Dear Reader, If you were confused about nutrition, then I'm absolutely not surprised. Read on to find out why these types of headlines are not only simple clickbait, but actually nefarious lies. Health journalists are lazy, uneducated or have an agenda. And the most rubbish science seems to get the most media space. I'm not surprised either that an organisation purportedly helping raise awareness and raising funds for research into Alzheimer's (Alzheimer's Association) - often these...

Hi Reader, Welcome to another dose of weight loss and health information for Midlifers. Imagine this: Not so long ago we lived pretty close to nature. Just the natural electromagnetic spectrum of the Earth, sounds of wildlife, materials sourced from our natural surroundings, in small communities. Today we live on top of each other, in houses laden with man-made inventions, from furniture materials, light sources, construction materials, personal hygiene products, wifi, mobile networks,...

Dear Reader, Information is the 21st century currency of power. And we rely on algorithms created by God-knows-who to shape what information we get. No surprise, then, that you're less likely to see some types of information than others. LIke my recent post on Linkedin about how LED lights make our skin age. Linkedin showed the post to 69 people in 2 hours. Makes sense: if you knew this, you wouldn't spend hours on social media. Here it is so you don't have to look for it: And a screenshot of...

Dear Reader, The summer solstice is almost here, but this email won’t be about “half-time” of annual light exposure (if you're above 30º N like in the U.K or most of Europe). But it might be getting hotter where you live and that’s why I’m sending you this comprehensive guide to hydration. If you’re already subscribed to my 12 Golden Rules you’ll already have a good foundation (if you’re not, you can do that here). Today I'm going to build on that foundation. You’ve been told to drink 8 cups...

Hi Reader, Welcome back to another large portion of Midlife Metabolic Health. Today I’m going to share some research I’ve been digging into, as well as some really great news! Why I’ve been exposing myself to the sun so much since March. This Linkedin post was popular, for good reason. It rolls back the nonsense we've been told about the dangers of UV light from the sun Take a look (and repost, comment and like) because I’ve included in it - and in a comment below the line - a whole range of...

Happy Saturday Reader, Thought this device hack might come in handy. If you've been reading my stuff then you'll know all about the danger of a "junk" light environment and how it impacts our health and wellbeing at neurological, chemical, hormonal and sub-cellular level. Or maybe you're just instinctively aware that staring at mobile devices isn't good for you. We all do it: my day is spent in front of a computer, iPhone or iPad! Can't live with them, can't live without them. There is,...

Happy Saturday Reader , Could you survive without food & water for 2 days? 10 days? What about 𝟳𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀? Inedia, also know as “Breatharianism”. Not consuming any liquid or food, getting nutrients from the air. Like Indian Prahlad Jani who claimed to have lived like that for 70 years.Nonsense? Not so fast! Could it be possible to live without food and water for longer periods? Theoretically yes! Let's take a look at how humans gain and use energy. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗿-𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗱...

Happy Saturday Reader. If you're anything like me, you take a guilty pleasure in seeing how others live, get on with their lives, simply put: how other humans are doing. It's the basic concept behind Reality and lifestyle TV. Britain's got Talent, The Biggest Loser, home renovation programmes, etc. Curiosity, an element of comparing our lives to others, perhaps some glee when others fail. So, I'm going to let you take a peak behind the curtain of 2 clients. Mr. GW was both a special case and...

Struggling to get your "5 a day" Reader ? Let me liberate you from that myth! The truth about fibre: Do we need it? Let’s look at the science. Fibre has been a “thing” for decades. We’re encouraged to eat more and more of it, convinced that it will protect us from colorectal cancer, constipation, diabetes, heart disease, all sorts of gastro-intestinal ailments, and more. Problem is, when you look at the decades of research, all you can come up with is……nothing! Nothing that meets rigorous...
