We’re seeing a shift.
Women in mid life are rewriting beauty. Enough of narrow ideals. We choose real, confident & true. Short hair, unfiltered selfies, grey hair, natural lines. Authenticity over perfection😀

Is vitamin D our closest anti ageing helper

Latest research links higher vitamin D status with fewer epigenetic ageing markers & greater expression of protective genes in humans and animals. Not a cure, but worth checking your 25 OH D is in range

Vitamin D3 and marine ω-3 fatty acids supplementation and leukocyte telomere length: 4-year findings from the VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL) randomized controlled trial - PubMed

4-years of supplementation with 2000 IU/day vitamin D<sub>3</sub> reduced telomere attrition by 140 bp, suggesting that vitamin D<sub>3</sub> daily supplementation with or without n-3 FAs might have a role in counteracting telomere erosion or cell senescence.

💗 You don’t have to carry it all. A racing mind over what you can’t control drains you. Breathe, let go, focus on what you can do. Rest is not weakness. Sometimes the strongest move is to slow down 🌿

Finally, a positive step for women’s health 💗
The NHS will include menopause questions in Health Checks for women 40–74. Long overdue.

Delighted to be featured in The Telegraph 💗 Skipping breakfast may raise stress hormones, blood sugar and inflammation. Intermittent fasting can help some, but for many women 40 plus in menopause it can backfire. Do what’s right for your body.

Connection matters for health. I try to say hello to a stranger and smile. It costs nothing and lifts the day. Strong social ties are linked to longer life, better heart health and brain health. One kind moment can make someone’s day. 💗

We don’t talk enough about menopause in women living with serious mental health conditions. Symptoms can feel tougher and support is often overlooked. It helps to review medication, sleep, nutrition and hormone changes together.

New research suggests the more ultra processed foods we eat, the more “inflammation” shows up in the body, which can raise heart risk. Simple swaps help. Think real food more often veg, eggs, fish, beans, nuts and less packaged stuff. Small changes add up. #RealFood
