  • The Latest on Alzheimer’s: What Every Woman Must Know with Professor Ralph Martins
    For many women, memory changes during perimenopause and menopause can be unsettling. We find ourselves wondering: Is this just brain fog? Is this normal? Or could it be something more serious? In this critical episode, Shelley Craft is joined by Professor Ralph Martins, AO, one of the world’s leading Alzheimer’s researchers, to help us separate fact from fear and to understand what’s really going on in our brains as we age. Dementia is now the leading cause of death for women in Australia, yet so few are talking about it. This conversation is about breaking the silence, reducing fear, and creating a proactive plan to protect our brain health — starting today. Here's a snapshot of our conversation: 💡 Understanding the Disease Why dementia is on the rise for women — and how menopause plays a role. The difference between menopause-related memory changes and early Alzheimer’s signs Why early prevention matters and what you can do to start reducing your risk now. 🔍 The Risks, Lifestyle, and Prevention Plan 🚩 Risk Factors We Can’t Change: Age: Risk increases with age — but it’s not inevitable. Family history and genetics: How much does your genetic background really increase your risk? APOE gene: Especially the APOE4 variant, which significantly raises risk. Menopause-specific risks: The hormonal shifts that may make women more vulnerable. 🛠️ Lifestyle Risks We Can Control: Professor Martins unpacks what really matters in prevention: Sleep: Why deep, quality sleep is essential for clearing toxins from the brain. Diet: Is the Mediterranean diet still the gold standard? Which foods support brain health — and which ones should we avoid? Weight and belly fat: Visceral fat increases risk. Practical tools like waist-to-hip ratio and DEXA scans are discussed. Blood sugar: Why glucose instability and diabetes matters — and what blood tests to request. Hormone health: The role of HRT, testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone in brain protection. Gut health: The gut-brain connection and its growing importance in Alzheimer’s prevention. Alcohol: How much is too much? Should we cut it out completely? Exercise: Specific recommendations, including the power of strength training. Hydration: Why drinking enough water is a simple but powerful way to support cognitive function and prevent brain shrinkage. 🔎 Signs to Watch For: What’s Normal and What’s Not The difference between typical menopause-related forgetfulness and concerning early signs of Alzheimer’s. Early diagnosis: Why it matters, what tests to ask for, and how genetic testing, blood tests, and imaging can help. 🚀 What’s Next in Alzheimer’s Research The exciting development of a simple blood test for early detection. What’s holding this research back — and what needs to change. Insights into potential treatments and the search for a cure. Why supplements, lifestyle choices, and a personalised prevention plan matter more than ever. 💬 Key Takeaway:Alzheimer’s doesn’t have to be inevitable — and it’s never too early (or too late) to take action. 👉 Join our FREE DNA webinar to learn more about The Fitgenes Program—register now to begin your DNA Discovery. https://theagingproject.com/fitgenes-webinar/ 👉 Join our FREE DNA webinar to learn more about The Fitgenes Program—register now to begin your DNA Discovery. https://theagingproject.com/fitgenes-webinar/ 👉 Shop our favourite brain health supplements at our sister platform: www.youmusttryit.com Links: Alzheimer's Research Australia https://alzheimersresearch.org.au/research/professor-ralph-martins-ao/ Alzheimer's Network https://www.alz-net.org/ Professor Hamid Sohrabi https://alzheimersresearch.org.au/about-us/our-people/professor-hamid-sohrabi/ Professor Sharon Naismith - Sleep https://www.sydney.edu.au/science/about/our-people/academic-staff/sharon-naismith.html Maggie Beer's Recipe For Life Book https://www.maggiebeer.com.au/products/maggie-s-recipe-for-life-cookbook Got feedback or a question: email [email protected]

    Your DNA. Your Blueprint. Your Breakthrough. In this deeply insightful episode, we sit down with Sheridan Genrich — Nutritionist, Naturopath, and author of DNA-Powered Health — as she shares her powerful journey of survival, healing, and science. After experiencing a traumatic event while travelling in China, Sheridan’s body remained trapped in a prolonged state of stress. Everything changed when she discovered how to decode her DNA and regulate her nervous system. Today, she helps others do the same — blending cutting-edge genetic testing with the art of truly personalised, trauma-informed care. Together we explore the science behind DNA-powered health, the truth about being “stuck in survival mode,” and why no diet or supplement will work if your nervous system doesn’t feel safe. Sheridan also shares her signature C.A.R.E. Framework, created to help people rebuild their health from the inside out — with clarity, compassion, and heart. Whether you're feeling wired-but-tired, stuck in overwhelm, or simply want a more personalised path to wellness, this conversation could be the game-changer you've been waiting for. 💡 What You’ll Learn: *How unresolved trauma disrupts your health at a cellular level *Why your DNA holds the blueprint for personalised healing *The freeze response, survival mode, and nervous system dysregulation *Gut health, emotional sensitivity, and the brain-gut connection * How to use DNA insights to take targeted, effective action 👥 Perfect For: Women feeling chronically fatigued, anxious, or stuck.

About 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.
