True wellness isn’t about perfecting one area of your health while neglecting others. It’s about recognizing that mental clarity, physical vitality, and nutritional choices are deeply intertwined, each one influencing the others in ways that can either elevate or undermine your overall well-being.

For millions of people in the UK living with chronic pain, applying for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can feel like a battle against an invisible enemy.
