Written by the people who run the clinics
General, practical articles about prevention, movement, sleep, nutrition and getting more out of an appointment.
Everything here is general education, not individual medical advice. If something applies to you, bring it to an appointment rather than acting on it alone.
All articles
What a health assessment should actually tell you
More tests is not the same as more information. A look at how screening decisions are made, and why a good assessment often leaves things out.
The fifteen minutes before your appointment
A short, practical guide to preparing for a consultation, and why the order you say things in changes what you get out of it.
Reading your results without panicking
Reference ranges, flagged values and the difference between abnormal and important — written for the evening a result lands in your inbox.
Movement that survives a busy week
Why rehabilitation programmes fail in week three, and how to build one that keeps going when the week goes wrong.
Sleep is not a luxury item
What actually helps sleep, what does not, and why the advice to relax is the least useful sentence in the literature.
The two changes rule
Why a nutrition plan with twelve changes in it is a plan with none, and how to choose which two are worth the effort.
A plain guide to perimenopause
What perimenopause is, why it is so often missed, and the questions worth taking to an appointment.
When virtual care is the right choice
A practical view of what a video appointment does well, what it does badly, and how to get the most from one.
