The Wild Woman 5th to 8th june

Why look beyond a free NHS health check?

It’s a fair question.

After 32 years inside the NHS—combined with over a decade in private practice and extensive training in integrative medicine—David is uniquely placed to answer it.

Because here’s the truth:

Our current healthcare model isn’t keeping us healthy.

Yes, we’re living longer—around 79 for men and 82 for women—but we’re not living well.

The average UK man spends over 16 years in poor health. That’s more than 20% of life diminished.

And it’s getting worse.

Despite huge medical advances—fewer smokers, better emergency care, life-saving drugs—chronic illness is exploding:

• Diabetes has surged from 300,000 cases in 1985 to nearly 5 million today

• Obesity has tripled—only around 35% of UK adults are now a healthy weight

• Depression rates have risen sixfold, especially in younger people

• Autoimmune diseases now affect over 1 in 10 people

• Fatty liver disease impacts 1 in 3 adults—and even children

So what’s going wrong?

We’re looking in the wrong places.

Standard health checks often focus on limited markers—like cholesterol—while missing deeper drivers of disease such as:

• Insulin resistance

• Inflammation

• Nutrient deficiencies

• Chronic stress

Even when tests are done, they’re rarely interpreted in a way that truly reflects your health.

And the solutions?

Too often, they begin and end with prescriptions—while powerful tools like nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation are overlooked or dismissed.

But real health is more complex than that.

We’re bombarded with conflicting advice. One-size-fits-all doesn’t work. What your body needs is individualised, intelligent guidance.

That’s where David comes in.

Blending decades of clinical experience with cutting-edge functional medicine, nutrition expertise, and deep knowledge of supplements, he acts as your personal guide through the noise—helping you understand your body, your risks, and your path to lasting vitality.

This isn’t about treating illness.

It’s about creating health.
