Hello and welcome to this week's Healthy Life Network.
One quick housekeeping note before we dive in... we're moving the newsletter over to a new delivery system this week. Please take a look and let us know if anything looks off on your end, or lands somewhere it shouldn't... your feedback helps us sort any issues quickly.
Beyond that, it's been a full week on the family front and a steady one on the business side. Let's get into it.
Family & Personal Highlights
Ella and Tallam are properly back on their adventure... the Mercedes Sprinter is fixed and back on the road, they've left Melbourne, squeezed in some snowboarding along the way, and are now heading to country Victoria to catch up with family. West is on the horizon after that.
Max remains busy up in Townsville, working as a concrete labourer. He and Katie are excited and planning ahead for their move to Timor-Leste.
Sean has nearly finished his move from a share house to a unit of his own in North Hobart. I think it'll be a great step for him... some independence, and a space that's genuinely his.
Chelle has been really well, and feeling more optimistic about OsteoStrong™ Hobart... we've gained some real traction over the last three months since shifting to a new marketing strategy.
I'm also due to see OsteoPam tomorrow for the next round on my calves... we'll see how we go. And I'm catching up with Twee Shaw sometime this week too, on the Longevity on Fire summit front.
It was also good to catch up with Fiona and Tanya from Hearts4Heart at the Cardiac Society meeting this week... always happy to support the work they do, and glad Cholesterol Explained found its way into their hands.
As for me, I'm well. Didn't get a swim in this week, but plenty of walking instead. I'm prioritising sleep as a foundational piece of wellbeing, alongside connection and stress reduction... the NuCalm Rescue work ties in neatly here too. It also lines up closely with Professor Pete Smith's book, 30 Minutes to Longevity, and this week's podcast. All I can suggest is you try some of it yourself.
Professional & Business Updates
OsteoStrong™ Hobart
Numbers continue to grow, and Chris and Sean are doing a fantastic job driving that. Chelle continues to do an amazing job across both OsteoStrong™ Hobart and Longevity Lab... not an easy balancing act, but she makes it look straightforward.
Longevity Lab Hobart
Work continues on the rebrand and the website reorganisation, with John North helping steer that. Painters are back in from tomorrow, bringing a fresh coat to the upstairs space... looking forward to seeing that come together. On the HOCATT™ front, we've completed our preliminary marketing training ahead of the unit's arrival at the end of August. We'll begin marketing shortly to gauge interest and open expressions of interest before we're even up and running, so early movers have the chance to be at the head of the queue.
Breath Lab
Jen and I have been working through how best to shape our corporate stress management offerings... helping organisations bring some of these nervous system regulation tools to their teams. More to come as that takes shape.
A Chat Worth Your Time... Guy Leech and Next50
During the week I sat down live with Guy Leech and Paul Wigger from Next50... a great conversation. Next50 is a supplement designed to simplify the whole process of ageing well, taking the guesswork out of a category that's usually anything but simple.
The recording should be up now... check the link below to catch it. If it's not there yet, we'll share it properly next week.

Podcast Highlight
EP450: 30 Minutes to Longevity, with Professor Pete Smith
This one's a cracker. Honestly, my longest podcast ever... I couldn't find a natural place to pause because everything he said was so interesting, so engaging, and so relevant for anyone wanting to live as well as possible, for as long as possible.
Fair warning... it's long. Unless you've got a long drive ahead of you, it might take you the week to get through. But if you find it valuable, please like it, share it, and subscribe.

Quiz Corner
Last Week's Answer
Ozone therapy claims a lot... immune support, better circulation, pain and inflammation relief, faster wound healing, and slower cellular ageing. Of the five, three hold up reasonably well under early-stage research.
Wound healing has the most consistent support, particularly in diabetic and chronic wounds, where ozone appears to reduce microbial load and support tissue repair. Pain and inflammation relief also has genuine backing, especially in musculoskeletal conditions, where ozone seems to dial down inflammatory markers and support the body's own antioxidant response. Immune support rounds out the three, with evidence pointing to ozone activating pathways that help the body clear infection.
Improved circulation and slowed cellular ageing are the two that remain largely unproven... plausible in theory, but not yet backed by solid clinical evidence.
Worth saying clearly... most of this evidence comes from small, early-stage studies, and ozone therapy isn't without risk if done incorrectly. It's an area to watch, not one to rely on.
This Week's Question
Lots of people say they're "gluten intolerant"... but coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, and simply bloating after a few beers or a bread roll are three very different things. What actually separates them... and does everyone who bloats after bread need to go gluten-free?
(Answer next week.)
Final Reflection
A van back on the road, a son settling into his own space, a mother finding her footing again... it strikes me this week how much of a good life comes down to movement in the right direction, even when it's slow. Sleep, walking, twenty minutes of stillness a day... none of it dramatic. But add it up over weeks and months, and it's the whole foundation. Worth remembering, whatever season you're in.
Warm regards, Dr Warrick
