About the Event Healthy Ageing - How to Stay Younger for Longer Why Your Metabolism Matters More Than You Think Join Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD, the UK's leading nutritionist and internationally bestselling author, for an informative and practical talk explaining how nutrition and lifestyle choices can help you maintain a healthy metabolism, manage your weight naturally and enjoy better health for years to come. Would you like to stay healthier, more energetic and independent as you grow older? Do you worry about gaining weight more easily, losing muscle, or developing the health problems often associated with ageing? The good news is that while getting older is inevitable, how well you age is something you can influence. Many of the changes we associate with ageing are closely linked to metabolism – the complex process that converts the food you eat into energy while regulating blood sugar, body fat and countless other functions essential for good health. During this fascinating presentation you will discover: • Why your metabolism changes with age and how to keep it working efficiently. • Why fat accumulates around the waist and why it's far more than a cosmetic concern. • What insulin resistance is, how to recognise the warning signs and why it can make losing weight increasingly difficult. • Which everyday foods can disrupt healthy blood sugar balance and what to eat instead. • How to lose weight without slowing your metabolism through restrictive dieting. • The importance of protein, fibre and healthy fats for maintaining muscle, supporting metabolism and keeping you feeling fuller for longer. • Why muscle is one of your greatest anti-ageing assets and how strength training supports lifelong metabolic health. • The powerful connection between sleep, hunger hormones, blood sugar and weight gain. • Why meal timing may be just as important as the foods you choose. • How regular movement and exercise can improve insulin sensitivity without spending hours in the gym. • Which nutrients can help support energy production, metabolic health and healthy ageing. • The important health checks and blood tests that provide valuable insight into your metabolic health. • And much more. Healthy ageing isn't about trying to reverse the clock. It's about giving your body the nutrition, movement and lifestyle support it needs to remain strong, active and resilient throughout life. Small, achievable changes can improve blood sugar balance, support muscle strength, reduce harmful abdominal fat and help you enjoy greater energy and vitality. Don't accept weight gain, declining fitness or low energy as an inevitable part of ageing. Join Dr Marilyn Glenville PhD to discover practical, evidence-based strategies that can help you protect your metabolism, maintain a healthy weight and support long-term health. Because while you can't stop the years passing, you can influence how well you age. Places are limited and advance booking is recommended.
