We asked our very own .ummer ‘Should You Trust AI With Your Wellbeing?’

More and more people are leaning on ChatGPT and other AI chatbots to ask questions about their health. Instead of googling a symptom, people are getting personalised, curated responses to all their most pressing questions. But how much should you rely on AI-generated suggestions?

“AI can be a useful tool for learning more about our health. However, when it comes to trusting it implicitly, I would proceed with caution. Health information and personal data are highly confidential, and it is important never to share identifiable details, medical records, or personal photos with AI tools, as any breach may put your data at risk. Anonymised descriptions should always be used.

While AI can appear helpful, it cannot apply the empathy and nuance required to accurately interpret health data in the way a trained doctor or healthcare professional can. As a result, it may cause unnecessary anxiety or stress around a health concern or alternatively downplay an issue that may be more urgent due to its limited understanding of the full health picture.

If you choose to use AI, it works best as a starting point. It can help generate questions about possible diagnoses, investigations, or treatment options, or assist in structuring concerns you wish to discuss further with your doctor. The prevailing recommendation would always be to consult your doctor for any health-related concerns.”

The Ultimate Guide To Detoxing While You Sleep by for

From rest positions to supplements and innovative breathing techniques, how you prepare for night time can lead to supercharged improvements in both body and brain while you sleep.

Can exercise help my body detox?
ummer a general practitioner and one of Dr. Sobczyk’s colleagues at Hooke London, is a big fan of using exercise to aid your sleep detox. “Exercise enhances circulation and improves the clearance of metabolic waste from the brain,” he says. “It also promotes better sleep quality and increases the likelihood of reaching deep sleep.”

But this doesn’t mean just fitting in a yoga session before bed. A 2025 study published in Nature Communications found that adults had improved glymphatic processes after a 12-week program of moderate-intensity cycling. So, getting in some good exercise any time during the day is key for optimised sleep detox.

Quotes from our team in the latest article by for on The Ultimate Guide to Detoxing While You Sleep 💤

Which supplements and foods help the detoxification process?

If you’re looking for an optimal “glymphatic flush,” focus on supporting the flow of fluids throughout the brain, says , MD, an integrative medicine and longevity physician at Hooke London. One supplement that can help? Omega-3s. The nutrient can help reduce neuroinflammation in older subjects with Parkinson’s Disease, according to a 2020 study in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience. But you also don’t have to collect a pension to reap the benefits, and daily supplements can help, says Dr. Sobczyk.

“Magnesium L-Threonate is also highly recommended,” he says. “Threonate efficiently crosses the blood-brain barrier, maximising efficacy and helping the brain transition into the deep, slow-wave states required for detoxification.”

Magnesium supps can also help relax the nervous system by boosting the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), while also toning down excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. All of this helps quiet the brain and wind down at night, leading to more optimal sleep.

Finally, Dr. Sobczyk says nutritional timing is critical for ultimate detox. “Practising time-restricted feeding by finishing your last meal at least three hours before bed is essential, as digestion raises core body temperature and diverts blood flow to the gut. For the glymphatic system to ‘turn on,’ the body must prioritise blood flow to the brain and allow the core temperature to drop.”

‘Thanks to the recent surge in weight-loss injections, GLP-1 has become one of the most talked-about topics in wellness. But long before the jabs, your body was already producing it. And when this hormone is working well, it plays a powerful role in regulating appetite, blood sugar and energy. The best part? Everyday habits – from what you eat to how you move – can help support it naturally. Here’s where you should start…’ By

🍳Put Protein First
If there’s one habit experts consistently recommend for supporting GLP-1, it’s prioritising protein. Meals that include enough protein trigger a stronger release of the hormone, helping you feel fuller for longer. “Protein is one of the strongest direct triggers of GLP-1 release,” says naturopathic doctor at .london .

🏃Move Your Body – Especially After EatingExercise isn’t just about burning calories – it’s increasingly recognised as one of the most powerful tools for supporting metabolic health, including the hormones that regulate appetite. “Moderate-to-vigorous exercise is one of the most reliable ways to boost GLP-1 levels,” says Jean-Marc, explaining regular movement can increase the hormone itself while also making the body more responsive to it.

🥙Look To The Mediterranean DietInterestingly, many of the foods that naturally support GLP-1 are the same ones found at the heart of the Mediterranean diet – a way of eating long associated with better metabolic and heart health. Think extra-virgin olive oil, berries, leafy greens, herbs, nuts, beans and green tea. These foods are rich in plant compounds that help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, which in turn play a role in regulating appetite hormones. “Your gut microbes respond incredibly well to these kinds of foods,” explains Jean-Marc. “When you regularly eat things like olive oil, berries and other colourful plants, you’re essentially feeding the bacteria that help stimulate GLP-1.”

We asked our CEO .woolhouse the origins of .london -

‘So HOOKE London was founded by my father, who got very excited about the science of longevity, I guess about 15 years ago now. And he became, you know, a bit of a, bit of an early biohacker, I guess. But he primarily was focusing on fitness and what was being kind of found in terms of people’s fitness ability in the second half of their life and its impact on ultimately their, their health and their, and their lifespan.

And exercise really is miraculous for a lot of people. It’s, you know, if you can, if you can stay active, strong, flexible for a long, long time, it will, it will do marvelous things in terms of keeping you well..’

We’re delighted to be featured in this latest article in on ‘The Best Time to Take Your Supplements, According to Experts’ by Tom Ward:

In the morning, on an empty stomach
“The first 30 minutes of the day set your metabolic baseline,” says , an integrative medicine and longevity physician at .london . “Forget the coffee, and opt for B-complex vitamins and iron instead.”

And

Dietary nitrate
According to , health and performance director at Hooke London, dietary nitrate (e.g., beetroot juice) can provide performance benefits without keeping you up all night. “It leads to increases in nitric oxide levels, which enhances vasodilation, increases blood flow and oxygen delivery to active muscles.” Translation, it’s great for both quick blasts of lactate threshold work, and longer, Zone 2 efforts.

Most people think sleep is rest.

It isn’t. Optimising sleep is one of the most powerful ways to support long-term brain health, cognitive performance and emotional resilience.

What you sleep in really matters, which is why we love . Bespoke bed linen, made in West Sussex, using the finest cotton sateen and percale. Cotton percale feels cool and crisp. Cotton sateen is softer with a slightly warmer finish. Both are breathable. Both help regulate your temperature through the night.

That means fewer wake-ups and deeper sleep. When sleep is deep and uninterrupted, you think more clearly, react faster and feel more balanced.

Better sleep starts with what touches your skin. 💤
