I'm a retired veterinarian with a Diploma in Psychology and a deep personal interest in the science of metabolic health. My research has led to a profound shift in how I understand health, weight management and the current epidemic of chronic disease. A desire to make that knowledge accessible to others, and to translate it into practical action, led to the creation of Pathways to Better Health blog. This is educational only and does not replace personalised medical advice. Rather, it is designed to help you work better with your team of health professionals.
