Who hasn’t heard of Heidi Klum, German top model, one of the advertising faces? The beautiful blonde became world famous in 1998, when she posed for the title page of the US magazine Sports Illustrated, captivating 55 million readers practically overnight. Following a long line of other top models, she posed for Victoria’s Secret, the underwear brand favored by young women. She also did work for Elle and Vogue. Most recently, Heidi was active as a TV moderator for Germany’s Next Topmodel show.
In 2005, she became the center of media attention when she married the well-known singer Seal after a romance worthy of a movie script. In their initial married bliss, Hollywood’s dream couple moved to Beverly Hills where they started a family. Gossip columnists tried to discover the secret of this unconventional couple’s happiness – continually professing their love for each other in public and always ready with a smile for the cameras. Heidi was very frank about what attracted her to Seal upon her first sighting of him in a fitness studio and which part of his physique she admired so much.
As in so many other love stories, things ended in controversy and disillusionment: Seal accused Heidi of having an affair with her long-time bodyguard, which she denied. The relationship finally broke down in April 2012 when this perfect showbiz couple split up. Last September, Heidi finally lifted the lid on her relationship with bodyguard Martin Kristen. Reports suggest that Heidi and Seal are caught up in a dispute surrounding the rights of custody for their children and over their assets.
However, Heidi Klum not only has nothing to laugh about when it comes to men these days: On recent photos, her face looks harder and more angular than it did just a few years previously, when Heidi’s easy smile was mesmerizing fans all over the world. Celebrity website TMZ had put it this way: “She’s the best thing Germany has produced since the Volkswagen.” But, what could be the cause of Heidi’s gaunt, almost haggard face from a medical point of view?
As we age, our bodies are no longer able to produce those substances in sufficient quantities which we need in order to stay energetic and youthful. Healthy, youthful skin and tissue not only need hormones, but also amino acids, peptides, and protein building blocks. Therefore, a gaunt face can be due to an increasing weakness of the adrenal gland’s hormonal system (DHEA, cortisol) which can worsen during stressful situations – taking Heidi’s divorce as an example. On the other hand, wrinkles can be caused by low levels of the sexual hormones (testosterone, progesterone, estrogen) and tissue weakness is a symptom of growth hormone deficiency (HGH, growth hormone).
What would Heidi Klum have to do now in order to regain a more youthful, softer face and more beautiful skin? Hormonal Regeneration® with bioidentical hormones (Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, BHRT) could smooth out her imperfections and imbalances. Perfect Skin, a perfect combination of amino acids, peptides, and protein building blocks could help the skin to regenerate from the inside. After just a few weeks of using Perfect Skin, subcutaneous tissue regenerates from within, small wrinkles are lessened and the face becomes radiant. Bioidentical hormones also help build resistance to stress, which would be a great help to Heidi Klum’s current situation.
In any case, we hope that any bitter divorce proceedings can be prevented for the sake of the couple’s three children and that Heidi will find peace of mind and happiness again. The immutable law which says “As within, so without” does not only apply to supplying the body with hormones and peptides, but also to our psychological well-being – both is reflected in a beautiful smile!
