Description

Angela talks to Dr. Andy Galpin about improving health span alongside longevity, focusing specifically on women's health, including managing sleep, stress, nutrition and how physical activity is of vital importance. They also discuss the nuances of optimising fitness routines for women, taking into account the menstrual cycle and challenges during perimenopause and menopause.

Key Takeaways

It is vital to manage sleep, stress, nutrition, and physical activity. By prioritising these key areas, we can set ourselves up for optimal health and longevity.
Spending time in nature or engaging in sports and activities that require reacting to external stimuli can help maintain balance over time. The next time you're feeling stuck in your routine, consider taking a hike or trying out a new sport.
Use subjective and objective measures: When assessing your health and well-being, it's important to use both subjective and objective measures. Dr. Galpin suggests using at least two of each to get a more comprehensive understanding of your overall health.
What works for one person may not work for everyone. It's important to try new things and stick to the ones that bring you results.

About The Guest

Whilst studying Optometry at university, I launched the development of the initial product offering at Ocushield - blue light filtering technology that make eyes healthier, improves sleep and makes people happier.

Currently deploying a newly developed online eye screening test, accessible for the flexible workforce via a web URL.

Having received a development grant from City University of London, I built Ocushield into an internationally distributed, MHRA/FDA medically registered product that transformed hundreds of thousands of peoples eye health and quality of life.

From humble beginnings to building Ocushield, getting featured on Dragons' Den (and winning over Peter Jones & Tej Lalvani in the process), Forbes, The Guardian & USA Today - talking about eye health and blue light, it’s been an entrepreneurial journey full of ups and downs and yes a lot of lessons and joys.

At Ocushield, we have helped over 300,000 eyes in over 70 countries with our products to protect their eyes.

We envision a world aware of eye health in the times of the booming digitisation and the accompanying eye strain thus helping people develop healthier eyes and happier lives.
