As I do more and more 1:1 nutritional consulting, one thing I consistently find astonishing and upsetting is the number of patients who have suffered what we could classify as adverse childhood events or ACE’s. The reality is these are common and can significantly affect people’s physiology and mental health. Note that stress per se is not an issue. We do not want to raise…
I had a wonderful time last weekend in Edinburgh lecturing for the SOTO-Europe seminar of excellence. It was just so nice to be with like-minded clinicians all there ready to learn!

They love to increase the risk of an issue/disease or increase the benefits of a drug/intervention by taking an absolute risk reduction and turning it into a relative risk reduction. For example, how can they make a 1% increase in risk (absolute…
