About

I am an independent researcher with a long-standing interest in systems physiology, metabolic health, stress adaptation, resilience, and chronic disease.

Professionally, I have spent more than ten years working within the security sector, primarily in frontline security and loss prevention roles. Responsibilities involving risk assessment, situational awareness, pattern recognition, incident management, and decision-making under pressure have shaped much of my analytical approach.

Alongside this work, I developed a growing interest in human physiology and the biological systems that govern health and disease. What began as a personal effort to understand conflicting ideas surrounding metabolism, nutrition, and chronic illness gradually evolved into a sustained programme of independent study spanning endocrinology, vitamin C biology, mitochondrial function, stress physiology, evolutionary biology, and systems science.

Today, much of that work is focused on synthesising insights from multiple disciplines into coherent physiological models that can help explain modern patterns of metabolic dysfunction and chronic disease.

This research forms the basis of The Power of the Lion, an ongoing book project exploring metabolism, resilience, adaptation, and the biological architecture underlying human health.

This website serves as a platform for articles, research synthesis, project updates, and ongoing exploration of these subjects.

I am particularly interested in the intersection between systems thinking, scientific inquiry, and real-world human health.
