A Few Changes I’m Making Here

My thank you gift to you...

A lot of people are struggling right now 💔.

Physically. Emotionally. Financially. Mentally.

And if I’m honest, I’ve been feeling it too - my heart has been heavy for most of 2026.

I’ve had to make a conscious effort to remind myself of the good that still exists in the world (and you are absolutely on that list). Thankfully, there is still so much of it.

I’m deeply grateful for the people who are shining their light brighter than ever.

Nine years ago, when I moved from the UK to San Francisco, I felt a visceral pull to use my medical training and clinical experience to share a different approach to health, one that focuses on root causes instead of band-aids.

I’ve built my platform around making health feel less overwhelming.

Less noise and baseless trends. More science and clarity.

And lately, trying to decide what should be “free” versus “paid” has started to feel impossible.

More importantly, I don’t feel comfortable knowing that these decisions could stand in the way of someone who genuinely wants to improve their health, especially during a season when life already feels so heavy.

🎁 So, moving forward, I’m removing paywalls from my emails.

What This Means for You

Starting now, every new Substack article will land in your inbox in full 📧 — free.

📧 And instead of sticking to a weekly cadence, I’ll write when there’s something timely and genuinely helpful to share.

Let’s face it, our inboxes are already full, and I only want to take your time and attention when I have something truly worth sending.

If You’d Still Like to Support My Work…

If you feel called to support the time, research, and care that go into my work, I would be deeply grateful for a paid subscription or for using my affiliate links on products I share.

✨ A paid subscription allows you to:

• Browse and read all previous Substack articles in my archive.

• Comment on posts and ask questions.

• Chat in the community.

P.S. In 2026, I’ll be donating all subscription proceeds to the Zero Foodprint. It’s a small step toward a big dream of mine: a future where we don’t need an “organic” label at all. Where all food is grown in a way that restores our soil, supports farmers, and nourishes both human and planetary health.

🙏 So, if you are a paid subscriber, you are not only supporting my work, but the regeneration of our planet (and therefore human health).

Thank You (Truly)

Whether you’re a free subscriber, a paid subscriber, someone who shares my posts with a friend, or someone quietly reading along in the background…

❤️ Thank you…

Thank you for taking control of your health…

Thank you for caring…

Thank you for spreading this vital information…

You’re the reason I keep showing up here even when it feels hard.
