The Truth About Stress & Hormones and How They're Ageing You with Nikolina Lauc

This week we sit down with Nikolina Lauc, co-founder of GlycanAge, to explore the science of biological ageing and why your health is about far more than just what you eat.

This conversation challenges the traditional view of wellness and dives into how your stress, relationships, hormones and lifestyle are directly shaping how your body ages at a cellular level.

We explore how biological age can now be measured through inflammation markers, what accelerates ageing (often unexpectedly), and why personalised health is the future.

From the impact of emotional stress and trauma, to the role of hormones, weight, gut diversity and modern lifestyles, this episode connects the dots between your internal world and your long-term health in a way that’s both eye-opening and empowering.

You’ll learn why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to diet or health, how chronic inflammation develops silently and what you can start doing today to support your body, not just for how you look, but how you function and feel long term!
