Make DNA Screening for Cancer and Heart Disease Risk Available in Australia, Asks Shelley Craft 

Shelley Craft and Amanda Attwood, from The Aging Project Podcast  need your support. 

We're calling on Mark Butler, Minister for Health and Aged Care, to champion and approve funding for the next stage of the DNA Screen Project  at Monash University, to move towards population-wide DNA screening for adult disease prevention.

This trial initiative is providing life-saving genetic testing for hereditary cancers and heart disease, preventing tragedies before they happen and dramatically reducing the financial burden on Australia’s healthcare system. 

Led by Professor Paul Lacaze and Dr Jane Tiller, the DNA Screen Project has already demonstrated the life-changing potential in a trial of 10,000 people aged 18 to 40 years at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia. 

Genetic variations affect 1 in 75 people, and with genetic testing now available, there is no reason why it should be restricted. Despite the clear benefits, publicly funded testing is currently available only to those who meet restrictive criteria. 

Every Australian, of any age, deserves the right to know if they fall within the 2% of the population at high risk, so they can take preventive action to protect their health. We want a population-wide, criteria-free screening program. A national initiative like this would put Australia at the forefront of preventive healthcare, ensuring that every Australian knows their genetic risks and can take steps to protect their future health.

Here’s why this matters:

• The DNA screening test can cost as little as $200-$400 per person—an affordable price for a program that has the potential to save lives and reduce long-term healthcare costs. 
• The cost of cancer care alone to the Australian healthcare system is over $6 BILLION annually
• By identifying genetic risks early, we can reduce the number of people needing expensive treatments later, saving taxpayer dollars while preventing disease.

The 10,000-person pilot completed study at Monash University has laid the groundwork for a scalable, nationwide DNA screening program. But to move forward, the project needs government funding to expand beyond the initial trial group and make this life-saving test available to every Australian who wants it, regardless of age or background.

By signing this petition, you are joining a community voice advocating for a future where genetic screening for high risk genetic variations is accessible to everyone, and where preventive healthcare can truly save lives.

We ask Mark Butler and the Australian Government to support funding for the next phase of the DNA Screen Project and allow this innovative program to become a nationwide, population-based screening initiative.

Join us in calling for change. Let’s ensure that every Australian, at every age, has the chance to know their significant genetic risks and take proactive steps to safeguard their health and the health of their families.

In this episode, we sit down with Professor Paul Lacaze, a leading expert in public health genomics, to discuss the groundbreaking DNA Screen Project, which aims to bring preventive DNA testing to the masses. In a world leading trial,The DNA Screen Project study, by Monash University, offered free genetic testing to 10,000 Australians aged 18 to 40 to identify those at risk of hereditary cancers and heart disease.

Paul explains how a simple at-home saliva sample can provide life-saving insights, particularly for those with DNA variants linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, and familial hypercholesterolemia. These genetic variants affect about 1 in 75 Australians, many are unaware of their increased risk, and current testing is only available to a limited group through restrictive criteria.

DNA Screen aims to change this by building the evidence for population-wide DNA screening as a routine part of preventive healthcare. Participants who test positive for a variant are offered genetic counselling and proven risk-reducing strategies to prevent disease or catch it early. Paul discusses the ethical, legal, and policy challenges involved and why genomic testing will touch every stage of life—from newborns to adults—revolutionising healthcare.

This study could pave the way for Australia to become the first country to offer national DNA screening through a public healthcare system, potentially saving lives and reducing the healthcare burden.

Anxiety is the leading cause of ill health for Australian women aged 15 to 44. You might say its at epidemic proportions. For those aged 45 to 64, anxiety ranks fourth, with depression close behind in fifth place. These are alarming statistics, and they highlight a critical need for more effective solutions.

We know that traditional approaches like therapy and medication aren’t always the right for everyone, and the numbers reflect that. That’s why we’ve invited Jessica Maguire to introduce us to the vagus nerve and explore how regulating our nervous system can help reduce anxiety and lead to healthier, more balanced lives as we age. 

Here are the key takeaways:

1. The Vagus Nerve Connection: The vagus nerve is the body's communication highway between the brain and body, playing a crucial role in regulating stress, emotions, and physical health.

2. Mind-Body Interconnection: Emotional states like anxiety or trauma can manifest as physical symptoms such as gut issues or chronic pain. Addressing both mind and body is key to healing.

3. Regulating the Nervous System: Daily practices like breathwork, mindfulness, and even physical exercise can help support vagus nerve function, bringing the body back to balance when it becomes dysregulated.

4. Personalised Healing: Recognise when your nervous system is under stress and take steps to regulate it. Tools like breathing exercises, nutrition, and self-awareness can help rewire your responses over time.

5. Long-Term Benefits: This isn’t a quick fix. Learning to regulate your nervous system is a gradual process, but it's essential for reducing anxiety, improving overall health, and aging well.

Stay tuned as we continue to explore how regulating our vagal nerve may help more than you realise.

In this episode of The Aging Podcast, we sit down with Bridget Carmody, founder of Clémence Organics , to dive deep into skin health as we age. Bridget shares her expert insights on how our skincare routines need to evolve as we move through different stages of life. What worked in our 30s or 40s may no longer be right for us today, and she’s here to guide us through what we can do to keep our skin healthy and radiant.

We also discuss the common struggle many women face—finding the right skincare products—and Bridget helps demystify the process, offering practical advice, and products for every age.

One of the highlights is Bridget’s inspiring founding story of her own brand Clemence Organics: she created her first product, the Ultimate SOS Balm, to help her father during his radiation treatment.

This personal journey reflects a common theme among many of the inspiring brands featured at You Must Try It—a deep-rooted connection to helping loved ones. Supporting Australian brands led by passionate, driven women like Bridget is a privilege we cherish.

Shelley shares some of her most-loved products from Bridget’s range, available in the Ageless Beauty Pack and includes the Tone & Hydrate Spritz, Refining Cleanser, and Repair Serum—all of which are best sellers at You Must Try It. And for those looking to try them, don’t forget, there’s 10% off your first order!

 In this episode, we’re diving into a part of the body we often take for granted—our feet!

As we age, particularly during perimenopause and menopause, foot issues like stiff joints, bunions, and plantar fasciitis often become more common. But what if we told you there’s a way to give your feet the care they deserve?

We’re joined by James Dooner, a physiotherapist and founder of The Foot Collective, to talk about why foot health is so important and how we can strengthen and rebuild our feet with simple, effective practices. From going barefoot to using products like toe spacers, cork balls, and hacky sacks, James shares how these tools can help you restore natural foot function and mobility.

Throughout the episode, we’ll challenge modern shoe culture and explore why many of our footwear choices—despite being "good"—might actually be doing more harm than good. James advocates for minimalist, functional shoes that allow our feet to move naturally, and he explains how barefoot movement can unlock better foot health.

If you’ve ever wondered how to treat your feet better, this is the episode for you! After listening, you’ll never look at your feet—or your shoes—the same way again.

All the foot care products James mentions are available at You Must Try It, and you can find links to everything discussed in the show.

Key Takeaways:

• Feet are the foundation for movement but are often neglected.
• Many modern shoes, even supportive ones, restrict natural foot movement.
• Barefoot movement and minimalist shoes can help restore foot health.
• Foot health improves through simple practices like using toe spacers and introducing more texture to our daily lives.

In this eye-opening episode, you'll be the amazing Dr. Christine Houghton, a renowned expert in Nutritional Biochemistry and Nutrigenomics, to discuss how our diets are failing us—despite living in a country like Australia where fresh food and nutrition are abundant. Shockingly, diet is the 3rd leading preventable cause of ill health and premature death among women. Chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, bowel cancer, and stroke are deeply connected to what we eat.

Dr. Houghton shares why it’s time to rethink our relationship with food and how we can make meaningful changes by understanding our genetics and biochemistry. We discuss the revolutionary fields of Nutrigenomics and Epigenetics, which highlight how each meal we consume can influence gene pathways—either promoting health or contributing to disease. Dr. Houghton also sheds light on common dietary misconceptions, critiques of modern food products, and why “food is medicine” is more than just a saying.

We explore practical steps to take control of your health through smarter food choices, and Dr. Houghton introduces us to Cell Logic’s nutrigenomically active products, like DefenCELL® and EnduraCell®, designed to support cellular health and disease prevention.

Key Takeaways:

-Each meal impacts your genes and health.
-Nutrigenomics explains why food is more powerful than we realise.
-Be mindful of food labels and choose nutrient-rich options.
-Support your brain and body with the right supplements.
-Take control of your health by signing up for the FitGenes Program waitlist at The Aging Project and - explore the science-backed supplements at You Must Try It.

In this episode titled 'You may have PRE-DIABETES with Dr. Michelle Woolhouse', we dive into the growing concern of prediabetes. Dr. Woolhouse discusses why diabetes is a critical health issue and how many individuals are unaware they are in the prediabetes stage. With the right tools and early detection, such as continuous glucose monitors, we can catch these warning signs and prevent the progression to full-blown diabetes.
