Populations are ageing rapidly, yet longer lives are not always lived in good health. Loss of muscle mass and strength, cognitive decline, bone fragility and chronic low-grade inflammation can develop before becoming clinically visible.
Nutrition is one of the modifiable factors that can influence key biological mechanisms associated with ageing, including cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, cellular renewal and the gut microbiome. Supporting function, independence and quality of life later in life requires evidence-based nutritional strategies across the life course.
The Healthy Longevity Academy provides healthcare professionals with practical, evidence-based content to help translate nutrition and ageing science into clinical practice. The content is structured around five scientific pillars:
- The Foundations: Building strong nutritional foundations for lifelong health
- Fuel and Frame: Supporting strength, metabolic health and cognitive vitality
- Cellular Power: Supporting cellular energy and resilience
- Cellular Renewal: Understanding how cells repair, renew and adapt
- The Inner Ecosystem: Examining the role of the gut microbiome in healthy longevity
