BREAKING:
Lead author of peer reviewed research re-analysing Pfizer & Moderna trials on mRNA vaccine @JosephFraiman calls for immediate suspension of jab due to serious harms.

People are rarely looking for advice, and always just looking to be heard. Learning to hold space for someone without trying to fix it, change it, or project your own emotions onto it is a gift to another human being.

Told all appointments are gone that day and call back tomorrow

And yes, I know GPs are working v hard
And no, it’s not all the government’s fault

(3/3) My talk about #IntegrativeMedicine and its role in prevention and management of long-term health conditions' will also posit how stress and trauma are often at the root of disease and why we need a trauma-informed model of care #igppPCC #IntegrativeMedicine
(2/3) We need to move on from a healthcare system focused on illness and heroic intervention, and driven by technology and pharmaceuticals to one that prioritises well-ness, whole-person health, diversity, choice and empowerment #igppPCC #IntegrativeMedicine
(1/3) Tomorrow I'm talking to an audience of policy makers, academics, NHS leaders and other peers about #IntegrativeMedicine and systems change: how IM can offer something to patients, healthcare practitioners AND the healthcare system in these challenging times #igppPCC

Notice when your thoughts are giving you pain. Come back to your breath. Repeat all day, everyday.
Gently, lovingly and kindly come back to the present moment. Maybe you need to do something with that thought. Maybe you don’t. Maybe breathe and put on a smile either way?

Did you know that turmeric is an amazingly powerful spice? It’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and can even increase something called, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which boosts brain function.
#NHS is close to burnout & #integrativemedicine needs to be part of systems change discussion. On 10/11 I'm speaking at @IGPP_ event about IM and how it can help prevent & manage chronic conditions which in turn reduces pressures on NHS shorturl.at/cjsxW #igppPCC

Exercise causes muscles to act like a sponge and take up kynurenine, preventing its conversion to a neurotoxic agent implicated in depression.
A meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials found aerobic exercise reduced depressive symptoms in people with depression.

Besides protecting your brain cells, ginger can boost your cognition, attention, speed/quality of memory and enhance learning.

Continuity of care: age and practice size are the strongest predictors of continuity. We know continuity is good for patients, but how do we prioritise it in larger practices.
