Dr John Briffa

welcome,

My name is Dr John Briffa and I’m a naturally-oriented medical doctor, author and speaker. I’m dedicated to providing honest and trustworthy holistic health advice that can be used to combat and prevent illness, overcome everyday ailments, enhance energy and bring a greater sense of wellbeing. My advice is based on a mix of scientific research and 20 years of clinical experience (with a healthy dose of common sense thrown in too).

My regular blog covers a wide range of health-related topics and advice. You can browse articles by clicking on blog archive, or use the search button at the top right of this screen if you have a specific area of interest.

I have authored several books that will give you a more in-depth idea of how to improve your overall health and wellbeing,  the latest of which is – Waist Disposal: the Ultimate Fat Loss Manual for Men. There are also e-books and audiobooks available which contain information and advice designed to help you become and stay healthy in the easiest and most practical ways.

More individualised help and advice can be had from Nutrinalysis™. This online nutrition profiling tool gives personalised nutritional advice and food suggestions based on the science of metabolic typing (the fact that nutritional needs vary from person to person).

If you’re interested in learning more about how nutritional and other naturally-oriented strategies can be used to enhance the energy, effectiveness and sustainability of individuals within businesses and organisations, see the section entitled Fit for Business.

To your good health.

Dr John Briffa

Diabetes costs ‘out of control’, and why this is no surprise given standard dietary advice for diabetics

I saw this story on the BBC website this morning. It concerns the costs of treating those with diabetes. Apparently, the cost of drugs for managing diabetes is rising (a lot), and now accounts for 7 per cent of the total amount spent on prescribing in the UK. Between 2000 and 2008 prescriptions for diabetic [...]

There’s a study doing the rounds that is being reported as evidence that ‘Atkins’ was wrong’. Apparently, according to those reporting the study, it shows that eating more meat generally causes increased weight gain over time [1].

Low cholesterol levels associated with depression and other mental health issues

I know that some doctors and scientists would have us believe that, where cholesterol is concerned, ‘lower is better’, but I have real difficulty mustering any enthusiasm for this stance.

Multivitamin and mineral supplementation found to help fat loss and speed metabolic rate

While I am interested in many aspects of health, and in particular providing information that individuals can use to exert more control over their health and wellbeing, I do confess to having a particular interest in weight loss.
