my advisors were strong i would put on and work out harder. this tracker, i track my blood glucose using a constant glucose using a constant glucose monitor and it tells me my response to certain foods i can actually personalise my nutrition. some people think it may be extreme having something in my arm all the time but for me, having a happy, healthy life is more important than peoplejudging me for life is more important than people judging me for having a few bits of text. this is my daily supplements here, my digestive supplements, this is my backup draw. my dishwasher. it is really about being the ceo of your own health. there may not be double—blind studies behind some of these things but remember, all science is evolving. some things to work long—term and some things don't. i could buy a oxygen therapy helps the body heal and prepare properly. there is much more pressure in here which means we dissolve more oxygen in the blood. it gives me extra mental clarity and i feel very zen in it. you would not even know that anything was

happening and occasionally your ears pop a little bit. if i have stuff going on and i need to chill out than i do meditate. sensory feedback helps me relax, it is like the perfect balance between nature and technology. some may say it is a contradiction of terms needed to use technology to unwind but the point is most people can use technology to unwind already. think about netflix. a typical evening for me consists of blue blocking glasses, red light when you don't get to see sunset, going digitalfree and really don't get to see sunset, going digital free and really having some time to myself. there is such a thing as too much data. you can drive yourself mad tracking too many points. stress is bad for health obviously is a letting go of it is also important. if you're not sleeping well, track that. if you are bloating, track your gut bacteria. can become a hobby. admittedly. but it is really important that you do the things that you need to do for you. some of my colleagues would like to live to around 180. i want to die as young as

across parts of southern spain this weekend into the low to mid 30s. but for us, we are stuck in cool air and we are stuck under the influence of low pressure. this will bring showers or longer spells of rain through the weekend. a band of cloud with outbreaks of rain drifting northeastwards across england and wales, clipping into northern ireland as we head through saturday morning. behind that, well, we revert to that mix of sunshine and showers. some of the showers will be heavy with hail and thunder. not too many showers across scotland. certainly across the northern half of scotland as we go through the day. although for shetland it will stay pretty grey and damp all day long. temperatures struggling for north—eastern areas, just 11 degrees. even in the best of the sunshine, 15 or 16, that is it. through saturday evening the showers will try to fade but actually i think through the early hours of sunday morning, the showers will pep up again down towards the south—west. that is the first sign of what is going to be quite a turbulent day of weather on sunday,

as this area of low pressure moves right on top of the uk. that means the air will be very, very unstable. so while most places will start with some dry weather and some sunshine, keep an eye on the skies, you will see big thunder clouds developing. some really intense downpours with frequent lightning, some hail, some very squally, gusty wind and some particularly strong winds down towards the channel islands. there will be some sunshine between the showers but temperatures below par, 11 to 15 degrees. and as we head to the start of next week low pressure will still be close by. that means we will see further showers or longer spells of rain through the week ahead. some of those showers always with the potential to be heavy, possibly thundery. some sunshine in between, but no sign of anything warm on the horizon.

a perfect way to protect our feline friends!
