About

Are you ready to Slow Aging? In this blog we share our philosophy of SLOW AGING as well as provide guidance and share our experience in applying interventions that will slow aging. ‘Slow aging’ is about disease prevention, maintenance of our body’s structure, function and optimization of our quality of life (as we age). Slow aging is also about being happy, productive and at peace with the aging process, rather than stressed by its negative attributes.

We try where we can to provide evidence for the success of the interventions we cover here; one of the key aims of the site is to help you navigate various interventions and make informed decisions. We will cover over time all the interventions available to slow the aging process, from exercise, to skin rejuvenation, to support for the brain, nutrition and diet, supplementation to hormones.

We welcome you to get involved and help us grow this to a resource to be used by anyone interested in applying ‘best practice’ to their lives when it comes to slow aging.

The slow aging project started in 2003 and has culminated in the slow aging philosophy, 7 slow aging principles (AGELESS) and a book called Fast Living, Slow Ageing, which is to be launched in October 2009.  The authors of the book are Kate Marie and Christopher Thomas.

About Kate Marie

Whilst wielding a couple of dumbbells in a gym class, ex-nurse Kate Marie experienced an epiphany around the lack of accepted best practice guidelines when it came to staying well and avoiding disease. This set her on a mission to find practitioners with whom she could develop a personal health program that would enable her to stay well, know she was actually well and to enhance her prospects of living to 130! There were none to be found. At least there were none to be found that had all the answers in one consulting room. Her search for that practitioner has resulted in the development of this book.
