For most people, access to nutritional supplements, natural health products and preventative health approaches feels like a normal part of everyday life.

But these freedoms cannot be taken for granted.

Around the world, regulatory decisions are increasingly shaping what information can be shared, what products remain available, and how individuals can make informed choices about their own health.

At ANH International, we've spent more than two decades monitoring these developments, engaging with policymakers, challenging disproportionate restrictions and defending the principle that informed adults should have the freedom to make choices about their health.

This work often happens behind the scenes.

It doesn't always make headlines.

But it matters.

Every policy submission, every scientific review and every challenge to unnecessary restrictions is made possible by people who believe health freedom deserves an independent voice.

If you believe individuals should retain the right to make informed decisions about their own health and wellbeing, please consider supporting our work.

Here's a thought worth sitting with:

When it comes to our cars, we all understand the value of regular servicing. We don't wait for the engine to fail. We maintain it — because we know that's cheaper, smarter, and safer in the long run.

So why don't we treat our bodies the same way?

Our healthcare system, for all its incredible achievements, is fundamentally reactive. It waits for you to get sick, then tries to fix the problem. The WHO itself will tell you that most chronic diseases — the ones filling our hospitals and overwhelming our GPs — are predominantly preventable.

There's no "no-claims bonus" for looking after yourself. No real incentive built into the system to keep you healthy before things go wrong.

Until we shift from a disease-management model to one that genuinely creates health, we'll keep seeing the same conditions — heart disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer — threatening to collapse the system entirely. Join Michelle and Rob: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0f1MTiN91I

Lab-made milk is coming to your supermarket. But what exactly is in it? 👇

A new study just found 93 unidentified fungal metabolites and 263 fungal proteins in "precision fermented" synthetic milk — compounds that have never been part of the human diet. Ever.

The researchers also found it's nutritionally different from real cow's milk in significant ways.

The science isn't saying don't innovate. It's saying: test it properly first.

As a consumer, you deserve to know what you're drinking. Share this if you agree. 🐄🔬

From founding ANH to challenging the foundations of modern healthcare, Rob Verkerk PhD has spent decades asking one essential question:

Why are we managing disease instead of creating health?

In a powerful conversation with Michelle Hammond on Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science, Rob explores how chronic illness, ecological decline, nutrition, and resilience are deeply interconnected — and why working with nature may be the key to reversing today’s health crisis.

A timely discussion on systems thinking, prevention, and reclaiming human wellbeing from the ground up.

⚠️ TWO MAJOR BATTLES are happening right now over gene-edited food — and most people don't know about either.
In the EU: The European Parliament votes on 18 May on new rules that would remove gene-edited plants from existing GMO protections. If passed, these foods could reach your plate with no labelling and no requirement to tell you what you're eating. A new survey found 80% of EU citizens oppose patents on living organisms like these crops — but the agri-biotech lobby is pushing hard.

In the UK: A landmark High Court ruling has found that the government's own gene-editing deregulation was built on flawed legal advice. The case — brought by environmental group Beyond GM alongside organic farmers and consumers — challenged rules that removed mandatory safety testing, traceability, and labelling for precision-bred crops.

The court found the farming minister was given incorrect advice about his legal powers. The consequences are now being considered.

Why does this matter to you?

✅ You have a right to know what's in your food
✅ Organic and non-GM farmers need protection from contamination
✅ Once these organisms are in the environment, they cannot be recalled

Share this. Talk about it. Contact your MP or MEP. The decisions being made right now will shape what's on our plates for generations. 🌾

Longevity without purpose is not healthy ageing.

Research increasingly shows that people with a strong sense of meaning and direction, as they age, experience:
• Better mental health
• Greater resilience
• Lower dementia risk
• Improved mobility
• Higher quality of life in later years

Yet society still treats ageing largely as a medical problem rather than a human one.

We need a shift:
From passive retirement ➝ active contribution
From disease management ➝ prevention
From isolation ➝ connection
From lifespan ➝ healthspan + purpose

A powerful new piece from ANH International explores why purpose may be one of the missing foundations of healthy longevity.

🚨 Our animals are quietly becoming biotech experiments.

Longevity drugs for dogs.
Self-amplifying RNA vaccines in livestock.
Lab-grown meat in pet food.
AI-driven genomic surveillance under “One Health.”

Sound dystopian yet?

The same industrial systems driving obesity, cancer and chronic disease in humans are now reshaping animal health — while Big Pharma positions pets as the next trillion-dollar medical market.

The question isn’t just what’s happening to animals.

It’s what happens when veterinary medicine becomes the testing ground for the future of human healthcare.

⚠️ They want to strip your supplements down to almost nothing.

The EU is moving to slash maximum permitted levels of nutrients in dietary supplements — and millions of high-strength products could disappear from shelves altogether.

Under the guise of "harmonisation," supplements for immune health, energy, stress support and healthy ageing would be reformulated into nutritional window dressing. This isn't consumer protection — it's the erosion of health freedom.

And UK consumers aren't safe either. The current government imports EU legislation lock, stock and barrel.

At a time when chronic illness is soaring and healthcare systems are buckling, restricting access to safe, therapeutic-level supplements pushes us further from preventive care — not closer.

If you live in the EU — or care about the right to choose your own health support — add your voice before it's too late.

Silence today could mean empty shelves tomorrow.

Think your daytime nap is harmless? New research suggests that long, frequent naps—especially in the morning—could be a warning sign of underlying health issues in older adults. Researchers found that every extra hour spent napping was linked to a higher risk of early death, with excessive daytime sleep potentially associated with problems such as heart disease, disrupted sleep, or neurodegeneration.

An occasional power nap is unlikely to be a concern, but regularly needing long daytime sleeps may be worth paying attention to. If persistent fatigue or excessive napping has become part of your routine, consider speaking with an integrative health professional to explore what your body may be trying to tell you.
