Hello

Welcome to the first edition of SLIM Magazine for 2024! I can’t believe we are back already! The holiday season seems to have flown by, but here at SLIM we have had a racing start to the year enjoying the amazing events of the Magic Millions racing carnival!

There has been plenty of work happening too, bringing this fantastic first edition to you. Our cover girl for this edition is the gorgeous Gisele Bündchen - an inspiring woman who has successfully crossed over from high fashion runways to pop culture icon. We take a look at her rise to fame, what matters to her most and what life has in store after her split from NFL legend Tom Brady.

We have some great health reads in this edition also - check out our story on cholesterol and how it affects the heart, Dr Cary takes a look into the journey of couples through IVF, which is timely as you will be able to see him at work doing just this in the new season of Channel 9’s Big Miracles. We take a look at coronary calcium CT scoring and your heart and we also explore how bariatric surgery has evolved to become a day stay procedure for many patients.

As always we have some amazing competitions for you to enter with prizes ranging from health to fashion, and everything in between.

We also take you inside the latest collection from iconic Gold Coast activewear brand Cleo Harper - Cleo Harper x Kelsey Wells. This latest collection was created in collaboration with mindful fitness instructor and influencer Kelsey Wells and it will no doubt be a fast favourite with fans of both Kelsey and Cleo Harper.

A popular new year’s resolution is to take more time for yourself and read more often, so why not make good on that resolution now and take some time for yourself while you enjoy the latest edition of SLIM Magazine.

We hope you love it as much as we loved bringing it to you!
