What people say about PHC
“Support from the PHC has helped me achieve my goal of offering patients lifestyle changes as an alternative to lifelong medication.”
Dr David Unwin
NHS GP · Norwood Surgery, Southport
“Complete remission of type two diabetes, obliteration of acid reflux and normalisation of non-diabetic blood sugar have all been achieved by my patients using the information provided by PHC.”
Dr Katharine Morrison
NHS GP · Ballochmyle Medical Group, Scotland
“PHC is spearheading a movement promoting a 'food-rather-than-pills' approach that is evidence-informed and makes instinctive sense for patients and clinicians alike.”
Dr Vipan Bhardwaj
