About this listen
Secrets of Women’s Healthy Ageing draws on the findings of a unique clinical study that has focused on the health of more than four hundred women in their mid-to-late lives. Over the past thirty years a team of international investigators has compiled a remarkable amount of data, aiming to raise awareness of modifiable risk factors in women’s health.
Their findings cover brain, heart and gut health, diet, sleep, exercise, and the benefits of socialising. But importantly, they highlight how the results relate directly to women’s wellbeing. In Secrets of Women’s Healthy Ageing Cassandra Szoeke shares the wisdom revealed by this comprehensive study, showing how to promote overall wellness and providing the key ingredients for living a long and healthy life.

The book is grounded in serious science. It draws thoughtfully on qualitative and quantitative research, integrates current findings, and clearly distinguishes what we know from randomised controlled trials, epidemiology, and longitudinal data, versus what remains uncertain. There is no overreach, no hype, just careful interpretation of evidence.
Dr Szoeke’s long-standing leadership of the Women’s Healthy Ageing Project (WHAP) is central to the book’s strength. WHAP is an extraordinarily important and under-recognised longitudinal study, and the insights derived from it are presented with clarity, humility, and context. This is science informed by decades of real data, not trends.
As a researcher, I was particularly struck by Dr Szoeke’s genuine partnership with study participants. The respect for participants as collaborators rather than merely subjects is evident throughout the book and, in my view, is a major reason for WHAP’s longevity and impact. This approach represents best practice in longitudinal research and is something I actively aspire to model in my own work.
Importantly, this book is also a fantastic example of high-quality scientific communication to the public. Complex concepts are explained precisely without being oversimplified, uncertainty is handled honestly, and the limits of the evidence are clearly stated. In a field crowded with misinformation and overstated claims about ageing, longevity, and women’s health, this approach is both refreshing and essential.
Strongly recommended.
