Gold Coast coach's ageing strategy: cut caffeine by midday, ditch screens at night

Gold Coast health coach Azra Alagic recovered from inflammation through lifestyle changes. She now shares affordable strategies in her book.

Azra Alagic noticed her health declining at 50, with joint inflammation, gut issues, and severe migraines her doctor couldn't explain. After researching health management, Alagic became symptom-free through lifestyle changes.

The book Biohack Her focuses on women's health, arguing that simple strategies work better than expensive biohacks. Alagic recommends stopping caffeine by noon since it can linger up to six hours in your body.

Screen time matters too. Turn off phones and computers for at least two to three hours before sleep since blue light disrupts sleep patterns.

Keep eating areas and bedrooms free of devices. Women live about 10 years longer than men on average, but often spend those extra years dealing with chronic illness.

The book emphasises healthspan over lifespan, not just how many years you live but how many of those years you spend in good health.
