I’ve spent 20 years in healthcare, and I still can’t get used to it. One industry profits by normalising food that drives inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic fatigue. Then another absorbs trillions to manage the damage. As a growth model for separate markets,...

Women’s hearts have been studied last, treated later, and too often… ignored. And it’s costing lives. We spend a third of our lives in menopause—a cardiovascular turning point—and yet the system still isn’t built for us. It’s time to change the conversation. It’s time...
