There is a quote from Carl Jung that I absolutely love: This is brilliant, particularly for chiropractors, because we can become incredibly good at theory. We can debate biomechanics, neurology, subluxations, pain science, rehabilitation, inflammation and nutrition. We can attend seminars, read papers and construct increasingly sophisticated explanations for what is happening to our patients. But ultimately there is a patient standing in front of…

Quick shout out to those lovely people at the CAI, here I am keeping it casual chatting about how iron deficiency can affect production of dopamine (and thus noradrenaline, adrenaline) and serotonin. Thus, leading to chronic pain/fibromyalgia, ADHD, brain fog, depression/anxiety, restless leg syndrome, fatigue and more.  Now all of this is usually occurring in the absence of anemia.  We use FERRITIN as our (reliable)…

First up, happy birthday to me, I turned forty-nine on Monday, but for the last 16 years, I have not been able to milk it as Iris selfishly claimed the spotlight by being born four days after me.  Hard not to be outshone by your fabulous children, isn’t it? Happy 16th birthday to someone far smarter, better looking and more mature than me.  As your…

Whilst I love getting deep into research (this is what’s at my side as I write this article), there is nothing quite like a challenging case to get the dopamine flowing. That is, of course, if you are taking the time to reassess your patient objectively and subjectively on a regular basis.  Don’t be afraid to ask your patient how they’re feeling, it’s just feedback,…

You know how it is when you return from holiday and as soon as they the open the cabin door, the cold air rushes in, and you are back to UK reality……well, not this time! Turns out is has been hotter here than in Maderia, where we have been relaxing and eating for the last 7 days.  Good Steak Cones of sushi Walks And boat…

As the long, gorgeous summer continues, and the POTENTIAL for vitamin D production is maintained, you might be wondering just how much vitamin D might I have at the end of the summer? Well, according to some new research, not as much as you might think.  Here is the issue:  In the UK, the sun is only strong enough to make vitamin D from around…
