My name is Gabriela Vonhaz, I am a Pharmacist registered with the British General Pharmaceutical Council. I have a PhD in Pharmacy and am a certified Pharmacist Independent Prescriber. I have a tremendous passion for helping people improve their quality of life through understanding there is more than one way to care for their health and wellbeing. My career path stretches over two decades across multiple pharmaceutical fields, from multinational pharmaceutical companies to Community Pharmacy, GP practices, care homes and hospitals. Whilst being well versed in traditional allopathic medicines, throughout my career I paid great interest to traditional, natural remedies and various nutritional supplements that could complement modern treatments. Nutritional supplements can address deficiencies and enhance and optimise health. I take a holistic view on medication, either man or nature-made.
Sports Supplements
I am a keen skiers, tennis and squash player and witness every day in the sports community how the right supplements can help and enhance physical and mental wellbeing.
With a huge product choice of protein powders, specific vitamins, minerals and gel-based products, sport supplements play an important role in supporting you achieve your best performance.
However, not all supplements are created equal, and not all supplements are safe for everybody. As the sports supplements market is large and virtually unregulated, there is a high chance of coming across uncontrolled products that might contain harmful substances from uncertified sources. Buying over-the-counter or products off the internet without proper consultation or directions, can have serious consequences on both your health and your future in sport.
If you feel lost in the endless sea of sport supplements, unsure what would be the best product for you, I can help. As a trained pharmacy professional, I can advise on how to choose the right sport supplement for your needs, from proteins, vitamins and aminoacids, to post-workout recovery powders, minerals, probiotics and omega fatty acids.
Longevity & Wellbeing
Modern times brought not only progress but a faster pace in our daily lives, poorer dietary choices, less physical activity and outdoor time, more stress and reduced sleep. All these greatly impact health, deplete the body of essential nutrients and raise the occurrence of chronic conditions.
It is increasingly evident that a healthy lifestyle gives a “broad base of resilience” against chronic diseases. An investigation on the association between wellbeing and incidence of age-related chronic disease has shown that greater wellbeing has been linked with lower incidence of cancer, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Numerous findings suggest that there is a strong relationship between emotional wellbeing and physical health, and a documented link between negative emotions and subsequent health outcomes. There is compelling evidence that a positive mindset, together with maintaining and preserving muscle mass at any age contribute to optimal hormonal health and increased longevity.
If you suffer from a chronic disease, struggle with menopause, take medicines and are interested in how to improve your vitality and wellbeing with the help of supplements, I can help you. If you are healthy, have a good lifestyle and would like to improve your stamina and wellbeing, aim to live better and longer, I can help you with professional, personalised advice regarding vitamins, minerals and various supplements.
