Life
Technology Will Make Each of Us the CEO of Our Own Health
I look at Peter Diamandis’s predictions for health tech, from regrowing organs to fitness trackers, and why I’d still rather stay well than rely on a cure.
The INSANE Rise of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes
In 1975 there were 105 million obese people worldwide. By the time I wrote this that number had risen to 641 million, with the UK facing even steeper figures for being overweight.

Seven weeks without a proper run, a half marathon next month and a 5km test with a weighted backpack. What happened when I stopped running.

My dad died when I was 22 and I started antidepressants soon after. A new study found combining meditation with exercise can cut depression symptoms by 40 percent.
Progress, NOT Perfection… (Body Transformation Update)

Is Clean Eating ‘Expensive, Unsustainable, and a Potential Health Risk’?
A Daily Mail article calls clean eating ‘expensive, unsustainable and a health risk’. My take on that claim, plus what Michael Moss’s book reveals about processed food addiction.
The Orange One
A simple three ingredient juice made with oranges, carrots and ginger, quick to make and a good one for a morning pick me up in minutes.

The free December that started everything
Why I gave a 31-day course away for free in December 2015, the 2009 story behind it, and what giving first taught me about business.
Breakfast of Champs
A green juice made with apples, kale, parsley, celery, cucumber and lemon, packed with vitamin K and vitamin C to give mornings a good start.
Just give up: sometimes it’s the right thing to do
Five thousand squats and push-ups in December, a chest full of cold and a decision on day 29. Why quitting is sometimes the strong choice.
