Our Book of the Month is The Stimulated Mind by .wood.communicate

Dr Wood offers an empowering message; that although dementia and Alzheimer’s is on the rise, our brains are not necessarily destined to decline. In fact, with the right stimulus, they can adapt, strengthen, and even improve over time.

This book focusses on the lifestyle factors that really matter - how we eat, move, and connect with others.

We are learning the importance of taking care of our hearts & joints as we age - now let’s think about our brains!

Genetics vs. Lifestyle: What We Can Control⁠

It is right to look carefully at your family history when assessing your risk of disease; if there is a strong pattern of cardiovascular disease, or dementia in your family then there is a likelihood that that predisposition will exist for you, too. ⁠

But while genetic predisposition influences susceptibility, most chronic diseases arise from an interaction between genes and environment. Lifestyle factors can modify gene expression — a concept known as epigenetics.⁠

Research consistently shows that preventive behaviours can delay, reduce, or sometimes prevent disease even in individuals with higher genetic risk.⁠

Rather than asking, “What diseases will I develop?” a more useful question becomes: “What conditions can I help prevent or postpone?”⁠

Protecting our bone density and reducing the risk of breaks⁠

Bone density naturally declines with age, but the rate accelerates after menopause due to reduced oestrogen. ⁠

Osteoporosis develops gradually and has no symptoms as such – so it often goes unnoticed until a fracture occurs. ⁠

Having a baseline indication of your bone density (gained with a Bone Mineral Density DEXA scan), before the rate of decline really accelerates, can provide an extremely useful baseline for future testing. ⁠

This is important because – apart from the simple fact of not wanting to suffer from broken bones, as we age breaking bones can have a profound affect on our mortality. Around 30% of women over 80 who fracture a hip will die within a year, and only 50% of patients will return to their previous levels of mobility. ⁠

Preventative action is highly effective when started early:⁠
• Weight-bearing and resistance exercise⁠
• Adequate calcium intake through diet⁠
• Maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels⁠
• Avoiding prolonged inactivity⁠
• Supporting hormonal and nutritional balance⁠
Bone health is built over decades. Midlife is the time to actively invest in skeletal strength.⁠

Our Prevent51 service is:⁠
- A carefully curated set of diagnostic tests⁠
- Interpretation & analysis of your results in a consultation with your doctor⁠
- A personalised plan of medical treatment, lifestyle changes and future actions⁠

Bone Health is a key part of our Signature Package, but is also one of our specialist packages. ⁠

If you, a daughter, niece or friend are heading off on post-exam or gap year travels - or getting ready to head to College or University - now might be a really good time to get contraception sorted. ⁠

Contraception is freely available on the NHS - through GPs, sexual health clinics, and even through some pharmacies, but access to these services has become increasingly stretched. ⁠

Harriet Jacobs, our Contraception Specialist, works within Primary Care in the NHS, but also runs our private contraception clinic ⁠

We are lucky here, to be able to give women of all ages the time and space needed to inform, educate, and empower them to make the right choices for them. ⁠

Harriet is extremely experienced, caring, and passionate about supporting women’s individual choice:⁠

‘I always want to make anyone who attends my consultations feel heard, resolve any worries they may have and leave feeling cared for, with their needs addressed. I feel supporting health choices throughout all the stages of a woman’s life, is truly special and one I am most passionate about.’⁠

Metabolic Health - and why it is important for our Longevity?⁠

Many women notice weight changes during midlife, particularly around the abdomen. ⁠

This is not simply cosmetic — it reflects metabolic shifts, and a move towards more visceral fat (held around the organs), which is a problem that can increase the risk of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease.⁠

Metabolic health is strongly influenced by lifestyle factors. it can be improved by:⁠

• Strength training to preserve muscle mass⁠
• Adequate protein intake⁠
• Stable meal patterns that avoid frequent blood sugar spikes⁠
• Regular movement throughout the day⁠
• Managing chronic stress, which drives hormonal imbalance⁠

Muscle acts as a metabolic organ, helping regulate glucose and insulin sensitivity. So preserving lean muscle mass becomes increasingly important as we age – for this reason and also to protect our bone health.⁠

As part of our Prevent51 programme, we have a Metabolic Health Package. This uses a Body Composition DEXA scan, a Personal Health & Lifestyle Questionnaire, Blood Tests and a Vital Sign check to get a full picture of your current Metabolic Health. As with all of our packages, it includes individual interpretation from a doctor, along with a consultation to discuss your results. ⁠

Our Prevent51 service is:⁠
- A carefully curated set of diagnostic tests⁠
- Interpretation & analysis of your results in a consultation with your doctor⁠
- A personalised plan of medical treatment, lifestyle changes and future actions⁠

Thank you so much to Deborah McCartney, a recent patient who left this very heart-warming review of her experience with Dr Leah Deutsch at Clinic51:⁠

‘I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am to have found Clinic 51.⁠

Over the past six months, I’ve been through a lot navigating women’s healthcare, across both NHS and private appointments. Some experiences were genuinely great, and I don’t want to take away from that, but there were also moments where I felt dismissed... like so many women who are told to just get on with it, without any real resolution or plan to improve my symptoms.⁠

Then I met Dr Leah Deutsch.⁠

She is compassionate, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. Most importantly, she truly listens. For the first time, I felt heard and understood. She took the time to have a thorough discussion and worked with me to create a clear, thoughtful plan moving forward. I finally feel like I have direction and support.⁠

I also can’t recommend Di enough - she is so warm and attentive, really listens when you first call, and carefully matches you with the right person. That initial interaction made such a difference.⁠

If you’re struggling with any form of women’s health issue and feel unheard, frustrated, or left with unanswered questions, I can confidently say my appointment was worth every single penny. I would pay it twice over for the clarity, reassurance, and care I received.’⁠

Thank you Deborah ❤️⁠

This lovely review from a recent patient:⁠

‘From the very first telephone conversation with Di I had an amazing experience with Clinic 51. They are doing it right! For the very first time I felt truly listened to and understood. ⁠

Dr Sian Evans is a delightful and kind person with an immense amount of medical knowledge which is what I needed. ⁠

The environment is stunning and even the cup of mint tea when I got there was bliss…. I sent a couple of enquiry emails afterwards which were kindly and promptly answered. Amazing and money very well spent! I would recommend Clinic 51 to anyone!’⁠

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in women worldwide, yet it is frequently under-recognised. ⁠

Before menopause, oestrogen provides some protection by supporting healthy blood vessels and lipid balance. As hormone levels decline, risk factors such as elevated cholesterol, increased blood pressure, and central weight gain often emerge. I⁠

f we have a family history of cardiovascular disease, it is even more important to be aware of these risks. ⁠

Key protective strategies include:⁠
• Regular aerobic and resistance exercise⁠
• Maintaining healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels⁠
• Prioritising sleep and stress management⁠
• Reducing ultra-processed foods and excess sugar intake⁠
• Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol consumption⁠

Even modest improvements in physical activity and nutrition during midlife can substantially lower long-term cardiovascular risk.⁠

As we as our Signature Prevent51 package, which offers a comprehensive set of tests, we also offer a range of specialised individual packages - including Cardiovascular Health. It includes a Personal Health & Lifestyle Assessment, Vital Signs check, comprehensive Blood Tests, and an appointment with your doctor to analyse the results. ⁠
