The Aging Project

We’re popping in with something a little different (and something we’re very excited about): a behind-the-scenes look at The Fitgenes Program.

Today we're sharing The Fitgenes LIVE Workshop Replay. This is a conversation between Sam Shay, the global trainer at Fitgenes and Amanda Attwood, the co-founder of The Aging Project, who manages The Fitgenes Program and 120 Club.

Our growing community loved this LIVE conversation so despite the imperfect audio, we wanted to re-share it here.

Today you'll meet Dr Carli Axford, founder of the Spinal Flow Technique, about a new way of looking at back pain, spinal tension, stress, and the nervous system.

We know around 4 million Australians live with back problems, and as we age, back pain can affect far more than movement. It can impact sleep, mood, confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.

Dr Carli explains what Spinal Flow is, how it differs from traditional chiropractic or physiotherapy, and why more women in midlife are exploring nervous-system-based approaches to pain, tension, and healing.

In this episode, we cover:

What Spinal Flow is, in simple terms How the spine and nervous system are connected

Why stress can show up physically in the body

What “blockages” mean in The 7 gateways of the spine

What actually happens during a Spinal Flow session

Why some people experience emotional release or spontaneous movement

The links between chronic stress, menopause, pain, sleep, inflammation, digestion, pelvic floor symptoms, headaches, jaw tension, and nervous system overload

Whether Spinal Flow may be suitable for women with osteoporosis, post-surgical spines, or menopause-related symptoms

What skeptics should know When back pain needs medical investigation

Practical ways to support spinal health through posture, breath, stress reduction, and nervous-system care

This conversation is a reminder that the body is deeply connected — and that pain is not always just about tissue damage. Sometimes, the body isn’t broken. It’s overloaded.

Please share this episode with those who need to hear it.

If we want to live 120 healthy years we must make better choices for our spine.

In this must listen episode, we sit down with Australia's leading liver expert Professor Jacob George to talk about one of the body’s most important — and most overlooked — organs: the liver.

This miracle organ keeps us alive. It filters, processes, stores, regulates, and protects us, yet most of us know very little about it until something goes wrong.

Today that changes.

We discuss the basics of the liver along with why fatty liver is now so common, how it links to insulin resistance, visceral fat, menopause, and metabolic disease, and why liver disease can develop silently for years.

Professor George explains why liver health matters far beyond alcohol, and how it connects to blood sugar, cholesterol, hormones, inflammation, and long-term disease risk.

The good news? The liver can recover if we get in early.

We also cover the key tests to know, what can be missed, and the simple lifestyle changes that can help restore liver health and change your future trajectory.

Please share this episode with those who need to hear it.

If we want to live 120 healthy years we must make better choices for the liver.

Guest Note

Professor Jacob George is a clinician investigator and Robert W. Storr Chair of Hepatic Medicine, University of Sydney (2007-) and Head, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Westmead Hospital (2006-). He has a proven record of delivering high impact research and teaching outcomes as well as demonstrating leadership at both national and international levels. His work spans basic and translational research on pre-cancerous liver diseases (fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, liver fibrosis and cirrhosis) and liver cancer.

This episode is such an important listen.

We’re joined by Professor Katherine Samaras — an Australian endocrinologist, medical researcher, and one of the country’s leading experts in metabolic health, obesity, diabetes, ageing, and body fat distribution.

She’s spent years helping people understand that the waistline is not just about appearance — it can be one of the clearest early signs of what’s happening with our long-term health.

In this episode, Katherine explains:

why waist circumference can be a more useful vital sign than weight alone

what visceral fat is and why it matters so much for women in peri and menopause

how insulin resistance, hormones, stress, sleep, and muscle loss all connect

what women should start measuring and asking for before disease quietly progresses

where GLP-1 medications fit, without hype or fear

If you’ve ever felt like your body changed and no one properly explained why, this episode will help connect the dots. It’s honest, eye-opening, and full of the kind of information every woman deserves to know.

And most of all, it reminds us that ageing well won’t happen by accident. It will happen when we start paying attention, asking better questions, and doing it together.

Today, we’re introducing The Aging Project 2.0.

A new chapter. A new season. A new era for us.

Because while 1.5 million downloads is amazing, that has never been our real goal.

Our goal has always been impact.

And one number keeps driving everything we do: 11.7 years.
That’s the average number of years Australian women spend in poor health.

That is unacceptable.

So this next chapter is about making sure that doesn’t happen.
Not on our watch.

We’re moving from information to action.
From inspiration to implementation.

And that’s why we’ve created The Aging Project Method™ — a new playbook to help women understand their bodies, track what matters, and take action earlier.

Welcome to The Aging Project 2.0.
