With just over two weeks until the launch of my new book, "Busting The Code To Ageing: How To Win The Inflammation Game," I’m excited to introduce myself and share why my clinical experience inspired me to write about inflammation and healthy ageing.
Who Is Dr Victoria Manning? My Journey in Longevity and Aesthetic Medicine
I’m Dr Victoria Manning, a GMC-registered doctor with over 20 years of experience in general practice, aesthetic medicine, and longevity. My clinics in London, Bournemouth, and Lymington focus on helping patients achieve healthy ageing by addressing the root causes of inflammation.
My early career as a GP exposed me to a wide range of health challenges across all age groups. A unique chapter included five years as the clinical lead for the prison medical service on the Isle of Wight—a role that taught me the importance of practical, real-world health advice. Managing healthcare in such a complex environment deepened my appreciation for the impact of sleep, stress, and lifestyle on ageing.
Why I Specialised in Inflammation and Ageing
During my years in practice, I noticed clear patterns: some people aged gracefully, while others struggled with premature signs of ageing. Stress, poor sleep, and lifestyle choices often manifested first in their skin and overall health. This led me to specialise in aesthetic medicine and longevity, focusing on the science of inflammation and its effects on ageing.
In my clinics, I’ve helped thousands of patients understand why inflammation is the key driver of ageing—and how it can be managed with practical, everyday choices.
The Real Impact of Inflammation on Ageing
After two decades in medicine, I realised the most effective anti-ageing strategies aren’t found in expensive treatments, but in understanding and controlling inflammation. Many people invest in skincare or supplements without knowing what truly accelerates ageing. My clinical experience shows that sustainable, science-backed changes—like optimising sleep, reducing stress, and improving nutrition—make the biggest difference.
Healthy Living by the Coast: My Life in Lymington
Living in the New Forest with my husband and three dogs (including a 40kg Rottweiler!), I understand the challenges of maintaining healthy habits. Coastal living in Lymington, with its fresh air and slower pace, supports my own healthy ageing journey. My dogs, especially my Rottweiler, are a big part of my stress management strategy—proving that oxytocin from puppy cuddles is real science!
Making Longevity Science Accessible to Everyone
As a global speaker and trainer, I’m passionate about translating complex medical science into practical advice. People want to know why some age better than others, how gut health affects their skin, and what lifestyle habits truly matter. My approach focuses on empowering people to understand their bodies and take control of their ageing process—at any age.
The Science Behind "Busting The Code To Ageing"
Modern research shows that chronic, low-level inflammation is a major factor in biological ageing. I’m fascinated by advances in longevity science, from continuous glucose monitoring to sleep optimisation. My goal is to make these insights accessible, actionable, and relevant for anyone seeking healthy ageing.
Why I Wrote "Busting The Code To Ageing: How To Win The Inflammation Game"
After treating thousands of patients, I saw a need for clear, practical information about inflammation and ageing. My book combines science with real-world tools—like inflammation checklists and sleep guides—to help readers make lasting changes. Each chapter includes my #DrVixTakeaways: actionable steps you can start using immediately.
This isn’t just another medical book—it’s a guide to understanding your body, managing inflammation, and ageing well, no matter your starting point.
My Philosophy: Realistic, Sustainable Healthy Ageing
I’m committed to realistic, sustainable strategies—not quick fixes or perfection. Ageing well is about making informed, consistent choices that fit your lifestyle. My medical expertise and clinical experience inform every recommendation, and I love seeing patients gain confidence in their ability to control how they age.
