Marek Doyle is a nutritional therapist whose own metabolic problems forced him to see to see the disconnect between the scientific literature, the medical model and real-life outcomes.
From his 13 years of experience and reconciling the data from over 2000 patient outcomes and 9000 test results, he utilised a personalised nutrition approach. He aims to identify the root cause of conditions and dysfunction and provide answers that are provided by data, not dogma. From a string of outcomes considered ‘impossible’ turnarounds by some, he now finds himself specialising in complex cases.
In this fascinating episode, we dive into many topics related to the thyroid:
- Symptoms and signs of abnormal thyroid function
- Prevalence of low thyroid function
- Issues with standard tests and which ones to ask for
- How diets relate to thyroid disease
- Essential nutrients for the thyroid
- How to identify and reduce toxin exposure
- Real-life case studies of thyroid disease reversal

Dr Nyjon Eccles is a well respected integrative medicine physician in the UK. He holds two doctorates in both medicine and pharmacology and has been pioneering, innovative and natural healthcare over the last decade.
Nyjon runs a cancer support clinic and utilises a non-invasive ThermoCheck® breast thermography scanning which helps to identify breast cancer risk. This technique uses no radiation and is scientifically proven but it is not currently on the NHS.
Nyjon believes the availability of scanning tool which can detect risk many years before symptoms present themselves offers an unprecedented opportunity to reduce the ongoing rise in breast cancer occurrence because it allows the possibility of reversing risk through correct attention to lifestyle and key nutritional supplementation.

Introducing Dr Saul Konviser BDS MSc BSc! Saul is a lead general dentist at the Montagu Dental practice - we discuss dental health, how to it can affect your overall health and some practical tips on how to improve and maintain good oral health. We put a spotlight on sugar, jaw clenching, drinks, food and even the mental health effects of poor dental health plus much more.
In additional to Saul's interest in functional dentistry, he has developed a special interest in the area of sports dentistry given his passion for sport himself. This allows him to work closely with both professional and amateur sportspeople, helping them understand the importance of oral health on their sporting performance and general health.
Something which has interested me for a long time is the link between dental health and chronic diseases. Therefore, the benefits of looking after your teeth and your oral health may not only be localised to your mouth but your entire body.
