Patient with IBS & eczema had tried elimination diets for years. We focused on microbiome diversity instead of restriction: fermented foods, prebiotics, soil exposure. 12 weeks later: calmer gut, clearer skin. Healing often means addition, not subtraction. #GutHealth #Microbiome

Headlines: “New pill to reduce stress hormones.” But stress resilience isn’t about blocking cortisol — it’s about training it. Breath, connection, sleep, sunlight: the original adaptogens. Your nervous system isn’t broken — it’s adaptive. #StressResilience #MindBodyMedicine 👉

In clinic, I often see perfectionism driving burnout. People doing “all the right things” but never resting. Health isn’t another checklist — it’s self-regulation. Sometimes the next step is less doing, more allowing. #FunctionalMedicine #SelfRegulation 👉 How do you remind

Every cell in your body replaces itself — some in days, others in years. Regeneration isn’t theory; it’s biology. Give your cells the conditions they need: nourishment, oxygen, rest, and purpose. #Regeneration #FunctionalMedicine 👉 What helps you feel most alive?

Dementia doesn’t begin the moment you forget a name. It often starts decades earlier → with insulin resistance, chronic sleep disruption and gut-microbiome shifts. UK research now shows gut bacterial patterns differ in people with Alzheimer’s disease. Hashtags: #BrainHealth

Tonight: finish your evening meal at least 3 hours before bed, skip screens for 30 minutes, and take 5 minutes to journal. This simple “wind-down buffer” supports sleep quality, metabolic regulation and brain clearance (a key pillar of the Bredesen-model). #Longevity

A patient in his mid-60s came for early memory lapses. We found: poor sleep, elevated fasting insulin, hidden reflux, erratic diet and low plant-diversity. We applied a personalised Bredesen plan: diet + sleep + gut support + hormone screening. Six months later: cognitive tests

The recent UK decision not to fund Lecanemab on the NHS because benefits were deemed “too small” signals a shift: we can’t rely on single-target drugs alone for neurodegeneration. It emphasises the value of root-cause work (gut, metabolism, lifestyle) in brain-health strategy.

Saturday morning in the clinic: reviewing a Bredesen map for a client with metabolic syndrome and memory issues. It reminds me how integrative medicine is less about treating “disease” and more about restoring systems. This work takes time—but the transformations are real.

Your brain is not fixed. Even in mid-life you can re-shape it through diet, movement, restful sleep, gut health and circuited hormone balance. Shift the fundamentals and the brain will follow. Here’s to a week of investing in you. Hashtags: #Longevity #BrainHealth

Low thyroid function is still missed far too often in people with “brain-fog”. Even mild hypothyroidism can influence mood, memory processing and metabolic rate. A comprehensive thyroid panel (TSH, FT4, FT3, TPO) gives the real picture. Hashtags: #BrainHealth #FunctionalMedicine

Try this one change tomorrow: move for 10 minutes after each meal. It improves glucose handling, reduces post-meal spikes and supports cognitive resilience. Three short walks beat one long one for metabolic stability. #Longevity #MetabolicHealth
