- Clinic Notes DigestA quick digest for you this week as I’m moving to a new rental tomorrow… We are battery-powered! Fascinating study where researchers can now observe the battery-like activity of our mitochondria. I do like Holford’s health reports. Good one on arthritis being a metabolic disorder, not necessarily a localised joint problem, this week. Some excellent …
- Great Podcasts: The Rest is PoliticsI swear I’ve become more interested in politics as I get older. I suppose we all do, something about caring for the wider community, society and the world at large rather than for ourselves as we forge families, careers and relationships – which takes up ALL our headspace when we’re young whippersnappers, maybe?

- Clinic Notes DigestLowering lipids causing more dementia? WDDTY did a recent piece about the importance of high-enough lipids to protect the brain – are statins behind the increase in dementia? I wouldn’t be at all surprised. A reader recently sent me this fascinating case study/article about using B1 and B2 for mitochondrial CFS. A good reminder (thank …
- Which Air Fryer?Air fryers are all the rage, aren’t they, not least because they save us the cost of putting the big oven on for smaller meals? They can also cook much faster (partly because they are smaller and take less time to warm up) and we tend to use less fat to cook with. Some of …
