Supporting Strength and Health Beyond 60

After 60, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney changes, vitamin D and B12 deficiency and muscle loss become more common, often without symptoms. A regular nutrition and blood check helps catch changes early and keeps you strong and independent.

Blood test panel: Senior Essential Check (11 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We explain your results and body composition clearly, set a few practical priorities and refer anything needing medical attention to your doctor.

From midlife, muscle mass and strength decline, and when advanced, this is called sarcopenia. It increases the risk of falls, frailty, slower recovery and loss of independence. Low protein intake, inactivity, illness and some medications speed it up.

Blood test panel: Senior Bone, Kidney & Nutrition Panel (21 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We set protein targets spread across meals, suggest easy high-protein foods, support safe resistance activity and track muscle every 14 days.

Bone loss speeds up with age, especially in women after menopause. About 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture. Low calcium, vitamin D and protein, inactivity and some medications add risk. Diagnosis is made with a DXA scan by your doctor.

Blood test panel: Senior Bone, Kidney & Nutrition Panel (21 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We meet calcium, vitamin D and protein targets through food first, review supplements with your doctor and support muscle strength to reduce falls.

Diabetes is very common after 60 and raises the risk of heart, kidney, eye and nerve problems. In older adults, targets are individualised, and avoiding low blood sugar, weight loss and muscle loss matters as much as lowering glucose.

Blood test panel: Senior Bone, Kidney & Nutrition Panel (21 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We build a simple, balanced meal plan with steady carbohydrates and adequate protein, reduce hypoglycaemia risk and coordinate with your doctor’s medication plan.

Heart disease and high blood pressure are leading causes of illness in older adults. Salt, excess weight, inactivity and poorly controlled cholesterol or diabetes add risk. Many seniors take several heart medications that interact with diet.

Blood test panel: Senior Premium Heart & Longevity Panel (29 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We adapt heart-healthy and DASH-style eating to your foods, reduce hidden salt, review food-medication interactions such as vitamin K with warfarin, and support cardiac rehabilitation.

Kidney function naturally declines with age, and diabetes and high blood pressure speed it up. Chronic kidney disease changes needs for protein, salt, potassium, phosphorus and fluid, depending on stage. Diagnosis and staging are led by your doctor or nephrologist.

Blood test panel: Senior Bone, Kidney & Nutrition Panel (21 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We tailor protein, salt, potassium and phosphorus to your kidney stage and blood results, protect nutrition and muscle, and coordinate with your nephrologist.

Unplanned weight loss, poor appetite, illness, dental problems, living alone or low mood can lead to malnutrition, which slows recovery and increases infections, falls and hospital stays. Unexplained weight loss always needs medical review.

Blood test panel: Senior Bone, Kidney & Nutrition Panel (21 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We screen for malnutrition, add nutrient-dense meals, snacks and fortified foods, recommend supplements if needed and track weight and muscle every 14 days.

Dental problems, dry mouth, reduced taste and swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) can make eating hard and unsafe. Swallowing problems are assessed by a speech and language therapist, who recommends safe food and drink textures.

Blood test panel: Senior Essential Check (11 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We adapt meals to recommended textures, keep them tasty and nutritious, support hydration and work with your speech therapist and carers.

Memory changes worry many older adults and families. Low vitamin B12 and folate, poor hydration, high blood pressure and diabetes can affect brain health. Mediterranean-style eating is linked with healthier ageing, but no diet prevents or cures dementia.

Blood test panel: Senior Premium Heart & Longevity Panel (29 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We build a Mediterranean-style plan, correct B12 and folate gaps, support hydration and regular meals, and help carers with practical mealtime strategies.

Constipation, bloating and reflux become more common with age because of lower fibre and fluid, inactivity and medications. New bowel changes, blood in stools, anaemia or weight loss need medical assessment, including bowel cancer screening where advised.

Blood test panel: Senior Bone, Kidney & Nutrition Panel (21 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We increase fibre and fluids gradually with familiar foods, review medication effects and build simple routines that support comfortable digestion.

Healthy ageing means staying active, independent and well for longer. Muscle, bone, heart, metabolic and brain health are all shaped by diet, activity, sleep and social connection. We focus on proven strategies, not “anti-ageing” products.

Blood test panel: Senior Premium Heart & Longevity Panel (29 tests), assessed before and after your programme.

How our dietitians help: We build a Mediterranean-style plan with protein for muscle, calcium and vitamin D for bones and heart-healthy fats, and track progress every 14 days.
