Conversation guide
Everyone else gets an appointment. What about you? There’s a lot of noise about living longer, isn’t there? Mary and I talk about looking at how we’re actually living, asking what sits behind the promises and remembering that our own health questions deserve an appointment too.
- Keep a secure health summary for appointments.
- Compare progress with your own starting point.
- Ask who can access genetic-test data before deciding.
Your own health questions deserve an appointment too.
When did I last book something for my own health?
Try this week: Book or plan one check-up you’ve been putting off.
This is a reflection exercise, not medical advice. Take personal health questions to a qualified health professional.
These ideas come from our conversation. The activities are a few suggestions to try, when you’re ready. This is general information, not personalised medical advice, and it does not recommend peptides, genetic tests or screening. For further reading, visit healthdirect.gov.au/health-screening-tests.

My body was so dehydrated, and all I was doing was giving it caffeine. Um movement didn't really exist in my world. Yeah. And I remember at the end, at the end of my research, you have to synthesize everything together and to make a cohesive into this dissertation. It was late at night. I was sitting at my desk and I was so wired, but I was exhausted. And then I was just like, what am I doing? I'm reading about the science of longevity whilst actively compromising my own health. And I've done a stellar job of it. I was like, time for change. I think it was like when I was writing the summary, I was like, oh, I'm not doing that. I said, I'm not doing that. I'm not doing this. And did you start doing it though? I did. It was at that it I had a light bulb moment, I suppose, because it was it was at my desk.
