IV Treatment Experience
After my first infusion, I barely ran somersaults into life as a marathon, that’s how vital I felt
Entrepreneur and presenter ESTELLE CRUIJFF (46) is single and has two children. She is working on a television format and wrote the book Poetsen met Estelle.
“As a child, I was compared to Brooke Shields. That had to do with my eyebrows. When I lived in Los Angeles in 2006, they called me ‘Claudia Schiffer’ on the street. Now I’m slowly moving toward Brigitte Bardot – the younger version.”
The older, the more maintenance. In essence, you are like an old bicycle: one time you need a new tire, another time the lock needs lubrication and another time the bell doesn’t work. I am heartily grateful to be alive. I’ve known plenty of people who didn’t even make it to forty. I don’t need to look twenty either – I really don’t want to anymore – but I do want to maintain my head and body, the best way I can.
So I start the day with fresh celery juice and a smoothie. I take collagen, turmeric and ginger for my skin, and a microdose truffle for mental focus. I look at it all through the holistic lens.
And for red traffic lights, I put the cupping device on my face, which promotes blood flow. Otherwise stupefied people look at it funny, but I don’t care.
I’m used to getting comments. Sometimes people ask if I am satisfied with being myself. I don’t ask you if that nose on your face is real, do I? It’s my face, my life. If I feel happier when I’ve done a peel, that’s my choice. I was 27 when I first tried botox. Now I haven’t needed a prick in my forehead and next to my eyes for 10 years. I have such a small forehead, for two euros fifty I’m done. Crow’s feet are sometimes called royalty eyes. I prefer to call them anus eyes.
As long as your skin stays blue, I have them injected away. I also tried fillers once. I’m not into them, it’s like blowing up a balloon all the time. Let alone consider treatment with salmon sperm injections. After all, it seems that DNA substances that are good for your skin can be extracted from salmon sperm.
Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber regularly hang out on a NAD+ infusion, a supplement to an enzyme naturally present in your body that supposedly provides cellular renewal. Doctor David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School has written extensively about it – I read up on it so I don’t miss anything. That’s why this inheritance is the ultimate test. After my first infusion, I barely ran somersaults into life as a marathon, that’s how vital I felt. I’m not doing it for the men, really. If they want to run next to a young grizzled felt, they shouldn’t be with me.
I’m doing this because I want to keep my outer, inner and spirit in balance. My heart so broken that I didn’t recognize my reflection. As if my soul had left my body. And what do you think tears do to your skin? Like smearing vinegar on your face, I was completely chapped. The opposite is also true: when you’re in love, you shine like a light bulb. No serum can beat that.”
