Pregnancy really is quite the journey, full of surprises, and let’s be frank, not all of them pleasant ones. There is a whole lot of physical stuff that can go wrong, but there also a few things that your patients have suffered with for some time, that disappear or improve radically, especially from the 2nd trimester onwards. Maybe their skin rashes/eczema suddenly calm down, those migraines…
In recent years, there has been a surge of public interest in blood glucose monitoring, thanks in part to high-profile health influencers such as Jessie Inchauspé—widely known as the “Glucose Goddess”— and the growing accessibility of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Once a tool reserved almost exclusively for people with diabetes, CGMs are now worn by health-conscious individuals looking to optimise energy levels, mood, weight, and long-term…
As we move further into 2025, we have so much more here at ACN we will bring to the clinical table to get our mutual patients better results. One of them is functional blood testing, and the website is being built now, sadly these things always take longer than expected and, frankly, I am colossally impatient. It is optimal ranges versus the black and white…
First up, quick shout out to all the DC’s in Ireland that joined me for a full day of integrative nutrition in Naas, Ireland. Lovely group, fabulous venue and amazing weather. This was partly to promote the new EUROPEAN supplement hub, so if you are in Ireland or anywhere in the EU you can now order from: ???? Quick delivery, and no extra taxes to…
Quick shout out to everyone that attended the evolution of Chiropractic seminar in Dennington near Sheffield last weekend. We had an incredible group of chiropractors ready to learn in small group setting with three different speakers but all talking from the same hymn sheet. It was a truly excellent weekend and we’re looking forward to doing it again and again. Last week we talked about…
Back in 2019, I wrote an article called The Power of Butter. It focused on a short-chain fatty acid found in butter: butyrate. Fast forward to March 2024, we revisited the topic and discussed the amazing benefits butyrate can offer your body. Little did I know that six years after first writing about it, we’d sign an exclusive deal with a company producing pure liquid butyrate—and launch…
The sunshine is here and don’t we just love it !! You should know by now that vitamin D is essential for strong bones and immune function—but its influence reaches far beyond that. Emerging research shows that vitamin D plays a key role in regulating serotonin, the “feel-good” or “happy” neurotransmitter responsible for mood, social behavior, and emotional well-being. If you’ve ever felt more down during the…
In 2001, Apple and Steve Jobs launched the ipod and forever changed the way we listen (and buy) to music. In the revolution that happened afterwards, he said: This, in my opinion, is a bit like giving good care to your patients and adding in nutrition alongside it. Sure, they probably didn’t ask for vitamin D, or creatine, or carntine or ALA, or Collagen/Glycine or…
In an ideal world, you and your patient would address and resolve every single issue in their health – Physical, metabolic & emotional. They get up early and do an hour’s meditation, then an ice bath, followed by infrared sauna, a piece of liver for breakfast with glass of kefir on the side. They do regular exercise, a combo of strength, flexibility and cardio. They…
In a world of dietary extremes, from fashionable (and virtue signalling) veganism to the carnivore diet (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, frankly relatively sensible way to eat and live in the long term. Sure you need to…
