Neuroscientist, mind-body expert, TEDx speaker and regular TED Ed educator, Dr Claudia Aguirre has joined the Six Senses Wellness Board to help introduce a Holistic Anti-Ageing Clinic in May at Six Senses Kaplankaya in Turkey.
The concept will then be rolled out across selected Six Senses spas.
Aguirre, who specialises in the connection between the brain and the skin, has a doctorate from the University of Southern California based on hormonal interactions in the ageing brain and qualifications in Yoga, mindfulness and social change.
“While it’s true that our genes contribute to how our skin ages, ‘lifestyle ageing’ is often overlooked,” she says. “The Brain-Skin-Gut connection considers how psycho-social pressures, coupled with an improper diet, can negatively impact gut microbiota and ultimately result in inflamed and unbalanced skin that ages prematurely.”
The Holistic Anti-Ageing Clinic will offer an advanced skin analysis, wellness screening, sleep analysis and a consultation to examine and discuss these lifestyle factors. Clients will get create a personalised skin treatment plan including nutrition, supplements, treatments, movement and mindfulness.
Anna Bjurstam, Six Senses vice president spas and wellness, says: “We are excited to work with Dr Aguirre. We will delve deep into various lifestyle factors – what we eat and drink, our stress levels and hormonal balance, and other parameters such as insulin resistance, gut and intestine imbalances. It’s an exciting approach to wellness that we expect will really benefit guests.”
