Part of my postdoc was on Olive 🫒 Oil’s health giving properties so I’d happily collaborate - who wants to sponsor our work?
@cathedralcity.bsky.social ?
I feel cheese has a great benefit vs risk ratio
- indeed should we be able to prescribe cheese in preference to MAOIs for mood disorders - are there head to head clinical trials? Although blinding a Gorgonzola vs Phenelzine trial would be a challenge

Hero of mine, Ealing boy. Went to my eldest school. (More accurately Acton) Very jealous
My commitment to equity:
Through education & proactive patient care, I aim to foster a culture of awareness & equity in pain management. By promoting regular patient reviews, we can help close the gender pain gap & provide compassionate, unbiased care.

Gender inequalities exist in pain management arising from unconscious biases amongst health care professionals - the ‘gender pain gap’
