Coaching, Acne Lasers, Women Health & Fertility — A Personal Update

Emily Rose AdamsA personal update from the editor

This one is a little different. No guest, just me — with some updates I've been wanting to share for a while and a look ahead at what's coming on The Health Review this summer.

takeaways

  1. Emily announces a summer series on The Health Review focused on women's health, covering fertility, UTIs, perimenopause, the vaginal microbiome, hormones and nutrition, with guests including the UK's leading embryologist and Dr Reem Al Sheikh.

  2. She shares that she has completed a 6-month coaching diploma with Andy Ramage's Coach Business School, is now taking on clients, and describes coaching as asking questions to help people shift limiting beliefs.

  3. Emily discusses working on her nervous system through acupuncture, meditation and slowing down, mentioning she is on an early fertility journey and feels she has a sensitive nervous system and strong gut-brain connection.

  4. She recounts trying AviClear laser for adult acne, finding it far more painful than expected at first but seeing improvement, and notes her acne seems linked to her hormones.

  5. Emily explains her methylation testing showed she is a slower detoxifier, so she focuses on fundamentals (sleep, gut health, movement, reducing toxic load) rather than longevity trends like NAD+.

  6. She rounds up health news including new non-invasive endometriosis tests (EndoTest and Endosure) backed by NICE draft guidance, growing interest in vaginal microbiome testing, and expanding research and cautions around GLP-1 drugs.
