26 - How hormones and lifestyle shape healthy ageing

Across the world, populations are living longer but often with a decade or more of poor health at the end of life. For women in particular, the gap between lifespan and healthspan is significant and the consequences reach far beyond the individual. 

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Dr Tash Mirando, a UK-trained GP now based in Singapore, to discuss what healthy ageing really looks like. They examine the science of ageing, whether it should be considered a disease and the critical role hormones play in preventing conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.

Dr Mirando explains why lifestyle medicine must form the foundation and how modern hormone therapies can build on that base. This is a conversation about prevention, evidence-based care and practical strategies to improve quality of life for decades to come.
