Can you believe that we’ve just had the hottest early May bank holiday on record (since 1978)?! What a lovely weekend that was! I hope you had a nice weekend. I was out in the garden with my wife and my in-laws doing work around the garden.

I talk to many women about weight loss and what they need to do to get into the best shape they can. It is amazing how many women are just not doing the style of training that will get them the best results.

Depression is a serious condition and unfortunately there isn’t a simple straightforward fix for it. Thankfully there is becoming more awareness of it although still not enough and admittedly we haven’t touched on it until now. Not because we don’t want to but simply because it’s not our field of expertise. That being said, this post will no doubt resonate with a lot of people and hopefully help them realise the importance of talking to someone rather than keeping their thoughts and feelings inside.
This post is not written by us but instead written by a friend of mine who has been through the dark times and even attempted suicide.

Many of the people who walk through our door, whether they are coming for a treatment for chronic pain or looking to lose weight with a personal trainer, have some form of digestive issue and yet they may not even realise it.
Most people think that their symptoms are normal and just a part of “getting older”.
