Foreword

Ageing is not a single event. It is a slow, layered change across skin, fat, muscle and bone, and each layer asks for a different kind of attention.

This guide is written for readers who would rather understand the biology than be sold a result. It is educational, hedged where it should be, and free of brand names.
