In yet another timely reminder that information alone does not produce behaviour change - Exhibit A - myself. The unspoken beauty of living in the Byron shire is that when any festivals come to town so too does the flu & to the entire community, whether you...
While it seems like every second patient is on statins in Australia, NZ, America and most developed countries, over the age of 70, they actually are! But can you name a patient who has had their Lipoprotein (a) measured and is being managed for this by their GP?...
Ok everyone, we need to stay calm, which I know is the biggest challenge with something this serious, but let's focus on the steps we all need to take: Step 1: identify the products affected Step 2: Inform all your patients - not just the ones you have prescribed...
If you listened to our latest Update in Under 30 episode on Postpartum Thyroiditis and how to implement an optimal risk assessment (before, during & after pregnancy), you'll have been expecting this new arrival with much anticipation 🐣🤓 because the...
Wanna see behind the curtain here? Sometimes in my pursuit of perfect clarity I go totally OTT. <GASP👀> But when you know that for women diagnosed with Postpartum thyroiditis it was likely to have been missed or misattributed for months to, 'You've had...
If you've been following the story of 'my little white spot' you'll know that it's part of me keeping myself (& my whole new framework for nutrition prescribing as per the Nutrient Prescriber's Program) extremely accountable! Based on all the very latest research...
I have a lot of random interactions with health professionals when we happen to find ourselves on the same patch of real world out there. Two weeks ago someone served me in a local health food store and at the end of the transaction said, "I went to that Australian...
Wouldn't life be a breeze if there was a calculation telling us how much to prescribe of a given nutrient for every different patient to take them out of deficiency, into repletion or even optimal? Well there is. Kinda If the nutrient in question is Vitamin D...
How has your start to 2025 been? Mine has been humbling thanks to the grumbling of my appendix over 2 days, so much so that on the 3rd day it was forcibly 'removed from its place of residence'! Being unwell brings up all sorts of stuff for me. Many questions (Why do...
'Good v Better v Best', is often the value statement attached to each new nutritional product innovation as it enters the market...making the existing and older forms, according to the pattern, 'Bad'...or 'Inactive', certainly 'Superseded' etc. But changing the form...
It's important for all of us, as people who spend our working life caring for others, to routinely take time out to really care for ourselves. Across my 3 decade long career there have been many occasions when I ended the year in the red, my 'personal account'...
By virtue of our profession we all have an ongoing relationship with science but the nature of that may differ. Slave? Submissive? Subscriber? Sceptic? Or of course it could be all of these on different occasions depending on the science in question! But as...
In January, after 30 years I finally got off the gear. That's how long I'd been taking good quality, high dose (minimum 20mg elemental) zinc daily for. Originally the rationale was I was a vegetarian. Then the 20 years that followed my reintroduction of meat saw me...
We're weirdos in the nutrition world, right? Tell you something you don't know?!😅 Ok, how about this, with respect to sodium, our positions, perspective and for some of us, prescriptions set us completely apart. Say the word, 'sodium' to a room filled by any...
Some days I feel as old as the hills & others like a new sprout just making its way up out of the earth, especially in relation to my professional knowledge. It's absolutely true I've been around the block a few (zillion) times, building up substantial...
Ever feel like you're trying to improve people's mineral levels but you're not getting the results you should? Does it seem that despite making good product choices and doses, there's something that keeps derailing or rerouting where these minerals end up? It could...
Isn't it always the case that when something takes on personal significance - 'we' give it more attention? Whether that 'we' is a country, a group of researchers, a practitioner or a patient. Let me explain... 🌍Denmark, among many other European countries,...
Back when I used to go to parties, I remember the kind of things that got passed around 🤐 but these days the nature of the shared-substance has changed... Activated charcoal, anyone?!😶 Sure this says a lot about me and even more about the kind of...
These days it's all about who you know right? So if we applied that same mindset to rating and ranking our organs then the kidneys would've amassed the largest number of followers, 'top fan badges', likes, watches, you name it. The kidneys are nothing if not...
I know you haven't heard a lot from me of late. 📢 I repeat I been BUSY📢 . Anyone currently undertaking our Nutrient Prescriber's Program this year or Cracking the Case Series will vouch for that and fill you in on the insanely dynamic details!! But...
It's so wonderful to know kidney health is moving address. From the darkest bits at the back, now to the front of our clever clinical minds. We're easy to impress when it comes to any 'axis' - gut-brain, brain-immune etc. so we all need to take a moment and take note...
