Hull dad's tribute ride for baby who lived one day
A dad said he would be "forever grateful" to hospital staff who cared for both of his daughters - one of whom died the day after she was Turner's daughter Hope lived for just one day after being born 17 weeks early in March 2021 and lived only one day. Emilee was born 13 weeks early in 2019 and survived. Mr Turner, who is about to cycle 1,000 miles (1,609km) to raise money for Hull's neonatal unit, said the nurses went the extra mile for children on the ward by buying baby clothes, cotton wool and day-to-day items using their own money."Myself and my family are forever grateful for the care that they gave to my children and this is my way of giving back," he said. Weighing 1lb 11oz (764g), Emilee spent 13 weeks in Hull Women and Children's Hospital's neonatal had multiple operations and setbacks but, despite initially going home with a feed tube, the farmer from Hull said his daughter came on "leaps and bounds"."To look at her now you would never know – she's one of the tallest in her class but she used to fit on my hand," the 30-year-old added: "I don't know why - whether it being the care or the people around, I just always knew that she would be fine." Hope - Mr Turner's second child - was born 17 weeks early on 4 March 2021 and weighed 1lb 3oz (539g). After experiencing a collapsed lung and other complications, Hope died the day after she was born."Every week when you're born early matters - 13 weeks to 17 weeks is a dramatic difference," Mr Turner said."I looked on the wall because they had printed photos of the babies that made it through and she would've been the lightest baby to make it through the neonatal."Mr Turner said: "I was just nervous through it all. You never know what to expect and the worst thing for a parent to do is to lose a child."It's in the back of your mind but I'm trying to be strong for Emilee and everybody else in your family but inside I'm a little bit broken and holding it together through it all."Mr Turner described the support he and his partner received from the neonatal unit as "unbelievable"."I spoke to a few nurses who would buy clothes for parents that maybe didn't have it or didn't have enough," he said."Some of the nurses buy the cotton wool and day-to-day things themselves or through donations. That was really eye-opening while we were in there - just the amount of stuff that they do and the nurses themselves." Mr Turner is planning to cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats to honour both of his daughters. "Part of the reason I wanted to do this was to give back and the other part was to see how far I can physically push myself," he taking on a half marathon last year, Mr Turner hopes to run a full marathon and Dragon's Back race - an ultra-running race through the Welsh mountains."I would never have done any of that before. I would have just carried on being a farmer, doing my day-to-day life and never pushed my boundaries."Mr Turner is starting the challenge with two friends - Dan Peacock and Spencer Cooper - on 28 said he hopes the money raised the neonatal unit will help ensure other families receive the same level of care and support his family experienced."I would imagine every single person would know somebody that's had a child either go through the neonatal or have some form of care from the nurses in the neonatal and they really do go the extra mile," he said."There is nothing that they wouldn't do for a mother or father that's in there."

Tammy Hembrow's new supplement brand is already receiving rave reviews: ‘It's delicious'
The supplement market can feel so overwhelming at times. With endless options lining the shelves and flashy marketing promising quick fixes, it's tricky to find products that are natural, effective, and still taste good. But cutting through the noise is a new celebrity-founded supplement brand that's already generating buzz — and shoppers can't stop talking about it. Aussie fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow has teamed up with her two sisters, Amy and Emilee to create Selfish Supps. Selfish Supps is a range of healthy and effective supplements for women, that also taste delicious. 'So many women feel really confused or overwhelmed by the amount of supplements available and don't know where to start,' Tammy tells Best Picks. ' Everything felt too masculine, too complicated, too preachy or didn't taste good.' The range features five different products, Give Me Plant Protein, Give Me Protein Water, Hydrate Me, I Want Energy and Balance My Gut. Tasty and easy to drink, you can pick up the formulas for just $39.99 at Chemist Warehouse. Some of the scrumptious flavours include tropical crush, pink lemonade, juicy watermelon and blueberry bliss. Studies show that while women represent 40 per cent off the sports nutrition market in Australia, many are left still searching for effective sports nutrition. ' Supplement aisles are overwhelming and we didn't want women picking it up and wondering 'is this even right for me?' It's really clear what each product is for, and the things we've left out like gluten, soy and dairy,' Emilee explains. 'We're all mums, we know what it's like putting yourself last and the guilt that comes with investing in yourself,' Amy adds. The name 'Selfish' echoes the brands ethos; to encourage women to prioritise their own wellbeing. Shoppers have given the new supplements, a 5-star rating on Selfish Supps' website. 'Very delicious,' one shopper wrote. I have tried so many gut powders and they all taste so gross. I have been taking this for the last week and and obsessed with the flavour. It's also really helped with my bloating! Love it,' another reviewer added. 'A nice tasting, natural pre-workout which gave me no jitters,' a third impressed shopper commented.

Fitness queen Tammy Hembrow surprises fans with major announcement
Whether you're a gym enthusiast or starting a fitness journey, you've probably heard the scoop that protein shakes can give your workout a serious boost. In Australia's saturated sports nutrition market, most products are made with men in mind - packed with male-centric branding and an information overload, often leaving women feeling sidelined. But the Hembrow sisters - Tammy, Amy and Emilee - have flipped the script with Selfish Supps - a new sports nutrition brand offering seven nutritionally balanced formulas, made for women, by women. 'We just want women to know they deserve to take care of themselves, and it doesn't need to be complicated or overwhelming. Selfish is here to make prioritising your needs simple and guilt-free,' Tammy told Daily Mail Australia. Selfish Supps has launched exclusively at Chemist Warehouse, making sports nutrition more accessible and affordable for women of all kinds, while taking the guesswork out of figuring out what you need to reach your health and fitness goals. The multi-purpose formulas include: Give Me Plant Protein (Chocolate and French Vanilla), Give Me Protein Water (Tropical Crush and Very Berry), Hydrate Me (Pink Lemonade), I Want Energy (Juicy Watermelon), and Balance My Gut (Blueberry Bliss). Every product is backed by science and designed to support women's unique health and fitness needs - from energy, endurance and muscle tone to recovery, focus, gut health and hydration. The famous Gold Coast sisters saw a gap in the market for women's sports nutrition that's not only simple and delicious, but also helps fuel your body, whether for a workout or a workday. ' Selfish removes the stigma around women's sports nutrition. No bro science, no gym junkie jargon. It's a brand that speaks to women in their own language,' Emilee said. 'The packaging, product names and messaging - it's clear, simple, and supportive. You know exactly what you're getting and how it'll help you, without the confusion.' The sisters said shoppers should be most excited about the tasty flavours in their range, as they are 'meticulously crafted formulations' - without the chalky textures and gritty powders that many powders are typically known for. 'Honestly, not to brag but we've nailed the flavours,' Emilee said. 'They're so juicy, refreshing and don't leave any bad after-taste the way other powders can. 'It was really important to us to create products that women actually enjoy drinking, because if you don't enjoy it you won't be consistent and won't see results.' The idea to create Selfish came to mind after fitness queen Tammy was constantly bombarded with questions from her community of millions of fans, all seeking her recommendations. 'I realised how confusing the sports nutrition space was for women, and that nothing out there really spoke to us or prioritised our needs,' Tammy explained. 'Also, too many women feel guilty for putting themselves first or are called selfish when they choose to prioritise their own needs before others.' Her sister Amy couldn't agree more, explaining that 'mum guilt is so real'. 'I know I put a lot of pressure on myself to always show up for my kids, but you can't show up and be your best 100 per cent of the time. It's even harder if you're not looking after yourself physically and mentally,' Amy said. 'To me sports nutrition isn't just about dropping dress sizes or fuelling gym workouts. It's about having the strength to carry my kids, the energy to play with them and feeling really good about myself so that I can pass good habits on to them. ' Selfish champions that and recognises that every woman's goals are different.' If the sisters could only choose one Selfish product, Tammy's favourite is the Give Me Plant Protein. 'Protein intake is so important for women and I prioritise Give Me Plant Protein with every meal or snack. Ours are so creamy and smooth and give you 20g of vegan protein per serve,' she said. Her sister Amy couldn't get enough of Balance My Gut. 'Gut health is so important and Balance My Gut is unlike any other greens powder or gut health product I've tried,' Amy said. 'The blueberry flavour is really yummy and it has a much simpler ingredient list with 10 key nutrients so you're actually getting an efficacious dose.' The famous Gold Coast sisters saw a gap in the market for women's sports nutrition that's not only simple and delicious, but also helps fuel your body, whether for a workout or a workday Emilie said she's obsessed with Give Me Protein Water. 'I love the juicy flavours and they're perfect for the times you don't feel like a heavy shake or milky protein,' she explained. For any women curious about the new range, the sisters have shared their top picks. ' Give Me Plant Protein, Hydrate Me, and I Want Energy are my picks,' Tammy said. ' Protein is essential for women's energy, strength, and recovery. Hydrate Me for hydration you'll actually crave. And I Want Energy because I work out every day and need that extra boost of energy without the coffee crash or jitters.' Amy said her must-tries are Balance My Gut, Hydrate Me, and Give Me Protein Water. 'Gut support is a game changer, and the electrolytes in Hydrate Me are so important for recovery and feeling great,' she said. 'The protein waters are the easiest, lightest way to get extra protein in.' Selfish Supps flips the script with seven purposefully formulated sports nutrition products designed for women who want more - from their fitness, their mindset, and their goals Emilie said Hydrate Me, Give Me Plant Protein, and Balance My Gut are part of her daily routine. 'They're the ones I use daily and recommend to all my friends - simple, effective, and taste incredible,' she explained. 'I've never had a greens powder I actually enjoyed and would stick to until we created Balance My Gut.' Putting women at the forefront, the sisters are thrilled to see their brand Selfish Sups now rolling out in Chemist Warehouse stores nationwide. 'It's honestly surreal. We've worked so hard on this brand and to see it go from an idea to being on shelves in Chemist Warehouse is a pinch-me moment,' Tammy said. Amy said they are 'so proud' to see their products more accessible to women. 'Good nutrition should be available to everyone,' she said. Emilee agreed, adding: 'It's such a proud, full-circle moment. To build something with my sisters and now see it on shelves is the best feeling.' To shop the Selfish Supps range, click here.

Tammy, Emilee and Amy Hembrow launch a new sports nutrition brand for women: Selfish Supps
Australia's most popular fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow, has embarked on a new venture. The founder of fitness platform Tammy Fit and athleisure brand Saski, has stepped into the world of supplements along with her two sisters, Amy and Emilee. Making their own mark on the world of male-dominated supplements, the Hembrows have launched their very own brand, Selfish Supps, a range of effective and supportive nutrition products for women. 'So many women feel really confused or overwhelmed by the amount of supplements available and don't know where to start,' Tammy tells Best Picks. ' Everything felt too masculine, too complicated, too preachy or didn't taste good.' Describing the range as 'sports nutrition that gets women's bodies,' there's five different products in the launch; Give Me Plant Protein, Give Me Protein Water, Hydrate Me, I Want Energy and Balance My Gut. No matter your fitness journey or supplement experience, Selfish Supps are made to support women's unique health and fitness needs; from energy and endurance, to muscle tone, recovery, focus, gut health and hydration. Tasty and easy to drink, you can pick up the formulas for just $39.99 at Chemist Warehouse. If you've ever felt overwhelmed when walking down the supplements aisle, you're not alone. Studies show that while women represent 40 per cent off the sports nutrition market in Australia, many are left still searching for effective sports nutrition. Whether you're looking to tone your muscles, up your hydration or seeking an energy boost, Selfish Supps are science-backed formulas, designed to be added into a busy schedule. Unlike other supplements on the market, Selfish Supps provide women with ' simple, effective products,' created for the every day woman, no matter her fitness goals. As for the flavours, the Hembrows worked hard to create an enjoyable experience you'll actually want to drink everyday. 'We worked with a team of nutritionists to create high-quality formulas that balance effectiveness with experience. No chalky or gritty textures, or weird aftertastes,' Tammy explains. While each product contains all the good ingredients, the sisters share that it was equally important to clearly explain what each formula is designed for. ' Supplement aisles are overwhelming and we didn't want women picking it up and wondering 'is this even right for me?' It's really clear what each product is for, and the things we've left out like gluten, soy and dairy,' Emilee explains. Vegan, gluten-free and halal certified, Selfish Supps formulas are backed by science to support women's fitness needs. Each formula has a friendly price tag of just $39.99, which was an important decision the sisters made together. 'Good nutrition and taking care of yourself shouldn't be a luxury. We wanted women to feel like they can prioritise their health, as women, we already make so many other sacrifices every day,' says Tammy. The name 'Selfish' echos the brands ethos; to encourage women to prioritise their own wellbeing. 'We're all mums, we know what it's like putting yourself last and the guilt that comes with investing in yourself,' Amy adds. It's the first business all three sisters have embarked on together, combining their own shared experiences, including motherhood. 'We all bring something really different along with a lot of shared experiences as mothers and business owners so it's so nice being able to build this for our communities,' says Amy. ' It's chaos in the best way. Having the trust that we have in each other makes it a lot of fun,' adds Emilee.
