Forget the rigid โ8 glasses a dayโ rule! ๐ซ
๐ง Hydration isnโt about hitting a specific number but about meeting your bodyโs needs. Factors like your activity level, your weight, the weather, and your overall health play a role. ๐ฆ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฆ
Water is crucial for bodily functions, but you donโt need to force yourself to drink exactly 8 glasses. Listen to your body and hydrate with water, herbal teas, and even water-rich foods like fruits and veggies. ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ
Donโt take it too far either, we see many clients drinking litres of water which is just flushing out all of their electrolytes! Not good.
The key is to stay hydrated throughout the day, not just hit a number. ๐งโจ

Spoiler alert: they're not! ๐ซ๐
Carbs aren't the enemy; it's all about the type and amount you eat. Low-carb diets like Atkins, Carnivore & Keto might offer quick results, but they can lead to long-term health issues like metabolic disruption, shrinked microbiome and nutrient deficiencies. ๐ฉบ๐ฅด
Carbs are vital for energy, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. ๐พ๐
๐ฅฆ Think whole grains, fruits, and veggies โ these high-quality carbs are your friends!
Instead of cutting them out, choose nutrient-dense options and eat mindfully. ๐๐ฅ

THIS is why you need to supplement with zinc picolinate! ๐จ๐จ
A groundbreaking study in the journal Agents Actions reveals the TRUTH about zinc absorption! ๐ฅ
Researchers compared the absorption rates of different forms of zinc by measuring levels in hair, skin, and urine.
Guess what? Zinc picolinate outshined zinc citrate and zinc gluconate by FAR! ๐คฏ
After just FOUR weeks, subjects taking zinc picolinate showed a dramatic increase in zinc levels, while those on zinc citrate, zinc gluconate, or a placebo saw NO CHANGE. ๐ฑ
Zinc picolinate can boost your immune system, support healthy skin, enhance wound healing, and improve cognitive function! ๐
Donโt let your body miss out on this essential mineral! Our DEF supplement contains the superior zinc picolinateโensuring you get the best absorption for maximum benefits! ๐ช

Understanding metabolism is crucial for improving overall health and wellness. ๐ฟ
While itโs true that men generally have quicker metabolisms and that metabolism slows with age, there's more to it.
Metabolism involves all the chemical reactions that sustain life, converting nutrients and oxygen into energy for essential functions. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) represents the energy needed for these functions and is influenced by gender, age, body shape, and genetics.

Your dermatologist might be missing the bigger picture when it comes to your skin issues.
๐ฎ Meds and creams can mask the problem, but they rarely address the root cause. Functional medicine dives deeper, linking adult acne, rashes, and premature ageing to gut health, liver function, hormone imbalances, and even stress. ๐ฟโจ

Antibiotics: Lifesavers or Silent Killers? ๐๐ค
While theyโre essential for serious infections, the overuse is wreaking havoc on our gut health and fueling a crisis of antibiotic resistance.
Is Big Pharma prioritising profits over our well-being by pushing these drugs for minor issues? ๐ ๐ธ We need to rethink how we treat infections and protect our delicate gut flora.
The balance of our microbiome is crucial for overall health, and disrupting it has long-term consequences.

4 Signs of Adrenal Fatigue ๐ฟ
Adrenal fatigue can sneak up on you, leading to a total system crash. Shockingly, nearly 80% of adults experience adrenal fatigue at some point in their lives. Here are four key signs to watch out for:
๐ฌ๏ธ Allergies, Asthma & Breathing Issues: Low cortisol can lead to inflammation, worsening allergies and asthma.
๐ค Recurrent Infections: A weakened immune system from low cortisol makes it hard to fight off infections.
๐ผ Melasma: Hormonal imbalances from stress can cause skin discolouration.
๐ฝ๏ธ Digestive Issues: Excessive cortisol initially suppresses digestion, leading to chronic problems as levels drop.
Suspect adrenal fatigue? Our lab tests can help:
๐งช Comprehensive Hormonal Lab Test: Offers a great option for foundation testing of female or male hormonal status. Youโll be able to check your s*x hormones and your cortisol levels throughout the day, which will help evaluate the health of your diurnal rhythm and therefore adrenal health.
Take steps to rebuild your adrenal health and restore balance. ๐

Should You Eat Meat? ๐ฅฉ๐ฑ Amidst the heated debate, let's dive into the science and consider our health implications.

WAITโฆ Did you know that 68% of Brits have low Vitamin D?
Did you also know that obtaining enough high-quality Vitamin D through your diet or sunshine alone can be quite the challenge?
Letโs dive into some surprising sources that can help you boost those crucial levels:
โ๏ธSunshine
๐Wild Salmon & Sardines
๐ฐ๐ฅAlmond Milk (Fortified)
๐๐กPortobello + Cremini Mushrooms (Exposed to UV Light)
๐ฃCod Liver
๐Vitamin D3 Capsules or Vegan Alternatives
The majority of people we test for Vitamin D levels are deficient unless theyโre supplementing! ๐ฒ Symptoms of deficiency can range from fatigue to weakened immunity!
๐ฅ Take Action! ๐ฅ Obtaining enough high-quality Vitamin D through your diet or sunshine alone can be difficult, if not impossible! Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin by direct sunlight exposure, making it challenging in colder seasons or places like the UK. Itโs also only found in a small number of foods - which are predominantly animal sources.
These two primary factors contribute to a common worldwide deficiency.
Donโt let the lack of sunshine or limited food sources hold you back!
Unravelling the myth of milk for strong bones! ๐ฅ
Did you know that the idea of needing milk for bone health is rooted in a government-backed marketing campaign? ๐คฏ
Archaeological evidence suggests that human bone health declined after the incorporation of dairy as a staple food group. Fast forward to recent studies, and itโs intriguing to note that countries with the highest osteoporosis rates often have the highest milk consumption.
Could the protein content in cowโs milk, three times that of human milk, be a factor?
Delving deeper, excessive cowโs milk intake is believed to acidify the bodyโs pH, prompting a biological correction that sacrifices calcium from bones to neutralise acidity. Countries with high dairy consumption also tend to have a high meat intake, hinting at a broader correlation.
It is time to reconsider our nutritional choices and explore a more tailored approach to bone health. ๐ฑ๐ช

More women are choosing non-hormonal options as the undeniable truth about the impact of hormonal birth control on health spreads.
