The Aging Project
Aging. Everyone’s doing it, right? And it’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative. So why is it so often portrayed as something for women to fear and fight, rather than embrace and celebrate?
The Aging Project is proud to present this trail-blazing podcast series that flips the bird to the notion that women in their forties and above should be either slowly fading into the background, or in a constant battle to look younger. We want to show you how we can all choose to age fabulously and without apology, and to own our age with pride - with great health, style and vitality.
Hosted by Shelley Craft, the first season of The Aging Project podcast features candid, no-holds-barred interviews with twelve of the world’s leading and most inspiring minds in the field of aging well.
Join Shelley as she discovers how everything from nutrition to meditation, style to gut health (and lots more!), can not only positively impact our journey into middle-life and beyond, but help make it the best time of our lives.
We’re all in this together, ladies - let’s learn how to do it WELL.

Aging well begins and ends with mobility with Dr Vonda Wright
Dr. Vonda Wright is a renowned orthopaedic surgeon, and an authority on healthy aging. She also hosts the Hot For Your Health podcast, and has written five books - including ‘Fitness After Forty’. She’s passionate about empowering people to age well through mobility, and the vital importance of maintaining bone and muscle health as we age. She believes that aging well is something we can actively choose to do when we value ourselves enough, and we’re absolutely thrilled to welcome her as our very first guest.
Join Shelley for episode #1 of The Aging Project Podcast, as she chats to Dr. Vonda about:
How keeping mobile can literally save your life
Why aging doesn’t have to be an inevitable decline into ill health and frailty
Why mindset matters for mobility as we age
Why weight doesn’t matter, but your body composition does
How staying mobile impacts your mental health
What we can learn from people living in the ‘Blue Zones’
Why sleep is so crucial for aging well
The simple things we can do daily to ensure we stay strong and mobile as we age
The connection between mobility and brain function
The impact of refined sugar on our health
The Aging Project is on a mission to discover and share the secrets to aging well, and to empower you to make great choices for your health and wellbeing in your forties and beyond.
