Hi, let me introduce myself…

My name is John Samuel Cook and I have practised as a family medical practitioner for over forty years.

I have a strong interest in General Practice Research, with a main focus on Functional Medicine. My interests include understanding the genomic expression of individuals, and the epigenetic effect of nutrition and lifestyle on that genetic expression. To pursue this way of thinking, I have adopted the biochemical approach to diseases and consider most diseases that I see to be the result of western lifestyle choices.

Because my understanding of disease is based on oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, my approach is upstream-focused – on the fundamentals around energy production and waste management.

I hope you enjoy reading my blogs and benefit from doing so.
