Function Health

Talking with my wife about how much we now know about health & nutrition, compared to even a decade ago.

But even with all the new information, scientific study and breadth of information available - it seems increasingly clear that 95% of people will continue to do what they’ve always done.

Unfortunately, 95% of people believe that:

- Feeling lousy after you hit 40 is just part of getting older. It’s not.

- Heart disease is genetic. It’s not.

- Conditions such as Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Dementia and Heart disease are not reversible. They are.

- The only way to treat sickness or disease is with drugs. It’s not (despite what your doctor has said).

My question to you is..

Are you in the 95% - or the 5%?

The 5% who now know that eating the right stuff, moving your body and getting outside are more powerful medicines than any drug on the market.

The 5% who have taken control of their health and are feeling better in their 50’s, 60’s & 70’s than they did in their 40’s.

The 5% who were told they were stuck with a “chronic” disease, but have become informed and proved their doctor wrong.

It can be hard to “unlearn” what we’ve been told for decades.
But in the words of Dr Phil - “How’s that working for you?”

We’re sicker, more overweight, taking more pills and living shorter lives than any time in human history.

I’d say the advice we’ve been adhering to is not working at all.

So what do we do?

Simple. Get curious. Start asking questions and looking for better solutions that you’ve been offered before.

There’s a ton of info out there to point you in the right direction.
This whole page is basically an encyclopaedia of stuff you’ve been misinformed about.

But to truly take control of your health, you first have to look in the mirror and decide if you’re happy to keep doing what the 95% have always done, or whether you want to more for yourself and your loved ones.

Which group are you in?

Another Friday movie night 🎥 🍿

But this one is very special.

Healing Humanity is a labour of love from our mate Kerry Mann.
Kerry was overweight, suffering crippling depression, and basically without hope.
Until he discovered that food is medicine.

Fast forward a couple of years and he’s combining his story with thousands of others who have turned their life around simply by changing what’s on their plate.

This is just a sneak preview, as the documentary will be out in early 2026, but if you’re even a little bit curious about improving your health I’d encourage you to go to
www.healinghumanity.movie
and see what’s possible. 💪

If you’re feeling rundown for no apparent reason, and you’re suffering from any or all of the following:

- dizzy spells
- restless legs
- cold hands and/or feet
- headaches
- brittle nails
- sore tongue
- hair falling out

You’re probably low in Iron my friend.

So, just eat a steak right?
Actually, yes!

Well, it’s often not quite that simple - but eating steak is a good start.
Animal products contain heme iron which has a much higher absorption rate than non-heme iron (which comes from plant based sources).

But there are some other things you can do to make sure you’re getting enough into your system.

Iron needs hydrochloric acid to be absorbed. If you’re snacking often during the day your levels may not get the chance to replenish. If you drink a lot with meals, your acid will become diluted and therefore you will absorb less. Or if you’re taking one of those awful reflux tablets I’m always banging on about - you’ll have bu**er all stomach acid. Big problem.

So try to drink less while eating if you can - preferably nothing 30 minutes before or after eating.

Some lemon juice or a dash of cayenne pepper 30 minutes before eating can also help stimulate acid production.

If you’re worried and go to your doctor - make sure they test for Ferritin as well as Hemoglobin. Many people have low Ferritin (a protein that stores iron in your body) and normal Hemoglobin. Testing just one is useless.

You know the drill by now…

Steak & Eggs people - steak and eggs 💪🏼

I’ll just leave this here…

When you eat real food with protein and healthy fats as the basis of your meals, you don’t have to worry about:

- Calories
- Portion sizes
- Scoffing multivitamins, gummies, etc
- Reading food labels
- Paying $$ for medications

Easy Peasy 💪

The makers of Ozempic are in the middle of a massive lawsuit estimated to be worth around $2 billion.

What’s behind it you ask?

Well it appears that people all over the world are getting sick from the side effects that we’ve been talking about for a while now.
And when I say sick, I mean very sick.

Now, you’re probably going to find this difficult to believe, but there are accusations that the Pharma company that makes this drug intentionally withheld information about its dangers from doctors and patients. 😱
Perish the thought that drug companies would put billion dollar profits above public safety. 🤦🏻‍♂️

We’ve been over the side effects before, but it bears repeating because losing a few kilos is not worth irreparably damaging your health - or worse..

The victims in these lawsuits have suffered the following side effects:

💥 Gastroparesis (stomach paralysis). This can cause severe nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and other complications

💥 Ileus (bowel obstruction). A condition where the intestines cannot move waste through the body. In laymen’s terms - you stop being able to poo, and require emergency surgery before, well, I’ll leave it to your imagination…

💥 Thyroid cancer. The company was literally FORCED to put a warning on the box about it.

💥 Vision loss. We spoke about this a few months back as a potential side effect - and now here we are.

There are many other side effects mentioned in the lawsuit - including pulmonary embolisms, deep vein thrombosis and death (I hear that’s pretty serious).

Here’s one that’s not mentioned - Osteoporosis.
The only reason it’s not front and centre is that its a bit too early - people have only been taking the drug for a few years, but wait about 10 years and see the cascade of lawsuits. This stuff erodes your muscle mass and bone density. We’re unfortunately going to be seeing 50 year olds riding mobility scooters and using walking frames because they have wasted away to nothing and have the strength of an 80 year old.

I’m telling you folks, this stuff is no joke.

Please do your research, please don’t rely on your GP for advice - because the vast majority either don’t know, or don’t care about the side effects.

Losing weight is an admirable goal. But, don’t ruin your life to achieve it.

When I speak to people about ways to improve their health, the subject of cooking real food inevitably comes up.

We talked about how many added nasties are in pretty much every food that comes in a packet - literally dozens in every single meal you eat.

I always get pushback though. With people telling me they don’t have time.
I can definitely see where people are coming from - we’re all busy and all have demands on our time.

But the bottom line is this…

If it’s a priority, you’ll make time for it.
Sadly, it often only becomes a priority after you get a health problem.

If you’re organised, you can literally prepare a week’s worth of food in a couple of hours on a Sunday. You just have to make healthy food a non-negotiable.

I understand you’re flat out with your job and family, but if a CEO can run a billion dollar company, raise 3 kids, cheat on his wife and still find time to attend a Coldplay concert - then you’ve got time to roast a chook 😉

Instead of putting Pink ribbons on their products or donating 5c from every sale to cancer research, maybe these food & cosmetics companies could just stop using ingredients that cause cancer…🤔

Just a thought 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wondering why kids have so many behavioural issues nowadays?

I have some ideas..🤔

Every single thing you put in your body either makes you sicker, or healthier - there is no middle ground.

Cut out the junk and watch your body respond 💪

It’s National Diabetes week. As we look to curb the absolute explosion of this disease, it’s important once again to be wary of who you take your health information from.

You could take advice from people like my colleagues at Defeat Diabetes.

They suggest cutting back processed foods (especially processed carbs), and getting rid of things like seed oils, food additives and dyes.

In short, eat real food. ✅
Pretty good advice if you ask me. 👍

Or you can get your advice from Diabetes Australia.

They’ve partnered with the good people at Abbott pharmaceuticals to promote a meal replacement shake called Glucerna.

Let’s have a look at a few of the ingredients shall we? 🤔

1. Maltodextrin (essentially just sugar)
2. Sunflower oil
3. Soy oil
4. Sucromalt (a variant of sugar)
5. Fructose (straight sugar)
6. Fructo-olligosaccharides (a long, complicated name for sugar)
7. Isomaltulose (a combination of glucose & fructose)
8. Carboxymethylcellulose (an indigestible carbohydrate)
9. Emulsifier 322
10. Stabiliser 415

Wow, quite the top 10.. 😳

You really have to ask if these organisations raking in millions a year 💰 💰 have your best interests at heart?

I’ll leave it to you to decide. 🤦🏻‍♂️
