40 Is the New 30: Transform Your Body in Just 6 Weeks
The result? A 6-week roadmap designed to reshape the body, revitalise the skin, and reset energy levels—just in time for summer.
Inflammation: The silent accelerator of aging
One of the first things Chiara pointed out is that low-grade chronic inflammation is a silent but powerful force driving premature aging. It compromises everything from skin elasticity and hormone balance to fat distribution and mental clarity. 'Inflammation is often invisible,' she explained, 'but it underpins nearly every age-related disease—from diabetes to Alzheimer's.'
To tackle it, she recommends removing inflammatory triggers like ultra-processed foods, sugar, gluten, and industrial oils. In their place, she advises loading your plate with anti-inflammatory whole foods—wild fish, dark leafy greens, extra virgin olive oil, and polyphenol-rich berries.
Simple kitchen staples like turmeric, parsley, and antioxidant herbs play a powerful role, too. 'They're not just flavorful—they're antimicrobial, anti-fungal, and support gut strength,' Chiara noted.
One surprisingly effective daily ritual? A morning drink of lemon juice, water, apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of Maldon salt. 'It kickstarts hydration, supports the adrenals, and balances gut pH,' she explained, adding that while lemon is acidic in nature, it becomes alkaline in the gut—unlike coffee, which can increase gut sensitivity when consumed on an empty stomach.
But identifying inflammation isn't always straightforward. That's why Chiara often encourages everyone to do more blood testing, focusing on the Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio—a key biomarker of cellular inflammation. When out of balance (which it is in over 80% of people), it can disrupt cellular communication and amplify oxidative stress. Targeted nutrition and high-grade Omega-3 supplementation can restore this balance in as little as six to eight weeks—improving skin radiance, metabolic function, and energy at the cellular level.
Lean muscle: The real fountain of youth
After the age of 35, women naturally begin to lose 3–8% of their muscle mass each decade if it's not maintained. 'This isn't just about tone,' Chiara said. 'Muscle is a longevity organ. It supports everything—metabolism, insulin sensitivity, bone health, even brain function.'

Are we Overdosing on Health and Beauty Supplements?
There was a time when grocery lists entailed bread, milk, green vegetables, chicken, and eggs. Now, however, the average shopping cart is a curated arsenal of biohacking essentials — collagen and biotin gummies, pre- and probiotic gut-health drinks, melatonin melts, protein powders, and a plethora of vitamin and mineral capsules that promise a healthy life ahead. But are we going overdoing it to the point where it can be unhealthy? Here's what the experts have to say. Why supplements? Designed to fill the nutritional gaps, supplements are meant to assist or 'supplement' one's diet. 'The food we consume may not contain all the essential nutritional elements required,' says Eshanka Wahi, culinary nutritionist, wellness coach, and founder of Eat Clean With Eshanka. 'Supplements are a great source of nutrients that can help improve your overall health and may reduce the risk of some health conditions.' According to Kripa Jalan, nutritionist and founder of Burgers To Beast and CEO of The Primary RX, supplements work by providing your body with vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids, or other botanical extracts in concentrated form. 'Depending on the formulation, they can help restore deficiencies (iron or B12), support biological functions (magnesium for sleep or omega-3s for inflammation), or promote certain outcomes (antioxidants for skin or probiotics for gut health).' Having said that, the expert also believes that for them to work, supplements need to be bioavailable, correctly dosed, and taken consistently. 'Randomly popping pills that are trending on Instagram won't cut it.' An overkill? Whether it's the rise in health awareness, a focus on wellness, or smart marketing strategies, the sudden surge of supplements is real. Evidently, they no longer play a supporting role. 'The boom reflects something beautiful — people are invested in their health,' says Jalan. 'But the downside is a 'more is better' mindset and market that thrives on that.' As an expert in the field, she has seen people treat supplements like wellness insurance, layering multiple pills without a clear purpose, or relying on them to do the job of whole foods, sleep, and stress management. The issue with the boom? Misguided belief. 'Many people are following it as a trend,' says Wahi. 'A lot of people take supplements and eat refined and overly processed foods — supplements aren't going to do any good to your body in such a case.' The dark side Consuming too many supplements can also prove to be harmful. According to Wahi, anything that is consumed in excess does not get absorbed by the body. 'Secondly, fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K can build up in your system and become toxic over time. Excess biotin can interfere with lab results and even cause skin breakouts — ironically opposite of what people are trying to achieve.'

Contemplating Collagen Supplements? Here Are All The Benefits
Sometimes, being a beauty editor is a bit like being a doctor. Mention your job, and people start firing questions at you: should they take collagen? Which collagen is best? And are the health benefits of collagen really as good as they sound? This is similar, I imagine, to how a doctor might find themselves being shown any number of lumps, bumps and rashes while making polite small talk at a dinner party. Occasionally people ask other things… perhaps about red light masks, or retinol, but for the most part these days, the questions are all about collagen. And for good reason. Collagen can help with everything from improving skin firmness to strengthening weak nails and supporting good gut health. What is collagen? 'Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body,' Hannah Alderson, BANT-registered nutritionist, hormone specialist and author of Everything I Know About Hormones: Six Steps to Optimal Health & Happiness , says. 'But it's not a 'complete' protein.' This means it doesn't contain all nine essential amino acids that constitute a protein cell. But still, it's not without its benefits. How collagen works 'Collagen acts like scaffolding – giving structure, strength and elasticity to skin, bones, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues,' Alderson continues. 'Think of it as the glue that holds everything together, from your complexion to your joints.' Nerds will appreciate that the word collagen actually comes from the Greek word for glue. Yes, there are different types of collagen both in the body and in the collagen supplements we consume. In the body, over 28 types of collagen have been identified, though there are five that we tend to concentrate on. These types of collagen appear in skin, nails, hair, bones, muscles, joints and organs. Then, when it comes to collagen supplements, there are two main types of collagen: bovine collagen and marine collagen. Bovine collagen 'Bovine collagen is derived from cows and typically contains Type I and Type III collagen,' Alderson tells British Vogue . 'These types of collagen support skin, muscles, bones and connective tissue.' Bovine collagen is found in a cow's connective tissue, bones and hide, and as with humans, it acts like a structure-supporting glue. Marine collagen 'Marine collagen, on the other hand, is sourced from fish and is primarily Type I, making it particularly effective for skin health,' Alderson explains. Marine collagen can tend to be more bioavailable, meaning it's more straightforward for the body to absorb, which can mean that it absorbs faster and more efficiently. What are the benefits of collagen? Whichever type you take, marine or bovine collagen, the list of benefits is long. 1. Skin hydration 'Collagen can help with skin hydration, elasticity and the appearance of fine lines,' says Alderson. An important thing to note, though, is that collagen can only do so much to mitigate certain lifestyle factors. Things like how much alcohol you drink, whether you smoke, if you wear sun protection and how hydrated you are can make a marked difference, too. 2. Improved bone density Bones with high density are more resilient to cracks, breakages and fractures – all important things as you age. A 2018 study of post-menopausal women found that certain collagen peptides significantly increase bone mineral density. Other studies have shown that collagen can help increase bone density in people with diagnosed osteoporosis or osteopenia, both bone disorders caused by a loss of density. 3. Stronger nails If weak, flaking nails are one of your biggest pet peeves, collagen could help restore them to their former glory. 'As the most abundant protein in the body, collagen is essentially the building block that keeps skin firm and elastic and supports healthy hair and nails,' says Vida Glow founder Anna Lahey. 4. Gut-lining support 'Collagen can help support the integrity of the gut lining, though more research [in this area] is needed,' says Alderson. The gut lining is a semi-permeable layer that controls what passes through the gut and into the bloodstream. For example, the nutrients from food, electrolytes and water are things that should pass through the gut lining and into the bloodstream. Things like bacteria and toxins, though, absolutely should not. When the integrity of the gut lining is compromised, it can become lax and let these harmful substances into the bloodstream, triggering inflammation. Collagen can help this mucus layer work as it should. 5. Joint comfort and mobility Stiff, aching joints are something that collagen can help alleviate, says Alderson, particularly in 'active or ageing individuals'. However, as with all collagen benefits, the only way to truly reap them is through consistency.

We Have a Tech-Neck Problem — Here's How to Deal With It
Heads down, shoulders hunched, spines strained — welcome to the age where millennials and Gen Zs carry the weight of their digital lives on their shoulders…quite literally. The result? Tech or text neck. The epidemic can be attributed to mindless doom scrolling, binge-watching, or spiralling down the TikTok rabbit hole, where poor posture and unhealthy skin, specifically in the neck and chest region, await. 'Tech neck is a modern, 'trending' term used to describe neck and upper back pain, stiffness, and postural dysfunction caused by prolonged forward head posture often from looking down at phones, tablets, or laptops,' explains Florence Penny, consultant musculoskeletal physiotherapist and founder, Flow Physio London. The side effects of tech-neck Picture this: the head weighs 4.5 to 5.5 kgs, but for every inch it moves forward, the relative weight on the cervical spine doubles, putting continual stress on the neck. According to Penny, this isn't a 'new' problem. It's a modern evolution of classic postural imbalance that is simply amplified by the unrelenting presence of technology in our lives. 'Tech alone isn't to blame — we're moving less, exercising less, and carrying more day-to-day stress,' explains Penny. 'It's not the posture itself that causes harm, but the prolonged time spent in one static position, often under pressure, that creates strain on the body.' Tech neck isn't about posture; your skin gets caught in the crossfire, too. Dr Milena Al Mansuri, dermatologist and founder of Dubai's Milena Aesthetics Clinic, explains that the constant downward movement of the neck leads to horizontal lines known as 'neck rings' which accelerate skin laxity. 'Over time, these creases deepen, leading to premature ageing in an area we tend to overlook and forget.' Additionally, blue light from screens penetrates deeply into the skin, triggering oxidative stress and collagen breakdown. Dr Al Mansuri believes that the neck and decolletage are particularly vulnerable, often left unprotected and under-moisturised, leading to pigmentation, dullness, and thinning skin. The posture fix As a physiotherapist, Penny emphasises that people often overlook upper body and postural strength training. 'It's not just about stretching or sitting upright, but it's about challenging key muscles against resistance to build the strength needed for long-term postural support,' she explains. She recommends simple exercises like chin tucks, wall angels, and scapular retractions to help activate deep postural muscles and open up the spine, along with stretches for neck and thoracic extension to relieve built-up tension. 'For lasting change, I suggest a physiotherapy review, as a tailored strength programme is key in helping to rebuild the postural support system so that symptoms not only improve, but are less likely to return or become chronic.'
