Issy Warrack
WellnessEQ Programme
Having suffered a health challenge and, as a result, becoming acutely aware that a lifestyle change was required, I sought answers regarding the types of food that we should eat. Advice was conflicting and, on discussing this with my partner, who is a medical doctor whose background encompasses 22 years of research, learned that modern diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart health, dementia and mental health are all increasing dramatically.
As a result of that conversation, she then researched the correct nutritious foods that we should eat to provide the foundation for a healthy lifestyle and the result is our WellnessEQ Programme which we started to use. The results were great: lost weight, reduced blood pressure, lower blood sugar, clarity of thought, enhanced mood, more energy and much more.
I was hooked and we started to talk to others who joined our WellnessEQ Programme, all of whom have experienced their own goals. One comment that they all make is ‘I love the choice of food that we can eat, how it makes me feel and the fact that this is a sustainable programme – in fact a total way of life’.

Paula Masterson
Swimsara Swimwear
An independent swimwear brand, we design and create swimwear that uses revolutionary tan-through fabric. Our innovative fabric is UVA protective, quick drying and breathable. Due to the way the fabric has been woven it allows a pre-determined amount of UVB rays to penetrate, enough to allow the skin to tan without burning. There is no need to wear sunscreen underneath the garment, meaning less harmful oils and suncream in our oceans.
Our designs are made by women for women and come in an array of bright colours and patterns in flattering styles. We produce small runs locally in Scotland as well as hand-make to order to minimise waste and to support sustainable fashion.
