Jane Thurnell-Read

Jane Thurnell-Read writes practical, evidence-based books on health, wellbeing, and healthy ageing, drawing on both her own experience and extensive research. Now in her seventies and living a fit, happy, medication-free life, she’s living proof that it’s never too late to turn things around.

But it wasn’t always this way. In her twenties, she survived on toast, marmalade, chocolate and orange juice—washed down with whisky and up to 40 cigarettes a day. Her personal journey from poor health to vitality informs every page of her writing, making it deeply relatable, warm, and grounded in reality.

She’s the author of four popular books, including *The Science of Healthy Ageing*, *Health & Wellbeing on a Budget*, and *Menopause Weight Loss*. Her work has featured on podcasts and YouTube interviews, where she shares practical advice for ageing well without gimmicks or extremes.

Through her books, Jane encourages readers to make small, sustainable changes that lead to long-term wellbeing and happiness.
