I write Analyse for clinicians who ask "yes, but why?"

Analyse is the evidence-based clinical newsletter for health professionals and the science-minded who need more than protocols. It's for those of us who suspect current healthcare models aren't giving practitioners or patients the full picture. Every issue travels deeply upstream, into biochemistry, physiology, and the mechanistic first principles that explain the clinical WHY beneath what we're seeing in practice every day. Written by a Fellow in Lifestyle Medicine, Medical Scientist and Naturopath, Analyse is for anyone who needs the full meal of robust knowledge, not a protocol sheet. If you've ever looked at a result, a diagnosis, or a treatment plan and known something was missing, please join us. Archive below.
