The Body Never Lies

The Myths of Pathology with Keith Littlewood


Listen Later

What happens when you go to the doctor and your bloods all look normal, but you are still feeling suboptimal?  I have clients who feel chronically ill, fatigued and hormonal, yet at a glance, they can appear normal on standard blood tests.  So what then?

Well, this is one of the reasons I started The Body Never Lies because there just are too many people coming to me with this story and I am sure that is the same for my guest Keith Littlewood.

You might remember Keith, aka Tommo from the last series.  He has a masters in endocrinology and is currently embarking on his PhD in endocrinology.  If you’d like to donate to his much needed research project, please scroll down for the link

    I highly recommend his Functional Endocrinology course if you are a practitioner and he also has a great course for the general population wanting to increase their knowledge and understanding of health.
