Question: I also mentioned this paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3229745/pdf/586_2011_Article_1886.pdf Worth a read. What did happen to the Bio in Bio-psycho-social? It is almost like the medical profession (and some Chiropractors/Osteopaths) have no interest in functional derangements in the neuro-mechanical system as a source of pain………. There is a sub-group of patients with metabolic dysfunction driving pain, depression/anxiety and fatigue, of that, there is ample evidence. By understanding…

How is this for a quote to ponder for healthcare professionals of all disciplines: Not only is Huxley spot on with the quote, and those mutton chops are on point !! What a dude !! Last week we talked about how alpha-lipic acid (ALA) was an amazing free radical, recycling glutathione and mopping up free radicals to stop oxidative damage. But let’s get into the…

Charles finally got the crown and claimed the title of King. Not the King obviously….. In the world of anti-oxidants, many people use glutathione as the “master” or king of anti-oxidant. Made from glutamate, cysteine and my personal favourite amino acid, like ever, glycine. The issue with taking glutathione orally is it’s a tri-peptide that is broken down by digestion. You can take it liposomally,…

Back in the day, when I first started dabbling in nutrition more seriously, I gave out ALOT of fish oil. I heard about the omega 3:6 ratio (or EPA:AA ratio more correctly), and how it was the balance of inflammation. Cue me and many others, piling 2.5g – 10g of fish oil (EPA & DHA) daily into my patients (and me). The results? Did patients’…

Whether it is a newspaper, or a drug company or a supplement company, they all love a sensational headline. From the wonder drug to cure all, to the supplement that will change everything, deep down, we all want a silver bullet to sort everything out (with very little effort on our part). Thus, we are all prone to falling for clever marketing poking our vulnerable…

We had a lot of love for the bendy folk after last weeks newsletter, so let’s follow-up on that. This is a 23 year old semi-pro jump cyclist who came back in again recently after a fall from his bike and some nasty back pain. Remember he is a biological male, spends a lot of time bent over a bike with hands gripping very tightly…

Many of the greatest medical discoveries were found by clinicians recognising patterns of symptoms linked via a root cause. They had no RCT with a placebo control to go by and no “published peer-reviewed evidence,” but they saw reality. That then may trigger a case study or case series and then onto a full research study it to “prove” it, but the results are there…

As we enter a lovely long family weekend, parents remember when your children as having a massive meltdown over nothing, it is a hypo-glycemic crash from all the chocolate their grandparents gave them and then went home. The grandparents are secretly paying you back for the meltdowns you had, you’re welcome. On the plus side cacao is a rich source of magnesium which it turns…

Folate, folic acid, pretty much the same thing right?  Wrong, oh so wrong. Luckily for you, we have a video lasting all of 2 minutes and 40 seconds, to explain it all. This is also on the IN Health supplements educational page. And if you want to know how to use the METHYL B HERO product which is based around METHYLATION which needs active folate,…

If there is one thing in clinic with babies and kids that makes me nervous, it is when they are floppy with low tone. The implications are not good, but one thing that is more common now than before as a cause, is our old friend vitamin B12 deficiency. The reality is people’s diets are awful, loaded up on highly processed junk food. Plus, we…
