4 things this trip has reminded me ro keep in mind -
1. Fear of change and walking outside of the norm can hold us back. Once we shake off the fear and start living how we instinctively knows works, we open up doors of opportunity and certainly happiness. Have faith and good things happen. And we won’t get all of it right, but let’s not be scared of that either!
2. We can often get caught up in dialogue that makes us feel old or steers us into a less adventurous, challenging or intrepid way of life. Expectations and judgements tangle our thoughts on how we should be operating over 50. And I’m wholeheartedly pleased we are having more discussions about the menopause & longevity but lets also not get defined by age brackets and letting ‘women can’t fast/ cold plunge/ skip breakfast/ run a marathon’ because of their hormones conversations create obstacles. You do you.
3. I admit to feeling guilty about relaxation. It’s an inbuilt ‘go to’ thought process I have to keep working on. Burn out is not to be worn like a badge of honour. And I had the pleasure of long and deep conversations in Lisbon which helped me unpick this. It’s ok to relax … this is a work in progress for me but I’ll get there 🤞🏽 … and thank you Michal for shining light on the roots 😉
4. I love to sit in the morning light for many reasons. One is that it helps me keep in mind that we can embrace each day with positivity and hope. Yesterday has gone - learn from it and move forward with a bright spirit. Let things unfold.

Yesterday I sat on these swings writing an article for a magazine on ‘The Pursuit of the Unfamiliar’, the Atlantic Ocean thrashing ahead of me, drowning out the sound of anything other than ‘the wild’.
For some’ ‘renewal’ lies beyond routine, it’s about embracing the unfamiliar, taking ourselves away from the norm and saturating ourselves in all that is new.
Seeing the world through a different lens, stepping away from the unfamiliar allows us to shift from autopilot into being right here right now
Novelty demands presence
New environments interrupt habitual thought patterns
We stop replaying the same concerns because our attention is captured by what lies around us
Perspective shifts as we realise there are many ways to live, think and be
The world feels larger and so our problems feel more proportionate
Perhaps the value of the unfamiliar is not that it changes the world around us, but that it changes our relationship with it, inviting us back into the present moment. Could curiosity be one of wellbeing’s most underrated ingredients?

It’s hard to explain why a place ‘captures you’ … the big blue skies, the light, the streets that hum with life, the inclines that would even challenge those Blue Zones shepherds … the buzz of the plazas as the sun sinks, the lively conversations, the effortless style, the coffee, the wine ….
Today I had breakfast in perhaps my (new) favourite Lisbon coffee shop over some fabulously long conversations, visited a longevity club (heaven) walked through streets dripping with purple blossom, train ride to the beach with more chat 🫶🏽 …. And so much more
Lisbon encapsulates for me how exciting moments are when we step outside the box 🌍
Onward tomorrow to pastures new … but already excited to return. Love you Lisbon

Why do we feel so revived after a day by the sea?
In psychology, ‘attention restoration theory’ suggests that natural environments - particularly blue spaces - help the mind to recover.
Fewer demands on attention, the mind is no longer pulled in different directions and we concentrate on the ocean, on the point of the horizon or we are caught up by the dramatic sound of the waves.
Nature demanding our attention shuts down the ‘busy’ brain and forces us into a downshifted sense of stillness.
The rhythmic sound of the waves feels soothing due to its predictability… as the brain reduces its need to constantly monitor and respond.
The sea salt aerosols allow us to breathe more easily …
And so the mind settles to a softer pace …. The therapy of nature

Sleep Mist - I use this throughout the day and a reminder to my central nervous system ‘time to remain calm and methodic’
postbiotic Toothpaste tabs - fluoride free tabs with postbiotics, calcium hydroxyapatite + zinc … sadly have just used my last one, so useful for keeping in your travel bag (with no messy liquids)
Sustainable one piece swim wear by … keeping it chic whilst fast fashion free … made from recycled ocean plastics (i will also make space for this ❤️)
Body brush - as important as my toothbrush - always travel with one for circulation, lymphatic support ~ a grounding self-care ritual

There is something wonderful about fasting in a group.
Today we completed a 7 day cleanse by breaking the fast with a colourful plate of fruit. Each bite was 100 x as tasty and succulent due to the fasting process.
Here the ‘cleanse’ involves taking fresh juices and tasty broths for a week, removing solid foods, calming the central nervous system with daily walks in the countryside, meditation, gong baths, massage and sauna.
A physical and mental reset.
It’s blissful. And a total breeze in the company of like minded others.
I have met some incredible souls this week, from all over the world with inspiring stories to tell.
These memories i will savour forever. As humans we thrive on connection. What a pleasure to be right here right now.

Is all collagen supplementation biologically equivalent?

I am frequently asked about collagen by clients, friends and family. It is a hot topic.

With this in mind, in our FREE lunchtime W-Wellness Practitioner Skin Webinar next Monday we are going to give this topic a strong focus.

Let’s jump ahead and talk through one of the common questions.
Just what do we need to be looking out for with a quality collagen product?

The effectiveness of collagen depends less on total intake and more on what is absorbed and utilised.

The distinction between native and hydrolysed forms is therefore key.
• Native collagen (what you’re consuming when eating skin, cartilage, or bone broth before any processing or hydrolysis) is a high–molecular weight protein with limited direct bioavailability
• It is not absorbed intact - digestion reduces it to amino acids and small peptides
• Hydrolysed collagen is enzymatically processed to yield low–molecular weight di- and tripeptides
• Key peptides (e.g. proline-hydroxyproline) are detectable in circulation post-ingestion
• These peptides may exert effects beyond basic nutrition, including cellular signalling
• Potential interactions with fibroblasts and extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover are being explored
• Absorption kinetics and peptide profile are more relevant than total collagen dose

This shifts the focus from simply measuring collagen intake to understanding bioactive peptide delivery.

In practice, a well-formulated collagen product should be assessed based on:
• Degree of hydrolysis and molecular weight distribution
• Peptide profile and potential bioactivity
• Evidence of absorption and systemic availability

Ultimately, efficacy is determined not by how much collagen is consumed, but by what reaches circulation in a functional form.

So, this helps us to answer those questions of ‘can’t I just eat meat’ or ‘what should I look out for when choosing a collagen product'? We have so many wonderful collagen products on our platform https://w-wellness.co.uk

Join us on Monday for more on this. This is a webinar designed for Nutritionists, students of nutrition and Health professionals.

If you are none of these and just interested in collagen - then drop a message below as I am keen to hold a session on this topic for general knowledge too.
