24.01.2022 Lactose intolerance - what is it? Few issues with terminology. We are talking about Lactose intolerance, not Cows Milk Protein Allergy. Both are reactions to the same substance, milk, but are caused by different systems in the body reacting to different components of the milk and then presenting a broadly similar way. Lactose intolerance is a problem with the digestive system, while a milk allergy is a problem with the immune system. Taking a good history of the symptoms can...Continue reading

22.01.2022 Migraine. From Fungus to Food. Migraines is a highly complex complex condition that brings distress to many. The below is really only looking at a very specific part of the body of knowledge around migraines. As always - I hope it is of interest. The term migraine is derived from the Greek word hemikrania - literally half skull. This term was corrupted into low Latin as hemigranea, the French translation of which was migraine. Whilst not completely understood, we have a few...Continue reading

21.01.2022 Antidepressants - Towards an Understanding Most of our current understanding regarding depression and its pathophysiology (the physiological mechanisms that underpin a disease process), like all good scientific discoveries has come via . Accident. It’s the 1950’s, Tuberculosis is killing millions and the hunt is on to find agents that could halt this airborne killer.

18.01.2022 The Lyon Diet - the most important diet you’ve never heard of. No calorie counting, you can eat carbs, you’ll lose weight (slowly) and it could help you live longer.... Too good to be true? The Lyon Diet heart study took place in 1997. It remains one of the very few randomised controlled dietary interventions trials. Why is this important, most diets out there really don’t have much solid evidence. By that I mean, most diet books/trends arnt based on long term, well organis...Continue reading

12.01.2022 Cholesterol - Friend or Foe? First up, what is it? Etymologically it translates to ‘stiff bile’. Stiff it is, bile it is not. Technically it is is lipid, an organic molecule that does not breakdown in water (wax, fats etc). We have about 35g of this stuff in our bodies and without it, we’d be dead. Literally every cell in our body needs it, as does the cells of other bacterial organisms - well come back to that. Cholesterol is integral to the integrity of the cell wall, lett...Continue reading

12.01.2022 Anxiety - a brief history The day starts at around 3-4am. Sleep interrupted by unwanted intrusive thoughts, the rest of the sleep fretful and unrestful. Then the chest tightness starts, it sits there with an on edge feeling that doesn’t leave. Distraction helps but in the quiet moments it comes back. It’s daily, it’s constant, it’s exhausting. It’s anxiety. Given it’s prevalence today I think that many would see anxiety as a modern condition, however Greek philosophers and L...Continue reading

09.01.2022 Are Suncreams Safe? Questions often come up regarding the safety of suncreams. This is an evaluation of the current evidence on suncreams. MooGoo often comes up a decent choice to address some of the below issues. In the end, using suncreams is a choice and there are strong feelings on both sides. This is information may be of use in making that choice. The substances in question are nanoparticles of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Nanoparticles are really small. They work...Continue reading

07.01.2022 The Obesogenic Age - Old Habits Die Hard Simply put - our bodies are out of date. We live in an ‘Obseogenic age. Calories used to be very hard to come by, our genetic forebears had to walk, hunt, forage, scavenge. Now it’s the perverse opposite, now it’s very hard not to come across calories and we have to spend energy actively avoiding them. Having an efficient metabolism - that is a slow metabolism - means you are able to extract the necessary energy from food to meet you...Continue reading
