🧬 Peptide science 🧬
Once peptides are reconstituted, most remain stable for up to ~28 days
🗓️
Here’s what’s happening
👇
🔬 Reconstitution introduces water → increased risk of hydrolysis
🧪 Peptide bonds can slowly break down, reducing bioactivity

🦠 Longer storage = higher contamination risk

❄️ Refrigeration (~2–8°C) slows chemical degradation
Bottom line: use within the stability window to maintain structural integrity & potency

🍽️ Fuel Matters on GLP-1s 💉
If you’re using a GLP-1 medication, what you eat matters just as much as the medication itself.
Many of the side effects people experience aren’t from the drug — they’re from poor nutrition.
🥩 Protein is essential
GLP-1s reduce appetite, which makes it easy to under-eat, especially protein. Without enough protein, your body struggles to maintain muscle, energy, and metabolism.
⚠️ Poor nutrition can lead to:
• Fatigue 😴
• Nausea & dizziness 🤢
• Hair loss 💇‍♀️
• Muscle loss 💪
• Slower progress 📉
✅ Prioritize real, nourishing foods:
• High-quality protein at every meal 🥩🍳🐟
• Whole foods over ultra-processed 🍎🥦
• Adequate fluids & electrolytes 💧
✨ GLP-1s are a powerful tool — but they work best when paired with proper nutrition.
Eat with intention. Protect your body. Support your results. 💙

Returning to work Monday 12th January ✨
📖 Bookings and enquiries are now open 📩
During my time away 🇹🇭 I had the opportunity to further develop my skills, where massage is often referred to as “lazy yoga” 🧘‍♀️ — due to the assisted stretches and therapeutic positioning used throughout treatments 💆‍♀️

Even after over a decade in practice ⏳, it’s been valuable to refine existing techniques and learn new approaches
👀🙌
I look forward to welcoming you back soon
🤍
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year

🌟 What Are Peptides? 💉✨

Peptides are tiny but powerful molecules made up of short chains of amino acids 🔗 — the same building blocks that make up proteins 💪

Think of them as the messengers 📩 in your body that tell your skin, muscles, and cells what to do! 👇

I get asked a lot if I still provide Personal Training sessions?

I still provide limited sessions
(Daytime Only).
💪
I will be taking a small number of clients on in the new year 40 years and over.

Why 40 +????

In your 20s & 30s it’s results first & injury management second.
In your 40s it’s the opposite !!!!

Drop me a DM if you want to get back on track in 2025
