If I had my way I’d have compulsory nutrition education for doctors, change the recommended Food Pyramid towards low GL real foods, ban or disincentivise ultra-processed foods and unnecessary and potentially harmful food ingredients, stop the pharma funded drug regulator controlling food supplements and legitimate medical claims as a means to protect drug sales over natural compounds.

I’d also insist that vaccines are subject to the same rigour required for any medicine and give the public accurate evidence regarding efficacy and safety so they can make informed choices.

In case you hadn’t noticed this is exactly what Robert Kennedy, the US Secretary of Health, has been up to in the US, demanding that all doctors in the US will now study nutrition, treating food as medicine.

He’s also pushing for legislature to end mandatory vaccines that require a child wishing to attend school to have. The list of compulsory vaccines has already reduced from 17 to 11. Before this, the total number of vaccine doses required for a child to go to school was 77. The combined effect of this is largely unresearched and thus unknown.

He’s also been banning certain toxic chemicals allowed in food and removing vested interests from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For me this came to a head when ten out of eleven expert advisors voted against licensing the Alzheimer’s drug aducanemab concluding there was not enough evidence of effectiveness. Yet the drug was licensed. Several experts resigned.

He's also proposing a new regulatory process for food supplements, out of the hands of the largely pharma funded FDA. He’s also radically overhauled the directorial and scientific line up of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and its vaccine advisory apparatus to remove key people with vested interests enabling political interference against the science-based advice.

With so much madness going on it’s good to see someone facing up to corruption. What do you think?

Fascinating research round up of some gut research which is constantly evolving and challenging what we thought we knew. 💪

I'm a conference addict - always on the lookout for learning more & challenging what I thought I knew, or had nailed! Because that's the beauty of science, it changes… we have to keep an open mind & drive to learn 🤓

I obsessively follow the work of the European Society of Neurogastroenterology & Motility (ESNM) - who provide a dedicated arm called Gut Microbiota for Health (GMFH), focusing on the microbiome's role in health & disease. Their 2025 year in review of published research in this area is brilliant.

Some of the biggest gut microbiome science themes emerging:
❤️ microbiome & cardiovascular risk: A metabolite called imidazole propionate (produced by specific gut bacteria) has been identified as a driver of arterial plaque & a potential early biomarker of cardiometabolic disease. We may soon be able to detect cardiovascular vulnerability before standard markers even flag it. Meanwhile, new mechanistic research is showing how gut microbes directly regulate bile acid production & cholesterol balance

🧠 The gut-brain axis: research is showing that intestinal dendritic cells can physically migrate to the brain & influence behaviour, meaning early-life microbial colonisation may have long-term neurological consequences. New findings are showing the microbiome helps regulate cortisol rhythms & circadian-HPA axis balance…. Literally mind blowing!

🔥 IBD, IBS & precision medicine: Microbiome shifts appear to precede clinical flares in Crohn's disease, opening the door to predictive biomarkers & more personalised treatment. As for IBS? A trial found that many people who believe they react to gluten may actually be responding to FODMAP load / expectation - huge clinical implications!

🧓 Prebiotics for cognitive ageing: A trial for adults over 60 found that an inulin + FOS blend improved cognitive performance versus placebo. The microbiome-brain connection is getting very practical, very fast.

The microbiome is no longer just a digestive story, it's cardiovascular, neurological, immunological, & metabolic - all combined!

This week I'll share practical tools for feeding your microbiome well: fibre, phytochemicals & a challenge you can actually do. Stay tuned.
