Everyone wants to look good and a makeover is the perfect opportunity. A new, fresh outfit; stylish blow-dried locks; and makeup that’s been applied by a pro? For most of us females, there’s nothing as exciting as a makeover— unless you’re the following woman, that is…
A few years back, a woman named Tiffanie got in touch with The Rachael Ray Show, seeking guidance from their panel of experts.
You see, at only 25-years-old, Tiffanie was struggling to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Unlike a lot of us, Tiffanie’s battles weren’t with food, however. They were with a few bad habits that many of us are familiar with— her bad sleep schedule and addiction to smoking.
No matter what Tiffanie did, she never managed to get to bed on time. When she did finally crawl between the sheets, hoping for some peaceful slumber, the woman’s sleep was often interrupted and she found herself waking up annoyed. It didn’t seem like there was any winning.
In addition to her struggles with sleep, Tiffanie was also a heavy smoker with a major addiction to nicotine. She knew it was unhealthy and that she needed to stop, but she had doubts if she could do it alone. Between these two habits, Tiffanie was not in the best of health. The 25-year-old woman was constantly fatigued and always feeling run down. She was hoping Rachael Ray’s expert would be able to help her.
When Tiffany was examined by Racheal Ray’s expert, they were shocked to discover the woman was AGING THREE TIMES FASTER than her fellow 25-year-old peers.
To really drive the point home and encourage Tiffanie to start making some changes, Rachael decided to give her a glimpse into her future.
In a clip which was uploaded to Youtube in August of last year, you see Tiffanie meeting with Rachael Ray and Dr. Mark Liponis, the medical director of Canyon Ranch. The trio chat for a few minutes before Rachael hands Tiffanie the “makeover mirror”, warning her:
“Brace yourself; it is a little bit scary.”
When Tiffanie sees her face in the mirror, she is horrified. “Oh my God,” she exclaims. “I look really old!”
But luckily there’s some good news ahead of her. According to Dr. Liponis, Tiffanie’s rapid aging can be reversed. “Especially,” he says, “if she takes those steps now.”
“You’re just not sleeping enough,” the doctor tells her.
“You’re not getting enough time or quality of sleep, and that’s the first thing we need to work on.”
Additionally, he notes, she can repair the effects of smoking, but she needs to quit right now.
“You’re aging about 3x as fast as other 20-year-old women,” he tells her.
Tiffanie’s segment is shocking to see. In today’s fast-paced society, we’re encouraged to strive for the best, and any signs of tiredness can be considered lazy or weak. Amidst this pressure to constantly perform, Tiffanie’s makeover reminds us that it’s so extremely important to look after our body and ourselves first.
