As the chairwoman of Lumity, could you share with our community how you first discovered the brand and what inspired you to become a part of its journey?

I was asked to be a part of a small group of people to trial Dr Palmer-Hussey’s Morning & Night formulation in 2015. Although initially hesitant, as I had a pretty good regime of vitamins and omega 3 in place, I was impressed with the thoroughness of the research process and the focus on formulating something that had biological rigour. 

I was truly impressed with the difference the supplements had on my health over a 12-week period.  My sleep was deeper, and I woke up more alert, my skin was brighter, I had more energy which led to a better mood and my nails grew.  Best of all, my pre-menstrual symptoms had significantly improved. Before Lumity I had started taking tranexamic acid because of super heavy flow and now I could throw this medication in the bin.

This was a product I needed in my life, and I got involved because selfishly I wanted to ensure I could buy it for myself.


Lumity is known for its commitment to women's health and empowerment. What aspect(s) of Lumity's mission resonates with you the most, and how do you personally connect with the brand's values?

I love that the products are designed as tools to help you live life on your terms – there is no ideal Lumity way, just your way.  It is all about circadian rhythm and balance – day and night, work and play, the ups and downs. The Morning & Night supplement supports us no matter how our systems show up each day and the skin nutrients products are so nourishing and effective. It’s the perfect capsule collection, in a world strewn with complex and often contradictory wellness advice.

Can you share the impact that Lumity Morning & Night has had on your life?

I have shared above the initial impact of the supplement which was so powerful. I’m eight years older now and am experiencing a range of hormonal changes. However, I firmly believe that Lumity Morning & Night, alongside other lifestyle commitments like yoga, walking, cold showers, healthier eating, choices etc. has helped me navigate this stage of life well thus far. I continue to have good sleep which is something I am so grateful for. On a more practical level my hairdresser is astounded at how fast and strong hair grows and my dentist gives my gum health full marks. Both areas of marked improvement. It’s hard to know what would happen if I stopped taking Lumity but to be honest it is a risk I’m not keen to take!

As a leader in the industry, what advice would you give to women navigating their wellness journeys and looking to make positive lifestyle changes?

I am no oracle on how to live a healthy life, but I am happy to share my thoughts. Food is a major contributor to how you feel. I eat when I am hungry, which usually starts at 11am and ends by 8pm. I am a snacker, so I stay well away from the kitchen when I am working from home. I drink herbal tea to hydrate (I find water so boring) and mint or fennel tea after eating. I prefer to walk everywhere, and I practise yoga to energise and calm in equal measure. I track my cycle and avoid drinking any alcohol at certain times as the impact can be intense. I have a cold shower every day and I love a good dance around the kitchen. I never weigh myself but check in whether I’m feeling heavy or light in my body and dress accordingly. My best tip is to have compassion for yourself. Easier said than done I know but caring about myself, means I make better choices, one of these being spending hard earned money on supplements that work.


As someone actively involved in shaping Lumity's future, how do you see the brand evolving to continue supporting and empowering women in the years to come?

One of my biggest hopes is that we can move away from pigeon-holding people by their chronological age. I don’t just mean in the media and in society but also in our healthcare system.  I believe that biological age should be considered when thinking about how to support or improve someone’s health or treat an illness/disease. This is especially the case when we are older and fall into certain age tick boxes which define protocols. At Lumity we believe our formulations support the youthful efficiency of your biological system, therefore it should have a positive impact on how you are ageing. I am very excited about the plans we have to test and measure this over the coming year. As a brand we could play a small part in a huge area of change over the years ahead.


Are there any milestones or goals you hope to achieve, to further Lumity's impact on women's wellness?

At Lumity, community is the heart of everything we do. On a mission to foster connections and provide a supportive space for conversation, we’re inspired by the women empowering each other throughout their wellness journeys. We recognise that our commitment to female empowerment must start within our workplace - last year we signed the Menopause Workplace Pledge to support those navigating their own menopausal journeys within our team.

The ever-evolving needs of the women within our community have a direct impact on our product development too - this year we’ll be continuing to explore the advances in scientific research and innovation to ensure that our products consistently meet the needs of our customers.

An incredibly important and exciting milestone that I’m so proud to share, (you heard it here first) is our recent attainment of B Corp Certification! A huge milestone for our team - who have dedicated huge amounts of focus and determination to build a brand we are proud of. As one of the only supplement brands to have achieved B Corp status, we hope this news highlights our ambition and commitment to social and environmental responsibility within the wellness industry.
