L-glutamine after 50: what the supplement does, and where the evidence stops
The most abundant amino acid in your body is sold for leaky gut, immune support, muscle recovery and detoxification. The trial evidence is narrower than the marketing, and the case for routine use in a healthy person eating enough protein is weak.

The MIND diet: a reasonable way to eat, not a dementia strategy
A decade of repeated brain scans found slower grey matter loss in the people who ate closest to the MIND diet. What that is worth to you, set against a null trial and against the risk factors that carry better evidence.

Semaglutide and the GLP-1 drugs: the benefits, and what they cost muscle and bone
They produce large weight loss and, in people with heart disease, fewer heart attacks and strokes. The cost falls on muscle and bone, the tissues a long-term plan is built on, and most of it comes due when you stop.

Know your risks
Body Baseline
Five home measurements become the numbers that matter more than the scales: body fat estimate, waist-to-hip ratio, daily energy needs and training zones, with a plain reading of where you stand.
Build your plan
SLOW moves
Tell it what you want to work on, where you exercise and anything to be careful of. It gives you a short list of sensible exercises with caution notes, and you build a starter mix of 3 to 6 to take to a trainer, physio or exercise physiologist.
Follow the evidence
Lifespan
We track the science of ageing well, the new studies, the podcasts and the claims around them, and give each one a plain, sceptical 'our read'. Newest first, nothing to buy.
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.
- 88%
worried about losing mental faculties
- 87%
worried about losing physical capabilities
- 75%
worried about chronic disease
