Exercise deserves to be taken seriously as a clinical intervention, not just a throwaway bit of lifestyle advice.

But meaningful exercise prescription requires understanding someone’s starting point, individual needs and capacity to progress.

And that takes time.

As both a GP and a strength coach, I see the value of this approach and the practical difficulties of delivering it in an already overstretched healthcare system.

The paper that prompted this was Exercise Is Critical for Brain Health, a peer-reviewed viewpoint published in Brain Health (3 November 2026).

We’re constantly being sold the next big thing in health, while overlooking things we’ve known for decades.

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but identifying and treating it can save lives.

The study used single BP readings, so not everyone with an elevated result will have hypertension. But the findings are a powerful reminder.

Good evidence doesn’t need to be new, shiny or exciting to be valuable.

When did you last have your blood pressure checked?

Having the conversation won’t make bad things happen.

It’s just a chat. 💬

Organ donation is in my opinion the greatest gift you can give.

Just have a chat about it.

Let’s make up a problem so we can sell you the solution.
🖕🏼
What sh*te. Don’t fall for it.

Our bodies look different as we age.
They’re supposed to.

Guess what I don’t look like my 25-year-old self because I’m not that woman anymore.

It doesn’t make it a problem that I need to buy a solution for. 🤬🤬🤬

You know by now where to find The Prescription Strength Podcast, and I am always open to people who have a story we can all take inspiration from.

Thank you to Tat for her open and honest story and to her dad, Sir Muir Gray who put us in touch.

A free week in Costa Rica, mind-altering substances and a 98% chance of experiencing a miracle.

What could possibly go wrong? 😂

I think I’ll give this particular brand collaboration a miss.

Convenience has a price ceiling in my world.

I’ve no idea why whey protein has shot up in price, but no amount of discount codes makes it worthwhile in my opinion.

Back to tracking macros for a while till I’ve got a new system to replace it.

Careful of those pesky meaningless terms like boosting, supporting and detoxing.

Thanks to .medical for the great conversation

It’s a bit cold ☑️ I’m a bit tired ☑️ I’ve got to crack on with work ☑️ I need to stare at the puppy☑️ I’ll enjoy it more later ☑️ I can’t really be arsed ☑️

Once I said them all out loud they all sounded pathetic

Back now and as usual, glad I went. 😁
