Your health is so much more than your blood test results. 🩺

This week on Integrative Medicine Matters, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with GP and lifestyle medicine advocate Dr John Sykes for a conversation that could genuinely shift the way you think about your health.

They cover a lot of ground — and all of it matters:

🏃 Why movement is about so much more than weight loss
🥗 Why wraparound lifestyle care should come before medication
💊 The truth about GLP-1 weight loss drugs — and what happens when you stop
💪 Why muscle mass is your greatest asset as you age
🔬 The fascinating science of muscle myokines as natural anti-inflammatories
🤝 Why community and connection are as vital as diet and exercise
🍟 The uncomfortable battle being fought between big food and big pharma

This isn't a conversation about quick fixes or wellness trends. It's about building the real foundations of lasting health and why lifestyle medicine is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

Your blood tests are normal. But you feel awful. Sound familiar? 😔

This is one of the most common and most dismissed experiences in modern medicine and sleep researcher Adriano dos Santos thinks he knows why.

The answers are not showing up in standard blood panels because conventional medicine is not looking in the right places. The gut. The clock genes. The nervous system. The whole human.

Dr Elizabeth Thompson and Adriano dos Santos explore exactly this in this week's podcast episode of 'Integrative Medicine Matters'.

Could switching on a different light at night on actually help you sleep better? 🕯️

Sleep researcher Adriano dos Santos says yes and the science behind it is fascinating. It turns out the direction light enters your eyes matters more than most people realise. Ceiling lights trick your brain into thinking it's daytime. Simply switching to a dimmed table lamp in the evening can actually boost your melatonin levels.

No expensive bulbs. No biohacking gadgets. Just a simple switch.

This week on 'Integrative Medicine Matters' podcast, Dr Elizabeth Thompson sits down with Adriano to uncover the body clock secrets your doctor never mentioned.
