🎃 THE ZOMBIES AREN’T JUST OUTSIDE… THEY ARE INSIDE YOU! 🧟‍♀️

This Halloween, meet your body’s very own zombies: SENESCENT CELLS!

These ageing cells stop dividing but resist being cleared. They can accumulate in our tissues and release inflammatory signals that contribute to biological ageing.

👻 Meet AUTOPHAGY – your body’s internal recycling system!

During periods of fasting, nutrient-sensing pathways change, potentially stimulating autophagy – helping cells break down and recycle damaged proteins and cellular components.

⏳ 5 ways to support healthy cellular ageing can be optimised knowing your genetics:

1️⃣ Intermittent fasting – explore appropriate fasting patterns.
2️⃣ Exercise – combine strength training and aerobic activity.
3️⃣ Eat well – prioritise fibre, colourful vegetables and protein.
4️⃣ Sleep – prioritise restorative sleep.
5️⃣ Optimise metabolic health – reduce chronic inflammation and insulin resistance.

🔬 And senolytics? Scientists are investigating ways to selectively clear senescent cells, but these treatments remain experimental.

🎃 THE AGE LESS MESSAGE

We can’t stop time, but we can influence how we age. The Genomic Wellness Test can help you blueprint your lifestyle.

This Halloween, don’t just worry about the zombies at your front door. Think about your cellular health!

☀️ WHY BOOK YOUR SKIN CHECK BEFORE SUMMER?

In WA, preparing for summer should include more than sunscreen - it should include a skin check.

Increased UV exposure can cause tanning, sunspots and pigmentation changes, making it more challenging to distinguish some new or changing lesions from existing sun damage.

📸 Skin checks with Canfield IntelliStudio at The Age Less Clinic & General Practice.

Our total-body photography and mole mapping process helps create a photographic baseline of your skin:

✨ 1. Full-body photography - standardised images capture your skin’s surface across different body areas.

✨ 2. Mole mapping - images document the location and appearance of moles and other visible lesions.

✨ 3. Monitoring changes over time - at future appointments, your doctor can compare images to help identify new or changing lesions that may need closer assessment.

✨ 4. Doctor-led skin assessment - photography complements your clinical skin examination and dermoscopy; suspicious lesions may require further investigation.

Why before summer? Establishing a baseline before increased UV exposure and seasonal pigmentation changes can help support clearer comparisons at subsequent reviews.

Longevity is about being proactive with your health. Don’t wait until a spot concerns you - book your skin check before summer.

🌿 LICHEN SCLEROSUS: A WHOLE-BODY APPROACH

Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with an autoimmune association, causing vulval itching, fragility and potentially scarring.

💗 Hormones matter. Vaginal oestrogen may help selected women, including younger women, when low oestrogen contributes to dryness and tissue fragility.

💧 Hyaluronic acid supports vaginal hydration and may relieve dryness and discomfort.

🌿 At The Age Less Clinic, we stock Biolae vaginal pessaries to support vaginal hydration.

🥗 Anti-inflammatory lifestyle. Support overall health with colourful vegetables, berries, omega-3 fats, healthy oils and adequate protein. Stress, sleep and pain management.

✨ Remember: potent topical corticosteroids remain the first-line treatment for lichen sclerosus. Oestrogen and hyaluronic acid may complement care but do not replace prescribed treatment.

💙 Book an appointment at The Age Less Clinic & General Practice for personalised vulval and hormonal health care.

✨ YOUR HAIR. YOUR CHOICE. YOUR CONFIDENCE. ✨

Grey, silver, coloured or naturally dark - embrace the look that makes you feel your best. 🤍

If you choose to colour your hair, be ingredient-aware. Some hair dyes contain ingredients that can cause irritation or allergic reactions, and certain chemicals are being studied for potential endocrine-disrupting effects. “Low-tox” doesn’t automatically mean risk-free, so check ingredients, follow product instructions and consider your individual sensitivities.

🌿 Healthy ageing is about feeling good, making informed choices and caring for yourself inside and out.

One unexpected observation from using Nurogen copper peptide hair and scalp serum? Fewer visible greys!

🌱 OMEGA-3s FOR VEGANS & VEGETARIANS

Omega-3 fatty acids are important for cardiovascular health, brain function and healthy ageing. But if you follow a plant-based diet, are you getting the right types of omega-3s?

🌿 Plant-based sources include:
• Chia seeds
• Flaxseeds
• Walnuts
• H**p seeds
• Algal oil (a direct source of DHA and, depending on the product, EPA)

🌿 What about sea buckthorn?

Sea buckthorn is a plant-derived source of omega fatty acids, including omega-3, -6, -7 and -9, depending on the part of the plant used. Its seed oil is particularly interesting for those seeking plant-based omega-3s.

When choosing an oil, I look beyond the label to consider quality, purity, contaminants and extraction methods. Supercritical CO₂ extraction is an appealing option because it can reduce the need for conventional organic solvent extraction.

💙 My recommendation: Sea Buckthorn Supreme by Designs for Health.

At The Age Less Clinic & General Practice, we take a considered approach to supplementation, focusing on ingredient quality, appropriate formulation and evidence-informed choices.

🌿 Train for life. Nourish for longevity.

YOUR GUT HEALTH COULD BE A LONGEVITY BLIND SPOT. 🦠

Have you heard about Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)?

This bacterium lives in the stomach and can contribute to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and is a carcinogen. It can also contribute to unexplained iron and B12 deficiency.

💨 Why do I use a urea breath test?

Because I want to investigate a potential underlying cause, not simply manage symptoms.

The urea breath test detects active H. pylori infection by measuring the breakdown of specially labelled urea by the bacterium.

When clinically indicated, identifying and treating H. pylori can help resolve infection, promote healing of associated gastric disease and reduce the risk of serious complications.

🧬 Why does this matter for longevity?

Longevity isn’t just about muscle, metabolic health and cardiovascular risk. It’s also about identifying and treating important, sometimes overlooked infections that can affect long-term health.

At The Age Less Clinic & General Practice, I look beyond symptom suppression to investigate potential underlying causes.

Healthy longevity starts with getting the fundamentals right.
