapse, leaking, constipation, pelvic floor strength and why so many women silently stop exercising after 50.

If you’re always looking for the toilet, crossing your legs when you sneeze, or avoiding exercise because you’re scared of leaking or making things worse — this episode is for you.

Michelle explains that your pelvic floor is a group of muscles — just like your biceps, glutes or core — and they need support, strength and proper training too. We also talk about the impact of declining estrogen after menopause, and how it can affect the tissues, muscles and support structures around the bladder, vagina and pelvic floor.

Inside this practical and empowering conversation, we unpack:

• How often you should actually be going to the toilet each day

• Why going “just in case” can make urgency worse

• How the loss of estrogen can impact bladder urgency, vaginal tissues and pelvic floor support • What prolapse actually is — in plain English

• How to do pelvic floor exercises properly

• The “moo to poo” technique for constipation and straining

• Safe strength training and movement for women 50+

• Why leaking, urgency and prolapse are common — but not something you simply have to put up with

If you’ve ever planned your day around toilets, stopped exercising out of fear, or felt like your body can’t be trusted anymore — this episode could genuinely change the way you think about your pelvic health. Listen now.

What if the problem isn’t your willpower… but your biology?

In this powerful episode of The Aging Project Podcast, we sit down with Dr Chris Lekich to unpack one of the most misunderstood conditions impacting women today: lipoedema.

For the women who:

lose weight everywhere except their legs

feel pain, heaviness or tenderness in their thighs

bruise easily

have been told to “just eat less and move more”

feel like their body is working against them…

This episode may change everything.

We discuss:
• What lipoedema actually is
• Why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed
• The connection with hormones and menopause
• How it differs from obesity and lymphoedema
• Why dieting often doesn’t “fix” it
• The emotional toll of being blamed for your body
• What genuinely helps support women living with lipoedema

Most importantly, this episode is about reassurance.

Because sometimes weight isn’t the problem.
And sometimes women have been blaming themselves for something they never fully understood.

This isn’t a failure of willpower.
This is biology.

We’re popping in with something a little different (and something we’re very excited about): a behind-the-scenes look at The Fitgenes Program.

Today we're sharing The Fitgenes LIVE Workshop Replay.  This is a conversation between Sam Shay, the global trainer at Fitgenes and Amanda Attwood, the co-founder of The Aging Project, who manages The Fitgenes Program and 120 Club.

Our growing community loved this LIVE conversation so despite the imperfect audio, we wanted to re-share it here.

Today you'll meet Dr Carli Axford, founder of the Spinal Flow Technique, about a new way of looking at back pain, spinal tension, stress, and the nervous system.

We know around 4 million Australians live with back problems, and as we age, back pain can affect far more than movement. It can impact sleep, mood, confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.

Dr Carli explains what Spinal Flow is, how it differs from traditional chiropractic or physiotherapy, and why more women in midlife are exploring nervous-system-based approaches to pain, tension, and healing.

In this episode, we cover:

This conversation is a reminder that the body is deeply connected — and that pain is not always just about tissue damage. Sometimes, the body isn’t broken. It’s overloaded.

Please share this episode with those who need to hear it.

If we want to live 120 healthy years we must make better choices for our spine.

In this must listen episode, we sit down with Australia's leading liver expert Professor Jacob George to talk about one of the body’s most important — and most overlooked — organs: the liver.

This miracle organ keeps us alive. It filters, processes, stores, regulates, and protects us, yet most of us know very little about it until something goes wrong.

Today that changes. 

We discuss the basics of the liver along with why fatty liver is now so common, how it links to insulin resistance, visceral fat, menopause, and metabolic disease, and why liver disease can develop silently for years.

Professor George explains why liver health matters far beyond alcohol, and how it connects to blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, inflammation, and long-term disease risk.

The good news? The liver can recover if we get in early.

We also cover the key tests to know, what can be missed, and the simple lifestyle changes that can help restore liver health and change your future trajectory.

Please share this episode with those who need to hear it.

If we want to live 120 healthy years we must make better choices for the liver.

Guest Note

Professor Jacob George is a clinician investigator and Robert W. Storr Chair of Hepatic Medicine, University of Sydney (2007-) and Head, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Westmead Hospital (2006-). He has a proven record of delivering high impact research and teaching outcomes as well as demonstrating leadership at both national and international levels. His work spans basic and translational research on pre-cancerous liver diseases (fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis) and liver cancer.

This episode is such an important listen.

We’re joined by Professor Katherine Samaras — an Australian endocrinologist, medical researcher, and one of the country’s leading experts in metabolic health, obesity, diabetes, ageing, and body fat distribution.

She’s spent years helping people understand that the waistline is not just about appearance — it can be one of the clearest early signs of what’s happening with our long-term health.

In this episode, Katherine explains:

If you’ve ever felt like your body changed and no one properly explained why, this episode will help connect the dots. It’s honest, eye-opening, and full of the kind of information every woman deserves to know.

And most of all, it reminds us that ageing well won’t happen by accident. It will happen when we start paying attention, asking better questions, and doing it together.

Today, we’re introducing The Aging Project 2.0. 

A new chapter. A new season. A new era for us. 

Because while 1.5 million downloads is amazing, that has never been our real goal.

Our goal has always been impact.

And one number keeps driving everything we do: 11.7 years.
That’s the average number of years Australian women spend in poor health.

That is unacceptable.

So this next chapter is about making sure that doesn’t happen.
Not on our watch.

We’re moving from information to action.
From inspiration to implementation.

And that’s why we’ve created The Aging Project Method™ — a new playbook to help women understand their bodies, track what matters, and take action earlier.

Welcome to The Aging Project 2.0.

Today’s episode is about something powerful — and often misunderstood.

Your genetics.

Not as a prediction of your future…
But as the playing field you’re working in.

Because the truth is this:
Many of us spend years guessing when it comes to our health. 
Trying different diets. Different supplements. Different routines.
Hoping something works. Something helps. 

But what if you could understand how your body is wired from the start?

Today we’re joined by Dr Sam Shay — a functional medicine expert, speaker, and self-described “friendly lab nerd.”

His work is deeply personal.

After struggling for years with chronic fatigue, insomnia, digestive issues, sugar addiction and anxiety that began in childhood, Sam turned his own healing journey into a lifelong mission.

Today, with more than 25 years of experience in nutrition science, mind-body medicine and genetic analysis, he helps people build health strategies based on something far more powerful than guesswork:

their unique biology.

Dr Sam is also the lead trainer for Fitgenes based the United States, helping practitioners around the world understand how to translate DNA insights into real-life health strategies.

For many Australians genetics is still a new idea.

But as you’ll hear today, understanding your DNA doesn’t limit you.

It does something much more useful.

It helps you understand:

• your genetic boundaries
• your genetic strengths
• and the playing field your body is working within

So you can stop chasing every new health trend…

…and start focusing on the things that actually matter for you. And your body. 

This conversation will help you see genetics differently.

Not as destiny.

But as information you can use to make better choices for your body, your energy, and your future health.

Let’s dive in.

Blood pressure is one of the most important numbers for your future health — yet most people rarely check it. 

In this episode, we sit down with leading preventative cardiologist Dr. Ross Walker to unpack what blood pressure really means, why it often rises after 40, and how it quietly affects your heart, brain, and longevity.

We explore the “Heart Dashboard” — four powerful markers that reveal how your cardiovascular system is really functioning:
blood pressure, heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and VO₂ max.

You’ll learn how stress, sleep, visceral belly fat, coffee, alcohol, and the nervous system all influence blood pressure — and the practical steps that can help bring it back into a healthy range.

Because blood pressure isn’t just about the heart.

It’s a signal about how your body, brain, metabolism, and nervous system are coping with life.

If you want to understand the numbers that shape how you age, this episode is a must-listen.
