The Gastroenterologist And His Daughter

The longevity industry is booming, but how much of what's being sold actually has the science to back it up? In this solo episode, Sandra cuts through the noise to explore what the research really says about ageing well, and why your gut microbiome may be one of the most powerful and most overlooked tools in the longevity conversation.

This episode covers:
  • Why the longevity and biohacking industry often overpromises and underdelivers
  • What the gut microbiome actually has to do with how we age
  • The concept of inflammaging and why it matters for long-term health
  • The female microbiome & the estrobolome: its role in oestrogen metabolism across a woman's lifespan
  • How menopause shifts the microbiome and what that means for women's health
  • The evidence-based dietary and lifestyle habits that genuinely support a healthy microbiome
  • Why the most powerful longevity tool is already sitting in your kitchen
This episode cuts through the expensive, overhyped world of biohacking to make the case that the fundamentals fibre, fermented foods, movement, sleep, and stress management are where the real evidence lies.
