Struggling to sleep? Magnesium might be the missing piece.

Magnesium plays a key role in helping your body and brain wind down:
🧠 Calms the nervous system
💤 Supports melatonin production
🦵 Reduces restless legs and muscle cramps
😌 Lowers cortisol (your stress hormone)

If you find it hard to fall asleep…
Or wake up feeling like you haven’t slept at all — low magnesium could be a factor.

Modern diets, stress, alcohol, and certain medications can all reduce your levels over time.

💊 Supplementation can help — but so can getting the right form (not all magnesium is equal).
We can guide you.

Better sleep might be one mineral away. Let’s find out.

Craving crisps lately?
It might not be hunger — it could be dehydration.

When your body’s low on fluids, it doesn’t always ask for water.
Sometimes… it whispers “salt.”

Why?
🧂 Dehydration can cause your electrolyte balance to dip
🧠 Your brain translates that as a craving for salty snacks
🥴 You reach for crisps — but the root problem (fluid loss) isn’t fixed

Next time that salty craving hits, try this:
💧 Drink a glass of water
⚡ Add a pinch of salt or electrolyte tab if you’ve been sweating or unwell

Still feeling off? Frequent dehydration or cravings can signal something deeper — worth checking in.

Hydration first. Crisps… maybe later.

Live up north? You’re probably low on Vitamin D.

In the UK, especially above Birmingham, sunlight from October to March isn’t strong enough for your skin to make enough Vitamin D.

And unless you’re eating a lot of oily fish, liver, egg yolks, and fortified foods… you’re likely not getting enough from diet either.

Vitamin D is essential for:
– Strong bones and teeth
– Immune system support
– Muscle function
– Mood regulation (yes, it’s linked to winter blues)

🩺 Low levels can lead to fatigue, low mood, aches, frequent illness — and in the long term, even brittle bones.

💊 Supplementation is often essential here in the North — and we can check your levels if you’re unsure.

We might not get enough sun — but you can still get what your body needs.

Painkillers help. But they’re not the whole story.

If you find yourself reaching for ibuprofen or paracetamol every week — it’s worth asking why.

Painkillers can ease symptoms…
But they don’t fix the root cause.

🔎 Recurring headaches?
🦴 Ongoing back or joint pain?
🩸 Period pain that knocks you out every month?

You deserve more than just short-term relief.
Let’s look deeper — whether it’s blood tests, lifestyle factors, or referral to a specialist.

We’re here to help you manage pain properly — not just mask it.

Multivitamins are popular and convenient, but they are not always the best option for everyone.

Because they contain a broad range of nutrients, some people may be taking things they do not need while still missing what their body actually requires. They can be helpful for some people, but they are not a substitute for diet or tailored advice.

Knowing when a multivitamin is appropriate can help you make better choices for your health.

Vitamins and supplements are widely used, but many people are unsure how to take them correctly.

Some vitamins absorb better with food, others at certain times of day, and taking too much can sometimes cause problems rather than benefits. More is not always better when it comes to supplements.

Taking vitamins properly helps you get the most out of them and avoids unnecessary side effects. If you are unsure what you need, it is always worth checking.

Mixing painkillers is a common source of confusion, and it is something we get asked about a lot.

Some painkillers can be taken together safely when used correctly, but others should never be combined. Taking more than recommended or mixing the wrong medicines can increase the risk of side effects without improving pain control.

If you are ever unsure about what you can take together, it is always best to ask. A quick check can prevent unnecessary problems.

Coughs and colds are incredibly common, especially through autumn and winter, but they are not always straightforward.

Most are caused by viruses, which means antibiotics are often not the answer. Supporting your body with rest, fluids, and simple remedies is usually the best first step.

If symptoms last longer than expected, worsen, or come with things like chest pain, breathlessness, or a high fever, it is important to get checked properly.

Understanding when to wait it out and when to seek advice can make recovery easier and avoid unnecessary treatment.

Tension headaches aren’t just “in your head.”
They’re in your neck, your shoulders, your jaw — and sometimes, your lifestyle.

Common causes include:
• Poor posture (hello, laptop hunch)
• Stress and anxiety
• Eye strain
• Jaw clenching
• Dehydration or skipping meals

That dull, pressure-like pain around your forehead or the back of your head? Classic tension headache.

🧠 You don’t have to just “push through it.”
Whether you need pain relief, stress support, or a deeper check-in — we can help.

Low energy, brain fog, tingling hands?
You might be low on B12.

Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in:
– Red blood cell production
– Nervous system function
– Energy metabolism
– Mood and memory

Deficiency is more common than you’d think — especially if you’re:
• Vegan or vegetarian
• Over 50
• Taking certain medications (e.g. metformin, PPIs)
• Experiencing fatigue, dizziness, or numbness

💉 B12 injections can quickly restore depleted levels and boost energy, focus, and mood.

Still tired after 8 hours of sleep?
It might not be your bedtime.

Fatigue isn’t always about sleep deprivation — sometimes it’s your body waving a red flag.

Here’s what could be going on:
• Low iron or B12
• Thyroid issues
• Vitamin D deficiency (yes, especially in Manchester)
• Blood sugar dips
• Underlying inflammation

Getting through the day shouldn’t feel like a marathon.
If your energy’s been low for weeks, it’s time to investigate.

🩸 A simple blood test could give you answers — and a proper way forward.

Do you ever stand up too quickly and feel dizzy or light-headed?
It’s more common than you think.

Sometimes it’s dehydration or stress, but it can also be caused by low iron, low B12, or other simple deficiencies.
A private blood test can help you get real answers without waiting weeks for appointments.

Fast results, clear explanations, and peace of mind.
