COVID and the link with Obesity: Why?

white and gold love print ceramic plate

I note the news items today linking obesity rates with COVID deaths. These were sparked by research released today by the World Obesity Study. Countries with high levels of overweight people, such as the UK and the US, have the highest death rates from Covid-19, a landmark report reveals, prompting calls for governments to urgently …

#Gluten Free Diet Aids #Weight Loss According To New Study

I have said it before - and experienced it personally and professionally - giving up gluten leads to a more balanced weight. It may take some time (took me 8 months off all grains) but then the water retention etc suddenly left me; it was not a gradual weight loss at all. I have always …

Bear in mind, I am now retired from clinic work after 38 years in natural medicine. I no longer offer the test service (but you can still access some here) and I have removed the books as they need updating etc, sorry. I only ever give you top-notch stuff, as you know! BUT, there is still a ton of help here for you, I promise. Hope you find what you need and will forgive me for broken links as I am no longer updating the site as frequently. Bless your cotton socks, Micki x
