🌦️ WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES OVERNIGHT… YOUR BODY NOTICES TOO

We’re travelling along the Dorset coast in Osito, and the weather has certainly changed! Yesterday was warm and sunny; today we’ve had chilly wind, rain and sunshine — sometimes within the same hour. ☀️🌧️💨

In Chinese Medicine, these seasonal transitions matter. The body is continually adapting to its environment, and sudden changes in temperature, wind and damp can be challenging — particularly when we’re still living as though it’s summer.

🍂 WIND, COLD & DAMP

Traditionally, Wind, Cold and Damp are external influences associated with symptoms such as stiffness, headaches, congestion, feeling chilled or heavy, sluggish digestion and that general “run-down” feeling.

Autumn is also associated with the Lung system and Wei Qi — our protective or defensive Qi.

So as the weather changes:

🍲 Choose more warm, cooked foods
🧣 Protect your neck and upper back from chilly winds
☕ Swap iced drinks for warm water or herbal teas
🌾 Eat regular meals to support the Spleen & Stomach
😴 Allow a little more rest as the days shorten
🍐 Bring in seasonal foods such as pears, apples, squash, mushrooms and root vegetables

And perhaps most importantly, don’t wait for the calendar to tell you the season has changed.

Notice what’s happening outside and adapt.

For us in Dorset, that currently means sunglasses at lunchtime and a waterproof and extra layer by 4pm. 😂

Chinese Medicine reminds us that living seasonally means adapting with our environment rather than fighting against it. 🌿

🍂 BACK TO SCHOOL. BACK TO THE OFFICE. BACK TO… EVERYONE’S GERMS?

September brings a familiar shift.

Children are back at school, offices get busier, commutes return — and suddenly it feels like everyone has a cold.

It’s not your imagination. As we move towards autumn, we spend more time indoors and in closer contact, making it easier for respiratory viruses to spread. Changes in daylight, sleep, stress and routine can also affect the systems that support our immune health.

So rather than waiting until you feel ill, now is a good time to strengthen the foundations. 🌿

✨ YOUR SEPTEMBER IMMUNE-SUPPORT CHECKLIST

🥝 Eat the rainbow
Fruit, vegetables, herbs, legumes, nuts and seeds provide vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients while supporting a diverse gut microbiome.

🦠 Look after your gut
Prioritise fibre-rich plant foods and fermented foods alongside plenty of variety.

😴 Protect your sleep
Sleep and immune function are closely connected. Consistently getting too little can affect immune responses.

🚶‍♀️ Keep moving
Regular moderate exercise supports overall health and immune function — and getting outside gives you valuable daylight too.

💧 Stay hydrated
It’s surprisingly easy to drink less as the weather cools.

🧼 Remember the basics
Hand washing, fresh air and good ventilation still matter when bugs are circulating.

✨ WHAT’S IN MY WELLBEING CUPBOARD?

🍊 Zooki Liposomal Vitamin C — vitamin C contributes to normal immune function and protection from oxidative stress.

💛 Zooki Zinc — another important nutrient for normal immune function.

🦠 Zooki Biotics+ — something I use alongside a varied, fibre-rich diet to support gut health.

🌱 KIKI Health Nature’s Living Superfood — an easy way to add a wider variety of plant-based nutrients when life gets busy.

Supplements are the supporting cast, not the whole story.

Food, sleep, movement, daylight, stress management and good hygiene are still the foundations.

September is the perfect time to give those foundations a little more attention. 🍂🌿

SAVE this for your September wellbeing reset.

Supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

🇬🇧 Back in the UK… and my skin has definitely noticed.

After an amazing three months travelling around Europe, we’re home for a little while — catching up with friends and family before the next part of our adventure.

And within days, my skin became so dry.

It could be the change in climate, humidity or water, combined with the cumulative effects of summer. ☀️ Heat, UV exposure, swimming, sweating and air conditioning can all increase water loss and disrupt the skin barrier.

So I’ve gone straight back to one of my favourite skin-rescue rituals:

🍯 Manuka Doctor MGO 540 Manuka Honey

I apply a thin layer to clean skin, leave it for 20–30 minutes, rinse, then tone and moisturise.

Manuka honey is naturally humectant, helping attract and retain moisture, while its soothing and antioxidant properties make it lovely for dry, stressed skin. MGO-rated Manuka also contains methylglyoxal, associated with its distinctive antibacterial activity.

I choose Manuka Doctor because it’s genuine New Zealand Manuka honey with a clearly stated, independently certified MGO rating — so I know exactly what I’m putting on my skin.

🔴 I’m also bringing back my red light routine.

I use a face mask and larger body mat. Red and near-infrared light — or photobiomodulation — interact with our cells and may support cellular energy production, collagen, elasticity and circulation, while helping calm inflammation.

The key? Consistency rather than expecting an overnight transformation.

So my post-travel skin reset is simple:

🍯 Manuka honey mask
💧 Hydration + barrier support
🔴 Regular red light therapy
☀️ Daily SPF

🔴 I’ve also handpicked the red light therapy products I rate in my TikTok Shop over at .world.

Has anyone else noticed their skin changing after travelling or when the weather changes? 🤍

☀️ What actually happens to your skin during a heatwave?

If your skin feels tighter, duller or more sensitive in hot weather, it’s not your imagination.

Heat doesn’t just make you sweat—it also increases water loss from your skin, generates free radicals through UV exposure and can weaken your skin barrier. Over time, this may contribute to dryness, sensitivity, pigmentation and premature skin ageing.

Supporting your skin isn’t just about what you put on it—it’s also about what you put in your body.

My summer essentials include:
💧 Staying hydrated and replacing electrolytes when needed with Zooki Hydration+
🍊 Zooki Liposomal Vitamin C to support normal collagen formation and help protect cells from oxidative stress
🥤 Raw Beauty Lab Vegan Protein + Collagen to help me meet my daily protein needs
🌿 Kiki Health Nature’s Living Superfood to boost my intake of nutrient-rich greens, especially while travelling

Of course, none of these replace the foundations:
✔️ Daily SPF
✔️ A colourful, balanced diet
✔️ Good hydration
✔️ Consistent skincare

Healthy, resilient skin starts from within. ✨

☀️ Your skin doesn’t just need SPF… it needs recovery too.

We spend a lot of time thinking about protecting our skin before we go into the sun, but what we do afterwards matters just as much.

UV exposure creates oxidative stress – free radicals that can damage collagen, elastin and the skin barrier. That’s why skin can feel dry, tight and more sensitive after a sunny day, while repeated exposure contributes to premature skin ageing.

One of the things I love about is their focus on simple botanical ingredients. Their DIY Sun Recovery Balm combines:

💛 Shea Butter – supports the skin barrier.
🥕 Carrot Oil – rich in antioxidants.
🌰 Jojoba Oil – helps lock in moisture.
🌹 Rosehip Oil – supports skin repair.
🤍 Zinc Oxide – helps soothe skin (but isn’t a replacement for sunscreen).

Recovery isn’t just about what you apply to your skin…

During this heatwave I’m also supporting my skin from within with:

💧 Zooki Hydration+ to replace fluids and electrolytes.
🍋 Zooki Vitamin C to support collagen production and antioxidant defence.
🦠 Zooki Biotics+ Everyday to support the gut–skin connection.

And don’t forget one area we often overlook…

💋 Wild’s SPF 25 Refillable Lip Balm helps protect and nourish one of the body’s most UV-sensitive areas, making it an everyday essential in my bag.

Healthy summer skin is about combining:
☀️ SPF
💧 Hydration
🥗 Antioxidant-rich nutrition
🌿 Nourishing skincare
😴 Time to recover

✨ Fushi: Up to 15% off selected products with code LauraJonesAcupuncture.

✨ Zooki: 20% off with code LauraJones20.

✨ Wild: 20% off with code LauraJ20.

How do you help your skin recover after a day in the sun? ☀️💚

🥵 Did you know heatwaves can affect women differently than men?

Research suggests women are often at greater risk of heat-related illness because they typically sweat less and start sweating at a higher body temperature. While this helps conserve fluids, it can make it harder to cool down during extreme heat.

Hormones also play a role.

☀️ Oestrogen helps dilate blood vessels and dissipate heat.

☀️ Progesterone raises core body temperature.

This means your ability to cope with heat can change throughout your menstrual cycle, during pregnancy, and throughout perimenopause and menopause.

Signs your body may be struggling in the heat:

💧 Headaches
💧 Dizziness
💧 Fatigue
💧 Brain fog
💧 Poor sleep
💧 Increased hot flushes

How to cope:

✓ Drink water regularly (not just when thirsty)
✓ Add electrolytes if you’re sweating heavily
✓ Avoid intense exercise during the hottest part of the day
✓ Eat water-rich foods like cucumber, melon and berries
✓ Use cooling strategies such as cool showers or cold packs on pulse points

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, irritable or foggy during this heatwave, it may not be “just the heat”—your hormones could be amplifying its effects.
