I’ve written before about going on the Visia machine for an in-depth look at my skin. It’s always a bit terrifying as it shows every single line, bit of redness, enlarged pore etc. This time I filmed my visit to the Harley Street Skin Clinic so you could see what the machine looks like and hear the verdict. If you’d …
I’ve always been curious about all the many therapies available and have tried a quite a few of them. However, I’ve never tried hypnotherapy but know people who swear by it. So what are the issues that hypnotherapy can treat? When I began to research it, I was astonished at how many things that it claims to help. I think …
It seems crazy to wear an SPF when it’s winter, cold, cloudy and raining, doesn’t it? But there are a couple of factors that make a good argument to do so.

However, depending on what we eat and what order we eat it in, our levels can be very erratic and get raised too high. And this can worsen depressive symptoms and affect mood. It can also …
I’m not sure what I would do without Dr Aamer Khan from the Harley Street Skin Clinic. He has been a constant stream of expert information for Ageless and has very generously given me the time to conduct a number of interviews now. I learn something new each time I talk to Dr Khan Although sometimes it’s not what I …
We all know by now (surely??) that sugar is detrimental to health and can lead to weight gain, diabetes and god knows what else. To circumnavigate this unfortunate fact, who hasn’t tried out alternative sweeteners convinced that they’re much better for our health? Maple syrup anyone? Or how about honey, dates, coconut nectar, fructose or maybe agave syrup? But are …
Following on from my video of breathing exercises for anxiety reduction, I have now made a video with the strategies I myself have used to reduce anxiety. It’s a multifaceted approach which I firmly believe is the best way to go. There is sadly no magic wand or one thing that will overnight reduce anxiety and it’s important to use …
As if there wasn’t enough to worry about, now there’s inflammaging. Or rather the low grade inflammation which causes ageing and also disease. As we age this becomes quite common and all sorts of health issues begin to appear, as well as lines and wrinkles setting in. This is one of the many reasons why an anti-inflammatory diet is key. This was one of the main …
