Inflammation Detox: Can You Snooze Your Way To Better Health?

Despite the huge strides the wellness industry has made over the last decade, the significance of sleep on our health is still frequently downplayed. While we acknowledge its benefits a lot more than we did, it’s often overshadowed by our emphasis on diet and exercise, presuming them to be more impactful on our well-being. However, emerging research is underscoring the vital role of sleep in regulating inflammation, a key factor in maintaining overall health.

Here’s the deal: Apparently a bunch of us out there aren’t getting the quality sleep we need, with nearly half of Brits admitting to lousy sleep habits. And guess what? This lack of shut-eye doesn’t just leave us feeling groggy; it also cranks up the inflammation levels in our bodies.

And speaking of inflammation, when it sticks around for the long haul, it can cause all sorts of trouble, from persistent health grumbles to major disease and illness. Experts believe it to be the root cause of a lot of issues. But even though we know this, a whopping 72% of people aren’t doing much to tackle inflammation head-on, which just keeps the cycle of feeling blah going.

Here’s the kicker: chronic inflammation isn’t just about feeling tired or achy; it can mess with our overall health and happiness in sneaky ways. So, while the symptoms might seem all over the place and not connected, they’re actually linked by one common culprit: inflammation throwing our bodies off balance without us even realising it.

Here are some things to look out for if you think you might be suffering from chronic inflammation… 

Frequent Illnesses: Individuals experiencing chronic inflammation may find themselves falling ill more frequently than usual. This susceptibility to infections and illnesses reflects the compromised state of the immune system, which struggles to mount an effective defence against pathogens. 

Hormonal Imbalances: For women, chronic inflammation can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to irregular menstrual cycles, exacerbated premenstrual symptoms and fertility issues. These hormonal fluctuations, driven by inflammation, can significantly impact reproductive health and overall quality of life.

Skin Issues: Chronic inflammation often manifests visibly through skin issues such as acne, eczema or psoriasis. These inflammatory skin conditions, characterised by redness, irritation and breakouts, underscore the systemic nature of inflammation and its outward effects on physical appearance.

Digestive Disturbances: Inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract can manifest as digestive issues, including bloating, constipation or diarrhoea. These symptoms may be indicative of underlying inflammation affecting gut health, exacerbating discomfort and impacting nutrient absorption.

Mood Swings and Cognitive Decline: Chronic inflammation can also influence mental health, contributing to mood swings, irritability and cognitive decline. Brain fog, memory problems and difficulty concentrating may arise as inflammation disrupts neural pathways and neurotransmitter function.

While lifestyle choices and diet play significant roles in inflammation, the impact of sleep cannot be overstated. But before you start piling on those lie-ins, know that studies indicate that oversleeping, exceeding 10 hours per night, can actually exacerbate inflammation, disrupting the body’s delicate balance. Who’d have thought?

To combat inflammation effectively, it’s crucial to prioritise quality sleep. Dr. Miriam Ferrer emphasises the importance of maintaining a healthy sleep routine, alongside dietary adjustments and stress management strategies. Aligning with the body’s natural circadian rhythm, characterised by consistent sleep patterns, helps regulate inflammation levels and promotes overall well-being.

Supplements like turmeric and other lifestyle adjustments recommended by experts such as Aidan Goggins offer additional support in the fight against inflammation. From adding lots of spices to your diet, reducing stress and eliminating HPF (highly processed foods), these practical tips complement the overarching goal of promoting restorative sleep and reducing inflammation burden.

By recognising the profound impact of sleep on inflammation and adopting proactive measures to enhance sleep quality, individuals can take significant strides towards better health outcomes.

Sadie’s March Wellness Must-Haves

Spring is so close I can smell it – quite literally – my kitchen is filled with potted daffodils and hyacinths all of which have started to bloom at long last.  This month, my wellness must-haves include some of the people I have at hand to help me feel my absolute best, as well as three hero products that have helped heal my eczema. And because I always treat myself to a new pair of kicks come Spring I have also shared with you my faves that are in the shops right now.

My Little Black Book of Experts

NO-TOX ANTIAGING FACIAL

Beata Aleksandrowicz

Beata Aleksandrowicz should have her hands insured. She has a unique touch when it comes to facial massage and healing that I have never experienced before. Her treatments are as healing as they are effective – expect to come out looking ten years younger – she refers to this as her inner botox method. But with a waitlist over 6 months long, Beata has found a way to bring her unique Face Therapy concept to a wider global audience with a series of online Masterclasses. The series includes eight individual classes (£35 each) which encompass lymphatic drainage, massage secrets to smooth “time-lines” as she refers to them and techniques to lift, open, relax and firm muscles to reveal younger-looking skin.

ONLINE YOGA QUEEN

Annie Clarke

After returning to work full-time following the birth of her first son, Annie Clarke has relaunched her online yoga studio, The Practice – which focuses on a holistic approach to wellness. I’ve known Annie for years – and can vouch for what a wonderful person and yoga teacher she is – I just know that this relaunch is going to be brilliant and perfect for anyone trying to incorporate yoga into their lifestyle. 

HORMONE EXPERTS

Hertility

If you want to find out what’s going on under the hood of your hormones, then look no further than to Hertility – a brand that is focused on getting to the bottom of what is going on with your hormones. Their at-home hormone and fertility test has provided answers for many women who had questions about conceiving, general hormone health and menopause. Founder and CEO, Dr Helen O’Neil says “We have spent years researching reproductive health and hormones to create a clinically validated diagnostic solution powered by a unique set of algorithms to provide answers for every person, no matter what stage they’re at.”

SPRING SNEAKERS

3 Things That Have HUGELY Helped my Eye Eczema

About two and half months ago I suddenly developed eczema around one of my eyes, after another month it had spread to both eyes. Although I have never had any facial eczema, I wasn’t entirely surprised to see it – mainly because I had just been through an intense and very stressful period of life. The doctors prescribed steroids, which worked a dream, until I stopped using them. You can only use steroids for a very short period of time or it can have lasting damaging effects. So, I started down the road of finding holistic solutions. Of course I needed to get on top of the stress – which I am doing slowly but surely. But I also needed to address the eye eczema topically as well. I can happily report that after about 2 weeks of consistent use of the below my eczema is showing signs of abating (thank god). Here’s what I am using:

Forest Spa Finland Nordic Adaptogen Serum

Experts in Nordic Skin Wellness, Forest Spa only have a few products but they are mighty. Their serum is pretty incredible, and when I told their Founder, Daniel, about the amazing success I had with it he wasn’t surprised “The serum has 2 particular adaptogens – Cloudberry extract and Sea Buckthorn oil, which are amazing skin healers and anti inflammatories. The Birch Sap base helps moisture barrier building to support the repair process.”

Current Body LED Mask

I’m not normally a huge fan of facial tools but this one has absolutely changed the game for me – my face benefits hugely from just a few sessions. I find that the LED helps make spots or blemishes heal faster, improves my overall tone and calms any inflammation – including my eczema. I could not love it more!

Wildsmith Skin Super Hydrating Overnight Mask

I was testing this out for our awards and am so happy to have stumbled across it – the product soothes irritation, improves moisture and protects against oxidative stress – and this is absolutely evident in my skin. I love it so much that I use it morning and night as my skin just drinks it up. Its anti-redness complex contains ginger, turmeric and probiotics and these have had a great impact on my eczema.


From Plant-Based Easter Treats To Mushroom-Spiked Coffee: What To Add To Cart This Month

This March there’s an exciting array of new food and drink items hitting the shelves! From delectable plant-based Easter treats to organic chocolates that will satisfy your sweet cravings, this round-up has something for everyone. Discover a new pasta brand that will elevate mid-week meals and mushroom-spiked coffee for a unique caffeinated experience.


Editor’s Notes: What To Buy, DIY & Try In Wellness Right Now

March is here!! Hello Spring and see’ya later Winter! Spring is such a glorious time of year and when it comes to physical and mental wellness, it provides a boost on all fronts which is much-needed after enduring a long, cold season. As the days stretch longer I’m looking forward to taking my workouts al fresco, adding a dose of spring to my recipe repertoire and looking ahead to summer holiday plans!

Lululemon Groove Pants

I’m still obsessed with my Lulu Aligns but a newcomer into my workout wardrobe is the Groove Pant. They’ve got a little flare with all the same buttery softness of the aligns and they’re not only perfect for workouts but they transition incredibly well into a casual weekend outfit where you want to prioritise comfort and still look kinda cute. I pair them with black converse, an oversized crew neck and a cosy coat for a simple winter weekend look. I do workout in them also, I promise!

Daylesford’s Soups launch in M&S

Two of my favourite food brands have collided and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Daylesford have just announced their delicious soups and broths will be available in selected M&S foodhalls and I hope it’s the start of a bigger partnership. Daylesford’s soups are fantastic if you need a quick and nourishing meal, whislt their broths serve as a great base for recipes like risotto. I love their Butternut, Honey & Sage Soup for an easy WFH lunch (alongside some toasted sourdough) and their Chicken Bone Broth with Ginger & Greens for those days when you’ve been struck down by a cold. 

A 15-min dinner that packs some pea-power

I bloody love peas. They may be a basic little veg but honestly, I can’t stop eating them. If there’s a shortage of peas in the UK, it’s because I’m buying them all! I want to find new ways to consume them and Green Kitchen Stories have the perfect recipe for solo dining evenings when the hubs is working late. Pasta. Check. Peas. Check. Goodness. Check, check! Give this Greenest One-Pot Pasta a whirl… with the addition of Cavolo Nero, Broccoli, Basil and Mint, I think this recipe is a true celebration of all things green! 

Post-work tread sessions

Our Echelon Stride Tread is getting a whole lotta love and I’m super happy about it! I’m a bit controversial in that I prefer fitting in my exercise AFTER my working day is done (I’m so not a morning person) and the tread has been a great addition to our home. I love everything from a good power incline walk whilst watching a youtube vid or listening to one of my favourite podcasts. For when I want to run, a set of sprint intervals with a high-energy playlist is just what I need to finish my day with a bang. I’m sure it’ll get a little less use in the summer as I take my workouts outdoors but it’s been a god-send over the colder months of the year. 

Day Experience at Thyme’s Meadow Spa

There are many wonderful spa hotels in the UK (we’re really spoilt for choice!) but I have a soft spot for one that sometimes flies under the radar. Thyme’s Meadow Spa may not be the biggest, wide-ranging facility compared to others, but it’s got a peacefulness that I’m really drawn to. Set in the grounds of Thyme (a true gem of The Cotswolds), Meadow Spa is inspired by it’s nature-filled surroundings and partners with Aurelia London (a H&H fave) for it’s skin treatments. I have a Mr & Mrs Smith voucher to use from Christmas and I might earmark a stay combined with one of their heavenly day spa experiences this summer. I fancy the Bertioli Experience which consists of a Nurture, Breathe and Restore treatment (with Bertioli products of course!) followed by lunch in the Orchid House and use of their outdoor pool. Hello Summer sunbathing! Bertioli is Thyme’s own brand and their signature scent “Water Medow” is to die for. I’ve currently got their hand wash and hand lotion sat proudly next to my sink and I can’t think of anything more delightful than a whole body treatment with this scent.  

Skin+Me Brighten + Boost Regulating Vitamin C Serum

I’ve spoken previously about my love for Skin+Me (in case you don’t know, they provide prescription-grade personalised skin topicals from dermatologists, cutting out the expensive middle man) and they’ve recently launched their Brighten + Boost Regulating Vitamin C Serum which is very exciting. I’ve tried vitamin C before and my sensitive skin didn’t get on well but with 12 months of Skin+Me under my belt, my rosacea is well under control and I feel ready to try again. The benefits of vitamin C for the skin are plentiful so I’m thrilled a brand I trust has release a serum that will work with my skin.

Hip & Healthy Guide To Copenhagen

Despite its relatively small size, this Scandinavian city is full of nourishing health cafés, vegetarian fine dining restaurants, inspiring studios and rejuvenating spas and hotels to recharge at. Spend a weekend in Copenhagen and indulge in all its wellness spots – we have the full list of the gems to pursue for treating mind, body, and soul. Enjoy everything from Kundalini yoga, reformer classes, infrared saunas and Ayurvedic treatments, to fresh juices, health stores, and ceremonial cacao sessions.

STAY & RECHARGE

If you want to treat yourself during your visit, the iconic Hotel d’Angleterre in the heart of the city, just by Nyhavn is a beloved favourite. This 5-star hotel was established in 1755 and embodies a perfect balance between historic luxury and contemporary design. Recharge in their incredibly comfortable beds, relish incredible food at their Michelin-starred Restaurant Marchal, and make sure to pamper yourself in their spa Amazing Space where you’ll find a fitness centre and indoor swimming pool, as well as a wide range of outstanding spa services.

Another gorgeous hotel with a prime location (right by Tivoli Gardens) is Nobis Hotel Copenhagen. Modern, stylish, and located in a building from 1903, this is another lovely hideaway in the middle of the city where Scandinavian minimalism meets historic atmosphere. The rooms are carefully designed and decorated in earthy tones and you’ll find delectable dishes at their restaurant NOI. Last, but not least, Audo is an interior design lover’s dream and you’ll find an incredible shop showcasing a stunning range of furniture, an amazing restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as the loveliest hotel rooms in this hybrid space.
Indulge in their exquisite matcha and avocado tartine, then ascend to one of the serene rooms upstairs. Here, you’ll discover a haven adorned with luxurious amenities such as Frama’s signature body and hair care products in the bathroom, and the embrace of sumptuously soft, organic bed linen from Aiayu.

For total relaxation and disconnection for body and mind, booking Aire Ancient Baths is a must. This incredible spa is located in the former Carlsberg factory where the original features from the iconic and ancient building have been restored and fused with the magical atmosphere and concept of Aire. Come and experience the different baths or book a treatment (we recommend their Holistic Ritual, which combines an exfoliation with body massage and hair treatment). House of Salt is another tranquil relaxation oasis where you find salt therapy (which may help ease allergy symptoms, asthma, colds, skin problems, etc.), infrared saunas, as well as “H2 treatment”, where hydrogen-rich water helps detox the cells. Escaping the city buzz is also possible at the beautiful sanctuary called Arndal, which is a stylish fitness centre and spa. Enjoy a cup of homemade ginger tea as you enter the oasis, go for a workout in the well-equipped gym, and unwind with a soothing massage, a sweaty sauna session, or a refreshing facial afterwards. If you really want to go all in on your spa experience, make sure to book a little getaway at Kurhotel Skodsborg, which is an excellent spa hotel just north of Copenhagen City. Enjoy 16 different bathing experiences, saunas, sea dips and spa services ranging from classic massages and facials to manicures and detox treatments.

EAT

Even though we are waiting for one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Scandinavia, Gemyse at Hotel Nimb, to re-open, the city offers many other plant-based gems that are worth checking out when you want a healthy and delicious bite. Located in an old warehouse in Østerbro with a delectable vegetarian cuisine, Veve is the spot for your dinner out. Make sure to reserve a table in advance, or you will have to join the waitlist for the around 30 seats in the Michelin-starred restaurant. A recommendation is definitely to try their 6-course menu, and a big plus is that it’s possible to pair it with alcohol-free beverages as well. A similar plant-based favourite in the middle of Copenhagen’s old Latin quarter is Vækst. Centered around a greenhouse with lush plants in every corner, we love the atmosphere as much as the delicious menu (we love the salt-baked celery).

Great options for breakfast or lunch are the favourites Atelier September and Apollo Bar. A must-try at Atelier September is their yoghurt with granola, zucchini jam, and matcha and we also love the grapefruit with mint. The fresh goat cheese toast with wild blueberry compote, roasted pumpkin with tahini, as well as the sourdough bread at Apollo Bar are some highlights to order as well. For a healthy breakfast or lunch on the go, head to 42Raw and Palæo for the best açai bowls, smoothies, juices, salads, and plant-based burgers. Order the lemon or strawberry juice together with a wrap from Palæo and make sure to get the matcha bowl or the pancakes at 42Raw – you won’t be disappointed! Another great spot specialising in bowls (especially porridges) is Grød, where you find everything from sweet smoothie bowls to filling oatmeal porridges and savoury risottos. Sonny is a favourite café where you find great matcha lattes and an excellent avocado on rye bread that shouldn’t be missed.

EXERCISE

The city’s most beautiful Pilates studio is undoubtedly Studio 41, which is an exclusive private studio where you find both reformer and mat classes in addition to postnatal- and private sessions. A wide range of Pilates classes can also be found at Pilates Cph and LineLine – Pilates. If you want a mix of Pilates and yoga, try Ohmyoga, which is an exclusive yoga and reformer studio in the heart of the city. Two other favourites for all yogis are Power Yoga Copenhagen and The Yoga Flat in Christianshavn, where you can choose between meditations, slow yin flows, ashtanga, breathwork, sweaty power vinyasa and more. We also love Kalio Yoga where all classes are in English and 200-hour teacher trainings, as well as workshops, courses, and events are offered too. For Bali- and LA-vibes, head to YUM Yoga & Café and combine grounding flows with organic and healthy bites, and to escape the cold completely, book a hot vinyasa or warm yin at Dottir Hot Yoga and enjoy the infrared heated studio. If you’re in Hellerup, Yoga Factory on Strandvejen, where you also find chiropractors, nutritionists, and healers, is a must-visit. BeYogi is a lovely studio focusing a lot on women and kids, offering both pre- and postnatal classes, kids classes, baby yoga, and more. For an exciting experience including blue light and a musical journey, head to Rive Gauche for rhythm-based yoga.

For a sweaty HIIT session, you can find a Barry’s in town, and we also love Nordic Strong in Nordhavn where you find a wide range of classes daily. For Ayurvedic treatments and other healing methods like reiki, as well as kundalini, candlelight sound baths and yin classes with ceremonial cacao, check out the amazing studio NAYA CPH in Frederiksberg. Last, but definitely not least, One Thirty Labs is a mandatory stop for every wellness-lover. This modern health- and longevity studio offers a selection of carefully curated treatments, like cryo therapy, infrared saunas, LED light therapy, compression therapy, meditation pods, hydrogen inhalation therapy, and more. Moreover, you also find dance classes, breathwork, yoga, and different membership options that include both classes and treatments.

SHOP

Helsemin and Helsam are two great health stores where you find everything from organic snacks, food, and drinks, to skincare, books and cleaning supplies. If you’re looking for a great farmer’s market experience, Torvehallerne is where to go. The best tea can be found at the iconic A.C. Perch, which has been around since 1835 and is hence the oldest tea shop in the city. A must is to try their famous “White Temple” which both locals and tourists line up for. The fruity and sweet, yet very healthy, blend of both white and green tea is so delicious and works for any occasion. Make sure to stop by Soul Books and browse through all the spirituality books and crystals stacked on the shelves. In addition to beautiful furniture and other home goods, you find the famous natural body- and hair care products at Frama Studio Store. It’s pretty much impossible to leave empty-handed, and two favourites are the body oil and the Herbarium Shampoo.

Why I Move… With Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence

Introducing ‘Why I Move,’ a fresh series dedicated to chatting with individuals within the health and wellness space. We’ll delve into their motivations for exercise, explore the origins of their passion for fitness, discuss how they integrate exercise into their lifestyles, and, above all, discover the driving force behind their movement!

Debuting our new series, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr Frankie Jackson-Spence, a medical doctor who also happens to be a personal trainer. Dr Frankie is not only a familiar face on television as a medic but also hosts the popular podcast Vision of Health. Between her commitments as an NHS doctor, maintaining her social media presence, and gracing the screens as a media personality, Dr Frankie kicks off our series by discussing her connection with movement, how she navigates exercise amidst her busy career, and her preferred ways to stay active.

Why do you move?

Like many people, I originally got into exercising to get my body into better shape. But quickly the motivation for that wears off and I continued exercising because of the mental benefits. I found at medical school, that if I felt stressed or overwhelmed, taking myself out on a run and getting some fresh air, or going to the gym helped me switch off from my busy to-do list for an hour or so, and became a form of mindfulness! This has continued into my working life, and I find taking an hour to myself each day gives me some ‘me time’ before a busy day giving my energy to others and to my patients.

What are some of your earliest recollections of physical activity as a child?

I have always been active and used to do every club at school. My earliest memories are playing tennis with my brother using a makeshift tennis net in the back garden! I still regularly play tennis now! 

What type of movement do you regularly incorporate into your routine?

I like functional training so I do a variety. It’s important to remember any form of exercise and movement will benefit your health. I regularly go out running and usually am always training for an event such as a half marathon. I do F45 a few times a week which I love as it is the perfect hybrid of resistance and cardiovascular training. I also play tennis at least once a week. I think we really neglect sports! I love making my workouts social so you’ll also catch me doing Reformer pilates classes with friends. 

How do you prioritise your fitness around your demanding career as an NHS doctor?

I get up early and fit my training in before work. I find leaving it to the evening is difficult as if I’m in clinic, I can finish at erratic times. I prefer having a few hours in the morning to wake up and invest some time into myself before the day starts.

What motivates you to exercise? 

I do it for that post-workout fuzzy feeling! It really energises me and sets me up for the day. I tend to do a longer run on a weekend and I will usually do this with a friend, knowing there is a proper coffee and a crispy almond croissant waiting for me at the end! 

If you’re feeling a bit low or your energy isn’t there, do you push through a workout or do you consider prioritising rest instead?

It depends, sometimes when it’s dark, cold and miserable outside, it can be difficult to get up to work out. In these moments, you can’t rely on motivation, but instead on habit and routine. I’m pretty good at being honest with myself and knowing if it’s a motivation issue, or if I genuinely need to recover. Recovery is just as important as our training and sometimes it is important to prioritise rest and get a few extra hours sleep! On these days, I will still move my body by making sure I get out on a walk at lunchtime or after work, as my job can be quite sedentary. 

What is your favourite exercise class? 

My favourite for the last 5 years is F45 Stratford – the energy in the studio is unmatched and because of this, I never feel like I’ve had a bad workout and I’ve never gotten bored. I also enjoy Reformer pilates and my favourites are Psycle, Oxford Circus and Strong, Islington. I also really rate the running app Runna, which I use to program my running.

What are the workout essentials that help you stay on track?

I think it’s more about having a membership and community. I see the same faces in my F45 classes each morning, and they have now become friends. Knowing they will be there motivates me! I also love tracking my runs on my Garmin Venu 3 and I’ve recently become really interested in tracking my sleep and recovery stats on the device. 

What is your go-to meal post-workout?

As women it’s really important we fuel our workouts properly, to ensure we don’t inappropriately spike our stress hormones. My favourite post-workout treat is an almond croissant, but I save that for the weekend. Mid week I will make overnight oats or porridge, with chunky rolled organic oats for carbohydrate repletion, some thick creamy green yoghurt for extra protein, almond butter to slow digestion and blueberries and a seed mix sprinkle to feed my gut microbiome! 

When you’re stuck in a fitness rut, what’s your top piece of advice for getting back on track?

Make it easy! If you’re completely out of the routine, completely overhauling your life to get back into training regularly can be difficult. Instead, try and rebuild the routine up by making it easy. For example, if I go to an F45 class, I have to factor in travel there and back, and packing my bag to get ready for work. Whereas running is easier as I can start and finish at my doorstep, so the process takes less planning. Starting with the easier option here is a good way to get back into it and re-form a consistent routine. Committing to working out with a friend can also help as it keeps you accountable. 

As a doctor and a PT, what way do you see exercise impacting people’s mental health?

Exercise is hugely beneficial for our mental health and well-being, and I recommend staying active to all my patients. Exercise causes the release of neurotransmitters in our brain like dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin, which improves food and reduces feelings of anxiety. Long-term, regular exercise has been shown to be both protective against mental health conditions and also is a really effective treatment for established conditions. I think there are so many benefits to exercise that we can’t necessarily see – whether that be improved mental well-being, improved physiological parameters such as glucose levels or cholesterol, reduced risk of many diseases, and so from a health perspective, a ‘bad workout’ quite literally doesn’t exist!

What’s New In The World Of Wellness This March

As we enter the month of March, the world of wellness rolls out a variety of newness across the board. From glowing bodycare to a high-spec strength studio, anti-ageing facials and sustainable sexual wellbeing, we’re sharing the latest launches in health, wellness and fitness this month.

Mayfair’s Strength & Conditioning Studio

Set in a basement studio just off New Bond Street, Dabbs Fitness is the boutique strength and conditioning gym in Mayfair. Tailored to personal training and small group training, founder James Dabbs opened the space to enable everyone who books a one-to-one or group session to train like an athlete, with elite performance guidance as standard. Inside the intimate fitness hub is all the kit necessary for strength and conditioning in a sleek matte black finish. Personal training is initiated with a bespoke assessment to determine any ailments and establish a realistic plan that suits your lifestyle and goals. Group sessions are limited to 8 people to keep a close eye on form and technique. Dabbs Fitness is geared towards strength, power and conditioning, which you’ll find integrated into PT sessions and group classes.

The Gold Standard Anti-Ageing Treatment

Skin Loft, the gem of beauty clinic in Kensington Olympia, is now offering the gold standard in anti-ageing facials! The JetPeel Facial is a non-invasive treatment that penetrates as deeply as needles. Using jet pressure energy to blast high-velocity jet streams of liquid micro-droplets, this high-tech kit is worth its weight in gold. Founder of SkinLoft, Daiva’s passion for effective non-invasive treatments is infectious, a consultation with her and you’ll be reconsidering botox. And that’s not because she deems tweakments ‘bad’, it’s just that Daiva can get a similar result without the need for needles! The facial gets underway with a manual lymphatic massage and skin prep. After a skin analysis, the JetPeel machine takes over commencing with a bespoke peel, followed by a tailored serum complex of peptides and hyaluronic acid, finished with an infusion of skin boosters. The JetPeel facial leaves the complexion instantly rejuvenated and visible glowing for days after just one treatment, but it’s worth noting that to exceed the best results regular treatments are recommended to combat the appearance of fine lines, sagging and dullness.

The Glowing Rainforest-Grown Bodycare Collection

Rainforest-grown beauty brand, Rahua is predominantly known for its pure ingredient haircare. Branching into bodycare, Rahua has launched the Body Glow Collection in the signature Enchanted Island™ scent. Including a body glow wash, serum and cream, the collection uses antioxidant-rich plant-derived formulas, supercharged with a plant-based collagen booster complex comprised of naturally sourced hyaluronic acid, achiote extract and Gotu Kola. Bursting with a divine tropical scent, these hardworking body care heroes promote skin radiance, protect the skin pre-and-post sun exposure and improve the overall condition of skin texture.

The Plant-Friendly Sexual Wellness Brand 

Making sex better and safer with a premium line of stylistically pleasing products, Luud Health is the sexual wellness brand striving to shake up the sector. Luud Health has set out to grant people permission to feel empowered, and sexually satisfied with intimate products. The ultra-thin condoms are designed to maximise sensation and are made with PETA-approved plant-based materials that are odourless. Likewise, the Luud Lube is also odourless, the non-sticky water-based lubricant is created for longer-lasting play with added CBD to promote relaxation. Luud also prides itself on promoting safety around sex, presenting a convenient at-home STI testing kit that tests for 6 infections with a follow-up to discuss your test results with a member of the nursing team.

The Ballet-Led Digital Platform Priotising Physical & Mental Health

Grace & Form is the trailblazing digital studio blending ballet, fitness and mental well-being practices, spearheaded by principal ballerina at New York City Ballet, Indiana Woodward and international award-winning trainer, best-selling author and former ballet dancer Saskia Gregson-Williams. Recognising the prevalent challenges dancers encounter, particularly the neglect of mental well-being over physical training, the founding duo set up to emphasise the mind-body connection with classes that cater for everybody from seasoned dancers to novices. Rewriting the narrative around body image in association with ballet dancing, the digital studio is a safe space to reignite or spark your love for dance, fostering healthy habits with mindful nuggets of wisdom to enhance your mental health.

The Cali-Born Pilates Studio Rolling Out Across The UK

Born on the cusp of the wellness boom back in 2007 in sunny California, Club Pilates puts a modernised twist on the classical Reformer-based Contrology Method, summoning 11 different pieces of equipment, including the EXO Chair, Bosu Ball, Triggerpoint, TRX and Barre. Bringing the Reformer fusion to London, Club Pilates has opened two locations in Bankside and Fulham, with future plans to roll out up to more studios across the UK. Club Pilates offers nine different formats integrating a mix of cardio, strength and interval style training at four levels, making there an obtainable option for everyone, as, let’s face it, Reformer Pilates is humbling and takes some time to grasp. Each session works the full body to improve your posture, strengthen your core and correct muscle imbalances, creating a strong foundation for movement in day-to-day life.

Folic Acid or Folate: Which Reigns Supreme for Prenatal Health? Expert’s Weigh In

Navigating the world of prenatal supplements can feel like navigating through a labyrinth, especially during conception and early pregnancy—a time already fraught with nerves and uncertainty. Amidst this whirlwind, the debate on folic acid or folate emerges, casting doubt on which form of this essential B vitamin is optimal for expecting mothers and their healthcare providers. As discussions intensify, factors like the MTHFR gene mutation and absorption concerns only add layers of complexity to the decision-making process. In this article, we’ve consulted with nutritional and fertility experts to lend their expertise and insights, delving into the differences between folic acid and folate, exploring their distinctiveness, their impact on pregnancy, and the evidence underpinning their effectiveness.

Understanding Folic Acid and Folate:

According to fertility expert Zita West, “There can be confusion around the difference between folic acid and folate as they are often used interchangeably.” She highlights the distinction between folate, the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9 found in various foods, and folic acid, its synthetic counterpart. Folic acid and folate are often used interchangeably, but they are not identical. Folate refers to the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9 found in foods such as leafy greens, legumes, and citrus fruits. On the other hand, folic acid is the synthetic form of this vitamin used in dietary supplements and fortified foods. While both forms serve the same biological function, their metabolic pathways differ, influencing how they are absorbed and utilised by the body. 

The MTHFR Gene Mutation:

A significant aspect of the folic acid vs. folate debate revolves around the MTHFR gene mutation. The MTHFR gene encodes an enzyme crucial for folate metabolism. Certain mutations in this gene, particularly the C677T and A1298C variants, are associated with reduced enzyme activity, potentially affecting the body’s ability to convert folic acid into its active form, methylfolate. This has led to speculation that individuals with MTHFR mutations may benefit more from supplementation with methylfolate rather than folic acid. 

West says “It is estimated that 40-60% of the population have a mutation in their gene which lowers the amount of MTHFR, meaning they have a reduced capacity to transform folic acid into the active form. These individuals may struggle to raise their folate levels to the recommended levels using a standard folic acid supplement. As it is not possible for everyone to test for this mutation, we chose to use a superior, active form of folate in our supplements, Quatrefolic. Quatrefolic is the active form of folate, readily available for transport and use in the human body and tissues. Quatrefolic doesn’t require conversation by the enzyme MTHFR and therefore, can effectively raise folate levels in all individuals.”

Absorption Concerns:

Another point of contention is the absorption of folic acid versus folate. Some argue that synthetic folic acid is less efficiently absorbed compared to naturally occurring folate, particularly in individuals with certain genetic variations or conditions affecting absorption. 

Megan Hallett specialises in women’s hormone health and nutrition, from endocrine and reproductive conditions such as PCOS, PMDD, endometriosis, hypothalamic amenorrhea, perimenopause and menopause and fertility/pregnancy. She explains “When working with preconception clients, my first step is to carefully assess their supplement routines. I prioritise swapping out folic acid, whether it’s standalone or included in a prenatal supplement, with methylated folates like methylfolate or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. This practice isn’t exclusive to preconception; I implement it with all my clients, recognising that the benefits of folate extend beyond pregnancy alone. Adequate folate levels are crucial for energy, hormone metabolism, cardiovascular health, and DNA synthesis. When I make this adjustment to someone’s supplement regimen, I emphasise that while folic acid and methylated folate are essentially the same, the latter is significantly preferred due to its high bioavailability and pre-existing biological activity.”

However, the extent of this difference and its clinical significance remain areas of ongoing research and debate.

Evidence and Recommendations:

Despite the ongoing discourse regarding the superiority of folate vs folic acid, it is essential to acknowledge the substantial body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of folic acid in preventing neural tube defects and promoting overall maternal and fetal health. For over three decades, public health initiatives have successfully implemented folic acid supplementation programs, leading to significant reductions in NTDs worldwide. The efficacy of folic acid in this regard is well-established and supported by numerous clinical trials and observational studies.

When it comes to prenatal nutrition, the debate between folic acid and folate persists, fueled by concerns over genetic factors like the MTHFR gene mutation and absorption differences. While these considerations warrant attention and further research, it is crucial not to discount the extensive evidence supporting the efficacy of folic acid. Ultimately, individualised healthcare approaches may be necessary to address the needs of pregnant women, taking into account genetic factors, dietary patterns, and clinical recommendations.

Is Endometriosis The Hidden Cause Of Your Persistent Tummy Troubles?

Women’s health and nutrition coach, Meghan Hallet, breaks down the so often undiagnosed condition that is Endometriosis along with the symptoms, route for diagnosis and treatment options.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, which is just fantastic. The awareness around this debilitating condition continues to grow and grow, however, it is essential to keep on spreading awareness, as the more we understand the condition, the closer we get to decreasing the time in which one receives a diagnosis, treatment and continued compassion. 

So, what is endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like cells appear outside of the uterine cavity, be it on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, bowel or bladder. Every month, similarly to the pattern of your monthly cycle, endometriosis becomes inflamed. Over time lesions can form and stick to certain areas resulting in reproductive issues, bowel or bladder problems. Symptoms include fatigue, painful sex, painful bowel movements or urinary issues, heavy bleeding and pelvic pain. Endometriosis affects a whopping 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the United Kingdom. 

Endometriosis shouldn’t be treated lightly and is so much more than a painful period. What’s more, many experience symptoms all cycle round, with links to gastrointestinal issue such as SIBO, histamine intolerance and chronic fatigue. The most frustrating part is that many still view it as simply a painful period, with 43% of patients making around 5 trips to A&E before receiving a diagnosis, taking an average of around 7.5 years from initial symptoms to diagnosis. 

Nutrition and Supplements
The conventional treatment is surgery to remove the endometriosis. It is essential that leading up to that point and from then on, those with the endo put a huge amount of emphasis on nutrition, smart supplementation and lifestyle practices, as it can be a highly effective way of supporting the condition. What’s more, once you’ve had surgery, patients will still need to actively work to ensure that they are focusing on supporting an anti-inflammatory environment and a well-functioning immune system. Whilst in an ideal world, surgery would be a cure-all, for some, it just isn’t the case and the endometriosis can still be present even afterwards.

Here are the basics of endometriosis management, however, it is so important to remember that everybody is different. The way we support endometriosis is hyper-individualised, so I highly recommend working with a professional who can create a plan and approach that is personal to you. If you are concerned about your symptoms, speak with your GP. 

Oestrogen Metabolism 
Supporting oestrogen detoxification and excretion is something everybody should be doing to support hormone health, but especially those with endometriosis. We want to be effectively bio-transforming toxins and hormones and sending them out the body in the healthiest way possible. 

This happens in three phases; phase one (biotransformation of the toxin/ hormone in the liver), phase two (conjugation of the toxin/ hormone in the liver) and phase three (excretion through urine or stools). Ensuring that this pathway is working optimally is key to preventing any potent, unfavourable oestrogen metabolites from recirculating back into the bloodstream and causing further problems. It is these oestrogen metabolites that can be a big driver of endometriosis and important to remember that even if overall oestrogen is low, still need to ensure it leaves the body in a healthy way. Here’s how to support oestrogen detoxification in the liver. 

  • B Complex (with methylated folate) as we require B vitamins for phase one liver detoxification as well as supporting cellular energy production. NutriAdvanced and Throne are great options. 
  • Amino Acids. Think quality protein or a collagen supplement. However, some find cutting down on red meat effective. 
  • Cruciferous veg and dark leafy greens. Most people can aim for 2 portions of cooked cruciferous veg daily. If you don’t react well to them, speak with a professional. 
  • Sulphur-rich foods, choline, glycine
  • NAC
  • Vitamin C and vitamin E, supporting antioxidant status. 
  • Tea: Dandelion, green tea, artichoke and burdock. 
  • Berries, lemon, avocado, asparagus and beetroot.
  • Keep on top of hydration throughout the day.
  • Limit alcohol + processed foods.
  • Consider functional testing such as DUTCH testing to give more of an insight into the way your body is processing hormones and toxins.

Supporting the gut is another piece of the oestrogen metabolism puzzle, as ultimately we want those hormone metabolites to leave the body. Lowering beta-glucuronidase activity (an enzyme that can send harmful metabolites back into the bloodstream) and supporting excretion of hormone metabolites and toxins is important to focus on every day. 

It isn’t uncommon to be experiencing gut issues with endometriosis, whether it’s a physical issue of endo tissue present on the bowels or dysbiosis. A stool test/ GI map can help you understand exactly what is going on in your gut and if it’s driving inflammation. You can then directly tackle the issue head-on rather than guessing. It can be expensive, however, so if it is not an option, work with a professional who understands your symptoms.

  • Slowly work on increasing fibre intake. If we add too much in one go, it could exacerbate painful bowel movements. Take it meal by meal. 
  • Consider a probiotic but work with a professional depending on symptoms. 
  • Support gut integrity with collagen, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin A. We want that gut lining to be lovely and strong. 
  • Support healthy stomach acid so that you can break down the key compounds in cruciferous vegetables, prevent bacterial overgrowth and optimise digestion. For this, we need optimal levels of vitamin B6 + zinc.

Immune Support 
Supporting the immune system is another essential pillar of managing endometriosis. Endometrial-like (remember, it is not the same) cells migrate outside of the uterus. Something is going on with the immune system if it hasn’t eliminated those cells, plus the body is usually in a high state of inflammation. We want to focus on those inflammatory pathways, supporting overall immune function and incorporating anti-inflammatory staples.

  • Vitamin C, zinc, copper and selenium are all key nutrients for immune function. You may want to consider an Immune support supplement that incorporates all these nutrients or increase intake via food. 
  • It’s a really good idea to get your Vitamin D levels checked, easily done via the GP or companies such as Medichecks. Supplement accordingly. 
  • Omega 3 supplementation (EPA dominant, around 1-1.4g) or opting for three portions of oily fish a week. Omega 3 prioritises that anti-inflammatory pathway and supports the body’s pain response.
  • Limit omega 6 (seed oils, processed foods, fried foods)
  • Incorporate anti-inflammatory staples daily, such as ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, colourful fruits and veggies. 
  • Prioritise rest, relaxation and self-care.
  • Limit refined sugars and refined carbohydrates.

Natural Pain Management 
Although it is key to implement the long-term changes that support the root cause of the problem, there are a number of tools and practices that can support and relieve pain in the moment.

  • A heating pad, tens machine or BeYou Monthly Patches
  • Omega 3, as already discussed. 
  • Turmeric, ginger, quercetin + bromelain (especially if histamine is an issue).
  • Chamomile, passionflower and lemon balm tea.
  • CBD oil + CBD balm.
  • Magnesium supplement and/or magnesium balm.
  • Breathwork sessions and mindfulness. 
  • Physical therapy and acupuncture.
  • Epsom salt baths.
  • Psychological support, such as speaking with a therapist well-versed in the field. One survey of endometriosis suffers revealed 90% would like access to psychological support as part of treatment. You’re not alone if this sounds like something you require.
