Happy New Year!

Have you read my latest post on the Facebook group? It’s about approaching your health and fitness goals in an approachable way – come along and take a look.

As you move towards your fitness goals this year, you’re going to want to assess how you’re doing – and I have some ideas which I think will be better than relying on just the scales and the mirror.

For today, let’s look at why the scales and mirror aren’t the best ways to gauge your progress, and next week I will explain the better […]

With all the talk about the GLP-1 inhibitors, I thought it might be handy to look at the easier to access, older school weight loss supplements.

Some of these supplements make some really bold claims!

But regardless of the marketing, the simple basic truth is that we will only lose weight if we use more energy than we eat. Our body then makes up the difference between energy need and energy consumption with stored energy – which we hope is fat.

And if we’re eating too much energy, it has to go somewhere – perhaps into heating your body, producing […]

I’ll make this the final part about semaglutide for now, but please do ask me any other questions you have and I’ll do my best to answer you. I’d be happy to cover more about semaglutide in future emails in a few weeks.

The most common question I received was some variation of “should I try it?”.

Obviously, I can’t tell you the answer to that, but I can give you my opinion on who it might be most effective for. Of course, there are lots of considerations and your suitability for semaglutide does not only come down to these things – but I think it’s a good place to begin […]

It’s interesting to see that ozempic / semaglutide is gaining so much traction all of a sudden – and (this is likely not what you’re expecting me to say) I think perhaps it might be one of the safer weight loss aids.

In fact, I think peptides in general could become big news over the coming years. There’s talk about various peptides helping digestive issues, joint issues, reducing pain, slowing ageing – and many other things too. But for now, in the UK, they’re fringe at best, and considered as for research purposes only!

Back to semaglutide.
