There is research.
There are tools that work.
Your age is not the limit.
SLOWageing
Evidence-based tools and protocols for women who want to stay strong, sharp and capable through their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.
The project
SLOWageing started with a question: why is so much health advice aimed at women either generic, patronising or flat-out wrong?
The project began with the book Fast Living, Slow Ageing, co-authored by Kate Marie and Professor Merlin Thomas. It grew into a research and education platform for women who want to make decisions about their health based on evidence, not marketing.
We've worked with thousands of women, run pilot programs, published research and built tools for personalised health assessment. Now we're rebooting with a tighter focus: practical, individualised protocols grounded in your biology, your constraints, your life.
What SLOW stands for
Strategic: informed choices, not hopeful guesses.
Longevity mindset: decisions that compound over decades, not days.
Ownership: your data, your agency, your outcomes.
Wise investment: directing time and effort where the evidence says it counts.
What women told us
We asked thousands of women what concerns them most about ageing. Weight came up, but it wasn't at the top. What mattered more was keeping their minds sharp, their bodies strong and their independence intact.
