Changing seasons are always a good time to review anything we put into or onto our bodies. Many of us are energised to carry out a deep clean around our homes as Winter eases into Spring, or perhaps embark on a juice cleanse to boost digestion, but it’s also a great opportunity to clear out […]

TRIED & TESTED: Rough Runner
Described as the UK’s only TV show inspired obstacle course… are you game?

WE WENT: The Gut Stuff Tackles IBS (round 2)
Recently, I attended the Gut Stuff’s Old Street pop-up and began my journey into understanding more about gut health. For me, I was naive and unaware of the science and workings of the gut. This pop-up, with its guest lecturers and product contributors, was the perfect bite-sized introduction to all things gut related. So, when […]
