Essential Health & Wellness Quick Facts
Lymphatic Health
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Perform gentle circular motions from extremities toward the heart. Use light pressure and massage for 10-15 minutes daily to reduce swelling, boost immunity, and improve circulation. Best done after a warm shower.
Memory
Dementia
Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. While the risk of dementia increases with age, it is not a normal part of aging. Although there is currently no cure for most types of dementia, treatments and supportive care can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.
Pregnancy Wellness
Prenatal Care Essentials
Take 400mcg folic acid daily before conception and during first trimester. Attend all antenatal appointments. Stay active with pregnancy-safe exercises like swimming and walking. Avoid alcohol, smoking, and certain foods.
Flexibility
Daily Stretching Routine
Stretch for 10-15 minutes daily to improve flexibility, reduce injury risk, and relieve muscle tension. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds without bouncing. Focus on major muscle groups: hamstrings, hip flexors, shoulders, and back.
Heart Health
Diet & Nutrition
Discover how exotic fruits like dragon fruit, papaya, and guava can help lower cholesterol naturally. Learn which vegetables boost your immune system based on your blood type, from nutrient-rich kale to antioxidant-packed berries. Tailor your diet to your unique biology for optimal health.
Movement
Boost Lymphatic Flow
Exercise stimulates lymphatic drainage naturally. Try rebounding, yoga, or brisk walking for 30 minutes daily. Deep breathing exercises and staying hydrated also support lymph flow and toxin removal from the body.

Acts 16:14
Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us, a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.
Acts 16:40
So they went out of the prison and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.
The name LydiMed derives from the biblical story of a businesswoman from Thyatira who’s trade was in expensive purple cloths.
For LydiMed this purple palette symbolizes power, strength, nobility, health and spirituality. That is where ‘Lydi’ & ‘Med’ collide, bringing the biblical and scientific together when evaluating yourself and your health to be the best version of you!
Commonly Asked Questions for Your GP
Get answers to trending health concerns in a safe, private space
Is it normal to feel anxious about my health?
Yes, health anxiety is very common. It's important to discuss these feelings with your GP, who can help distinguish between normal concern and anxiety that may need support.
How often should I get a health check-up?
For most adults, an annual check-up is recommended. However, if you have chronic conditions or are over 50, more frequent visits may be beneficial. Your GP can advise on the best schedule for you.
What should I do about persistent fatigue?
Persistent fatigue can have many causes, from lifestyle factors to underlying health conditions. Your GP can run tests to check for issues like anaemia, thyroid problems, or vitamin deficiencies.
Is it normal to have irregular periods?
While some variation is normal, consistently irregular periods can indicate hormonal imbalances or other conditions. It's worth discussing with your GP, especially if accompanied by other symptoms.
How can I improve my mental health?
Mental health is as important as physical health. Your GP can discuss strategies including lifestyle changes, talking therapies, and medication if appropriate. Don't hesitate to reach out for support.
What are the signs of high blood pressure?
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, which is why regular checks are important. Some people may experience headaches, shortness of breath, or nosebleeds, but these aren't specific to high blood pressure.
