Resources For Life
The modern world wages a quiet war on our health, while medicine drowns in its own denials. After twenty-five years observing and learning from practitioners across Asia, California, and the UK, we’ve uncovered simple, time-tested truths about staying well. Wellbeing isn’t a trend to chase. It’s a discipline to honour. Some ancient paths remain unbeaten. Perhaps the wisest act of healing is subtraction: less poison, less pretense. Quit the cigarettes, temper the drink, forgo the chemical crutches, abandon the factory-made food, and question the lifestyle that leaves you ill at ease.

Roots & Remedies - The Tiny Fish With The Giant Reputation
Resources For Life The Tiny Fish With The Giant Reputation The 1970s found me keeping distinctly uncivilised hours aboard the sardine boats (blurred image above) out of Portimão, on Portugal's Algarve coast. My friend Luís's father captained one of the boats and, as the evening sun sank into the Atlantic, we'd slip away from the harbour, often lingering along the shoreline to catch squid before nosing into deeper water where the sardines would be gathering. The radar belonged in a maritime...

Resources For Life The Quiet Ambition of Plants For centuries, humans have underestimated plants because they mistake stillness for simplicity. A tree does not speak, move or demand attention, yet beneath the surface lies a world of remarkable intelligence, adaptation and chemical communication.

Resources For Life For Longevity: A Bacon Sandwich or Synthetic Supplements? Most of us hope to live a little longer.

Resources For Life What's Your Biggest Threat? Ask most people to list civilisation's impending catastrophes and they'll produce a familiar litany: nuclear war, cyber sabotage, rogue artificial intelligence, the slow attrition of climate and ecology and the psychological theatre of public-health campaigns promoted "for your own safety". The apocalypse, it seems, now comes in an impressive variety pack. They inhabit the rarefied realms of laboratories, corporations, governments, and generals,...
READ POSTRoots & Remedies - The Blood In Your Brain
Resources For Life The Blood In Your Brain Here is the thing that no one tells you in the fifteen-minute appointment with the GP who has a queue of other patients waiting: the pathology of Alzheimer’s begins, in many cases, twenty years before a single symptom surfaces. Twenty years! The amyloid plaques, the tau tangles, the slow strangulation of neural circuitry - this starts happening while you are busy doing other things entirely. While you are competent and confident and completely...

Resources For Life Running On Empty: Why Modern Life Leaves Us Depleted Modern man is a curious specimen: overfed, overstimulated and perpetually exhausted.

Resources For Life Loved to Death: The Curious Case of the Over-Medicated Dog A pet is not a weekend hobby or a decorative accessory. It's a long-term commitment whose health, comfort and longevity rest largely on the choices you make on its behalf. The difficulty is that modern pet care has become a marketplace of certainties, each sold in brighter packaging than the last. There is an assumption, almost religious in its confidence, that more interventions must automatically produce more...
