"Your instincts are there to make life or death decisions.
How you navigate this modern world is one of them"
Before there was Holland & Barrett flogging detox teas, Boots selling Coca-Cola next to cough syrup, and GPs who look more inflamed than the patients they work for—there was instinct.
There was a time when we could read our hunger like a headline.
When cravings held wisdom.
And gut feelings were foresight (not bloating).
But somewhere along the way, we outsourced it all.
Our food. Our sun exposure. Our common sense.
We handed the keys to authorities who had no regard for our own interests, only theirs. And took their word over what we felt inside.
It’s time to bring back the doctor inside you.
Here's how to start...
Information is Everywhere. Wisdom is Rare.
We have more podcasts, protocols and peptides than ever before. But chronic illness, burnout, and dietary confusion are all skyrocketing.
Depending on which corner of the internet you find yourself in, you'll find different ideas and answers—the only thing they all have in common is a complete absence of context.
Health advice assumes you're a lab rat, not a layered human being with context, culture and lived experience. And it assumes you live in a sterile, constant environment. Not a seasonal, cyclical planet.
And that's only the well-intentioned advice. Not the stuff that comes from the centralised, sickness industry.
In the end, the only person who has all the context of you is you.
Your body is speaking:
Hunger is feedback
Cold hands are a message
Cravings can be wisdom
Sunlight is always medicine
Community is immunity
Sleep is therapy
These are the timeless basics.
You'll notice that none of them have been "discovered" (invented) by humans.
Unlike the following:
Saturated fat clogs your arteries
Cows cause climate change
Everyone needs to fast
Disease begins in the gut
Cholesterol is a villain
Synthetic vitamin D is always the answer
Supplements can replace food
Animal foods are toxic
Some of these may hold partial truths.
Most are marketing.
None are universal.
And all of them are relatively new ideas that no one believed 100 years ago.
Which tells us they don't come from incorruptible human instinct.
We're not saying new ideas and interpretations are bad...
There are whole host of books we've read that blew us wide open.
The Great Cholesterol Con – Fat, fear, and fiction
Overpowered – On EMFs which correlates with the explosion of modern diseases not just sugar or seed oils.
Toxic Legacy – What glyphosate did to our soils, and our children
The Carnivore Code – A rethink on animal foods
To Dye For – Why our clothes are laced with petrochemicals
The Great Plant-Based Con – Truths, finally, from the UK
Rewild – What gut health might really mean
Estrogeneration – How plastics hijack our hormones
The Healing Power of the Sun – Not the enemy, but the ally
Toxic Superfoods – Oxalates, almonds and the myth of ‘super’
Don’t agree with all of them?
Good.
That’s the point.
You’re not here to be told what to think. You’re here to start thinking.
Awareness: The Forgotten Organ
No book, no matter how good, can replace it.
When to rest.
When to move.
When to eat.
What to eat.
When to retreat.
When to question.
When to roar.
If you’re disconnected from your body, your choices will always be reactive, not responsive. That’s how we end up burnt out from breathwork and orthorexic on ‘wellness’.
The truth is, healing isn’t found in extremes. It’s in the slow remembering of how we used to live, and who we used to be—before we were medicalised, sterilised, and algorithmically optimised.
A Shepherd of One
Becoming your own doctor isn’t rebellious—it’s responsible.
It means stepping off the conveyor belt of chronic confusion. It means seeing supplements, tests and wearables as tools, not saviours. It means letting food be the anchor again—nutrient-dense, ancestral, whole.
And it means rejecting a world that tells you “normal” is always tired, always stressed, always unwell.
Listen to yourself, you're wiser than you ever knew.
And whatever you do, don't take our word for it.
