Latest articles
Start with a question, not a ready-made answer
Each article organizes the basics and leads to a resource where the topic is developed in full context.
Prebiotics and probiotics: Similar words, different roles

The gut brain axis: Why one fashionable phrase cannot explain the mechanism
The gut brain axis involves the digestive system, nervous system, hormones, microbial metabolites and immune responses.

Food, timing, medicines and preparation can affect testing conditions. One glucose result does not describe the whole metabolic picture.
TSH and FT4: Two abbreviations that should not be separated
TSH and FT4 relate to thyroid function but answer different questions. Their meaning depends on symptoms and the wider clinical context.

How to read a supplement label without the confusion
A supplement label can look precise and still leave important questions unanswered. Learn what to check before choosing a product.
Ferritin and iron: Why one result does not show the full picture
