Eat Real Food

This pandemic has swiftly concentrated minds on the fact health is the truest measure of wealth.

For decades, thanks to the corporate capture of the food sector by vested interests, we’ve been popping pills to treat but not cure chronic diseases – many rooted in our subsistence on ultra-processed fakery marketed as food.

The UK’s Graham Phillips is known as The Pharmacist Who Gave Up Drugs.

He’s getting spectacular results with a new coaching service for people in metabolic distress: personalised nutrition and lifestyle tweaks based on biometric data and blood sugar monitoring.

He also sees a bigger disease prevention role for community pharmacists, the unsung heroes of the COVID crisis.
