Living longer is one thing, living well as you age is another. Nutrition plays a powerful role in shaping our healthspan, and small, consistent choices made daily can help reduce the risk of chronic disease, preserve cognitive function, and maintain vitality.
Two of our experienced practitioners share their best nutritional strategies and go-to supplements for supporting long-term health.
Felicity - Nutritionist
“My approach to long-term health focuses on simplicity, consistency, and personalisation. I focus on real, whole foods and strategies that are both sustainable and supportive of metabolic and hormonal health.”
– Felicity, Nutritionist
Felicity’s core nutrition strategies
Build meals around blood sugar balance. Every meal should contain protein, fibre-rich carbohydrates and healthy fats to promote stable energy and hormonal regulation.
Eat the rainbow. A variety of colourful fruits and vegetables supports gut health, provides antioxidants, and reduces inflammation.
Prioritise protein. Getting enough protein at every meal helps maintain muscle mass, supports bone density, regulates appetite and enhances metabolic health.
Felicity’s Favourite Longevity Supplements
"Great for maintaining and building muscle mass, improved cognitive function and long-term brain health."
"Important for healthy immune function, metabolic health and bone density."
"An antioxidant that supports cardiovascular health, energy production and brain health."
Jenny - Naturopath
“Eat functional food daily. Cook food at home with the right balance of carbohydrates, proteins and vegetables. Add herbs like ginger, garlic and turmeric to boost antioxidant enzymes and reduce inflammation.”
– Jenny, Naturopath
Jenny emphasises the importance of consistent exercise:
"Just two 22-minute sessions a day can help regulate blood sugar and support cardiovascular health."
Longevity Boosters
Looking to take things a step further? These foods and supplements are often recommended by our practitioner team:
Magnesium (especially glycinate or citrate) – Supports sleep, muscle recovery, energy production, and stress management.
Resveratrol – A plant compound found in grapes and berries, shown to support cardiovascular and brain health.
NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) – A precursor to NAD+, involved in DNA repair, mitochondrial health, and cellular ageing.
Glutathione – The body’s master antioxidant; supports detoxification, immune health and skin integrity.
Oats – Rich in fibre, B vitamins and beta-glucans that support heart health and digestion.
High-quality protein powders – Useful for supporting protein intake in busy lifestyles or for those with higher physical demands.

Daily Habits for Longevity
Nutrition is foundational, but it’s not the full picture. Here are some lifestyle habits our team highlighted to support healthy ageing:
Hydrate. Water supports energy, digestion, detoxification, and every cellular function.
Prioritise sleep. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality rest per night to allow for tissue repair and hormonal balance.
Move regularly. Daily movement keeps your cardiovascular system strong, maintains muscle and improves brain health.
Manage stress. Chronic stress increases inflammation and can accelerate biological ageing. Try daily breathwork, journalling or outdoor walks.
Minimise alcohol and smoking. Both increase oxidative stress and are linked to accelerated ageing.
Cultivate connection. Strong relationships are associated with improved longevity and better resilience to disease.
Simple, thoughtful strategies repeated daily can have a big impact. Longevity is built on nourishment, balance, and consistency.
