Is this for you?
- You've got the basics and now you want the why behind them.
- One area is bothering you more than the rest, and you'd like to really get to grips with it.
- You like your information straight, with the jargon translated.
- You want ideas you can try this week, not just theory.

Good questions
What format are the guides?
Every Academy guide is a PDF ebook. Workbooks and printables are PDFs too, laid out so you can fill them in or print them.
How does the download work?
It's an instant digital download. Straight after checkout you'll get an email with your download link, and you'll find it on your order page too. No waiting in for the postman.
What's the best way to read them?
They're designed to be read on a tablet, where the pages look their best. A laptop or computer works well too, or you can print them.
Can I print them?
Yes. Print the whole thing, or just the trackers and checklists you want on the fridge.
Is this medical advice?
No. Our guides give you general information and practical tools, not a diagnosis or treatment. Please talk to your GP or a healthcare professional about your own symptoms, and before you start, stop or change any treatment or supplement.
Knowledge is power. Especially at 3am.
Read it on the sofa, scribble on the printouts, take your notes to your GP. However you use it, it's yours.
