In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Sarah Myhill, a true pioneer in ecological and nutritional medicine, whose work has challenged conventional thinking for over four decades.

Dr Myhill qualified from the Middlesex Hospital Medical School in 1981, spending 20 years as an NHS GP before moving into independent practice with a special interest in ME/CFS and chronic fatigue. She is internationally recognised for her groundbreaking work on mitochondrial dysfunction and its role in chronic disease, co-authoring some of the earliest and most cited scientific papers in this field.

She describes her mission simply and powerfully:

“I like to give people the Rules of the Game and the Tools of the Trade to restore fitness and vitality.”

 Why this conversation matters

  • We explore mitochondria, energy production, and chronic illness
  • Why symptom-chasing fails without understanding root causes
  • How patients can become active participants in their own recovery
  • The principles of Ecological Medicine and truly sustainable healthcare

 Dr Myhill is also the author of multiple award-winning books, including:

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – It’s Mitochondria, Not Hypochondria (BMA Highly Commended)
  • Sustainable Medicine
  • Ecological Medicine – The Antidote to Big Pharma and Fast Foods
  • The Energy Equation – From the Naked Ape to the Knackered Ape

She is:

  • Clinical Director of the College of Naturopathic Medicine
  • Medical Director of the UK Medical Freedom Alliance
  • Patron of the Association of Naturopathic Practitioners
  • Holder of an Honorary Diploma in Naturopathic Medicine (2022)

With over 23 million visits to her website, countless lectures to clinicians, and major media appearances, Dr Myhill has remained a consistent, evidence-driven advocate for patient empowerment and metabolic health.

🎧 Episode 74 is a must-listen for anyone interested in energy, chronic disease, ME/CFS, metabolic health, or the future of medicine.
