The Kombucha craze is here to stay
If you have haven’t heard of Kombucha, you will do any day now. The category is booming as more and more adults drink less alcohol and look for healthier soft drinks like fermented kombucha.
The founders of GENIE Drinks, Alex and Bill, launched their range of Kombucha for the same reason. They were drinking less alcohol, and looking (wishing!) for a brand they could trust to deliver delicious and healthier adult softs that were not too sweet.
They couldn’t find one, so founded their own in 2019.
Since then, GENIE has launched a range of delicious Kombucha flavours… fermented for 10 days, rather than being full of artificial sweeteners and other nasties. They include Dry Apple, Fiery Ginger and Blueberry & Raspberry, providing everyday refreshment perfect for every occasion.
Their cans are 100% recyclable and the drinks are 100% vegan. GENIE go as far as to plant a tree for every case they sell, so you can sip away with no worries!
And they’re winning awards as they do it.
Since they launched, they have won an astonishing EIGHT Great Taste Awards, and are now officially a Great Taste Producer, having won 3 years in a row. So, their drinks are officially delicious! This new year is a great time to give them a try!

Cutting down on drinking in 2024
A lot of us overindulge over the holidays, but it’s important to be able to recognise when you might have a problem, so you can get the help you need.
There are a few ways of realising that you may need to seek help. These can include people close to you expressing concern about the amount you’re drinking, you self-medicate using alcohol, you find yourself justifying your drinking or you’re secretive about your drinking habits, and lie to loved ones about the amount you drink.
If you think you, or a family member or friend, might be drinking too much, and showing signs of dependence, Priory is here to help.
Priory provide fast access to market-leading addiction treatment at their nationwide network of centres. They can support people with residential programmes, right through to outpatient therapy for those with harmful drinking habits.
Priory have trained advisers available who can discuss your concerns in complete confidence, explore options for treatment, and help you to understand what will work best for you.

All Priory addiction treatments are provided by suitably qualified clinicians.

Give your gut a little attention
The health of our gut plays a critical role in our overall wellbeing.
Yet, its significant impact during perimenopause is less recognised. Bridging this gap, The Better Menopause introduces The Better Gut, a probiotic supplement formulated to revolutionise menopause symptom management.
Joanna Lyall, co-founder of The Better Menopause and herself a nutritional therapist, believes that most women don’t realise that gut health and menopause symptoms can be linked. Fluctuations and declines in oestrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause can disrupt the gut microbiome and estrobolome.*
The Better Gut is an innovative solution to nurture a healthy gut microbiome.
Developed with experts, ‘The Better Gut’ uniquely caters to women in midlife, incorporating six science-backed probiotic strains** chosen for their benefits.
This highly concentrated supplement, containing 50 billion CFUs, does not require refrigeration, offering convenience for daily use and travel. Simply take one capsule a day!
