40 - How hormones reduce inflammation and keep you healthier for longer

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson speaks with longevity expert and patient advocate Leslie Kenny about health span, inflammation and why prevention matters more than ever. Leslie shares her experience of being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and lupus in her late thirties and being told there was nothing she could do. Rather than accepting this, she explored lifestyle, immune health and inflammation, leading to a remarkable recovery. Together, they discuss why medicine often focuses on managing disease instead of preventing it, the role of hormones in healthy ageing and how women are frequently dismissed during menopause. They also explore the Oxford Longevity Project and share practical, realistic ways to protect health, energy and independence for the long term. Want more from the podcast?
