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.

Blood Flow Restriction Training: Resistance training for time poor individuals
Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training is making profound impacts on fitness routines worldwide, proving to be an adaptable and efficient method for achieving health and fitness goals amidst busy lifestyles and rehabilitation needs.
The technique employs strategic blood flow reduction to muscles during low-intensity exercises, enabling significant gains in muscle strength and size without the need for heavy lifting. Ideal for rehabilitation and those with limited gym access or time, BFR training is reshaping the way we think about fitness and recovery.
In this article, Dr Andrew explores the many benefits of this new approach to muscle development and rehabilitation, from enhanced muscle hypertrophy and strength to improved cardiovascular endurance and faster recovery times. Crucially, he will also guide you through the correct implementation of BFR training to ensure a safe and more effective workout.
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.
Why is Maintaining Weight Loss so Hard?
Sleep consistency vs duration: the underdog wins.
The emerging science of sleep has long emphasized the importance of sleep duration, typically recommending seven to nine hours per night for optimal health. However, the latest study published a few weeks ago in the journal Sleep offers a game-changing perspective. This isn't about clocking in more hours under the covers; it's about the rhythm and regularity of your sleep pattern.
Reduce hunger, boost mood and improve sleep with one simple tool: Time.
A study presented this week at the European Nutrition Conference by King’s Colege London highighted a study that sheds new light on the potential benefits of extending our morning fast that little bit further. The study, which is the largest of its kind outside of a clinical setting, has provided insightful findings on the benefits of eating within a 10-hour window and fasting for the remaining 14 hours. The results were presented at the European Nutrition Conference and drew upon data from users of the ZOE Health app.
How to put on muscle: Why less might be more.
Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is a relatively new training method, but it has quickly gained popularity among athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. This is because BFR has been shown to be very effective at increasing muscle strength and size, even when using light weights.
VILPA: The Secret to a Longer Life Could Be in Your Daily Routine
New research finds that just three to four one-minute bursts of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity (VILPA) each day is associated with large reductions in the risk of premature death, particularly from cardiovascular disease.

Medicine shouldn’t be a bitter pill to swallow
Despite the challenges and a generation of new medical training and incentives needed, performance medicine is not rocket science. In fact, the world may be a better place if people start eating, moving, sleeping and thinking better.
