Sign up to my new weekly newsletter: Well. Done.
If you feel overwhelmed by health and wellness information, if you’re sick of being told which diet or supplement to try, if you’re craving solid, reliable and evidence-based information about wellbeing and nutrition that isn’t paid for by companies capitalising on our insecurities, then subscribe to my free newsletter, Well. Done.
When I was writing ‘Irritated’, my latest book about the allergy epidemic, I spent a lot of time online and on social media, trying to work out what people with allergies were most concerned about, and what was making their lives harder than necessary. What I discovered horrified me: reams and reams and of health and nutrition misinformation, sometimes given out in good faith but often not, influencing people’s decisions about how to care for and feed themselves and their children in ways that not only don’t help, but can be dangerous.
I launched Well. Done. to counteract the harm that online health misinformation does to everyone (not just people living with allergies), and to highlight the ways in which various industries benefit from our confusion. Expect a mix of personal essays, deep dives into fads into and trends and helpful how-tos, like the best ways to find out if you have a food intolerance (it’s never a blood, hair or resonance test - read my article in the Guardian to find out why), plus a few of the easiest and most useful recipes I’ve developed in my time as a cookbook author. Right now, it’s completely free to subscribe.
