I really enjoyed getting to have a in depth interview with Tai Chi and Qigong teacher Rich Morley.
Rich and I have been social media friends for a few years now and I deeply appreciate not only the humour that fills his pages, but also the valuable reflections on why breathing correctly is so important not just for health and prevention of illness, but also on healing from quite serious conditions. Rich recovered from years of Fibro...

It was great to be invited back onto Calon FM to my friend Denise Oliver's Empowerment Hour to talk about men's health in November (during the now infamous Movember - Men's Health Month) and to highlight some of the issues that men can face with their health.
We were very careful to point out that this was not an anti-female or anti-feminist show and that these were just perspectives about men's health, something that I am very awar...
