Food lover Pauline set to share slimming success with others

Thu, Apr 24, 2025

When Pauline Singleton Lynch realised that her weight was stopping her living the life she wanted to, she knew she had to make a change. Now almost two stone lighter, Pauline says she’s delighted to have found a way to lose weight without having to give up her favourite meals.

Pauline says: “I joined Slimming World and I was amazed – I lost weight without depriving myself and feeling miserable. When I’ve tried to lose weight before it’s always meant cutting out my favourite foods, eating something completely different to my family or having to stop socialising altogether. But when my consultant Carmel explained how Slimming World’s plan worked it felt like a total game-changer. I started making simple swaps, enjoying real food and seeing results week on week. I felt the difference, and for the first time, I knew these changes were something I could stick with."

Relief for radiation therapy injuries: hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Thu, Apr 17, 2025

Radiation therapy is a powerful tool in the fight against cancer, but it can sometimes damage healthy tissues surrounding the treated area. This is known as a post-radiation injury.

Injuries occur when healthy cells are damaged by the same radiation used to destroy cancer cells. Radiation can lead to poor oxygen supply, damage to blood vessels, inflammation and scarring of the tissues. Conditions like radiation cystitis (bladder damage), radiation proctitis (damage to the rectum), and damage to the bone or soft tissues can lead to ongoing pain, bleeding, ulcers or infection. Sadly, post-radiation injuries can be hard to treat.

Thu, Apr 17, 2025

The three keys to a genuine weight loss (real fat loss) plan are diet, exercise and metabolism correction. All three keys interconnect – one will not work without the other. Your metabolism is the most powerful of all the three keys – it is the ‘switch’ that controls everything else.

Metabolism problems like slow thyroid, type 2 diabetes, sluggish liver, hormone imbalances, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility and digestive problems like constipation, IBS and diverticulitis will limit or stop your weight loss, no matter how much dieting or exercise you do.
