What we eat plays a meaningful role in brain health across the lifespan. 🧠🌱

This World Alzheimer’s Day, we’re highlighting a large cohort study of over 90,000 adults, where plant-based dietary patterns were associated with differences in dementia risk.

Stronger benefits were seen when diets emphasised whole, minimally processed plant foods.

This research highlights an important distinction, it’s not just about eating plant-based, but the quality of those foods.

With dementia rates rising globally, lifestyle interventions represent a key modifiable factor for prevention and long-term health.

We’ve designed a FREE checklist to empower you with small daily habits that create a ripple effect to live a healthier and longer life.

The Daily Lifestyle Habits Checklist is a simple PDF you can print off, stick on your fridge, and check off as you build your new routine.

No “safe” limit for alcohol and cancer 🍷

A recent review analysed over 843 cohort and case-control studies to re-evaluate dose-response relationships between alcohol consumption and 20 different health outcomes.

The comprehensive review was published in Nature Health (2026), and revealed stronger evidence for the harm caused by alcohol than any potential health benefits.

Even light to moderate drinking was found to increase the risk of several cancers.
Addressing alcohol use in clinical practice requires time, compassion and a multimodal approach.

Learn how you can reduce the stigma and barriers that prevent your patients from seeking support at our upcoming Lifestyle Medicine Conference in November.

We are honoured to welcome Dr. Chris Davis to present 'Rethinking alcohol: From lifestyle risk to recovery and resilience'.

Dr Davis is a GP and Addiction Medicine Specialist with over 15 years' clinical experience in alcohol and drug dependence across the UK and Australia.

He is the clinical co-founder of Clean Slate Clinic, a social enterprise offering telehealth-based alcohol withdrawal and recovery support.

A new review of global food cost data from the last 25 years challenges the long-established narrative that plant-based diets are more expensive. 💰🌱

The findings of the review, published in Academia Nutrition & Dietetics (2026), conclude that plant-based diets can provide cost advantages compared to conventional omnivorous diets.

Distinguishing between the type of plant based diet is essential.

Plant-based diets that emphasise the majority of calories from whole or minimally processed plant foods consistently demonstrated cost savings across diverse geographic locations.

In high-income countries, the availability and marketing bias towards specialty plant-based products, like meat and dairy substitutes, may increase costs compared to omnivorous diets.

Beyond the cost savings for individual consumers, the review examined economic modelling that incorporated healthcare and climate costs. 🩺🌏

Plant-based diets emerged as a powerful, cost-effective solution for multiple global challenges.

Despite the evidence of affordability, the perceived high-costs of plant-based diets are a barrier to transition.

Overcoming this misconception comes down to practical nutrition literacy, including how to prepare whole plant foods in a simple and affordable way for everyday people.

👉 Our on-demand course ‘Make the Switch’ is designed to help you move toward whole food plant-based eating at a pace that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Led by doctors and dietitians, you’ll gain the knowledge, tools and support to make lasting health improvements – one step at a time!
