HEALTH INFORMATION
for people our age
We’re baby boomers too.
Like you, we want to stay strong, capable and enjoying life for much longer — without being told to give up everything we love, swallow handfuls of pills or blindly follow the latest health headline.
We were curious enough to go looking for the research behind the advice.
What we found was reassuring, surprising and very different to the headlines—so we began translating it.
Hello, we’re Tracey James and Kim Brebach.
WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM MUSCLES & MARBLES
1. How you can stay strong, vital & free of chronic illness.
2. How to do this without giving up the things you love.
3. Science in ‘easy to read’ English, linking to all sources.
4. Action plans so enjoyable, you’ll want to stick to them.
WHAT WE DO
We find reliable preventative medicine research and turn it into concise eBooks, written in everyday English—with direct, clickable links to all sources, so you can check them.
We focus on what matters at our age:
- Strength, balance & mobility;
- Brain health & dementia risk;
- Weight & metabolic health;
- Staying independent much longer.
Writing and selling eBooks is all we do.
No ads. No sponsors. No commissions.
WHO WE ARE
…and who we’re not. We’re not doctors or health gurus.
We’re experienced information researchers in BioMed & Biotech—and we’re good at:
- Verifying credible sources;
- Spotting hype and half-truths;
- Joining the dots between research;
- Translating medical language into easy-to-read English.
Think of us as the people who do the digging, so you don’t have to.
WHY M&M EXISTS
These days, too much health information aimed at people our age is:
- Dumbed down;
- Focused on fear;
- Misrepresenting of facts;
- Secretly selling something else.
We believe that thinking adults deserve much better.
If you prefer to know why something works (or maybe why it doesn’t)—rather than being told what to do—you’ll probably feel at home here.
SOME OF OUR eBOOKS
We compile the latest preventative medicine research into eBooks—written in plain English, fully referenced & continuously updated.
FROM READERS LIKE YOU
Every boomer needs to know this about dementia. We don’t have to be sitting ducks.
Your e-books are incredibly well written, easy to read and packed with useful information.
Now I don’t need a dementia drug. These gentle lifestyle changes are doable even for me.
Your books really speak to me. You cut through the science and help me make sense of what otherwise makes no sense at all.
Thank you so much for your wonderful ebooks. With every page I read, I feel more and more relieved.
I like the pictures, songs and your own stories. They make technical topics like these so readable and enjoyable.
DO YOU REMEMBER …
When experts were independent?
Once upon a time, health advice was less tangled up with products and sponsors. These days, it can be hard to know who’s truly independent—and who isn’t. So, we follow sources we trust and translate their work into concise, easy-to-read eBooks.
When medicine saw the full picture?
Now with so much micro-specialisation, vital links can be lost. You know, one body, one life—but ten separate silos. We take a wider view, joining the dots across medicine, nutrition, metabolism and prevention, so the bigger picture stays in view.
When keeping up to date was easy?
Years ago, you could stay informed without vanishing down internet rabbit holes. Now it’s noise, headlines & contradictions everywhere. We do the reading, checking & sorting so you don’t have to—and put what matters into one accessible place.
WHAT YOU’LL ENJOY
CONTROL
Understanding the evidence makes it easier to make decisions. Knowing the facts, you’ll be more confident having conversations—and asking questions—with the practitioners who know you best.
CHOICE
Not everyone wants the same lifestyle—and that’s the point. We focus on realistic changes that you can comfortably fit into yours; changes you’ll want to make and maintain.
CONVENIENCE
You can read our PDF eBooks in 3 ways: online, download and keep, print your own—or all 3 if you wish—at no extra cost. You can access all future updates at no extra cost, too.
