Podcast appearances and mentions of Shelley Craft

Are you a gut health dabbler? You're not alone. Many of us read books, listen to podcasts, and try the occasional supplement—but never fully commit to making real, lasting changes. But here's the truth: gut health isn't something you can afford to dabble in. It's the foundation of everything—your mood, energy, immunity, digestion, and even long-term disease prevention. In this episode of The Aging Project Podcast, Clinical Nutritionist Lynsey Koch joins Shelley Craft to help us stop dabbling for good. She breaks down why gut health is the missing piece in longevity, the biggest mistakes we're making, and how to build gut-friendly habits that actually work. Why We Ignore Gut Health (And Why That Needs to Change) We see our dentist for our teeth. We visit dermatologists for our skin. But when it comes to our gut—the control centre of our health—who's keeping us accountable? Many of us only start caring about gut health when something goes wrong. Lynsey explains why we need to shift our thinking and start treating gut health as a daily practice, not a last resort. How Your Gut Affects More Than Just Digestion Did you know that 90% of serotonin (your feel-good hormone) is made in the gut? Or that a diverse gut microbiome is linked to longer, healthier lives? Poor gut health is now connected to anxiety, depression, weight struggles, inflammation, and even autoimmune diseases. If you're feeling sluggish, bloated, moody, or dealing with skin issues—your gut could be the culprit. The Biggest Gut Health Mistakes (Are You Making These?) Many of us think we're taking care of our gut, but we're making key mistakes, including:

Our guest, Sue McShane, is a valued member of The Aging Project Community whose personal journey shows the power of self-advocacy, self-awareness, and taking small, consistent steps toward better health. At 60, Sue is feeling stronger, healthier, and more empowered than ever, but it wasn't always that way. After years of struggling with mental health, trauma, and chronic health concerns, she discovered genetic testing, glucose monitoring, and strength training, which have helped her optimise her health and transition off antidepressants after 27 years. Sue shares how understanding her DNA has been the missing piece in her health puzzle, proving that health isn't just about how you feel—it's about knowing what's happening beneath the surface. Key Episode Highlights 1️⃣ Health is a life-long journey and there's always more to learn Sue thought she knew everything she needed about health—until she discovered The Aging Project Podcast and started learning about genetic testing and personalised health. Health is never “done.” It's a lifelong process of learning, adapting, and making informed choices. Symptoms of menopause including hot flashes, weight gain, cholesterol and anxiety were the calling cards that moved her into action. 2️⃣ From Trauma to Transformation Childhood trauma & long-term stress – Sue grew up in a violent home, which she believes triggered long-term health issues. Spent 27 years on antidepressants after being told by a GP that “everyone needs them.” Battled postnatal depression and chronic infections, leading to years of antibiotic use. Menopause became another turning point—when she sought medical help, she was offered more antidepressants and a statin. That's when she decided to take control of her health. 3️⃣ The Tools That Changed Everything Sue took inspiration from The Aging Project and began exploring: ✔ Fitgenes testing – Helped her understand her genetic predispositions and vitamin needs. ✔ Glucose monitoring (Vively) – Showed how her body responded to different foods. ✔ Strength training – Lifting heavy weights helped her build muscle and improve metabolism. ✔ Nutritional focus – Adjusting B12 and B6 levels played a key role in her transition off antidepressants. 4️⃣ What We Need to Know About Our Health Many GPs aren't trained in menopause, genetics or nutrition Genetic testing is no longer just for celebrities—it's an accessible, powerful tool for understanding your unique health risks. Health is like a jigsaw puzzle—you don't get the full picture all at once, but every piece helps. Your DNA is the missing piece—without it, you're guessing about what your body really needs. Key Takeaway Sue's story is proof that it's never too late to take charge of your health. Healing isn't a one-time fix—it's an ongoing journey, and small, intentional steps make all the difference. Understanding your DNA is a game-changer. It gives you the power to personalise your health, prevent disease, and make smarter choices for longevity. Want to Learn More?

Urinary incontinence is one of the most common yet least talked about issues affecting women's health. More than 1 in 3 women will experience an overactive bladder in their lifetime, and by the age of 70, that number jumps significantly. But here's the real question—does aging have to mean bladder issues? Or have we been misled into believing this is just “part of getting older”? In this episode, Shelley Craft sits down with Dr. Kelly Casperson to debunk the myths, break down the science, and—most importantly—explore real, effective solutions to improve bladder health at any age. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

We're calling on Mark Butler, Minister for Health and Aged Care, to champion and approve funding for the next stage of the DNA Screen Project at Monash University, to move towards population-wide DNA screening for adult disease prevention. This trial initiative is providing life-saving genetic testing for hereditary cancers and heart disease, preventing tragedies before they happen and dramatically reducing the financial burden on Australia's healthcare system. Led by Professor Paul Lacaze and Dr Jane Tiller, the DNA Screen Project has already demonstrated the life-changing potential in a trial of 10,000 people aged 18 to 40 years at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia. Genetic variations affect 1 in 75 people, and with genetic testing now available, there is no reason why it should be restricted. Despite the clear benefits, publicly funded testing is currently available only to those who meet restrictive criteria. Every Australian, of any age, deserves the right to know if they fall within the 2% of the population at high risk, so they can take preventive action to protect their health. We want a population-wide, criteria-free screening program. A national initiative like this would put Australia at the forefront of preventive healthcare, ensuring that every Australian knows their genetic risks and can take steps to protect their future health. Here's why this matters: The DNA screening test can cost as little as $200-$400 per person—an affordable price for a program that has the potential to save lives and reduce long-term healthcare costs. The cost of cancer care alone to the Australian healthcare system is over $6 BILLION annually By identifying genetic risks early, we can reduce the number of people needing expensive treatments later, saving taxpayer dollars while preventing disease. The 10,000-person pilot completed study at Monash University has laid the groundwork for a scalable, nationwide DNA screening program. But to move forward, the project needs government funding to expand beyond the initial trial group and make this life-saving test available to every Australian who wants it, regardless of age or background. By signing this petition, you are joining a community voice advocating for a future where genetic screening for high risk genetic variations is accessible to everyone, and where preventive healthcare can truly save lives.

In this episode, we sit down with Professor Paul Lacaze, a leading expert in public health genomics, to discuss the groundbreaking DNA Screen Project, which aims to bring preventive DNA testing to the masses. In a world leading trial,The DNA Screen Project study, by Monash University, offered free genetic testing to 10,000 Australians aged 18 to 40 to identify those at risk of hereditary cancers and heart disease. Paul explains how a simple at-home saliva sample can provide life-saving insights, particularly for those with DNA variants linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia. These genetic variants affect about 1 in 75 Australians, many are unaware of their increased risk, and current testing is only available to a limited group through restrictive criteria. DNA Screen aims to change this by building the evidence for population-wide DNA screening as a routine part of preventive healthcare. Participants who test positive for a variant are offered genetic counselling and proven risk-reducing strategies to prevent disease or catch it early. Paul discusses the ethical, legal, and policy challenges involved and why genomic testing will touch every stage of life—from newborns to adults—revolutionising healthcare. This study could pave the way for Australia to become the first country to offer national DNA screening through a public healthcare system, potentially saving lives and reducing the healthcare burden.

Here's why this matters: The DNA screening test can cost as little as $200-$400 per person—an affordable price for a program that has the potential to save lives and reduce long-term healthcare costs. The cost of cancer care alone to the Australian healthcare system is over $6 BILLION annually By identifying genetic risks early, we can reduce the number of people needing expensive treatments later, saving taxpayer dollars while preventing disease. The 10,000-person pilot completed study at Monash University has laid the groundwork for a scalable, nationwide DNA screening program. But to move forward, the project needs government funding to expand beyond the initial trial group and make this life-saving test available to every Australian who wants it, regardless of age or background. By signing this petition, you are joining a community voice advocating for a future where genetic screening for high risk genetic variations is accessible to everyone, and where preventive healthcare can truly save lives. We ask Mark Butler and the Australian Government to support funding for the next phase of the DNA Screen Project and allow this innovative program to become a nationwide, population-based screening initiative. Join us in calling for change. Let's ensure that every Australian, at every age, has the chance to know their significant genetic risks and take proactive steps to safeguard their health and the health of their families. The future of genetic testing is HERE - now we just need access to it. Sign now and make your voice heard—because access to life-saving genetic screening should be a right, not a privilege. Help us get 10,000 signatures. Join our movement to live healthier for longer. Shelley Craft and Amanda Attwood The Aging Project and You Must Try It , Co-Founders www.theagingproject.com
