Cycle-Based Supplementation A Precision Approach to Reducing Fluid Retention At Wellvia, we understand that fluid retention is not a flaw — it is a biological signal. Hormonal fluctuations across the menstrual cycle influence how the body manages water, electrolytes, inflammation, and detoxification. When these shifts are supported correctly, fluid balance becomes regulated rather than reactive. This is why Wellvia takes a cycle-based, data-driven approach to supplementation

Protein has become the nutritional currency of modern wellness. From gym floors to clinical consultations, one question keeps resurfacing: is it simply about how much protein we consume, or does when we consume it truly matter? At Wellvia, where evidence-led health meets real-life sustainability, the answer is refreshingly balanced. Three Camps, One Conversation In the wellness and performance space, protein philosophy tends to fall into three schools of thought. First, there

The gut and brain connection is a fascinating and vital aspect of our health. I have discovered that the gut is not just a digestive organ but a complex system that communicates directly with the brain. This connection influences everything from mood to immunity. Understanding this link can transform how we approach wellness and personalised health solutions. The Gut and Brain Connection: More Than Just Digestion The gut and brain connection works through a network of nerves,

A Refined Framework for Personalised Wellbeing At Wellvia.uk , we believe true wellness begins with understanding — not assumptions, trends, or quick fixes. Our Wellness Indicators Wheel  is a carefully considered framework designed to reveal how your body responds to nutrition, lifestyle, and modern environmental influences. Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, we take a whole-body, whole-life view — allowing for deeply personalised, preventative guidance that supports

Why the Future of Performance, Recovery, and Longevity Isn’t About More — It’s About Better Signalling In the new era of preventative and performance medicine, the most powerful interventions are rarely the loudest. They are quiet. Specific. Biologically fluent. Peptides — short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules — are redefining how modern health is approached. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals, peptides do not force change. They deliver instructions, nu

A Cycle-Aligned Framework for Performance, Recovery, and PMS Management High-performing women do not need more supplements — they need better timing, clearer intent, and physiological respect for the menstrual cycle . The female endocrine system is not a liability to be managed; it is a performance variable to be leveraged . When training and supplementation are aligned with cyclical hormonal shifts, outcomes improve: strength is preserved, fatigue is reduced, and PMS becomes

Protein, Fibre, and the Epigenetic Intelligence of the Gut By Wellvia In the age of optimisation, health has become a numbers game. Macros are calculated, reps are tracked, and protein targets are treated as non-negotiable. The equation is familiar: Bodyweight: 70 kg Protein target: 1.6 g/kg Daily intake: 112 g Outcome: Lean mass, strength, performance On the surface, it’s flawless. But biology is not built on spreadsheets. And at Wellvia, we ask a deeper question: What if yo

A Wellvia perspective on timing, biology, and why one size never fits all Intermittent fasting has become one of the most talked-about wellness practices of the last decade. Praised by some as a metabolic reset and dismissed by others as another fleeting trend, it sits at the intersection of science, lifestyle, and personal preference. So— does it really work? And more importantly: does it work for you ? At Wellvia , we view intermittent fasting not as a rulebook, but as a to

Identification of deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, or amino acids  represents a critical step in precision nutrition. Biomarker-driven insight allows for targeted intervention rather than generalized dietary advice. However, once a deficiency is identified, a key clinical and practical question remains: Should deficiencies be corrected through supplementation, food-based dietary modification, or a combination of both? At Wellvia , individualized nutr

At Wellvia, we believe better health starts with understanding the individual—not assumptions, trends, or generic protocols. The image above comes from a real case study of one of our clients. It represents a detailed nutritional and fatty acid profile, with the nutrients highlighted in green indicating identified deficiencies or suboptimal levels . These gaps were impacting the client’s energy, recovery, and overall sense of wellbeing despite an otherwise healthy lifestyle.

The Supplement Combinations to Avoid — and Why Guessing Is Costing You Money Walk into any supplement store and you’ll see shelves promising more energy, stronger immunity, healthier joints, and a longer life. Most people respond by stacking products — a multivitamin plus  extra vitamins, minerals, and herbs — assuming they’re “covering all bases.” In reality, this approach often does the opposite. Instead of improving health, indiscriminate supplement stacking can reduce abs

Walk into any health store or browse wellness products online and you’ll find shelves filled with powders, capsules, and gummies marketed as universal solutions for energy, immunity, improved sleep, better skin, recovery, and overall vitality. The promise is simple: take one scoop, one capsule, one standard dose — and your system is supported. However, human biology does not conform to standardised servings. Not everyone should be taking the same dose of vitamins, minerals, o

Wellvia: The Truth About Protein This week, we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood pieces of the wellness and performance puzzle— protein . More specifically, how to stop wasting protein and finally start getting results. This week, it’s about fuel . Because you can send the strongest signal in the world, but without the biological building blocks, nothing happens. Think of trying to build a house with only half the bricks. You can have the blueprint, the tools, and

The connection between our emotions and digestion goes far beyond a simple “gut feeling.” Research reveals that emotional stress can trigger measurable physical changes in the digestive system, influencing how we break down food, absorb nutrients, and respond emotionally. At Wellvia , we explore how this powerful mind-gut connection shapes overall well-being, the role the gut-brain axis plays, and how nutrition and lifestyle factors can naturally support both digestive health

When we think about food, we often focus on calories, nutrients, or the latest diet trend. But emerging science reveals a far more powerful story— the foods we eat influence how our genes behave , and even more astonishingly, these effects may be passed on to future generations. Welcome to nutrition epigenetics , where diet becomes a conversation between your plate and your DNA. What Is Epigenetics? The Blueprint and the Switches If your genes are the blueprint that builds yo
