Day 9 check-in ✨
I weighed and measured myself today and the results are honestly so encouraging:

✅ 2kg down
✅ Abdominal circumference: -3cm
✅ Oura sleep score: +15%
✅ More mental clarity + focus
✅ Less bloating

It’s not just the scale — it’s how I feel.
Lighter. Clearer. More in control.

This is exactly why we focus on a full metabolic reset — not extreme dieting.

Join our Cleanse and Reset Program

As we step into a new year, many people reflect not only on their physical health - but on how they’re feeling emotionally, mentally, and energetically.

We talk about gut feelings, butterflies in the stomach, or feeling sick with worry for a reason.

Research continues to show just how closely the gut and brain are connected - and how digestive health can quietly influence mood, stress resilience, sleep, and mental clarity.

Many people experiencing anxiety, low mood, or ongoing stress also notice digestive symptoms such as bloating, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea - often worsening during stressful periods.

This overlap isn’t a coincidence.

In this week’s journal, we explore the gut–brain connection and ask a simple but important question:

Could your body be asking for support, rather than something to be pushed through?
As January begins, this can be a helpful time to reset - gently. Not with restriction or pressure, but with curiosity and care.

If you’re interested in understanding how your gut health may be influencing your energy, mood, or overall wellbeing, our Cleanse & Reset programme runs throughout the year and is tailored to the individual, not a one-size-fits-all seasonal cleanse.
For many people, the first step is simply a conversation.

A discovery call gives you space to talk through symptoms, ask questions, and explore whether this approach feels right with no obligation.

Warm wishes for the start of the year,

Dr Margarita Kitova-John

Day 3 of the Living Light Metabolic Reset, Release Phase

Today felt intentionally simple.
A walk outside.
A warming chicken soup with salad for lunch.

This phase isn’t about restriction or intensity.
It’s about giving the metabolism a break from constant stimulation.

By Day 3, the body often starts to feel quieter — fewer cravings, steadier energy, and a sense of metabolic calm. As a GP, this is the phase I value most, because it sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Small choices.
Consistent signals.
Real change.

Happy New Year from Lantern Clinic ✨

As we step into 2026, we’re holding space for what truly matters —
clarity, balance, health, and intention.

January is a natural pause.
A moment to listen to the body, simplify, and gently reset after the fullness of the festive season.

We’re looking forward to sharing what this new year brings — including our January programs, reflections, and ways to support you in feeling lighter and more well as the year begins.

Here’s to a year of steady energy, deeper health, and thoughtful care.

Welcome, 2026!

✨ 20% off GP appointments this winter.

Winter brings coughs, colds, chest infections and often uncertainty about who to turn to without feeling rushed or dismissed.

At Lantern Clinic, we believe a GP appointment should give you time, clarity, and reassurance - not just a prescription.

As a small winter gift to our community, we’re offering 20% off GP appointments, so you can talk things through properly with an experienced doctor who listens.

✨ What you can expect:
• Plenty of time to talk things through
• Clear guidance and reassurance
• Space to ask questions and discuss next steps
• A whole-person view considering immunity, stress, hormones, gut health, and lifestyle where relevant

Sometimes the most helpful outcome isn’t medication - it’s being heard and leaving with a clear plan.

🩺 Use code: 20-OFF at checkout

Available before and after the festive break
(Clinic closed 24–28 December)

And if you’re already thinking ahead to next year, our Lantern Core Membership offers ongoing, personalised medical care designed around you — a steadier, more supported way to approach your health in 2026.

Our hope is that you feel supported through the winter months, whether you need help with an infection, a flare of symptoms, or simply a space to talk things through.

Wishing you a calm, healthy festive season.

Your brain runs everything — how are you caring for it? -

I recently watched a TEDx talk by Dr Daniel Amen, and it left me deeply inspired.He reminded me that our brain — this three-pound miracle of tissue and electricity — is the command centre of everything we are.Every thought, every emotion, every decision begins there.
