... to its target tissue, wherever possible. Yes I've been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding what happens when we 'deliver medicines differently', as part of my Supplement Boom Series. Medicines being: nutrients, herbs, pharmaceuticals. 'Delivered...
I've been talking about the DMT1 transporters importing iron & other divalent metals - including their presence in our nose <GASP> - since the turn of the century <GASP GASP>. This helps to explain, of course, the profound neurotoxicity, for example, of...
I've just finished laughing along to yet another comedy routine making fun of the current gen's 'obsession with water'. This comedian was nostalgic for the old days when, every week or so, we'd just 'wet our tongue on a water fountain' and that was our dehydration...
I know you know I've had a very public falling out with iodine. First up, I was its biggest fan then over about a decade I became its very vocal detractor. So what happened to create such a change of heart? It's undeniable that our dietary intake increased and...
Last week I had the pleasure & privilege of spending time with REAL practitioners discussing a REAL case & being part of a REAL discussion and a REAL exchange of all our ideas & experiences. I know, how quaint! Because unlike the AI apps we're all...
Orodispersible nutritional medicines are a colourful crew (buccal sprays, 'melts', lozenges, gummies galore) with mixed agendas: tasty (patient preferences & increased access); topical (therapeutic agents for the oral cavity itself) and transmucosal (a shortcut...
I keep rescue chooks from battery farms & recently two have been quite sick - so I sought the advice of the all-knowing & all-round extraordinary Mother Clucker who heads up this organisation. Up and down the highway I went, to their chook HQ &...
I should have known. Right after I wrote my most recent blog on two essential updates in adolescent health - HealthEd released a podcast on Spotting Eating Disorder Red Flags in Children that lit my brain up like a pinball machine! Because I know for many it's hard to...
I have a voracious and varied appetite for medical research but two things came up recently that I thought I just had to share: Energy Drinks Increase Suicide Risk Under the heading of, 'New Red Flag for Mental Health' Medscape reported on a meta-analysis involving...
"Cosmeceutical” sits between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals and probably makes you think of serums and skincare, and of course many of these products' 'active agents' are in our lane: Retinol, Biotin, Collagen, Liposomal C and herbs. However, the new kids on the...
Have you been tempted to prescribe nutrients in a cream in patients who aren't responding to oral treatments? Or perhaps you've had patients come in all 'patched' already! Either way it seems like now is a great time for us to revisit the topics of skin anatomy,...
Did you know that any supplement that 'identifies as a food' is subject to the same regulations as a sugary breakfast cereal? Yep. So in spite of 30% sugar content - the packaging and all advertising around said cereal, claims it's a great source of... PROTEIN...
To the people who make up our profession... I'm just back from attending the opening of the Melbourne Apothecary/ Mecca collaboration in Melbourne CBD as one of Charmaine & Carly's VIPPPs... Very Impressed Proud Privileged People Everyone who knew I was attending...
What a delightful high to finish our group mentoring programs on 🤓🤸 We know the calibre of practitioners that commit strongly to their ongoing education and upskilling. We see this in action via myriad reflections - check out just some...
I can guess when you graduated from your training to be a nat/nut/IM GP just by how you complete this sentence, 'In student clinic my supplementing style would've been best described as...' a) Lots of lecithin, Brewer's yeast, some rosehip based Vit C with...
Most of you reading this are either currently trying to run a business or have given that a red hot crack in the past- it's full of challenges isn't it? In most cases, the bulk of the hard work that has to happen to keep the doors open, is the stuff 'unseen' by...
It was only a matter of time, right? A 30-something patient presents with new pathology results saying she'd already asked AI to interpret them 🤖🤯 "Had a little chat with Chatty," she tells me, "and already it's flagging things my GP didn't'!"...
Are you ready for your bedtime story? Ok well snuggle in close and let’s get comfy because it’s a goodun! It’s 'The Story of Supplements' and how the contemporary practice of nutritional medicine in most countries became supplement-centric. I’ve been thinking about...
They said it couldn't be done. They said your Lipoprotein (a) level was purely the result of a genetic lottery and if you lose, you lose and there's nothing you nor your doctor can do to change that. Lp(a) doesn't play by the rules that apply to anyone else, including...
Well this topic has certainly got us all talking. My inbox overfloweth! Good. Because in the current online climate of 'Sacred Super Foods' for kids, this conversation has to happen. I'm not batting for 'beige baby foods', however, with trends like this, my concern...
