The end of Summer already means statistically, around 65% of UK general population are likely clinically deficient. This is due to little sunlight exposure, or overuse of high factor sunscreen. By February next year, this will rise to 87%. If non-Caucasian or obese, the chances of being deficient are much greater.

Kombucha is a tasty, healthy, non-alcoholic and very Summery probiotic drink I'm excited to tell you that I've introduced this incredible drink into the clinic. But what is it?

Milk protein is the second most common intolerant when we test it in the clinic. The following excerpt from Dr Pizzorno's 'The Toxin Solution' may explain why we become intolerant to the sugar component (lactose).

A new study, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, and using data from 6,438 women collected over the course of 12 years has found that an anti-inflammatory diet may actually lower the risk of depression. Compared to women consuming a pro-inflammatory diet, the researchers found that an anti-inflammatory diet reduced the likelihood of depression by a very significant 26%.
