Hi everyone! HNY:)


Today we are going to talk about the power of oral supplementation... not just for January but the integration into our daily lives all year round. In a world where the balance between work, life, and personal care is increasingly challenging, maintaining optimal health has become more crucial than ever for us. Amidst the hustle and bustle, dietary supplements have emerged as allies in the quest for wellness, promising to fill the gaps that our modern diets often leave. But not all supplements are created equal, and that's where the expertise of W-Wellness, and my curated wellness edits come into play.


The Supplement Spectrum: Navigating the Choices


The market is awash with options, from vitamins and minerals to herbal concoctions and probiotics. Each supplement serves its purpose, but understanding which ones are essential can be a daunting task. There are two primary schools of thought when it comes to supplements: the minimalists who advocate for a diet that needs no supplementation, and the maximalists who believe in a proactive approach to supplementation for optimal health.

The truth lies somewhere in the middle. While a balanced diet is foundational, the reality is that the nutrient density of our food has diminished over time, and lifestyle factors often impede our body's efficiency in absorbing nutrients. This is where W-Wellness steps in, providing tailored advice and high-quality supplements that cater to our needs.


Strategic Supplementation: A Tactical Approach


When it comes to incorporating supplements into your daily routine, strategy is key. It's not about taking a scattergun approach but rather about understanding what your body needs. For instance, iron is critical for women, particularly for those who experience heavy menstrual cycles. Vitamin D, often dubbed the 'sunshine vitamin', is another crucial supplement, especially in regions with limited sunlight exposure.


Omega-3 fatty acids, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, are also beneficial, particularly for heart health. Probiotics are gaining traction for their role in gut health, which is tied to a myriad of other aspects of wellbeing, including mental health. And let's not forget about calcium and magnesium – the dynamic duo for bone health.


Learning from the Best: My Vision


The Medi-Shed, has partnered with W-Wellness to bring a focused approach to women's and mens health. With a background in aesthetic medicine, I understand that true beauty and wellness come from within.

Hi everyone, today I'm going to talk to you about 3 new product launches by Obagi that you may not be aware of as yet. The reason I absolutely love recomending Obagi skincare in clinic is because I’ve had phenomenal skin health transformations over the last 12 years. We love the results and the products suit nearly every single patient - in my opinion no other skincare brand is backed by decades of clinical research. The products target the epidermis and dermis thus transforming every patients skin health to look brighter, clearer, softer, smoother, firmer and naturally younger! Hence our tag line has always been ‘it’s time to upgrade your skin forever’



OBAGI REBALANCE CREAM





Obagi® Rebalance Skin Barrier Recovery Cream may provide that extra attention your skin barrier deserves. This formulation strengthens the skin's natural barrier, reducing sensitivity and irritation often associated with blemish targeting treatments. It also hydrates and soothes the skin, promoting recovery and restoring balance. Formulated with BarrierPlex™ Technology – it's an innovative, proprietary blend of postbiotics, hydrating agents, and soothing ingredients that help restore and rebalance the skin's microbiome.

Apply 2 pumps to face, neck, and chest as needed after other products and prior to sunscreen as part of your morning routine. At night, this can be used as the final step in your routine. This product can also be used underneath the hydrate range.


Key ingredients - Postbiotics, Green Algae, Ceramides, Niacinamide.

Sensitised skin - You may be experiencing sensitivity after using retinoids, AHAs, or BHAs

Compromised skin - Your skin may be prone to eczema, rosacea, or acne

REJUVENATING EYE GEL CREAM





This targeted solution is formulated with clinically proven ingredients to help visibly reduce the appearance of under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines while providing lasting hydration for the delicate skin around the eyes. The cooling applicator helps smooth under-eye puffiness promoting a more awake and rejuvenated appearance.

Dispense one pump of product for both eyes and dot around eye area. Massage in with the cooling applicator tip. Gently pat in excess product with fingers. This product can be used with ELASTIderm eye products, and should be used as the final step.


Key ingredients - Hibiscus Oil, Abyssinian Oil, Tuberose, Niacinamide.

Hi Everyone,


We've just celebrated World Mental Health Day and it’s currently Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK. These initiatives both highlight the increasing and welcome focus placed by national bodies, but also point to the depth of the growing problem, and awareness, of mental health concerns.


Some of the figures are stark. In the UK 18.5% of women (compared to 12.5% of men) report to be suffering poor mental health. In 2023/4, the cost of providing mental health-related treatments, including medications like antidepressants, contributed to an overall cost of £17.6 billion for the NHS (a 45% increase since 2018/19). ‘How to reduce stress’ is searched on Google once every 10 minutes.



These figures do not account for regional or demographic differences, although there is data to support a link between mental health issues and average income. Factors related to menopause can certainly play a part, with half of menopausal women reporting low mood while at work.


To help combat medical intervention, talking therapy became popular in the 1970s, especially in the US. Its godfather is Carl Rogers, a psychologist whose innovation was to advocate for the inherent goodness and potential of individuals. Rogers said we should be enabled to be the change agent in our quest to develop our best selves. Self-awareness, personal growth, and the therapeutic relationship are the key to overcoming psychological issues. Despite it seeming obvious now, it was revolutionary. Rogers was writing at a time when Freud’s authoritative, theoretical and psychoanalytic approach had been dominant for over 50 years.



When it comes to therapy, and choosing the right therapist, the choice can be daunting. Which is the right ‘school’ or ‘modality’ for me? What do they even mean? In reality, therapy can be boiled down to a combination of three things: examining the ‘here and now’, understanding the connection between the present and the past, and looking forward to the future (this is more coaching). Every school of thought exists within this spectrum. 


At the Medi-Shed we will follow the Personal Consultancy model to integrate styles seamlessly: listen authentically, rebalance, generate (new ways of being) and support (the change). Issues can be examined as they present themselves, or via an exploration of the deep seated underlying causes of them. One way to think of it is when watching your favourite TV show. Sometimes you are engaged with the ‘story of the week’ (the surface), and other times you are connected to the characters, their faults and their inner beliefs (the depth). This experience can shift dynamically moment to moment. 


Throughout the process the aim is to help the client develop greater agency towards creating their best selves. We may need to go deep into one’s history, to gently unhook any anchors to negativity, and we may need to consider our responses to the things we experience in the everyday, even the things we experience in the therapy room. The exploration is key. It’s guided but always at the client’s pace. Because, as Rogers said, the client always knows best.
