For many years I have used multiple brands of supplements, endlessly reading the labels looking at which nutrients were included, in which form and at what dose. You see, when it comes to supplements the devil really is in the detail. But that detail is only visible if you have read the scientific literature at a deep level. So I have often used different brands…
His name is Tony and talks like what he is…..a London geezer. But his easy manner put people at ease and he has a way with those who work for him. Tony is a manager at a very large kitchen show room and has around 22 people working for him. He is for a check up on his back and says he has been checking in…

Welcome to all my neuro-mechanically minded colleagues, but before we get in it, a warm welcome to the new members on this list from the British Chiropractic Association (BCA). On Wednesday night, I shared a romantic night in with over 400 members of the BCA whilst we canoodled in front of zoom and I whispered sweet nothings into their ears about vitamin D…..and they say romance…
“I just want to adjust”. I hear that quite a lot and (if I’m honest) I’m actually the same when I’m in my Chiropractic environment. If I can SUSTAINABLY improve function with neuro-mechanical intervention and the patient is remodelling/healing, they will tell me they are feeling better, then I am happy to do neuro-mechanical intervention on its own aka “I just want to adjust”. Though actually…
Back in the day (2007 in fact) when I first went gluten free and starting eating to manipulate my microbiome, I was quite the crazy person. I didn’t eat starch at all, I fermented vegetables and took bacteria as supplements, what a nutter! These days I am positively mainstream, I can walk into most supermarkets and buy fermented sauerkraut, kombucha and gluten free goods as…

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA, over 93 percent of endangered species and 96 percent of their habitats are likely to be harmed by glyphosate.

This movement is starting to feel really special and it will grow and grow as the world of nutrition and functional medicine…
Last week we talked about the gut microbiome and how it might be one aspect of why some people cope with COVID-19 and some do not. You and your immune system developed over several million years, a beautiful symbiotic relationship, giving your immune system the right “tone” and indeed tolerance. Tolerance specifically against you. This week I want to show you a real life example of when…
This week I have recorded a video for you on recent research on the gut microbiome and the severity of COVID. I also give you a sneaky peak at a little section of the gut microbiome section of the CCCN course, enjoy.
