We’re told to eat less sugar. But how easy does our food supply make that?

A study of 25,323 Australian packaged foods and drinks estimated that 56.8% contained added sugars.

That doesn’t mean those products were 56.8% sugar, or that every food containing added sugar is unhealthy. But it does show how widespread its use is. (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov⁠)

Sugar has a role in flavour, texture and preservation. Still, I think it’s fair to ask: could manufacturers use less, and could labels make it easier to see how much has been added?

As a nutritionist, I want people to feel confident choosing food. I’d also like those choices to be easier.

We can take responsibility for what we eat and ask more of the companies making it.

What do you think would help most: clearer labels, less added sugar, or both?

My top 10 longevity essentials

The more I learn about longevity, the more I appreciate that healthy ageing isn’t just about blood tests, biomarkers, supplements or the latest research.

It’s also about the simple things that make life worth living.

Laughter will always top my list. The kind where you can’t catch your breath and your stomach hurts afterwards.

Good friendships, fresh food, clean water, time outdoors, a good night’s sleep and the beauty of four seasons.

And raspberries. I absolutely love raspberries! 😂

Of course, there’s a science to ageing well, and I love exploring it.

But I never want to lose sight of the joy of actually living.

Because longevity isn’t just about adding years to life. It’s about adding life to those years.

What’s your number one longevity essential?

I’ve been thinking about the phrase “ageing well” and how easily it can become tied to looking unchanged.

Beauty standards and the images around us keep shifting. Our choices are personal too. Some people enjoy skincare or treatments; others don’t, and neither needs explaining.

For me, ageing well means caring for my health and appearance in ways that feel right for me, while making room for change.

What does ageing well mean to you?

I’ve been asking myself what I want my future self to be able to do, feel and enjoy.

Longevity isn’t only about adding years. It’s about supporting the strength, energy, metabolic and cognitive health that help us stay connected to the life we value.

These questions are a place to begin. Take a moment with them, then ask yourself: what is one small thing I could start doing now for the future I want?

Which question made you pause? Tell me below, or save this to come back to.

I read something this week that sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole.

Women who are able to conceive and have children naturally later in life seem, in some studies, to show signs of slower biological ageing. One study found that women who had their last child after 33 had around twice the odds of exceptional longevity compared with women whose last child was by 29. Another found that later maternal age at last birth was associated with longer telomeres. That doesn’t mean having a baby later makes you live longer. It may simply be that reproductive ageing is giving us an early clue about how the rest of the body is ageing too. That really got me thinking.

How early can we tell if someone is ageing slowly?

Probably much earlier than we think.

In our 30s it might show up in fertility, hormones, blood pressure or glucose regulation. In our 40s, perhaps recovery, body composition, sleep and insulin sensitivity. Later, things like muscle strength, fitness, bone density, balance and cognition start to tell us much more.

We focus so much on the face when we talk about ageing.

But the clues may be showing up inside the body decades before the wrinkles do.

And that, to me, is where ageing gets really interesting.

For me, genetics was never really about doing a test and being handed a list of genes. I wanted to understand why my body had behaved the way it had for so many years.

I’ve had Graves’ disease. I have Gilbert’s syndrome. I’ve reacted badly to foods, supplements and hormones that other people seem to tolerate without a second thought. And there have been so many times when I’ve wondered, why does my body do that?

That question is probably what drew me to genetics in the first place.

When I started looking at my own results, little pieces of my health history began to make more sense. Not everything, and certainly not in a neat, perfectly packaged way. Genetics isn’t a crystal ball, and I don’t believe we should live our lives according to a DNA report. But it can give you clues. It can help explain why one person responds one way and another person responds completely differently.

For me, that was the value of it. It made me look at my health with more curiosity and less frustration. It gave me another layer of information to work with, and it made me realise just how individual we really are.

I’m still learning all the time, but I think that is what keeps me so interested in this area.

The more I understand about my own biology, the better decisions I can make for my future health.

Knowledge really is key.

HRT can be a valuable option for many women. I’d love to be able to take it myself.

But not every woman can.

Some women can’t use HRT for medical reasons. Some don’t tolerate it well. Others simply decide it isn’t right for them.

And when you’re not taking HRT, it can sometimes feel as though you’re missing out on the one thing everyone is talking about.

You’re not.

There is still so much we can do to support health through midlife and beyond - bone, muscle, metabolic health, cardiovascular health, brain health, sleep and overall resilience.

This is where individualised care matters.

Know your body. Understand your risk factors. Use testing where it genuinely adds value. Then build a strategy around what you need.

HRT is one tool.
Your health strategy is much bigger.

There should be room in the menopause conversation for women who don’t use HRT too.
