Lonneke Botello Hernandez was crowned Miss New Zealand Queen of the World at 23, before being told she'd have to lose weight if she wanted to compete in more beauty pageants. As a clinical nutritionist, she recognised a lack of understanding of real nutrition and set out to educate others, advising the finalists for Miss Universe New Zealand on healthy eating principles.
Now Lonneke and her husband, a physician specialising in aesthetic medicine, live in Mexico where they run Aslon Antiaging Clinic.
Lonneke's currently touring New Zealand with her book The Food Fountain of Youth, which offers advice about 'nutrients with science-based benefits for anti-aging beauty'.
Lonneke and Colin discuss whether there is such a thing as anti-aging, and if you can really look more beautiful from the inside out.
