The omega 3 fugazi
In a world of dietary extremes, from fashionable (and virtue signalling) veganism to the carnivore meat only fad (it’s an extreme elimination diet FYI), there is one tried and tested diet that is always worth using as a template for your nutrient intake: The Mediterranean diet. It is a nutrient dense, whole food, sustainable and […]
Read moreThe diagnosis that is bananas
When I was a new and shiny graduate from the AECC maybe less than five years old, if patients told me the GP had diagnosed them with gout, I would have accepted it, no questions asked. But I learned that it’s always a good idea to actually check the symptoms fit the diagnosis and to […]
Read moreAre you the best theoretical Chiropractor ever?
Are you a sage and wise parent? Kind and caring, but strong when needed. Do you always have time to explains everything to your kids in a way that leaves them empowered?

Read moreDeath by tuna
Ten years ago when my wife was pregnant with our first child, she received a pack from the GP surgery which included advice on diet. I was intrigued to see what a standard GP’s diet advice would be. Low fat? Use sweeteners? Eat lots of wholegrains and baked potato (it’s a vegetable isn’t it?). I […]
