Event Description
Dementia, Cancer, Heart Disease, and Aging Control via Weight Management: Why It Matters and How to Approach It After 50
It's crucial to find the right balance in order to tackle these issues effectively. Too much fatty tissue can cause metabolic problems and promote cancer, while too little muscle accelerates aging, leads to frailty, and worsens blood sugar control.
You might think, "That's all very well, but nothing I do seems to work."
Why is that? Why do some people stay thin no matter what, while others seem to gain weight just by looking at a cream cheese bagel or a slice of lemon drizzle cake?
I’ll explain the latest thinking on why this happens and what you can do about it.
Want to lose a few pounds? What strategies work?
If you're significantly overweight, should you consider a long-term food replacement plan, GLP-1 inhibitors (like Wegovy), or is bariatric surgery a better option? What are the new minimally invasive surgical options?
Need more muscle?
How can you tell if you do? And what’s the best approach to building it?
Join us for an open discussion covering everything you need to know.
If you have a specific question you'd like answered, please email [email protected] in advance.

Meet the Host, Nick
Nick has worked on midlife and ageing issues for over 20 years. His experience as a teaching hospital consultant and researcher has made him an enthusiast for innovation and evidence based medical and lifestyle choices . He has been involved in multiple published studies influencing the evolution and practice of hormone treatment for midlife problems, and more recently developed engaging coaching programs in wellbeing, anti-ageing and HealthSpan extension.
He believes that everyone can benefit from recent improvements in the science of ageing and that taking a positive approach, developing a calm and balanced emotional state, implementing achievable lifestyle measures, and keeping health indices in the ideal range can be transformational.
In addition to his medical training, Nick has attended the Diploma course at the Oxford School of Coaching and Mentoring and Coach training at the Clarity Academy.
