 THE CURIOUS MINDS CLUB 
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...
Quite the month for it, I hear. My inbox has run hot with practitioners deeply concerned about some serious finger pointing that's been going on. The fingers in these instances have belonged to medical practitioners and the direction they're all pointing, is seemingly...
Good morning San Fran!!! 🙂 You know me...I'm notorious for challenging outdated ideas in our fabulous integrative health landscape and along the way, trying to introduce new ones that are backed by better scientific evidence. I regularly get asked to speak in...
Ever feel like you're chasing your own tail trying to treat & find the source of GIT parasites in some patients?! Well guess what, you just might be! We're seeing more & more patients test positive for Dientamoeba fragilis and increasingly patients...
How many times have you heard me suggest a vegan diet as the most effective and sensible dietary intervention for a condition....yup...not often but here I am saying it now.   I had a great one-on-one session with a long-term mentee yesterday to discuss a case of...
You know I'm not one to raise my voice and make scene. Ok, I always raise my voice and make a scene, but only when I think something really warrants our attention and the issue of under-recognised, under-estimated and mismanaged chronic worms, demands our attention. ...
Goodness Friends Really (GFR) - where do we start talking about the GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate)! This is the standard way to estimate the competency of your kidneys, in particular their ability to filter waste from the blood. There is SO much to say and not quite...
I need to clear the air, to clarify. If you've listened to my So you think you know how to treat Iron deficiency podcast and implemented a less frequent dosing regime and it's worked like a treat for your patients, like Tina....HOORAY! And if you tried out this...
Got fair skin and white spots on your nails and go a bit off-grid in stressful situations? Thinking it's pyrroles? Well, you're probably wrong! Man. I've been waiting a long time, since being introduced to the pyrroluria biochemistry and diagnosis over a decade ago...
Luckily I still had the file. After seeing patients for a couple of decades, I have to get periodically ruthless with the shredder for those I haven't seen in a long time and 7 years qualifies as a long gap between appointments but when I saw her name in my calendar,...
Sometimes we wonder who put the invisible sign up out the front of our practice, right? The one that says...absolutely everyone with Condition 'Z' come and see me, now! I'm sure you know what I'm describing. Well this week I have hit the trifecta, performed a neat...
When Dr. Christabelle Yeoh says, 'Hey, we all need to up-skill in Mitochondrial & Metabolic Medicine, Gut and Immunity & Healthy Ageing,' and then invites a dozen or so absolute experts in each of these fields to speak at the 8th Science in Nutritional...
I have a good friend...who happens to be a naturopath...who happens to also be a patient of mine. Have you got a few of these as well? A month ago, looking over her recent bloods which included fasting lipids that had been steadily climbing for the last couple of...
I'm packing the bag and getting my 'roadies' ready......well, not really but it would be great to have one or three! I’m super excited to be going on tour in May with Nutrition Care and introducing new clinical tools I've been developing to help you master the maze...
The words together with the horror on her face made me feel instantly nauseous. I'd been internally debating for months now if I was simply imagining things and intellectualising about how this just might be the case... observing myself looking in the mirror more...
Upgrade's always give you so much more and here at RAN, we wanted to give our UU30 subscribers more....more...
I was just reading the results of a spot Facebook poll of GPs asking what the most wonderful medications ever invented are. Once everyone got the customary "caffeine" gag out of the way, the rest of the nominations and auspicious award winners unfolded like a who's...
This is.  I think we're all going to scream when the next patient says, 'I've got an MTHFR', right?! Congratulations, I want to say, because you would be in much more serious trouble if you didn't have a copy... 'Oh, sorry, you mean you have a mutation on at least...
"I always give some Glutamine to heal their leaky gut" Cue pained expression on my face. No, I'm not a fan. I take that back, I have no problem with the amino acid itself and I'm still in awe of its incredible multifaceted role in the gut. What I do have a giant...
They've just come from the immunologist, having presented with extensive vitiligo in dad and early stage vitiligo now in their primary school aged son.  The immunologist, without running a single blood test, told them, 'Bad news, you both have autoimmune issues and...
Just finished talking with the fearless fertility naturopathic specialist, Rhiannon Hardingham, who wanted to let me know that after listening to my Update in Under 30:Â Silent Reflux she's had a lot of success treating both GORD and insomnia in her pregnant patients....
That's me...always questioning the 'status quo' and Iodine is the perfect example!  The interview I did on this important subject with Andrew Whitfield-Cook from FxMedicine, covers a lot of key areas of confusion & underscores why it's so critical all health...
