Well, it wasn’t an easy year, but sometimes the most challenging things become the most valuable things in life. If you had asked me if had asked me in my 20’s would being diagnosed with two auto-immune diseases be a “good” or “bad” thing, well the simplistic naive me would have said bad. But this is all a relative judgement. It gave me insights I would never have understood…
Way back in October, before we had our limbic systems tickled by the media on variants of a famous virus (currently looking milder, so probably good news overall). We talked about the beautiful synergy that is magnesium and vitamin B6. https://lessons.academyofchiropracticnutrition.com/why-magnesium-b6-are-a-marriage-made-in-heaven/ This is why we have not one but two magnesium products. If you are giving magnesium on its own without the one a day…
As I do more and more 1:1 nutritional consulting, one thing I consistently find astonishing and upsetting is the number of patients who have suffered what we could classify as adverse childhood events or ACE’s. The reality is these are common and can significantly affect people’s physiology and mental health. Note that stress per se is not an issue. We do not want to raise…
I had a wonderful time last weekend in Edinburgh lecturing for the SOTO-Europe seminar of excellence. It was just so nice to be with like-minded clinicians all there ready to learn! We talked about vitamin D and I had some follow up from a few DC’s on children, so I have recycled a newsletter from Jan 2020 on dosing for kids & growing pains, plus…
Following on last week’s news letter on toxins, I want to tell you a story. It is 2008 and I am on holiday in Sharma El Sheikh with my then girlfriend (now wife) relaxing with a shisha or two. and casually swimming with whale sharks (they are ludicrously big, it is hard to get your head around until you are in the water with them)….
Before we start, a quick request. In the new year we are going to open the course up again and really begin to build our movement of results-driven practitioners. No more theory and fluff, we like it all killer, no filler. We are all about the interface between our Neuo-mechanical world and the metabolic world. So please forward these to other practitioners and suggest they…
I have prepared another video for you today all about amino acids and how they are so useful for our patients. The concept here is simple and you may well think, as I explain the concept, that it is obvious, and yet many of you will not have known this before. Often, the most profound and universally truthful concepts seem so obvious when they are…

Enjoy, ACTIONS TO TAKE: – You pre-order the magnesium citrate, magnesium plus and One a day multi…
I have prepared a video for you today all about a very under-utlitsed but highly effective nutrient, carnitine. From fibromyalgia, to cognitive issues, to heart issues and depression, carnitine can be amazing. It is all about energy production and specifically from fat burning, Enjoy, https://vimeo.com/637806143/26c4bbe2a1 ACTIONS TO TAKE: – Trial 2g Acetyl-L-Carnitine with 50mg B2 for yourself, family or a patient and see if you feel a…
When it comes to bending the truth for increasing sales, there is no one better than the pharmaceutical industry. They are absolute masters. They love to increase the risk of an issue/disease or increase the benefits of a drug/intervention by taking an absolute risk reduction and turning it into a relative risk reduction. For example, how can they make a 1% increase in risk (absolute…
