Reading Time: 5 minutes. The NHS’s worst-case scenario involves record flu hospitalisations of 2,660 patients daily—a 55% weekly increase—coinciding with a five-day doctors’ strike during peak winter demand. The severe H3N2 “super flu” strain is overwhelming emergency departments and filling 106 critical care beds, while reduced staffing threatens to create dangerous gaps in care. Combined…

Reading Time: 11 minutes. When an infection takes hold, the body’s immune response does more than fight off pathogens—it fundamentally alters how energy is distributed throughout the system. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, the chemical messengers coordinating immune defence, interact with the brain in ways that trigger profound exhaustion. This isn’t a weakness or a coincidence. It’s a…

Reading Time: 9 minutes. Viral infections activate immune responses that disrupt brain function. Inflammatory cytokines cross the blood-brain barrier, triggering microglial activity that weakens synaptic connections essential for concentration. This neuroinflammatory process explains the mental fog many experience during illness. While rest helps, emerging research identifies specific strategies that actively reverse inflammation’s cognitive impact—approaches rarely…

Reading Time: 13 minutes. When the flu strikes, that bone-deep exhaustion isn’t just in one’s head—it’s happening at the cellular level. The influenza virus fundamentally disrupts cellular energy production, forcing a shift from efficient power generation to less effective emergency systems. Meanwhile, the immune response diverts substantial resources toward combating infection. Understanding these biological mechanisms…

Reading Time: 7 minutes. Recent clinical evidence suggests that a carnivore diet may offer relief for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) through multiple mechanisms. I’ve observed that eliminating fibre and plant antigens while increasing protein intake can reduce gut inflammation and support intestinal barrier repair. A case series of ten IBD patients demonstrated sustained clinical remission…

Reading Time: 15 minutes. During illness, the body’s demand for ATP increases as immune cells combat infections. When mitochondria struggle to keep pace, energy shortages can slow recovery. This gap explains why rest alone sometimes fails to hasten healing. Practical steps can help maintain cellular energy—but knowing which ones matter most depends on understanding the…
