Ever feel like your gut is overreacting? 🔥🍞

With IBS, your gut and brain are still talking - they’re just not understanding each other. Your brain treats normal gut signals like an emergency, turning up the pain and throwing your bowels off course.

It’s real. It’s common. And it can be managed.

But always rule out a real fire first 🚨 See your GP if you have blood in your poo, unexplained weight loss, symptoms waking you at night, or new bowel changes over 50.

Struggling to focus? Forgetful? Always restless?

It might be ADHD. But it might not be 👀

ADHD is real and getting diagnosed can be life-changing. But lots of other things can look just like it - poor sleep, anxiety, thyroid problems, even your hearing.

Getting the right answer matters, because the right diagnosis means the right support.

So if this sounds like you, book in with your GP. Be honest, be open, and be ready to explore everything - not just ADHD.

Giggs said it first... but I’m a breast man too 👀

Breastfeeding, that is. Gotcha 😉

Just had a baby or due soon? Here are 5 evidence-backed benefits of breastfeeding:

👶 For baby
1. 36% lower risk of sudden infant death
2. About a third lower odds of ear infections (under 2s)
3. Around 3-4 extra IQ points on average

💗 For mum
4. Around 4% lower breast cancer risk for every year you breastfeed
5. Around 27% lower risk of type 2 diabetes later in life

Breastfeeding isn’t always easy, and it isn’t always possible. Fed is best. If you’re struggling, speak to your midwife, health visitor or GP - that’s what we’re here for.

Like if you learned something, comment your questions, and share with a mum-to-be who needs this 💬

All jokes aside, most adults need 7-9 hours. Regularly needing 10+ hours and still feeling tired isn’t laziness - it can be a sign of things like low mood, sleep apnoea, an underactive thyroid or anaemia. If that’s you, book in with your GP.

Flying soon? ✈️ Read this before you board 👇

Your calves aren’t just for walking - they’re your second heart. Every time they squeeze, they push blood back up to your heart. But sit still for hours on a plane and that pump switches off.

Blood that sits still can go sludgy and form a clot deep in the leg - that’s a DVT. If a bit breaks off and travels to the lungs, it’s serious.

The fix is easy:
🦵 Calf raises - up on your toes, down on your heels, 10-15 reps every half hour or so
🚶 Walk the aisle every hour or two
💧 Drink plenty of water, go easy on the alcohol
❌ Don’t sit with your legs crossed
🧦 Think about flight socks on longer flights

Take extra care if you’ve had a clot before, had recent surgery, are pregnant or just had a baby, take the combined pill or HRT, or have cancer.

And remember - none of this replaces blood thinners. If your GP’s put you on them, keep taking them.

Keep moving, keep flowing. Safe travels! 🌍

Ever noticed a blotchy, net-like pattern on your skin where your hot water bottle sits? 🔥

It’s called erythema ab igne, which is Latin for “redness from fire”. It happens when gentle heat hits the same patch of skin again and again. It’s not a burn, but over time it damages the tiny blood vessels just under the surface and leaves a lacy pattern behind. On brown skin it often looks darker brown rather than red.

What can you do?
1. Don’t put heat directly on your skin. Use a cover or a layer of clothing.
2. Turn the temperature down and use it for shorter spells.
3. Move the heat around rather than using the same spot every time.
4. Put your laptop on a desk or tray, not your legs.
5. Once the heat stops, mild marks usually fade over months, but darker ones can stay.

But here’s the thing. The rash is just the clue. If you’ve been reaching for heat every day to cope with back pain, joint pain or period pain, that pain deserves proper attention. Book in with your GP and let’s talk about what’s causing it. Also get any sore, lump or patch that won’t heal on the rash checked.

Scared of smear tests? You’re not alone - and there’s now another way in 🩺

The NHS is rolling out HPV self-testing kits. It’s a discreet swab you do yourself at home and post back. No speculum, no clinic, no waiting room.

Who’s it for?
✅ People with a cervix aged 30-65
✅ Invited for screening before, but haven’t gone

It’s invitation-only and being rolled out in phases across England, so it may not be in your area just yet. And if you can get to your GP for a smear, that’s still the best option. This is for the people who otherwise wouldn’t get screened at all.

Check your NHS App to see if you’ve been invited 💙
