What is the best way to take collagen - tablets or a drink?

10/6/2025

0 Comments

 
Do you take collagen? There are so many collagen supplements on the market now that it can be hard to know where to start!  Collagen powder, tablets, drink or sachet?  The options seem endless, but the first priority is actually remembering to take them and for that you need a daily routine that is effective, easy to stick to and fits into your lifestyle. I've been taking collagen on and off for a few years but consistency has always been a bit hit and miss!

There are so many health benefits to taking collagen including improved hair growth and hair strength, less joint pain, a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and banishing brittle nails! Collagen supplementation offers an improved youthful glow and energy!
​
But let's try and understand the most popular ways to take collagen and help find the best method for you!  You can mix, blend, drink, eat ... here are the pros and cons of collagen tablets vs a drink!

My review of LPG Body Endermologie fat reduction treatment at Jane Young Wellness

10/5/2025

You may have seen my previous blog post where I shared my experience of the LPG Face Endermologie course I recently completed at Jane Young Wellness, at the same time, I was also fortunate enough to be able to try out the LPG Body Endermologie treatments!  I am no stranger to body treatments and each one I have tried has offered me something slightly different.  LPG Body Endermologie offers fat reduction, cellulite smoothing, and improved lymphatic drainage.  It is non-invasive, very comfortable, quick and easy.  And as long as you follow a healthy lifestyle alongside your treatments, it gives very good results!  Read on to learn more!

Can Feel Pro-Metabolic help curb cravings and support weight loss in midlife?

18/3/2025

0 Comments

 
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?

Understanding your metabolism in menopause and midlife | why it matters more than ever

12/2/2025

0 Comments

 
As we enter midlife, many of us notice changes in our bodies that we didn’t expect - weight gain, fluctuating energy levels and a metabolism that seems to have slowed down overnight. If you’re in your 40s or 50s and feeling frustrated with your weight or energy levels, you’re not alone. The truth is, our metabolism shifts as we age, and understanding these changes is key to maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

I know I've noticed a lot of changes, especially in the last year or so, I am now 58 and weight loss has become more difficult, the age-related changes to my body composition due to hormonal changes can be frustrating and I need to make adjustments to my physical activity, the number of calories I consume and learning what my new healthy weight should be!

Listening to podcasts and learning about new research really helps educate me and the good news is that we can combat the midlife weight gain, shift the extra pounds and despite a slower metabolism find a new healthy balance.
