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.

The URGENT health epidemic for longevity, with Lynsey Koch
During perimenopause and menopause, we face an urgent epidemic that's been normalised - even trivialised. Tune into the podcast to hear a very candid conversation with our resident Clinical Nutritionist, Lynsey Koch, to help you understand the health risks of visceral fat during perimenopause and menopause—risks that affect even 'skinny' women.
Lynsey is here to capture your attention and encourage you to view weight through the lens of health. Is it time to reframe weight as a medical issue rather than a trivial, superficial concern? Here’s some key points discussed:
Visceral vs. Subcutaneous Fat: Visceral fat surrounds internal organs and poses greater health risks than subcutaneous fat, which lies under the skin.
Glucose and Insulin: Imbalances in glucose and insulin levels are key factors in weight gain and overall metabolic health.
Impact of Menopause: Hormonal changes during menopause increase visceral fat, complicating weight management for women.
Health Risks of Visceral Fat: Excess visceral fat is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
Food Industry and Bliss Point Foods: The food industry designs "bliss point" foods to be highly palatable and addictive, contributing to overeating and obesity.
Impact of Cortisol: Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, promoting fat storage, particularly visceral fat, and hindering weight loss.
Need to Test Fasting Insulin Levels: Monitoring fasting insulin levels can indicate insulin resistance early and help tailor effective weight loss strategies.
Weight and Longevity Link: Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for longevity, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and enhancing quality of life.
Worrying Weight and Obesity Epidemic: Rising rates of overweight and obesity are leading to widespread health issues and increased healthcare costs.
Bye Bye Belly Fat 14-Day Reset: This program, designed for peri and menopausal women, offers anti-inflammatory nutrition, targeted training, and expert coaching to reduce visceral fat and improve metabolic health.

Self love, self-care: If not now, then when? with Josie Thomson
In this conversation, Shelley Craft and Josie Thomson discuss the importance of self-love and its impact on aging well. They explore the challenges of loving oneself and share personal stories of growth and transformation. They also discuss the influence of conditioning and comparison, the wake-up call of illness, and the power of choosing to live life on one's own terms. The conversation highlights the need to open a positive and honest conversation with oneself and the importance of acknowledging and processing emotions. They emphasise the practice of self-like and self-love as a way to cultivate a healthy relationship with oneself. In this conversation, Josie Thomson discusses the importance of intuition and trusting our inner voice. She explains that intuition happens in the body, while the brain can often lead us astray due to unconscious programs and the primary goal of safety. Josie emphasises the need to observe discomfort and make choices that prioritise our own safety and well-being. She also shares practical tips for incorporating self-love into everyday life, such as setting intentions and finding a happy song. Josie highlights the importance of breaking patterns and finding self-empowerment, as well as the journey of falling in love with oneself. She recommends books and shares an affirmation: 'What will be is up to me.'
Takeaways
Self-love is essential for aging well and accepting oneself
Illness can serve as a wake-up call to prioritise self-care and self-love
Conditioning and comparison can hinder self-love and authenticity
Acknowledging and processing emotions is necessary for self-discovery and healing. Intuition happens in the body, while the brain can often lead us astray.
