Summary
Details

Most Australians will spend over a decade of their life in poor health. It doesn't have to be that way.

Australia is one of the longest-lived nations on Earth - but the average Australian spends more than twelve years in poor health before they die. Twelve years of fatigue, chronic disease, reduced mobility, and diminished independence. Years that could have been different.

Live Well, Age Better is the practical guide to closing that gap.

Written by Dr Mark Lewis - a clinician whose career has spanned pharmacy and medicine - this is a science-backed, Australia-specific guide to the decisions that actually determine how well you age: ones you can make this week, with your current GP, on your current budget.

What you'll find inside:

The biology of ageing explained clearly - what the hallmarks of ageing are, why biological age matters more than your birthday, and which levers you can pull to slow the process The five foundations of healthspan - sleep, movement, nutrition, stress management, and social connection - with the evidence distilled into practical guidance The Australian health system decoded - which Medicare items to ask for, what a comprehensive blood panel should include, and how to have the conversations your GP doesn't always initiate Hormones, gut health, and metabolic function - the areas most often missed in standard care, explained in plain language with current Australian clinical context Emerging therapies assessed honestly - GLP-1 agonists, senolytics, peptides, epigenetic testing - what the evidence shows and what to be sceptical of

This book is for Australians aged 40 to 65 who are ready to take their future health seriously. The global longevity conversation is dominated by American voices writing for American health systems. Live Well, Age Better was written specifically for Australians - no supplements you can't get here, no tests that cost thousands, no protocols that ignore the reality of Australian life.
