25.01.2022 I love UK Dr Aseem Malhotra's work, he talks about chronic disease and Carona, campaigns against junk food given to patients in hospital. He is a cardiologist who doesn't believe that high cholesterol and LDL is necessarily bad and statins are not the cure.

20.01.2022 Most days I try to fast 14 hours overnight.

A fast of 14 hours, starting at sunset and ending at sunrise, has been repeatedly demonstrated to reset the clocks, allowing them to operate off the dysregulated rhythm of the master clock.

15.01.2022 Low selenium is a risk factor for viral disease. Including 3-4 brazil nuts in your diet is a good idea.

10.01.2022 One of my daughters just sent this to me.... Have been told this before..... Should have listened years ago!!!

09.01.2022 I was just in the process of writing an article on how to support and strengthen our immune system for the looming virus season when I have discovered that the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Act) prohibits anyone from making claims for supplements, medicines or even disinfectants that may have an action against specific viruses. What I can say is all the general advice like eat a nutritious and well balanced diet, have good sleep hygiene, exercise and stress less. In light of this I ...am offering 15 minute short consultations during the month of March to discuss immune system support. Either face to face or by phone I can recommend what can support you and your loved ones, especially elderly parents or grandparents who are most at risk. The cost is $15 for the consult and you can book by phoning Lotus on 42264740 or booking online at http://lotuswellbeing.com.au/book/ Just book the 15minute Get to Know You Chat and comment "immune". Please also indicate if you would like a face to face or phone consultation.

09.01.2022 You may have heard me talking about "nutrient dense" foods and how our diet should be as such. Chris Kresser has written a very informative article on exactly what this means.

02.01.2022 BOOM! The european scientist article I wrote hits New Zealand mainstream news with a very strong supportive message from eminent dietitian Caryn Zinn. "What is... staggering is that looking at all the data, it is irrefutable that metabolic disease is the leading cause of mortality from COVID-19," said Dr Malhotra. "This covers much of what we are already being told, that outcomes for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure are far worse than in otherwise healthy adults. What is not being spelled out is that poor diet and obesity is behind this." AUT senior lecturer and dietician Caryn Zinn said Dr Malhotra is right. "The best we can do to prevent getting COVID-19 or to reduce its virulence if you do get it is to have a strong immune system and good metabolic health. To achieve both of these, its critical to eat whole unprocessed foods that promote a stable blood sugar - of course alongside other lifestyle behaviours such as getting enough sleep, sunshine (where possible), regular exercise, engaging with friends and family (easily done on-line) and managing stress. "As the Government is trying new things, some mere endorsement of eating healthy wholefood from our leaders should be mandatory. It always matters to look after your weight, and your metabolic health, but nows likely the most important time ever to do this."

01.01.2022 Another government adopting the properties of vitamin D as a preventative against acute respiratory infections including those caused by influenza and corona viruses by providing its health care workers with probably the most powerful molecular defence.
