What a whirlwind of a year! We would like to thank the therapists that contributed to bringing natural and complementary therapies to life at The Hague Natural Health Centre in 2024. It's not easy working in natural and complementary therapy because it takes patience and time to get to the cause of illness. Occasionally there are quick fixes but more often, it takes time to get through the layers of suppression. One of our goals at the Health Centre is to bring various practitioners together, collaborating under one roof in order to contribute to a healthier society. The modalities continue to change as we adapt and grow, learning what works and where to improve. To celebrate one year of the centre's opening, we are offering the community a chance to experience our therapies on January 18, 2025 at an anniversary price of €35 for two 30 minute sessions. See our website for details and registration: https://lnkd.in/gkPWfD5M Additionally, we have several group sessions that offer people to start 2025 on a healthier note. The group sessions include: - Pilgrim Circle - an opportunity to reflect and regroup - Harnessing the Inner Critic - redirecting the critic to a more positive outlook - Comforting Winter Wellness - tips on nourishing your body in winter If you've ever wondered about natural therapies - now is your chance to try something new in 2025 at a rare low price. We hope to see you there. #Healthiersociety hashtag #2025health hashtag #naturalmedicine #complementarymedicine, #energymedicine

𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 – 𝗜𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 👁️📢 Seeing is essential. 👁️ Eye health is a valuable asset. And when it comes to protecting our vision, knowledge and awareness make all the difference. Today on the radio, I emphasized that attitude counts—and it starts with three key principles: 1️⃣ Actively choosing healthy behavior – Prevention is always better than treatment. 2️⃣ Asking questions until you truly understand – Your health deserves clarity. 3️⃣ Recognizing warning signs and reacting in time – Early intervention saves sight. A big thank you to 𝗠𝗗𝗥 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘀𝗲𝗻 for their hospitality in the studio! The engagement was overwhelming—more than 30 live phone calls and 50 emails full of insightful questions. Many of them included well-deserved praise for the 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙖𝙭𝙤𝙣𝙮 —a testament to their outstanding care and the confidence patients place in them. I will be answering all your questions soon! Until then—what eye health topics are most important to you?

I came across an excellent resource and wanted to share it with all those working to promote physical activity. The policy brief "More People, More Active, More Often for Heart Health – Taking Action on Physical Activity" is a must-read! This important advocacy paper, published by the World Heart Federation and authored by some brilliant friends and colleagues, presents compelling evidence on the health and non-health impacts of physical activity. It also highlights effective interventions that help communities stay active. Well done to everyone involved! 👏 Trevor Shilton Karen Milton Jo Salmon Dr Anna Chalkley Billie Giles-Corti If you're strapped for time, skip to Tables 7 to 10 which illustrate a comprehensive range of policy and practice recommendations and actions for physical activity, based on evidence of effectiveness - organised around the WHO GAPPA four strategic policy areas 👌 😍 Access: https://lnkd.in/eiTJennt

Radical Health Festival: A Glimpse into Tomorrow’s Medicine, Today Mental Health Television Network (MHTN) The recent Radical Health Festival Helsinki, Finland was a truly eye-opening experience for Gareth Presch. Patricia Wu discuss how it’s no secret that Finland is renowned for being the happiest country in the world, but it seems their innovative approach to healthcare is another reason to celebrate. One of the most exciting takeaways from the festival was the focus on preventative care. Rather than simply treating illnesses after they arise, healthcare professionals are increasingly focusing on preventing them altogether. Imagine a world where we could avoid getting sick in the first place! Another fascinating development is the concept of “healthcare at home.” This innovative approach would allow patients to receive diagnoses and treatments from the comfort of their own homes, potentially revolutionizing the way we access medical care. Mental health was also a prominent topic at the festival. With mental illness on the rise, particularly among young people, there is a growing emphasis on addressing this critical issue. The festival explored various strategies for supporting mental health, including programs aimed at helping school children cope with stress and anxiety. Women’s health was another area that garnered significant attention. It’s a startling fact that only 2% of healthcare funding is currently allocated to women’s health. This is a major issue that needs to be addressed, and the festival sparked a renewed commitment to advocating for greater investment in this area. The Radical Health Festival provided a glimpse into a future where healthcare is more accessible, preventative, and personalized. The innovations and discussions that took place have ignited hope for a brighter and healthier future for all. KEY POINTS - Rather than simply treating illnesses after they arise, healthcare professionals are increasingly focusing on preventing them altogether. - Another fascinating development is the concept of “healthcare at home.” - It’s a startling fact that only 2% of healthcare funding is currently allocated to women’s health.
