The New 50’s
Turning 50 certainly feels like a milestone, but somehow less dauting that it might have felt to the generation before, as we have more access to pioneering ways that we can move better, balance our hormones, get glowy skin and calm our minds. As our life becomes more challenging in our 50’s, we are pulled in different directions, as we balance looking after teenagers and elderly parents, our needs can easily get left behind.
My little black book of the best things that can take us through this decade, with more ease and have my stamp of approval:
+ Movement
Longer and leaner limbs during our 50s take a little more work and consistency. Louisa Drake, celebrity trainer has created her clever Invisible Reformer offering, which democratises reformer Pilates allowing us all to reap the benefits. The Invisible Reformer Workout wraps around her signature Invisible Reformer kit, which includes gliders, a mini stability ball, and various resistance bands to replicate the effects of a traditional Reformer workout. This makes it ideal for those who are busy and want to fit it into a busy life. The programme includes the best Pilates moves adapted for the mat, providing a safe, comprehensive, low-impact workout that builds strength, stability, and flexibility. Despite seeming like a much simpler workout, Louisa guarantees it’s just as challenging.

Making simple changes to our nutrition during my 50’s, is a focus for me. Dr Federica Amati Head nutritionist at ZOE, and author of Recipes for a better menopause give us delicious, science backed dishes, created by award winning chef, Jane Baxter. Together they give us Mediterranean-style recipes, which are packed with nutrients, protein and essential vitamins to allow us to thrive when we need them most, so we can ensure that our 50’s are our strongest, healthiest decade.

+ Hair health
I’ve been a long-term fan of CALECIM® Professional, for many of us loosing hair during our midlife, this technology works wonders. Leading doctors, Dr Munir and Dr Tapan use this in clinic; however, the at-home treatment gives exceptional results as it breathes life back into the hair follicles in just six weeks, but continued maintenance is required. CALECIM® Professional works by harnessing the power of stem cell extracts to send cellular messages direct to hair follicle cells, leading to a healthy scalp and an ideal environment for thick, healthy hair. Simply use the Advanced Hair System and derma stamp tool combined make an easy and effective hair loss treatment and feel your hair density and quality improve.
+ Mind
After practicing yoga for many years, I have now added self-hypnosis to my wellness habits, using it specifically to help me drift off to sleep. Before bed, I turn to trusted self- hypnosis app reveri, which has been created and curated by Stanford’s head of Psychiatry, Dr David Spiegel. His trailblazing, science approved, self-hypnosis app, offers a series of interactive and guided hypnosis sessions to suit your needs. This ground-breaking app, is designed to strengthen the connection between mind and body, allowing us to re-wire the way the brain thinks and responds, promoting positive sustainable changes, enabling us to overcome insomnia, anxiety, stress, worries, fears, and trauma. Dr Spiegel’s calming voice, combined with his knowledge around Self-hypnosis (which he has been using in clinic since the 1960s) has resulted in a stand-out offering that is set to help people live to their optimum, with zero side effects. This can change our neurological pathways in ways that meditation cannot.

+ Skin
For a grownup glow-up, I turn to the meticulous Dr Surbhi on Wimpole Street (expect Chanel muses to be exiting as you enter) she gives you gorgeous, expensive skin as she layers the best treatments for your skins needs. For many years now, I have been a fan of regenerative methods to get our skin looking its best. It makes sense, that by signalling our cells to behave youthfully, we gain a natural ethereal glow that is unsurpassable. Her new toy, the Rexonage3, ticks all of the boxes. By targeting the base layer of the dermis, where adult stem cells reside, it prompts the reorganisation of collagen and elastin, crucial proteins for tissue rejuvenation.
This is the only device on the market that can improve collagen and elastin, without the use of heat but instead harnesses the power of ‘Quantum Molecular Resonance’ – this is where we are able to manipulate energy in the form of frequency, so that it can interact with our biological tissue. Unlike other devices, it targets ‘molecular resonant’ energy of the cell, triggering impressive cell regeneration, without thermal damage. In a nutshell – this clever Italian technology is able to access the cells metabolism through its synergistic action. QMR is a one of its kind technologies, that delivers packets of energy to the human cells, stimulating their regenerative process.
As we age (from around 25 years old), the structural proteins in the dermis, mainly collagen and elastin, begin to slow down. These proteins act as a ‘scaffold’ supporting the structures of the skin. Their abundance in young skin determines its tone, structure, and elasticity. With ageing, the protein content tends to decline, and this is due to the all-important ‘cell metabolism’, particularly fibroblasts. The Rexonage3 accelerates the cell metabolism, supercharging it to trick more mature skin, into believing it’s younger. Your pores will vanish, skin will tighten, and collagen will be boosted.
