Dear Reader Last time I wrote I hinted at a huge new project that was coming soon. Today I’m allowed to reveal it to you. It’s a crucial cornerstone of health that you may not have heard of before. It’s so crucial that in its most extreme form the WHO has listed it as "probably carcinogenic"*. It’s directly causal or heavily implicated in: Obesity, Depression, Insomnia, Heart disease, Hypertension, Cancer, Immune deficiencies and dysfunctions, Progression and expression of certain mental...

Dear Reader, I hope you survived the last newsletter 😄 Subscriber David responded and I quote verbatim "It was fëçking long, but well worth the read". I really appreciate any and all feedback, so if you've got something to say, please do say it: click Reply, type and send! Sorry, not sorry for the length, though. Sometimes knowing better requires a few more characters than a Linkedin post allows. Which is, hopefully, why you're here. Today I'm sharing: 2 big pieces of news, Mind blowing...

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...
