If you read my previous post, where I shared life lately and updated you on my HRT implant decision, you'd have spotted that I have gained some weight and I'm not happy about it, whoever is?  But the older we get, the more frustrating it is as it is so difficult to lose weight in midlife, it's true, weight gain around the middle is a thing and not just our imagination!

​I thought weight loss was hard as I was approaching 50, but as I am now approaching 60, I am finding it even harder.  Willpower is my biggest barrier, I know I need to get better at saying no to the treats, less wine, less desserts, and less sugar!  The extra weight is affecting my confidence, I am strong, I lift weights and I have good muscle definition thanks to some hard work and help along the way with body sculpting treatments but I still want to be a bit smaller overall - my goal is to fit comfortably into my size 10 jeans again.

Then Feel got in touch and asked if I'd like to try their new Feel Pro Metabolic, a natural supplement for weight management and designed to curb cravings, boost energy and support a healthy metabolism.   So how does it work and can it really help with my weight loss journey?

I've always been completely honest, if there was a (safe) magic pill I could take to lose fat from my tummy area, without dieting and without exercise, I'd be first in the queue! I eat a fairly sensible balanced and healthy diet, I am quite petite and certainly not overweight, and I do love the post-workout feel good factor!  But I lead a busy life and I don't love exercise enough to prioritise it consistently. But in the absence of a safe magic pill I was very intrigued when I started to read about the original EMSculpt and the latest EMSculpt NEO from BTL Aesthetics. Could these non-surgical treatments really work and provide us with an effective body contouring solution, a non-invasive treatment with no downtime?  Are they worth the investment?

So I was very excited to be invited to experience and review a full course of EMSculpt NEO treatments myself at the multi-award winning, doctor led, medical aesthetic clinic, S-Thetics in Beaconsfield.  S-Thetics specialise in the most up-to-date and scientifically based skin and non-surgical body treatments.

The S-Thetics Clinic was founded by surgeon and cosmetic doctor Miss Sherina Balaratnam. Miss Balaratnam has over 23 years medical experience, she trained as a plastic surgeon for 6 years is passionate about offering the most advanced skincare products and facial treatments as well as non-surgical skin rejuvenation and body contouring using the latest medical grade technology there is.

Having won 'Medical Aesthetic Practitioner of the Year' at the prestigious annual Aesthetics Awards in 2022, Miss Balaratnam is well-respected, highly trained and knowledgeable.  She is a much sought after expert especially as the S-Thetics Clinic also won 'Best Clinic South England' in 2022 and Beaconsfield is such an easily accessible town to access from London and the whole of the South of England. I spent my teen years living in Beaconsfield and have loved going back to the Old Town to visit the clinic over the last few weeks. The fast trains from London Marylebone only take 20-25 minutes and the S-Thetics Clinic is a short taxi journey from the station.
