❄️ Winter Wellness Starts With Small Habits ❄️
As the days get colder and darker, it’s normal to feel your energy dip — but winter is actually the perfect time to slow down, reset, and build small, sustainable habits that support your health.

You don’t need a full routine overhaul. Simple, consistent actions can help boost your immunity, improve your mood, and keep you feeling balanced throughout the season.

This month, we’re focusing on easy changes anyone can make, even on busy days. Think of it as a gentle winter reset — realistic, manageable, and designed to help you feel your best.

Take things at your own pace, be kind to yourself, and remember: small steps add up. 💚

Studies involving over 70,000 women show a small increased risk of childhood asthma, wheezing and conjunctivitis. There was no link with food allergies, dermatitis or eczema. This may relate to the hygiene hypothesis, where less exposure to bacteria affects how a child’s immune system develops.

But guidelines from the RCOG are clear: it’s important to treat infections in pregnancy, as the risks of leaving an infection untreated are usually far higher than the small allergy risk.

Do antibiotics affect a baby’s immune system?
They can influence the baby’s gut microbiota — the helpful bacteria involved in digestion and immune development — but this doesn’t mean long-term immune damage.

Are natural alternatives safer?
No. The MHRA advises avoiding unlicensed herbal products in pregnancy due to contamination risks, toxic ingredients and limited safety data.

Should you stop antibiotics early?
Never. Completing the full course is essential to clear the infection and avoid complications — especially important during pregnancy.

So what’s the truth?
There may be a small allergy-related risk, but when antibiotics are prescribed in pregnancy, they are usually the safest option to protect both mother and baby.

Erectile dysfunction does not directly affect fertility. However, if it prevents pe*******on during in*******se, it can make conception more difficult. ED does not impact s***m quality or your ability to father a child. Once the underlying cause is addressed, most men are able to conceive normally.

Medications for ED like sildenafil (Vi**ra) or tadalafil (Cialis) do not affect your s***m or hormone levels. They simply improve blood flow to help with erections — nothing that impacts fertility.

What matters is the cause of ED. Psychological factors and blood-flow issues don’t affect conception, but obesity, hormonal imbalances, smoking, high alcohol intake, or testicular problems can influence fertility.

So what’s the truth?
ED itself doesn’t stop you from having children — and ED medication doesn’t harm fertility. If you’re planning a family and experiencing symptoms, speaking to a healthcare professional can help you treat the cause and move forward confidently.

If you’ve taken time off your GLP-1 treatment, you might wonder if you can jump straight back to the higher dose you were on before. The truth is: this depends on how long the break was and how your body responds.

If the break was short, and your BMI is still within the licensed range, you can usually restart at the dose you were already on.

But after a longer break, even if you previously tolerated a higher dose, you’ll typically need to begin again at a lower “restart” dose. This isn’t to slow you down; it’s to prevent side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, pancreatitis or gallstones.

Does a lower dose mean it won’t work?
Not at all. GLP-1 medication can support weight loss at any dose — especially when paired with consistency around nutrition and physical activity. The right dose is individual, and going slow protects your progress.

So what’s the truth?
You can only skip dose reduction if your break was short. Otherwise, restarting low is the safest and most effective way to get back on track.
