Struggling to lose weight… even when you’re doing everything right?

You’re eating better.
You’re moving more.
You’re trying to do the right things.

But if your sleep isn’t right, weight loss becomes much harder — and it’s not your fault.

Poor sleep affects:
• Hunger hormones
• Blood sugar control
• Cravings
• Stress hormones
• Energy levels
• Fat storage

Many people don’t realise that sleep quality can quietly sabotage weight loss — even with the best intentions.

Snoring, waking tired, daytime fatigue, and unrefreshing sleep can all be signs that something deeper is going on.

At Lygon Everyday Chemist, we’re seeing more people discover that better sleep is the missing piece in their health and weight journey.

If weight loss feels harder than it should, it may be time to look at your sleep.

🚭 Quit Smoking — If It’s Time, We’ll Help You Through the Speed Bumps

Quitting smoking isn’t just about willpower; it’s both physical and psychological, which is why so many people struggle when they try to do it alone.

Cravings, habits, routines, stress, poor sleep… these are obstacles, not failures.

We’ve just published a new blog that looks at quitting smoking through the Four Pillars of Health:
🧠 Mindset & habits
💊 Cravings & withdrawal
🚶 Movement & stress
😴 Sleep & recovery

Eye drops not working? 👀
You’re not imagining it — and it might not be the drops.

Most people don’t realise that blocked oil glands along the eyelids can stop eye drops from absorbing properly.
That’s why drops can sting, wear off quickly, or seem useless.

Here’s the simple routine we teach in the pharmacy:

✔️ Clean the eyelids
✔️ Massage gently for 30 seconds
✔️ Then apply your drops

It’s quick.
It’s gentle.
And for many people, it makes a huge difference.

If your eyes are dry, itchy, gritty, watery, or irritated — come in and talk to your pharmacist. We’re happy to show you the technique and help you get relief.

🎉 Happy New Year from all of us at Lygon Everyday Chemist! 🎉

As we step into 2026, many people are thinking about New Year’s resolutions — better sleep, healthier eating, moving more, managing stress, quitting smoking, losing weight, or simply feeling more energised and well.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be focusing on the Four Pillars of Health:
🥗 Nutrition
🚶 Movement
😴 Sleep
🧠 Mental Health

These pillars sit behind many everyday health concerns, and when supported well, they form the foundation for long-term health, vitality and prevention — not just short-term fixes.

Throughout January, we’ll be sharing practical blogs and in-pharmacy support around common goals like weight loss, smoking cessation, pain management, sleep and general wellbeing, and how your local pharmacy can help.

👉 Read our latest blog to get started:
