Hum2n Bone Strong Therapy, from £1,000

Developed in line with Wolff’s Law — the scientific principle that bone tissue adapts to the stress placed upon it — Hum2n’s Bone Strong therapy uses brief, high-intensity mechanical loading that is said to trigger the body’s natural bone-building response. Each 20–30 minute session applies controlled resistance to key skeletal areas such as the hips and spine, aiming to promote improved bone density, posture, and muscular strength. The therapy offers a low-impact, science-led approach to maintaining skeletal health, supported by research in osteogenic adaptation and bone physiology. www.hum2n.com

At The NAD Clinic, an intravenous infusion delivers Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD⁺) — a coenzyme essential for cellular energy production and DNA repair — directly into the bloodstream for optimal absorption. According to the clinic’s medical team, NAD⁺ levels naturally decline with age and stress, which may contribute to fatigue, cognitive fog, and slower recovery. The 60–90 minute infusion aims to restore cellular energy and vitality, with clients typically completing a short course of treatments for cumulative results. www.nadclinic.com

Next, an herbal antiseptic gel infused with rosemary and thyme is applied, activated by red LED light to help boost circulation and cellular repair, before the second phase, led by Bradden, integrates acupuncture, acupressure, and LED light therapy, said to help sculpt the face, stimulate collagen, and restore energy flow. www.nejaticlinic.com
