Deep insights. Simply put
Carefully curated. Deeply researched. Free of ads and shackles.
There are brilliant content producers with the finger on the pulse. So we won’t regurgitate the news just to keep up with the crowd, except if the news needs an urgent second opinion. And this is not a rarity. We take our time to see through commercial biases, and noodle on the nuances behind the headlines. Always in an easily digestible form. An individual human may be pear-shaped but is never bell-shaped - meaning, statistical evidence for whole populations may not fit well with you if you’re an edge case or working in extremes. Like many of our patients. While on the programme or alumni membership we’ll take the topics you ask us about and tailor what it means to those like you. And while we use AI tools to help us search and type faster, rest assured, we don’t rely on anyone except the experts.

Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Atheroma and Cardiovascular Events
In a recent publication in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers have established a worrisome connection between the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) in atherosclerotic plaques and an increased risk of cardiovascular incidents. Highlighting MNPs as both enduring environmental contaminants and significant health risks, this study underscores the critical need for managing our exposure to these particles.
In this article Dr Andrew delves into the recent findings, providing insights on practical measures to minimize exposure and mitigate the health impacts of MNPs. Steering clear of alarmism, he advocates for a balanced, integrated approach that combines reducing MNP exposure with broader cardiovascular health strategies, including lifestyle changes and preventive healthcare.
Time-restricted eating for cardiovascular health: controversy and complexity.
IF, recent headlines are to be believed, time restricted eating (TRE) may not be so good for our hearts, despite many people successfully improving body composition and cardiometabolic markers using this dietary strategy.
Too much of a good thing? The latest on omega 3 for heart health
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued guidance urging caution over the potential link between omega-3 intake and atrial fibrillation, reigniting discussions around the health implications of these fatty acids.
Despite the concerns, the myriad of benefits of omega-3, particularly eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, continue to be a topic of interest for both cardiovascular health and beyond.
This article looks at the latest research and offers a comprehensive analysis of recent studies and trials, assessing the risks and benefits of omega-3, its impact on conditions such as atrial fibrillation, and its broader implications for public health recommendations.
