This World Mental Health Day, let’s pause to check in with ourselves and those around us. True health isn’t just physical – it’s emotional, mental, and spiritual too. Taking time to rest, talk, and reconnect is not a luxury, it’s essential. 💚

How are you really feeling today?

New weight loss drugs are creating dramatic results, but the research is still very new. While they seem to help in certain cases, studies are now raising concerns about how much of that “weight loss” may actually be muscle loss, with some findings suggesting up to 40%.

This is why we always need to look beyond quick fixes and think about the long-term impact on our health. Sustainable changes that protect muscle and metabolism are key.

What do you think – should we be cautious with these new medications, or do the benefits outweigh the risks? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

True wellness isn’t just physical. It’s about creating harmony in every part of your life.

🩼 If they're not for you, there are natural ways to raise GLP-1 and experience many of the same benefits.

One of the most effective ways is fasting. Research shows that GLP-1 levels rise with intermittent fasting, whether that’s time-restricted eating (like skipping breakfast to extend your overnight fast) or alternate-day fasting. These approaches can support weight, blood sugar balance, and appetite regulation. Without medication!

Have you tried intermittent fasting before? I’d love to hear how it worked for you 👇

Did you know Vitamin D isn't just for your bones? It plays a vital role in your immune system, mood, energy levels, hormone balance, and even your ability to fight off infections. Yet so many of us are unknowingly deficient, especially in the UK, where sunshine is in short supply! 🌥️

I’ve written a full blog on why Vitamin D is essential for your health and how to make sure you're getting enough of it; naturally and safely.

This weekend, try leaving your phone in another room at night and see how your sleep and mindset shift.

✨ Swap your phone for a simple alarm clock
✨ Charge your phone overnight outside the bedroom
✨ Read a book, stretch, or journal before bed instead of scrolling

Why it matters:
Reduces blue light exposure that disrupts melatonin
Lowers stress by creating boundaries from constant notifications
Helps you wind down naturally and sleep more deeply
Encourages a calmer, more intentional start to your day

It’s a small change, but I’ve seen such a difference in my energy and mood when I do this consistently.

Will you give it a go this weekend?

We often think of illnesses like cancer or heart disease as things that suddenly “happen” to us. But the truth is, they can be developing silently for 20, 30, even 50 years before we see the signs.

That’s why it’s so important to start caring for your health early, even in your 30s and 40s, so you can prevent the conditions that set the stage for disease later in life. Take a look around your own family history too – it can give powerful clues about what to focus on.

Do you ever think about prevention now for your future health? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

One of the most common questions I get right now is about the injections for weight loss. These medications are semaglutide/GLP-1 injections: Usually Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro.

These drugs can be effective for weight loss, but what we don’t yet have is a clear picture of their long-term impact. That’s why I always encourage looking at the bigger picture; supporting your health naturally where possible and using medication thoughtfully.

In this video, I’m breaking down what you need to know about GLP-1 injections, the benefits, and the questions we still need to ask.

Have you heard much about these weight loss injections or do you know someone who’s tried them? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments 👇

There’s a huge body of research showing a strong connection between gluten and thyroid health. But it doesn’t stop there… gluten has also been linked to brain fog, balance issues, depression, anxiety, and even more surprising conditions like autism and schizophrenia.

This is such an important area that often gets overlooked, and it could make a real difference to how you feel day to day.

Have you ever noticed how gluten affects your own health? Share your experience in the comments, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
