Projects
Seven projects spanning consumer health education, applied research and digital tools.
Fast Living, Slow Ageing
The flagship book. Co-authored by Kate Marie and Professor Merlin Thomas. Covers diet, exercise, sleep, energy, brain health and disease prevention. 25,000 copies across five editions. 13,000 placed in GP offices and medical waiting areas.
Slow Ageing Guide to Skin Rejuvenation
Consumer education on skin-related ageing. Cuts through misinformation about cosmetic medicine, non-invasive treatments and skincare. Written so women can make informed decisions rather than relying on clinic marketing.
Data Not Diets
85-page ebook covering 100+ tracking tools, apps and health tech. No diet rules, no dogma. Track what matters, make decisions from your own data. The current lead magnet for the 2026 reboot — free for anyone who opts back in.
SLOWbot chatbot
A chatbot-delivered healthy ageing intervention built in partnership with Fondazione Bruno Kessler (Italy). Piloted with 54 women over four weeks. Delivered personalised diet check-ins, adherence tracking and behaviour change prompts. Published as a peer-reviewed research paper.
Values and personality research
Exploratory study into the link between personal values, personality traits and health behaviour in mid-life women. Uses Schwartz values framework and Big Five personality dimensions. Aimed at understanding what actually drives behaviour change beyond information alone.
SLOW moves
An exercise selector for women over 50. 98 clinically tagged exercises matched to your goals, setting and cautions, building a starter mix to take to a professional.
Body Baseline
A body composition report from five home measurements: body fat estimate, waist-to-hip ratio, energy needs and training zones, validated against the original clinician-reviewed participant reports.
Disease-fighting eating plan
Evidence-based nutrition plan distilled from the FLSA book and updated research. Focuses on foods with demonstrated links to disease prevention and healthy ageing rather than weight loss. Practical, non-prescriptive and designed for sustained use.
Live Long Live Strong research program
A research program under proposal with a university partner, building on the SLOWbot pilot and the original FLSA content. Body Baseline is the consumer expression of this work.
