Pregnant women, babies & vampires
I had soooo many great responses to last weeks growing pains video I decided to do another video, this time on pregnancy and vitamin D. One of the amazing things about treating pregnant women and children is the results you give can be profound and longlasting. Removing the dysfunction from a baby’s cervical spine and skull can […]
Read moreWhy “growing pains” are bull***t
This week I have prepared a special video for you on growing pains. It’s a 16 minute watch packed with immediately usable content, actionable clinical sights and low level sarcasm. I cover Vitamin D in kids and then we use to expand it out to adults with generalised joint and muscle pain. We go also […]
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 […]

When it comes to diet and health, diversity is king. But we are creatures of habit and tend to eat the same things again and again and again.

So today’s newsletter is about the little-known, skin manifestations of a growing problem in the UK – diabetes. Did you know that since 2008 the cost of type […]

Before we get into it this week, thank you to the lovely people at the McTimoney Chiropractic Association for inviting me to speak at the weekend on vitamin B12. I had a great time, answered a ton of questions & met up once again with the excellent Dr Chris Collaca DC PhD. Hopefully the MCA […]
Read moreBack to the future (of healthcare)
Imagine if you could read a book now that would give you an accurate picture of the healthcare world in 50 years time. Well, I was reorganising my book shelving in my study last week and I came across a book I forgot I owned. Back in the Nutri-West UK days, we had an old […]
Read moreThe power of butter
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.

Read moreThe end of average care
I pretty much loathe facebook. I used it quite a bit for a few years, then found my self pretty much addicted to checking it. Still, that’s dopamine for you. Then I got into an argument with another Chiropractor over something we disagreed on. I know of him through a Chiropractic organisation and have talked […]
