Susan Saunders is a health coach helping women over 50 reduce dementia risk and optimise brain health with science-backed habits. 

She’s the author of three books about healthy ageing and longevity. She co-wrote the bestseller The Age-Well Project (and the blog of the same name) and authored The Age-Well Plan. Her most recent publication is The Power Decade: how to thrive after menopause – and it’s out now. 

She has a high-level qualification as a dementia prevention coach with neuroscientist Dr Dale Bredesen (author of The End of Alzheimer’s) and was one of the first coaches in the UK to qualify as a coach on his programme. She’s coached hundreds of people globally to build habits scientifically-shown to reduce dementia risk. 

How can we age well? Susan says it is in our hands. If we look after our lifestyle – we can age well and reduce the risk of dementia. Susan has dedicated her life to examining aging well since her mother got dementia.  In The Power Decade she talks about the ‘3 Ms’ – mindset, meals and movement’, and in her coaching practice she talks about six pillars of better brain health – nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, cognitive engagement and environment (social and built). We discuss these topics, from the myths around nutrition, to the myths around which exercise post menopausal women should do.  Susan feels that managing stress is an essential life skill, and exercise is no longer an option. It is time to rediscover our creativity and find our tribe. This podcast is filled with brilliant advice on how to age well.
