My name is Helen. I'm a health journalist and this is Not Your Normal Health Blog, the little corner of the internet I call home.
Why is it 'not normal'? Well for starters it was launched in a pub, but mostly because this is a place that aims to make being healthy quick, easy and painless. It's not all activated charcoal and £200 leggings.
This is a place for those who exercise so they can eat pizza. It's a place where exercise is fun - and occasionally called off because you had too much Prosecco the night before. It's a place for normal folk who just want to live a healthier life so they can live a longer one. Please, come make yourself at home.
