For many, 2020 was a year which tested peoples mental wellbeing and showed them the importance of dedicating time and effort to not only their mental health but checking on those around them. As the world slowed down many people were isolated away from friends and family, government hotlines experienced record numbers of calls and we saw an emergence in practices such as mindfulness and meditation. As our world transitions into the new normal these lessons haven’t been forgotten with many people maintaining the focus on close human connection and setting aside for self-care.

With an increased appreciation for our medical industries an increasing number of individuals are embracing surgery to secure a happy and healthy future. Surgeries such Abdominoplasty and gastric sleeve cost well below what they used and those who struggle with their weight and health are using these surgeries as a kickstart on their health journey.
