This podcast interview is a little different... My wonderful discussion with @nicolettericher at Eat Real to Heal is aimed at people who help other people make changes in their lives. How can someone change their habits? To create real, sustainable change? For me, this has been a pivotal question in my career and one that has informed most of the decisions I make when I see patients. How could I turn a frustrating Friday afternoon clinic when I feel that nobody is listening to me, into a fulfilling interaction, creating a connection that could change the way a person thinks about their health and their lives forever? .

I share with @nicolettericher my BLEND IT acronym, which is aimed at helping doctors, nurses, coaches, parents, friends - basically ANYONE - to communicate ideas and truly listen in a way that will help them make a change.

Tai Chi at @shardview this morning with @phynovatablets was utterly incredible. I was honoured to have been asked to be an ambassador for the work of @phynova_group and their Joint and Muscle Relief Tablet. They have worked tirelessly to bring the power of plants mainstream. Their tablet is the first traditional Chinese herbal medicine to receive UK MHRA recognition as well as Traditional Herbal Registration. .
.
.

Why is this important? Because when I see patients with rheumatic pain and arthritis there are very few products on the market to help relieve their symptoms. When I prescribe anti-inflammatories they can interact with other medications and also cause unwanted side-effects. Often my patients then turn to herbal remedies - but how can we know if the extract they choose is from a reliable source? A survey by @ucl analysed 70 herbal products from high street stores and internet retailers and found 27% of ginkgo products tested contained little or no extract, and 36% of the milk thistle products they tested had no milk thistle. Every THR certified product contained the quantity of active ingredient as claimed on the label. .
.
.

Integrity in the supplement industry is important, and @phynova_group have a pharmaceutical grade facility and background making them a trustworthy source for the active compound in their tablet, Sigesbeckia. For me, this morning’s tai chi symbolised the perfect fusion of East and West. The energy in the room was palpable and I was grateful to have been a part of introducing the power of plants to a larger audience.

We need bees. But how important is it really? What can we do about this imminent bee apocalypse hanging over us...? Well, quite a lot it turns out. I see emails about saving the bees and scroll with a feeling of mounting apathy as other emails tell me Brazilian beekeepers reported losing over 500 million honeybees in only three months this summer.... the bees in Brazil are dropping dead on the spot. Why? According to conservation biologist Thor Hanson, it is pesticides. “Just as the relaxation of forestry rules has led to more fires, so have loosened pesticide restrictions exposed more bees to lethal doses. Nearly 300 new products have been fast-tracked for approval since the beginning of the year, including known bee-killers banned or strictly regulated in other countries. And just as burning a rainforest impacts a lot more than trees, so does the loss of bees stretch far past the walls of the hive.”
🐝
He tells us bee-pollinated crops account for as much as a third of the food in the human diet. Fruits and nuts like blueberries and almonds depend upon bees entirely and many other crops drop in their absence. There are more than 20,000 species of bees, many of which are also essential pollinators, of crops as well as the plants at the heart of ecosystems - from tropical forests to mountain meadows. 🐝
What can we do?
🐝 Vote for political parties with environmental policies to protect wildlife, and encourage organic farming.
🐝 Support regenerative agriculture techniques and organic methods, which support a far greater diversity of pollinators - even if interspersed with conventional fields.
🐝 To help bees more directly (and when organic food is unaffordable), we can plant flowers. Pesticide-free sources of nectar and pollen can increase bees in any habitat, from window boxes to parks, gardens, and roadside verges.
🐝
Thor tells us the good news is that bee declines, like deforestation, are preventable tragedies. The first step is taking notice. Now it’s time for action. Bee the change. 🐝
This is a pumpkin, painted white, with decoupage bee napkins cut out and stick on, with a dollop of modpodge. We had a lot of pumpkins left over this month!
