Mind the (Nutrient) Gap: Why Food Alone Might Not Be Enough

In this episode Lisa explains why a healthy-looking diet doesn’t always supply the nutrients your body needs. She defines the “nutrient gap”—the difference between what you eat and what your body actually absorbs—and walks through causes: soil depletion from intensive farming, aging-related absorption changes, and interfering medications. Using examples like declining mineral levels in modern foods, Lisa makes the case for targeted supplementation when necessary. She emphasizes that supplements aren’t a substitute for good food, but a tool to fill real gaps so your body can function optimally and chiropractic care can be more effective.

Beyond Symptoms: Rethinking What 'Healthy' Really Means

In this episode Lisa challenges the common assumption that absence of symptoms equals good health. She shares alarming UK statistics on healthy life expectancy and chronic disease, and explains why many people who report feeling ‘well’ still have long-term conditions or take multiple medications. Using the ‘health bucket’ metaphor, she argues that problems accumulate quietly before symptoms appear. Lisa also highlights simple checks — chiropractic assessments, targeted blood tests, and thermography — that can reveal early dysfunctions. The goal: shift from reacting to symptoms to identifying and addressing root causes earlier.

Is Sitting the New Smoking?

Lisa discusses the consequences of poor sitting posture and the phenomenon known as ligament creep. She explains how even the most perfect posture can lead to problems if maintained without breaks. The podcast explores how sitting can destabilize critical joints like the sacroiliac joints, causing compensatory muscle tension. Lisa suggests alternating between sitting and standing positions, using sit-to-stand desks, and integrating slight movements to prevent issues. By promoting awareness and making small adjustments, listeners can mitigate the musculoskeletal complications associated with extended periods of sitting.
