In 1997, on a dark winter night back home for a week from the AECC, I met a former girlfriend who also had recently gone off to university. During our chat it became obvious she was lip reading and she had not been deaf before. Not only had she lost a lot of her hearing, she was also having balance issues and had been falling…
By now you will have had your inbox, filled with incredible offers of discounts on products and courses from people you have had very little contact with for months or possibly since the last black Friday. They are trying to make you buy something, by making it cheap. They have to try to tempt you because the rest of the year they give you NO…
Tonight I will be heading up to Birmingham to talk at the BCA Chiro Live 2023 conference. I will be talking about the idea of Integrative Chiropractic, the art of integrating the very best new science and practical insights into our existing clinical model. And that is a very important point, integrating into our existing model, not instead of. I see a very worrying trend…
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…
Well, last weekend we had our first ever ACN live event, Core Concepts in Chiropractic Nutrition Live on the beautiful Tuckon river, at the Captain club in Christchurch. Yes we did lots of learning. And we enjoyed the river side location And we enjoyed some gluten and diary-free cake with kombucha on the side. Next year we will head to Birmingham and are planning some…
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…
