Most of what gets called healthy is just normal. Normal is not the same as optimal.
I am Lee, a prescribing pharmacist working in the NHS. I also live with diabetes, so this is not theory for me. Every week I break down the tests, numbers and decisions that actually move the needle on long term health. The biomarkers I run on myself. The tests I cannot order on the NHS but wish I could. What it is really like navigating the health system as both the person prescribing and the person managing a condition every day.
No fluff. Just evidence, from a clinician who holds himself to the same standard

Iron is one of the most important minerals in your body, yet most people only find out they're low once they're anaemic, and that's one of the last signs to appear. In this episode I give a general overview of iron, from why it matters to how to test and treat it.
I start with what iron does: 6.5...

Around 1 in 7 people on GLP-1s say they've tried microdosing, so in this episode I look at whether any of it is backed by evidence.
I start with what microdosing actually means. There's no official definition, and I cover why it took off, from cost to side effects to claims about inflammation, lo...
I come from lifting, so I wanted the answer to be strength. In this episode, I go through the biggest studies on fitness, strength and mortality to answer one question: if you could only train one, which matters more for living longer?
I start with what VO2 max really measures, and why a MET is b...
Heart disease has taken another member of my family, and it's the reason I've put so much of my career into prevention. This is a more personal episode, but I didn't want it to be just my story. I wanted you to leave with something you can actually use.
I start with why heart disease is still the...
At 41, after taking steroids continuously since he was 18, this patient has an ejection fraction of 15% and is on the waiting list for a heart transplant. In this episode I talk through his case and use it to separate two things that often get lumped together: anabolic steroid abuse and properly ...
Everyone's heard the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio talked about like it tells you how inflamed you are right now. It doesn't — and the researcher who actually invented the real alternative test says so directly. This week I go through what the ratio actually measures, the real mechanisms behind omega-...
Two growth hormone peptides, built by two companies in the same city, at the same time, for the same condition, using the exact same natural hormone as their starting point. In July 2006, one company's trial was halted after a participant died. The other company's trial, treating the same disease...
Most people asking about a peptide want to know one thing: does it work. That's not actually the first question you should be asking — and this week I walk through the checklist that should come before it, the one almost nobody follows, including plenty of people already using these products.
I c...
There's a weight-loss drug right now producing the biggest numbers ever recorded in an obesity trial. It hasn't been approved by a single regulator anywhere in the world. And it's already being injected by thousands of people, sourced from vendors who have no legal right to sell it for human use....
BPC-157 is the poster child for the peptide boom, and I want to be upfront: I'm not against peptides on principle — insulin and GLP-1 medications are peptides too. What matters is how something's produced, how it's used, and whether the evidence actually supports it. This episode is me working th...
