The Aging Project

The Aging Project (TAP) Mini Meditations are designed to feed the mind and calm the nervous system.

Most of our guests have spoken about taking moments to stop and pause in the day.

It's our hope you'll take 5 minutes to stop and breathe upon waking, and throughout the day, using our mini meditations to support you relax, and clear the mind.

Please write a review, comment or email us at hello@theagingproject.com.au if you'd like to see more (or less) of these in the future

Today on The Aging Project Podcast, we’re joined by Michelle Kenway — one of Australia’s leading pelvic floor physiotherapists, with over 1 million followers on YouTube. We talk honestly about bladder urgency, prolapse, leaking, constipation, pelvic floor strength and why so many women silently stop exercising after 50.

If you’re always looking for the toilet, crossing your legs when you sneeze, or avoiding exercise because you’re scared of leaking or making things worse — this episode is for you.

Michelle explains that your pelvic floor is a group of muscles — just like your biceps, glutes or core — and they need support, strength and proper training too. We also talk about the impact of declining estrogen after menopause, and how it can affect the tissues, muscles and support structures around the bladder, vagina and pelvic floor.

Inside this practical and empowering conversation, we unpack:

• How often you should actually be going to the toilet each day

• Why going “just in case” can make urgency worse

• How the loss of estrogen can impact bladder urgency, vaginal tissues and pelvic floor support • What prolapse actually is — in plain English

• How to do pelvic floor exercises properly

• The “moo to poo” technique for constipation and straining

• Safe strength training and movement for women 50+

• Why leaking, urgency and prolapse are common — but not something you simply have to put up with

If you’ve ever planned your day around toilets, stopped exercising out of fear, or felt like your body can’t be trusted anymore — this episode could genuinely change the way you think about your pelvic health. Listen now.

What if the problem isn’t your willpower… but your biology?

In this powerful episode of The Aging Project Podcast, we sit down with Dr Chris Lekich to unpack one of the most misunderstood conditions impacting women today: lipoedema.

For the women who:

lose weight everywhere except their legs

feel pain, heaviness or tenderness in their thighs

bruise easily

have been told to “just eat less and move more”

feel like their body is working against them…

This episode may change everything.

We discuss:
• What lipoedema actually is
• Why so many women are dismissed or misdiagnosed
• The connection with hormones and menopause
• How it differs from obesity and lymphoedema
• Why dieting often doesn’t “fix” it
• The emotional toll of being blamed for your body
• What genuinely helps support women living with lipoedema

Most importantly, this episode is about reassurance.

Because sometimes weight isn’t the problem.
And sometimes women have been blaming themselves for something they never fully understood.

This isn’t a failure of willpower.
This is biology.

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.
