Itchy, dry flaky scalp? 😥

Did you know that conventional dandruff shampoos that you might get in a pharmacy actually contain harsh chemicals that strip your hair and scalp’s natural oils?

No thank you.

This new, natural haircare duo from MooGoo targets dandruff at the root, with a dual anti-fungal formula - designed to restore balance to scalp and maintain a healthy scalp microbiome. Cooking menthol also clams the itch, and milk protein strengthens hair.

Did you know that Ozempic is now one of the world’s best-selling drugs worldwide, with sales recorded at $13.9 billion in 2023?

And in the UK, at least 1.6 million people have tried weight loss medication in the past year?

Perhaps you’re wondering about weight loss drugs, and are unsure about the options… So here are a few things you might want to think about first:

💉Potential side effects, like digestive issues, gallbladder issues, thyroid or pancreas issues, and possible impact on mood or mental wellbeing.
💉Muscle loss. Because weight loss isn’t just about shedding fat, and we need that all important muscle mass for metabolism, strength and long-term health.
💉Behaviour vs suppression. What’s your relationship with food like, and what will likely happen when you eventually reach your weight goal and come off the medication?
💉Nutritional considerations. As appetite reduces, this can result in key nutrients being missed, like protein, vitamins and minerals, so it’s key that the foundations of nutrition are in place well before going on weight loss medication.

Hands up if you’ve heard of cinnamon for blood sugar balance? 🤔

Multiple research studies have found that true cinnamon may help with the control of blood glucose. It’s also a lovely antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, and can delay stomach emptying, which may also support blood sugar levels.

But not all cinnamon is created equal! Did you know, there are two types of cinnamon - cinnamomum verum aka ‘true cinnamon’, and cinnamomum cassia. C cassia contains higher amounts of coumarin, which in large doses may be toxic to our liver.

Viridian’s organic cinnamon is 100% true cinnamon, equivalent to 4800mg of whole cinnamon (that’s a lot of cinnamon). Helping to maintain normal blood lipid levels and healthy blood sugar levels.

Come have a chat with us in store to see if this might be the right fit for you. 👋🏼

We get asked all the time in the shop how best to support weight loss, naturally. And while there’s no true magic pill for weight loss in nature, there are things we can do to support sustainable weight management.

Here are just some of the things you’re going to want to be thinking about when it comes to weight:

🌱 Fibre: Over 94% of us in the UK don’t get the recommended amount of fibre from our diets (30g per day). Yet fibre is one of the most powerful tools for appetite and metabolic health!
🎢 Blood sugar support: Keeping blood sugar stable helps reduce cravings and supports hormone balance. Ingredients like Ceylon cinnamon and fenugreek can be helpful tools for blood sugar balance.
💥 Supporting metabolic health: Chronic inflammation and poor metabolic health can make weight loss more difficult. Addressing inflammation can therefore be useful when it comes to weight management. We love anti-inflammatory ingredients like curcumin and olive fruit extract.
🎧 Managing ‘food noise’: For many people, weight gain isn’t just physiological – it’s behavioural and psychological. It’s important to remember that while being on weight loss medication may reduce your appetite while you’re on it, it won’t address the underlying relationship you have with food. Natural supports like carob can be useful when it comes to blood sugar and satiety.

It’s a boy! 💙👶🏼💙

For those regular customers who have been seeing Suzy get bigger and bigger over the last few months (and hearing all the updates from Louise!), we are VERY happy to announce that Suzy gave birth to a healthy baby boy a couple of weeks ago!

Welcoming Arthur Finn, born 2 May 2026 weighing 7lb 4oz.

We can’t wait to get our newest member of the GHB team up north for a shop visit soon (got to start ‘em young eh?).

To everyone who has asked after Suzy and the baby, and sent their well wishes over the last few weeks - thank you! It makes us even more grateful for our lovely customers and community 🥰
