By the time you read this, I will be basking in the sunshine of Valencia at the ECU’s 2024 conference. Whenever I lecture to new groups, I am always looking to take previous lectures and make them even more simple, more straight line to clinical actions and solutions. We are shortly going to have a vitamin B12 flow chart available to order as part of…

We have a set of 12 “Core Commandments” we use as a guide and hold in mind when we are in clinic as part of the Core Concepts in Chiropractic Nutrition. Number 9 is: Sometimes, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. We use a blood test called C reactive protein for measuring inflammation in…
Could part of the obesity epidemic be due to a lack of protein? That is one hypothesis that is gaining momentum and has some research to back it up, known as “protein leverage”. The basic premise is your body needs amino acids from protein to run your systems. If you do not get enough from the food you are eating, then you will remain hungry, as your…
You remember the story of Goldilocks and three bears? The porridge is too hot, then too cold, & she needed it just right. Same with protein, which gives us the amino acids that we need to build: Also used in the energy cycle, green boxes circled in red are amino acids. I could go on, but you get the idea, this is critical, hence some…
Snapping an achilles is something I would hate, the crack of the tendon, the total disability, the long recovery, no thank you. But imagine walking along and suddenly rupturing both achilles tendons. Now that would be truly awful. But that would not happen without massive trauma or a prescription for a fluoroquinolone antibiotic like ciprofloxacin. These are powerful antibiotics, used for UTI’s, prostatitis and hard…
Did you know the primary fuel for the gut cells lining your intestines is a short chain FATTY acid called Butyrate? Butyrate is also called Butyric acid and without it, your gut lining goes from a selective sieve to a leaky colander. It’s also a powerful anti-inflammatory both locally in the gut and systemically. I could go on but you get the idea. So where…

Once upon a time, ladies and gents of a nervous disposition could attend a GP and be ushered out the door with a bag full “anxiety pills” aka valium, one of the benzodiazepines. They certainly take the edge off, but they are a smidge habit-forming, and you can’t take them forever (ideally). So the NHS has a plan, and it is fool-proof. They have started giving out…
