As we step into 2026, many of us are setting New Year’s health goals - whether it’s losing weight, sleeping better, quitting smoking, managing pain, or simply wanting more energy and vitality.

At Lygon Everyday Chemist, we know that long-lasting health doesn’t come from quick fixes. It comes from strengthening the fundamentals of wellbeing - the everyday habits that lay the groundwork for lifelong health.

That’s why this year we’re focusing on the Four Pillars of Health:

• Nutrition
• Movement
• Sleep
• Mental Health

These pillars underpin most of the chronic conditions we see in pharmacy - from heart disease and diabetes to pain, mood challenges and addictive behaviours.

Pillar 1 - Nutrition

Nutrition influences blood sugar, cholesterol, inflammation, gut health, hormones and mood. We support this through personalised supplement advice, gut health programs, weight and metabolic support, and practical nutrition education.

Pillar 2 - Movement

Movement supports circulation, joint health, muscle strength, balance and mental wellbeing. We assist with pain clinics, leg health, compression therapy, mobility aids and recovery support.

Pillar 3 - Sleep

Sleep is essential for immune function, cardiovascular health and mental clarity. We offer bulk-billed sleep apnoea testing with GP referral, sleep assessments, CPAP support and follow-up care.

Pillar 4 - Mental Health

Mental health influences every system in the body. We provide supportive consultations, medication reviews, stress support and holistic care.

What’s Coming in January

We’ll explore smoking cessation, addiction support, weight loss, pain management and general vitality - helping you turn New Year’s resolutions into sustainable habits.

Here for Good. Every Day.
