We tend to think of collagen as connected only with skin, hair and nails. However, collagen is the glue that holds everything together throughout the body. It’s probably the most important component of our biology. The surprising fact is that our collagen starts to diminish in our twenties By the time we reach our forties, this diminishing really starts to …
I sit down and have another chat with physiotherapist, Leslie Abrahams, about bad backs. This time we discuss how to most effectively use over the counter medications. He explains how the body creates inflammation in order to heal injuries and that medications like anti-inflammatories can be counter productive if used incorrectly. The science and thinking on these have dramatically changed …

Anyone who has suffered with a bad back knows how debilitating it can be. This is what happened to me recently and I ended up having to take a week off work, which is a first for me.

I’ve had the great privilege to …
Melatonin, the sun and sleep are all intrinsically linked. In today’s video I talk about how the sun has been demonised in recent years but is, in fact, vital to life and optimal health. I’ll post the video at the end of this article. So what is melatonin and why is it so important? Melatonin is a hormone that controls …
Today I sit down with hypnotherapist Zoë Clews for a powerful discussion. There are very few people (if any) who have not had trauma, pain and challenges in their lives. We tend to hold on to the emotions that arise from this, which means we are doomed to feel the pain or grief over and over again. Zoë talks about …
Most of the time, breathing is an unconscious act. Some will breathe through their nose and some through their mouth. You may think it doesn’t matter which you do but it does. It’s estimated that 30-50% of people breathe through their mouth which means it’s not uncommon at all, but it’s nasal breathing we should be aiming for. Nasal breathing …
In today’s video I sit down with cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra to talk about the thing we all love but that is also probably the very worst thing for us…….sugar! It’s a demon because it’s incredibly addictive and pleasurable to eat but over-consumption can lead to diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure (the single biggest factor in mortality). Dr Malhotra …
