Low Libido
Approximately 60% of individuals have encountered low libido at some stage, often stemming from stress, anxiety, depression, low mood, lack of confidence, or parenthood. Sound familiar? You’re not alone, and fortunately, solutions like Roam’s Libido Supplements exist to lend a helping hand. Targeting stress-induced low libido, Roam has crafted gender-specific supplements to rekindle pleasure in relationships and enhance intimate well-being.
DOMS
At the beginning of year, everyone is back on the workout grind. Aside from the endorphin buzz and physical gains amalgamated at the gym, there’s also an unwelcomed byproduct- DOMS (aka delayed onset muscle soreness). If you’re introducing exercise for the first time or you’re getting back into training after a hiatus, you’ll be well acquainted with DOMS. There are a few fixes that can mitigate the stiffness and tenderness that we’ve found work wonders. First up, the Hyperice Normatec 3 Legs Compression Boots increase circulation and shift lactic acid to revive muscles and reduce swelling…its like employing a personal masseuse! Next requires your willpower to plunge into the Lumi Recovery Pod™. Cold water therapy is brutal, but so effective in reducing inflammation and speeding up the recovery process, plus it has a whole host of addition mental benefits too. And lastly, the oldest (& cheapest) trick in the book, stretch and foam roll at the end of every session, don’t be part of the crew that skip the cool down, its there for a reason!
Reiki For Cancer Patients
Selected cancer centres and hospices in the UK now provide free or low-cost Reiki for individuals with cancer. This Japanese form of energy healing is offered as a complementary therapy for cancer patients, aiming to alleviate emotional stress and tension. It assists individuals in coping with difficult situations and promotes relaxation by balancing the ‘energy fields’ in the body.
Supplement Pulsing
Ever wonder if the myriad pills and powders you swallow are truly effective? It might be time to consider supplement pulsing! This technique involves cycling with brief breaks. Our bodies can develop a tolerance to certain supplements, requiring increased volumes for the same effects. Allowing your body to take a break enhances absorption and effectiveness. Natural nootropics, like Dirtea’s Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder, can be pulsed for noticeably improved focus and overall cognitive health.
Fire & Ice Facial
The benefits of hot and cold therapy don’t stop at the mind and body, implement the techniques into a facial and the results are pretty spectacular. Head to ‘The Lab’ at Medi Spa Young LDN in Notting Hill to experience the rejuvenating miracles of the Fire & Ice treatment. The facial starts with an intensive masque that builds heat on the skin to encourage cellular renewal. Moving onto the ‘ice’ element, the skin is cooled and soothed using cold tools to calm any redness and settle the skin. A concoction of cosmeceutical serums and cremes are applied to give the skin a glossy complexion that you’re encouraged to let sink in for as long as possible!
Restless Nights
Lying in bed, tossing and turning can drive you mad, plunging you into the woes of sleep deprivation. A whopping 56% of Brits agree when they’re trying to sleep, they often have a rush of thoughts come to their head, preventing them from drifting off. Hush intrusive thoughts with Headspace, using The ‘Finding Your Best Sleep’ program. Utilising the library of sleep tools, including guided sleep meditations and exercises, the program lulls your mind and helps you to switch off.
Cortisol On The Rise
Cortisol is a hormone naturally released from your adrenal glands when your brain perceives stress in the body. High-intensity exercise, when done excessively, elevates cortisol levels. This elevation could be detrimental to women’s health, especially those with PCOS. We’re not suggesting quitting high-intensity exercise altogether, but if it’s your primary source of exercise, it may be time to reconsider. Coined by PT & Pilates Instructor Natalie Rose, the 3-2-8 method is a strategy that supports female health, keeping cortisol levels in check. Involving 3 strength training sessions, 2 Pilates or barre workouts, and 8,000 steps a day, this simple yet effective formula is designed to help you get in great shape while aligning with your hormonal balance.
Sweet Tooth
Discovering that 37% of us are addicted to sugar is hardly surprising. So, what can you do to break free from these cravings? It’s time to reassess your morning routine and make the switch from sweet to savoury. Popular sweet breakfast options like oats, smoothies, and fruit-topped yoghurt can lead to a rapid spike in blood sugar, triggering a turbulent trajectory with sweet cravings later in the day. Opt for savoury breakfast choices, such as eggs and avocado, paired with a fibre-rich source to stabilise your blood sugar and avoid the spike. Top tip: avoid sugar (naturally occurring or not) on an empty stomach! If your sweet tooth does come calling in the day (does the 3pm slump sound familiar?), opt for a Remedy Kombucha. With no added sugar, it not only satisfies your sweet cravings but also nourishes your gut with a blend of live cultures and antioxidants.
