Live a Healthier Life

Forever UK & Ireland are excited to welcome Kieran to the Forever family, particularly as the first Brand Ambassador from Ireland and the first from the GAA world.
Kieran grew up in the remote, countryside hills of Pomeroy, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, and began his journey into the sport of GAA with the local club, Pomeroy Plunketts, at just six years old.
His success in representing the county of Tyrone began in 2012, when he was part of the winning team in the Ulster Minor Championship.  Following that, Kieran’s GAA career soared - this included captaining the Tyrone U21s team to All Ireland success in 2015.  However, Kieran’s most outstanding year to date was 2021 when, as part of the Tyrone County Senior Panel, they won the All-Ireland Championship title, picking up the much sought-after Sam Maguire Cup.  Kieran was subsequently given the PwC All Star award and named as the 2021 GAA/GPA Player of the Year.
Kieran’s success, along with his natural humility and determination has made him a well-known figure within the GAA world, inspiring many young players to follow in his footsteps.

Reset your body and your intentions with the all-new DX4 Body Balancing System  
We are so excited about the launch of our brand-new body balancing system, DX4, that we wanted to take a deeper look into the science behind the system, and explore a little more about how the programme can help you to jump-start your wellness in just four days! 
 Launched at Global Rally 2022, DX4 is the latest in Forever’s line-up of health and wellness products. The four-day programme helps you reassess your physical, mental, and spiritual health through nutritional support, mindset practices, and guided food intake.  
Beyond that, DX4 teaches you to adopt a more mindful, intentional approach to how you are eating and taking care of your body. The nutritional support, structured meal plan, and mindset activities combine to provide a programme greater than the sum of its parts, helping you learn to live a cleaner and healthier lifestyle after the four days are complete.  
So, how is DX4 is different from other body-balancing systems?  
DX4 takes a comprehensive approach to how you view food and asks the question “why do you feel hungry?” It is not a weight loss programme; instead, it is a controlled assessment of what your body needs versus what your brain wants. Through a guided programme, DX4 walks you along the path toward an enhanced mind-body connection. It balances physical health — through nutritional products and supplements and a structured meal plan — with mindfulness, goal setting and gratitude. All the programme’s functions are designed to work in tandem with one another to help you experience improved overall health.  
How did science drive the development of DX4?  
Science was absolutely crucial in the formulation of the DX4 programme. It was important to select quality ingredients with clinically backed research.  
The effectiveness of each ingredient and the research behind every aspect of DX4 really sets it apart. We have met both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Food Safety Authority requirements for all vitamins or minerals noted on the labels, and have done so at safe and effective levels. Beyond that, we have utilized peer-reviewed and clinically proven ingredients and performed quality and safety testing of the raw ingredients and the finished products that comprise the DX4 system. 

How was the structure of the programme determined?  

Each ingredient is rigorously researched and formulated to work in tandem. Because this is coupled with mindset activities and a meal plan, you get a programme that will help you readjust your relationship with food. Our research and development team did a deep dive on new ingredients to help with these systems as well as implemented the existing Forever product, Forever Aloe Vera Gel.  

Why is the mindset aspect of DX4 so important?  
Perhaps the most important part of DX4 is how we (in our minds) perceive our mood, our eating impulses, and the decisions we make during stressful days. This programme will ask you to take time for yourself, practice mindfulness exercises, and set a goal. Sometimes our minds and bodies need a soft restart in order to be our best selves — and that’s exactly what DX4 is.  
How can DX4 support your wellness goals?  

The intent of DX4 is to help you reassess your relationship with food and your lifestyle. Because there will always be stressors and distractions in life, it’s important to make a reset such as this part of your healthy lifestyle routine. For best results, it is recommended to do DX4 multiple times per year, but you should have three months between each programme. Doing this reset each quarter will help you have a healthier mindset over time. Before you can make a sustainable change, you must address the inner workings of your body, mind and spirit to cultivate an enduring and complete wellness spectrum — and that is what DX4 does. By rebooting the body and mind at the foundational level of wellness, and repeating this reboot throughout the year, you will experience more balance. 

What aspect of the DX4 programme are you most excited for? Let us know in the comments below. 

 Following our fundraising for Birmingham Women & Children’s Hospital, we were invited to attend a special event last Sunday at the Library in Birmingham as one of the Hospital charity’s 100 Heroes. 
It’s the charity’s first physical event in three years, and Aimee and Cristina represented Forever at the event.  Along with other fundraisers, Forever was commemorated with a special red balloon at the front of the hospital which will be on display for the next 12 months. 
We want to say a big thank you to the wider Forever family who generously donated. You may remember that we focused our exercise activity on walking, mountain climbing, cycling and running to raise £3,000 for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital charity.  
We are extremely fortunate to have this specialist paediatric centre in our area; a number of Forever families have directly experienced the care and support of BCH so we were extremely motivated to reach our target of £3,000; the amount that is needed to provide the care for a child and family support for one year. Given the constraints placed on us all by the pandemic; not being able to be together we chose individual exercise goals that would challenge and motivate us and that we could achieve safely. 
Birmingham Children’s Hospital cares for 90,000 children and young people across the West Midlands each year including kids from Warwick and the surrounding areas. Its charity raises funds for projects and services that fall outside the remit of the NHS. This includes helping to improve hospital environment and patient experience to make the time children have to spend with at the hospital more comfortable, helping to find breakthrough cures and treatment through research funding and enabling the hospital to purchase the latest state-of-the-art equipment.
