The New Science of Personalised Nutrition with Hilit Milner

Nutrition has become one of the noisiest and most confusing areas of health, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause and the decades beyond.In this episode of The Gift of Age, I speak with Hilit Milner, clinical dietitian and founder of Sunrise by Dietetics, about how we can use food more intelligently as we age.We explore personalised nutrition, gut health, inflammation, nutrigenomics, protein needs, omega-3 fatty acids, blood sugar balance and the changes in body composition that so many women experience through midlife and beyond.This is not a conversation about dieting, restriction or trying harder. It is about understanding what changes in the body as we age, and how food can help us reduce inflammation, protect muscle, support metabolism, balance blood sugar and age with more strength and vitality.In this conversation, we explore* why nutrition advice has become so confusing* what personalised nutrition really means* the difference between functional, integrative and conventional nutrition* why gut health and the gut biome is central to inflammation and ageing* how much protein women may need in perimenopause, menopause and older age* why muscle becomes harder to build and maintain as we age* the role of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing inflammation* how blood sugar, insulin resistance and cortisol influence midlife weight gain* why weight often shifts around the middle into a meno-belly during menopause* how to reduce inflammation without starvation or over-exercising* what people using GLP-1 medications need to know about protein and muscle protection* how nutrigenomics may shape the future of personalised healthHilit also shares practical, realistic takeaways.This is a conversation about moving beyond diet culture and towards a more intelligent, compassionate and science-informed way of nourishing our bodies as we age.Prefer to watch the full conversation?
