Orthomolecular therapy

A consultation about nutrition, deficiencies and supplements, read against your own blood work rather than against a symptom questionnaire. Every recommendation traced to a published source, and the ones with thin evidence named as thin.

Per consultation

You bring a recent blood panel and a list of everything you are taking. You leave with what to change, in what order, and what to stop.

Every recommendation is traced to a published source, and where the evidence is thin it is named as thin. That last part is most of the value: a great deal of what is sold as orthomolecular has never been tested in people, and a therapist who does not say so is selling.

How it runs

  1. 01

    You send your most recent blood results and a list of everything you take.

  2. 02

    We go through it together: what the values say, what they do not say, and what is worth testing.

  3. 03

    You get a written plan: what to change, in what order, and what evidence each part rests on.

  4. 04

    A follow-up once new blood work exists, because without it the plan is a guess with a nice layout.

What it is not

Not a diagnosis and not a replacement for your doctor. Orthomolecular therapy is not a recognised medical treatment, it works alongside your GP or specialist, and anything that belongs with them is referred there.

The research behind it

Free, and the same reading this service is built on. Nothing here is held back for people who pay.

Is chewing gum bad for you? What your body thinks is coming

The worry is that chewing gum makes your body release insulin as if food were coming, which would matter if you are fasting. Chewing does send that signal, with saliva and gut hormones. When researchers measured the insulin, it had not moved.
