In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Tess Laurie of the World Council for Health for a wide-ranging conversation about her journey before and after 2020. Tess reflected on her earlier work in evidence synthesis and guideline development, including work connected to the World Health Organization, and described how the Covid era pushed her from a behind-the-scenes researcher into a far more public role. We talked through her efforts around ivermectin, her concerns about the dismissal of early evidence, the resistance she encountered from major institutions and journals, and the parallel work she and colleagues did examining Yellow Card...

In this episode, I’m joined by Professor Gloria Moss for a wide-ranging conversation on what we see as the suppression of truth inside academia. We dig into the culture of peer review, the incentives created by prestige journals and university hierarchies, and the broader question of whether modern universities still serve open inquiry or have become too captured by funding pressures, ideology, and institutional self-protection. Gloria also shares the thinking behind Truth University and explains why she believes a new model rooted in critical thinking and evidence-based questioning is needed.

We also discuss current flashpoints that, in...

In this solo edition of *The People’s Lawyer Reality Check*, I opened by explaining that my planned guest appearance with Suk Singh did not come together, so I pivoted into one of my “anti-trivia quiz” sessions instead. I walked through a series of questions designed to challenge listeners’ assumptions about pandemics, technology rollouts, medicine, carbon levels, policing, taxation, vehicle clamping, and the legal status of state authority. Throughout, I framed the episode around a broader theme: encouraging people to question official narratives, study the law for themselves, and take more responsibility for their own decisions, rights, and family life.

This week I welcomed returning guest Michelle Davis back to Food for Thought Radio for a wide-ranging conversation on the glymphatic system, cranial work, and the links she sees between nervous-system regulation, birth trauma, head injury, sleep, digestion, and long-term mental wellbeing. We explored how osteopathy and cranial approaches aim to work with the body beyond symptoms alone, why so many chronic issues may have deeper roots, and how trust, self-responsibility, and what Michelle called “brain care” shape the healing journey.

We also discussed practical habits people can use to support mental clarity and resilience: earlier sleep, morn...

In this episode, I sat down with Michelle Davies, a practitioner whose story cuts right to the heart of the battle between personal truth and institutional control. Michelle shared how a long-running challenge over patient testimonials on her website ultimately led to her being struck off as an osteopath, despite there being no patient complaint against her. We explored the pressure practitioners face when regulators, public narratives, and fear-based systems close ranks, and Michelle spoke candidly about the years of internal conflict that led her to stop complying and stand on what she believes to be truth.

In this episode, I continue last week’s theme of “what doctors don’t tell you” by turning the spotlight onto dentistry. Joined by Pauline and Michelangelo, I explore a radically different view of oral health: that teeth are not isolated mechanical objects, but part of a wider living system connected to the body’s energy, organs, stress levels, diet, and overall vitality. We discuss why conventional dentistry may miss those broader connections, and why fear, protocol-driven treatment, and a purely mechanical model can leave people disconnected from their own responsibility and intuition.

From anesthetic-free dental work and the ro...

In this episode, I’m joined by Michelangelo Chiecchi for a wide-ranging conversation about what doctors don’t tell you, and why so much of modern healthcare, in our view, is built around managing symptoms instead of understanding causes. We talk about my long-running critique of the institutional systems of law, education, policing, and medicine, and then go deep into Michelangelo’s philosophy that symptoms are messages rather than enemies. Drawing on his own story of illness, recovery, and decades of teaching, he explains why he moved from talking about “natural health” to “natural life,” and why he believes real healing b...

In this first edition of *The People’s Lawyer Reality Check Show*, I introduce the spirit of the programme: questioning received narratives, resisting political correctness, and using inquiry as a tool to interrupt propaganda and reclaim personal sovereignty. I reflect on my own journey from solicitor to teacher, author, and campaigner, explain how *School – No Place for Children* emerged from my disillusionment with the education system, and outline how my work now centers on workshops, rights education, and challenging what I see as “normalized” rather than truly natural living.

I’m then joined by Eli the Everyman for a wide...
