Wellness Simplified
What does wellness mean to you? If you take a moment to think about your health goals and your optimal well-being—without the influence of social media or the weight of outside opinions—when do you actually feel like your best self? What does that entail for you?...

Unlike the nervous system, which uses rapid electrical signals, the endocrine system uses hormones secreted by specialised glands (like the thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal glands) directly into the bloodstream. From the bloodstream, these hormones travel throughout the body until they reach their specific target cells or organs, bind to receptors and trigger a specific action. The endocrine system operates relatively slowly because it relies on blood circulation, but its effects are profound and long-lasting. It is often the case that what you did in the […]
