One thing that makes us clinicians rather than therapists is a wider knowledge base and ability to diagnose. You may have magic in your hands, the power to unlock the stiffest and twistiest of spines, but if the patient has something so serious it could kill or disable them, that power is going to be wasted. One such example is patients turning up with bilateral…
We are only 2 weeks into Evolved collagen being on sale and we are already putting in another order with the manufacturer. It is going out faster than the sweets on Halloween, but without giving you advanced glycation end-products (AGE’s). The skin, bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons of the UK are feeling more youthful already. To celebrate this, below is a link to the patient…
This week we have been enjoying some relaxed time off with the kids and on Tuesday we headed to Marwell zoo. We had a right old time, and finally got to see the snow leopard, who is normally nowhere to be seen, aka hiding in their cave thingy wishing for actual snow. This time he/she (couldn’t tell, let’s say it’s a her), was in fine…
If there is one thing me and our cat, Caesar, have in common, it is we are both huge fans of offal. Here he is post raw liver. If I am cutting up some liver or kidney, he will know about it and will be all over me, pawing up the cupboards, meowing. Here he is not wanting to be left out by jumping into…

At long last it is here !! From Monday you can order your Evolved Collagen. A few weeks back, we took a look at glycine and its effects on the immune system. https://lessons.academyofchiropracticnutrition.com/glycine-the-missing-link/ And before that talked about HOW collagen works. https://lessons.academyofchiropracticnutrition.com/collagen-two-routes-to-better-joints-and-skin/ Two ways: Giving the body aminos to build and stimulating the cells to produce. And we are using glycine to maximise the production…
“What harms insects also harms people” are wise words spoken by the German Environment Minister Svenja Schulze. She was speaking about the banning of the weed killer glyphosate (branded as Roundup by Monsanto) in Germany from 2023. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/sep/04/germany-ban-glyphosate-weedkiller-by-2023 And she has a good point. For many, many years now, the world of functional medicine/nutrition has been concerned that the weed killer might be exceptionally bad…
O-Mg we are about to get a double helping of magnesium as we seamlessly transition our Magnesium Plus product into Magnesium DUO plus. What is the difference? Previously we had 150 mg of pure Magnesium Citrate, now we have 75 mg magnesium citrate and 75 mg of magneisum glycinate (150 mg total obvs). Now, why would we do this? Well, remember the citrate or glycinate…
