Kcal launches world-first 360 longevity programme The new 12-week programme

Published

on

Kcal has launched the world’s first 360 longevity programme, bringing together nutrition, hydration, supplementation and before-and-after biomarker testing within one structured 12-week programme. While each of these elements exists independently, Kcal is the first to bring all four together within a single programme. The launch marks the latest step in Kcal’s evolution. Sixteen years after launching in Dubai, the business is continuing to look firmly ahead, continuing to explore how nutrition and everyday health can become more personalised, connected and measurable Each client begins with a 26-marker blood panel, taken at home or in the office and processed by European diagnostics group Unilabs.

This establishes their baseline before beginning the programme. At Week 12, the panel is repeated, allowing clients to compare their results with where they started. The first intake is limited to 50 clients, allowing the Kcal team to work closely with each client throughout the 12 week. Andreas Borgmann, Founder & CEO of Kcal, said: “Food has always been where Kcal starts, but it isn’t where health ends.

What we eat, how we hydrate and the nutrients we give our bodies all work together. Too often, these things are looked at separately. “For me, the important part is being able to measure it. We can all say something is good for you, but I would rather look at the data. That’s why the programme starts with blood work and finishes with blood work. You have a baseline, you follow the programme for 12 weeks, and then you can see what actually changed.”

How the 360 longevity programme works

The programme runs Monday to Friday across 12 weeks, giving clients 60 delivery days within a structured 5-on/2-off cycle. It is built around four connected areas: biology, nutrition, hydration and supplementation.

1. Biology

The programme begins with a 26-marker blood panel powered by Unilabs, covering metabolism and blood sugar, cholesterol and cardiovascular health, liver function, vitamins and hormones. Results are reviewed with a dedicated Kcal nutritionist and help inform the client’s programme. At Week 12, the blood panel is repeated under the same conditions, giving clients a direct comparison with their starting results.

2. Nutrition

Clients receive three meals and two snacks daily, built around the Kcal plate: half greens, a quarter protein, with the remaining quarter split between healthy fats and complex carbohydrates. Meals are prepared with olive oil only and contain no additives, preservatives, seed oils or processed ingredients. The men’s programme averages 1,900 kcal and 150g of protein per day. The women’s programme averages 1,500 kcal and 120g of protein per day.

3. Hydration

Kcal Hydra+ provides two sugar-free electrolyte sachets daily, each containing 2g of creatine monohydrate, as part of the programme’s approach to daily hydration.

4. Supplementation

Each 23g sachet contains 38 active ingredients, including NMN, Calcium AKG, spermidine, creatine, Lion’s Mane and collagen, among others. The formula is third-party lab verified and contains no proprietary blends, with every ingredient and every dose listed on the label.

Made for real life

The 360 longevity programme follows a 5-on/2-off structure. Meals, Core and Hydra+ are delivered Monday through Friday, while weekends sit outside the structured programme. During weekends, clients are encouraged to continue the habits that sit behind the programme, including balanced meals, hydration, quality sleep and daily movement.

What clients can expect

A nurse draws the baseline panel at the client’s home or office. Meals begin three days later, informed by the client’s baseline metabolic markers. The full results are reviewed with a dedicated Kcal nutritionist. At Week 12, the process repeats under the same conditions: same panel, same lab, same protocol. Clients then receive a direct comparison against where they started.

Pricing and availability

The women’s programme is AED 233 per day and the men’s programme is AED 250 per day, across 60 days of food over 12 weeks. Payment splits are available through Tabby. Applications for the first 50 places are now open at kcallife.com/longevity.

Published

on

AMAYA is now MYA. As the brand expands its regional and international presence, a unified name gives every location one voice and every guest one clear promise. MYA supports consistency across its growing portfolio of destinations while preserving the energy, hospitality and attention to detail established in Dubai.

The Dubai-born dining and lifestyle brand has refined its name as part of its continued growth: one concise name that can be recognized, remembered and expressed with equal confidence in every market. MYA is shorter by design, creating greater clarity across destinations, partnerships, communications and digital platforms.

The refinement is precise. MYA carries forward the same founder and leadership, the same team, the same concept, the same culinary direction, the same standards and the same distinctive guest experience. Everything that earned the trust of AMAYA’s guests remains at the heart of MYA.

“Strong brands grow through clarity, consistency and trust. MYA gives the name we have built a sharper global expression. Our people, standards and guest experience remain exactly the same. One name. One vision. One uncompromising standard, built in Dubai and continuing forward as MYA.”               

–  Murat Tutuncu and Moe Ezzat  | Founders & CEO, MYA

MYA’s purpose is clear – to give the established Dubai-born hospitality brand a shorter and more consistent name as it grows across destinations. The shorter name increases recognition, the unified name strengthens consistency, and the same standards give the brand the foundation to grow confidently across cultures and geographies.

The New Rules of Natural-Looking Rejuvenation

Published

on

Exclsuive interview with Dr. Dragana Spica, Specialist Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeon, Aesthetics by King’s College Hospital London – Dubai

When patients talk about wanting to look more refreshed or rejuvenated, how important is skin quality and tightening alongside changes to facial volume and shape?

Looking refreshed is about much more than restoring volume or enhancing facial contours. Skin quality plays a central role in how youthful and healthy a person appears. Even when volume loss is addressed with fillers or fat transfer, poor skin texture, laxity, pigmentation, or reduced collagen can still contribute to a tired appearance.

A comprehensive rejuvenation approach combines attention to facial structure with treatments that improve skin quality and firmness. Technologies that stimulate collagen production, skin tightening procedures, and regenerative treatments can significantly enhance results. When healthy, firm skin is combined with balanced facial proportions, patients tend to achieve a more natural and refreshed appearance rather than an over-treated look.

When it comes to body transformation, what are the most common concerns patients are looking to address through contouring and sculpting?

Most patients are not necessarily looking for dramatic weight loss. Instead, they want to improve body proportions and address stubborn areas that do not respond to diet and exercise. Common concerns include excess fat deposits, loose skin following weight loss or pregnancy, and a lack of definition in certain areas of the body.

Many patients seek contouring to create a smoother silhouette, improve waist definition, refine body balance, or restore confidence in their appearance. Increasingly, body contouring is viewed as a way to enhance overall shape and harmony rather than simply reduce body size.

What are some of the most common concerns patients come to you with when it comes to skin laxity, body contouring and overall body shape?

Skin laxity is one of the most frequent concerns, particularly after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or as part of the natural ageing process. Patients often report loose skin around the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, neck, or lower face. In terms of body contouring, many individuals are concerned about localized fat deposits that persist despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Others are seeking improved body proportions, whether through waist contouring, abdominal refinement, thigh reshaping, or enhancement of areas that have lost volume over time. Ultimately, most patients want results that look natural and complement their unique body structure rather than conforming to a single aesthetic ideal.

Body contouring has become an increasingly important part of aesthetic care. Which areas of the body are patients most interested in sculpting and refining?

The abdomen remains one of the most commonly requested areas for contouring and sculpting, followed closely by the waist and flanks. Patients are also frequently interested in refining the thighs, upper arms, back, and under-chin area.

There has also been growing interest in body-shaping procedures that enhance overall proportions, such as creating a more defined waistline or improving the contour of the hips and buttocks. What is particularly notable today is that patients increasingly view the body as a whole, seeking balanced and harmonious results rather than focusing on a single area in isolation.

How has the conversation around targeted fat reduction evolved, particularly among patients who are looking for definition rather than significant weight loss?

The conversation has shifted considerably over the past few years. Patients are now much more informed and understand that body contouring is not a substitute for weight loss. Instead, they are seeking targeted refinement and improved definition.

Many patients are already close to their ideal weight and simply want to address stubborn pockets of fat that obscure muscle definition or affect body proportions. The focus has moved toward precision, customization, and natural-looking outcomes. Today’s patients often ask how they can achieve a more sculpted appearance while maintaining a healthy, authentic look, and treatment plans are increasingly tailored to support those goals.

In modern aesthetic practice, body contouring is less about reducing size and more about enhancing shape, proportion, and confidence through personalized treatment strategies.
