Michelle de Swarte began smoking cannabis from a young age and while working as a model in New York and London did ALOT of recreational drugs.
She’s now 44 and working as a successful writer and comedian and tells Katherine she has replaced the class A’s with as many vitamins and supplements. She’s not too worried about ageing but really nervous about her biological age and is hoping her new lifestyle will be reflected in the result.
In this brilliant, thought-provoking and open interview, she shares how her troubled childhood shaped her, how she got lost in the game of fillers and how she came to the positive decision to live life child-free.
Michelle de Swarte’s family describe her as Darth Vaper and Michelle admits she has more than the occasional puff. Dr Nichola Conlon looks at the emerging science on vaping and smoking and how they affect biological age. Nichola also assesses Michelle’s vitamins and which ones are best for her reversing the ageing process on the inside.
Michelle de Swarte wrote and starred in the BBC comedy drama Spent. She’s on tour in the Autumn with her new show ‘The Afters’ that looks at youth, social media and ageing.
