Why Peace of Mind Should Be Built into Your Daily Routine

Peace of mind isn't just a luxury reserved for holidays or weekend getaways; it's a necessity that should be woven into the fabric of your everyday life. In a world that moves fast and demands more from us every day, having a sense of calm, control, and clarity can drastically change the way we live. Building peace of mind into your daily routine isn't about making huge life changes overnight – it's about small, thoughtful decisions that reduce stress and create stability.

This is a blog written by a recent client addition at PFP, Katie Reeves. On an initial consultation and body fat test (Biosignature) we discussed how some ingredients in certain beauty products can cause a hormonal imbalance.

She has done her own research to confirm the toxic effects of some of these products for herself. She does a pretty good job here of explaining her own findings and her new ‘natural skin care routine’. As an gentleman of a certain era I find the phase ‘skin care routine’ a tad baffling so am very grateful to her for writting this…

Green spaces may boost wellbeing for city dwellers

New research published in the journal Psychological Science has found that people living in urban areas with more green space tend to report greater wellbeing than city dwellers that don’t have parks, gardens, or other green space nearby. The research has been led by Dr Mathew White from the University of Exeter Medical School’s European Centre for Environment & Human Health. By examining data from a national survey that followed UK households over time, Dr White and colleagues at the European Centre have found that individuals reported less mental distress and higher life satisfaction...

From Saturday 13 April, the free Killerton parkrun event that takes place every Saturday at 9am returns home to its much-loved cross-country course in the parkland of Killerton National Trust estate near Exeter.

Back in February, Killerton’s historic parkland suffered water-logged ground conditions caused by months of persistent wet weather.

The slippery surface forced the popular community running event to temporarily relocate to a drier 5K course in neighbouring Ashclyst Forest.

Throughout this seven week relocation, volunteers and runners maintained their strong...

Killerton National Trust estate near Exeter has been declared ‘the perfect place for Nordic walking’ by Nordic Walking Devon.

Nordic walking is a full body exercise with specially designed poles that propel you forward as you walk. It’s a form of outdoor fitness that is easy on the joints because the poles take the weight off the knees and lower body joints which make you feel lighter on your feet. You work the entire major muscles in the body burning 20% - 40% more calories, yet strangely it feels easier than ordinary walking.

Older patients have higher expectations and are more satisfied with healthcare

New research on patients' experiences of health services and how these relate to their expectations and satisfaction, published by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, reveals that older people have higher expectations of their care and that they believe that their expectations are being met.

The research questions prevailing stereotypes that characterise older patients as being satisfied with their care because their expectations are lower.

Patients visiting their GP and hospital outpatient departments were surveyed before and after their consultations. They were...
