Hi everyone, I’m Steph 👋🏼

I’m passionate about healthy ageing, longevity and what happens at a cellular level as we get older.

For the last 20+ years I’ve been fascinated by glycans — tiny carbohydrate structures that play important roles in how our cells and proteins function. Glycosylation is an increasingly researched area in ageing and health.

🧬 Glycans are now at the heart of what I do.

I help people understand how nutrition can support their health from the inside out — with a particular interest in:

✨ Healthy ageing
✨ Cellular health
✨ Mobility & flexibility
✨ Digestive & immune support
✨ Looking good, feeling good & ageing well

And I LOVE sharing what I’m learning along the way.
This little Reel caught my eye because it explains the world of glycans so beautifully 👇🏼

Everyone’s talking about peptides. Almost no one’s talking about the other half of the equation. 🧬 Here’s what surprised me even after years in medicine: about 1 in 3 of your body’s own peptide hormones come pre-attached to sugar chains called glycans — and that sugar is what keeps them from being shredded in minutes. Three you already know: 🩸 EPO — ~40% sugar. The blood hormone athletes get banned for. 🤰 hCG — ~30% sugar. The pregnancy hormone home tests detect. 🦋 TSH — your thyroid’s master switch, same sugar signature. Strip the sugar off any of them and the hormone falls apart — cleared in minutes, signal lost. Glycans aren’t just decoration on hormones, either. They form the glycocalyx — the fuzzy coat on every cell, including the lining of every blood vessel you have. When that vascular coat thins out (high blood sugar, inflammation, smoking), it’s one of the earliest signs of cardiovascular trouble. So here’s how I think about it: 👉 Peptides are the message. 👉 Glycans are the language — and the protection around it. 👉 Your gut, vessels, and immune system are the terrain it all runs on. The next frontier in longevity isn’t a single molecule. It’s supporting the whole communication system at once. Nature never optimized one and ignore the other — and neither should we. #glycans #peptides #medicine #health #drstefanomd

I’m on Day 12 of our 21 Day Liver Reset & feeling great!
So far..
Sleeping better..
Clearer thinking.. happier! 4lbs down & more energy! This is lunch for days 11-21
The glycans in Ambrotose help toxins being released from the liver, to leave the body.
In my first Reset last year.. I lost 8lbs, and went on to lose a further 8lbs purely as a result of that initial reset! In my 20+ years of working in natural health & glyconutrition, and now with over 1,000 people following this Glycan based Reset.. it really is the BEST investment in your health! I feel better at 60 than I did at 40! So it must be true!
