The Metabolic Health Guide is an information resource suitable for all adults. It was created by Dr Campbell Murdoch, a NHS GP in the UK with a special interest in metabolic health. It is a non-commercial resource, because useful and reliable health information should be available to everyone. The guide must not be considered medical advice. You must speak with your own doctor if you have any healthcare needs or concerns.
