The New 50s
Turning 50 is certainly a milestone, but somewhat less daring than the previous generation felt, as we have more access to innovative ways to move better, balance our hormones, achieve glowing skin and calm down. our mind. As life gets tougher in our 50s, we’re pulled in different directions as we balance caring for teenagers and aging parents, our needs can easily take a back seat.
My little black book of the best things to get us through this decade, with more ease and with my seal of approval:
+ Motion
Longer, thinner limbs during our 50s take a little more work and consistency. Celebrity trainer Louisa Drake created the ingenious Invisible Reformer offering, which democratizes reformer Pilates allowing us all to reap the benefits. The Invisible Reformer Training wraps around her signature Invisible Reformer kit, which includes gliders, a mini stability balland miscellaneous resistance bands to replicate the results of a traditional Reformer workout. This makes it ideal for those who are busy and want to fit it into a busy life. The program features the best Pilates movements adapted for the mat, providing a safe, comprehensive, low-impact workout that builds strength, stability and flexibility. Despite the fact that it seems like a much simpler workout, Louisa guarantees that it is equally challenging.

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

+ Hair health
I am a long time fan of CALECIM® Professional, for many of us who are losing hair in our middle age, this technology works wonders. Top doctors, Dr Munir and Dr Tapan use it in the clinic. However, the home treatment gives great results as it breathes life back into the hair follicles in just six weeks, but requires constant maintenance. CALECIM® Professional harnesses the power of stem cell extracts to send cellular messages directly to hair follicle cells, leading to a healthy scalp and an ideal environment for thick, healthy hair. Just use the Advanced Hair System and the derma stamp tool in combination, they make an easy and effective hair loss treatment and you can feel your hair density and quality improve.
+ Mind
After practicing yoga for many years, I have now added self-hypnosis to my wellness routine, using it specifically to help me sleep. Before bed, I turn to the trusted self-hypnosis app reveri, created and edited by Stanford Psychiatry Chief Dr. David Spiegel. Its innovative, science-backed self-hypnosis app offers a range of interactive and guided hypnosis sessions to suit your needs. This groundbreaking app is designed to strengthen the connection between mind and body, allowing us to rewire the way the brain thinks and responds, promoting positive sustainable change, allowing us to overcome insomnia, anxiety, stress, worry , fears, and trauma. Dr Spiegel’s calm voice, combined with his knowledge of Self-Hypnosis (which he has been using in the clinic since the 1960s) has resulted in a unique offering that is meant to help people live at their best, with zero side effects . This can change our neurological pathways in ways that meditation cannot.

For a grown-up glow, I turn to the meticulous Dr Surbhi on Wimpole Street (I expect the Chanel muses coming out as you walk in) she gives you gorgeous, expensive skin as she lays out the best treatments for your skin’s needs. For many years, I have been a fan of resurfacing methods to make our skin look its best. It makes sense that by signaling our cells to behave youthfully, we gain a natural ethereal glow that’s second to none. Her new game, Rexonage3, ticks all the boxes. Targeting the basal layer of the dermis, where the adult stem cells are located, it promotes the reorganization of collagen and elastin, proteins of crucial importance for tissue regeneration.
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 Tuning” – here we can manipulate energy in the form of frequency so it can interact with biological tissue. Unlike other devices, it targets the “molecular resonance” energy of the cell, causing impressive cellular regeneration, without thermal damage. In short – this clever Italian technology is able to access cell metabolism through its synergistic action. QMR is one in its kind technologies that transfer energy packets to human cells, stimulating their regenerative process.
As we age (from about age 25), the structural proteins in the dermis, mainly collagen and elastin, begin to slow down. These proteins act as a “scaffold” that supports the structures of the skin. Their abundance in young skin determines its tone, structure and elasticity. With aging, the protein content tends to decrease, and this is due to the very important “cell metabolism”, especially in fibroblasts. The Rexonage3 accelerates cell metabolism, supercharging it to trick more mature skin into thinking it’s younger. Your pores will disappear, skin will tighten and collagen will be strengthened.
