November 2025 Newsletter – “Gifts We Love” Edition
Hello everyone,
As the festive season approaches and lights begin to twinkle across London, many of us are starting to think about gifts for loved ones — or perhaps a small treat for ourselves.
This time of year is joyful, but it can also bring extra stress, busy schedules, and colder days that tug at our energy levels.
So for this month’s newsletter, We’ve put together a mindful, health-centred Gift List We Love — meaningful, practical ideas that support wellbeing, movement, and calm during winter.

🧭🌤️ Practical Tip of the Month — Choosing Quality Vitamin D Supplements
1. Look for clean, high-quality formulations
Many low-cost supplements contain unnecessary fillers or additives that don’t support health. It’s always worth reading the ingredient list carefully. Common additives to watch for include:
- Artificial colours or preservatives
- Magnesium stearate (a flow agent)
- Titanium dioxide
- Hydrogenated oils
- Excessive binders or bulking agents
- Synthetic sweeteners in chewable forms
A good supplement should contain the active ingredient and only a few essential supporting components — nothing more.
2. Consider the form: pills, liquids, and IV vitamin D
Pill / capsule form
- The most common and widely available.
- Ideal for those who prefer a simple daily routine.
- Easy to store and travel with.
Liquid form
- Useful for those who struggle to swallow tablets.
- May allow faster or easier absorption for some people.
- Great for families or anyone who prefers a drop-based method.
IV vitamin D
- Administered in clinical settings only.
- Typically used for individuals with specific medical needs under professional supervision.
- Not a general consumer option — this is targeted, clinician-led care.
Most people will choose pills or liquids. IV formats are specialised and not something to use casually.
🌍 Positive News / Clinic Update
A new initiative is bringing a breath of fresh air to the UK. Wildling, a beautifully designed app backed by conservationists and environmentalists, helps people reconnect with nature by mapping the country’s wild spaces — from city parks to remote beaches and coastal paths.
It’s a wonderful reminder that moments of calm, curiosity, and green space are never too far away.
At the clinic, November has welcomed a lovely blend of familiar faces and new patients beginning their wellness journeys.
A quick update from us:
- We’ve added extra appointment slots in the lead-up to the festive season.
- And for those planning ahead, our December spaces are now open.
Wishing you a warm, healthy, and restorative start to the festive season.
