    When Doing the Right Things as a Practitioner Don't Deliver the Results You Expected

    Welcome, and thank you for listening. I’m Andrew Wren, founder of Conella, and in this episode I want to talk about something that many practitioners experience quietly, but rarely say out loud. Doing the right things, applying good training, using sound reasoning, and still not getting the outcome you expected. Most practitioners don’t struggle because they lack knowledge. They struggle because, despite acting in good faith, the tools they relied on didn’t perform in the way they were led to believe they would. You trained properly. You learned how to assess a client, recognise patterns, and build nutritional recommendations based on physiology rather than guesswork. So when a recommendation doesn’t land, why does the responsibility so often fall entirely on the practitioner? Why is it assumed that something was done wrong, rather than questioning the materials themselves? In this episode, we’re going to explore why knowledge is rarely the missing piece. Evaluation is. We’ll look at how supplement formulation, nutrient form, blending strategies, and regulatory frameworks quietly shape outcomes in practice. We’ll use familiar examples, including minerals like magnesium, to show how compliant, widely used products can behave very differently in the body. This is not about criticising brands or making claims. It’s about developing the professional confidence to question, assess, and understand the tools you use every day. If you’ve ever felt that uneasy gap between what should have worked on paper and what happened in practice, this conversation is for you. Let’s get started.

    Magnesium Everywhere — Why Results Are Not Always Clear

    Magnesium is one of the most widely used food supplements across the UK and Europe. It’s recommended routinely, taken daily by millions, and often viewed as a simple, sensible way to support normal physiology. Yet a common experience keeps emerging in both practice and everyday use: many people try magnesium and notice little or no benefit. In this episode of the Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub, we explore Why Widespread Use Does Not Guarantee Widespread Benefit. Rather than questioning magnesium’s importance, this discussion looks more closely at why outcomes can vary so widely, even when recommendations are appropriate and intentions are sound. We examine how individual terrain, dietary background, digestive handling, stress load, and formulation choice all influence how magnesium is absorbed and utilised. Drawing on published human research, the episode explains why different magnesium forms behave very differently under digestive conditions, and why the utilisation gap between magnesium citrate and magnesium oxide is more pronounced than the difference typically observed between magnesium glycinate and oxide. We also unpack why elemental magnesium figures alone can be misleading, how chemistry and solubility shape real-world outcomes, and why label terminology does not always reflect how a product behaves in the body. This is a practitioner-informed, biologically grounded conversation about context, not correction, and about why lack of response often reflects complexity rather than failure. If you’re interested in a clearer way of interpreting supplement response, formulation differences, and real-world nutritional outcomes, this episode offers a valuable framework for understanding magnesium beyond the label.

    When Biochemistry Isn’t Enough Rethinking persistent cases through terrain, energy and adaptive capacity

    In clinical practice, many practitioners encounter a familiar challenge: clients with long-standing, low-grade symptoms who appear to be doing everything “right”, yet progress remains limited, unstable or short lived. The biochemistry makes sense, compliance is good, and interventions are carefully chosen — but results plateau. In this episode, we explore why deeper biochemical investigation does not always provide the missing answer, and why some cases may require a broader interpretive lens. Drawing on a terrain-based perspective, the discussion considers how hydration status, metabolic flow, energetic organisation and long-term adaptive capacity shape a system’s ability to respond to nutritional input. Rather than dismissing biochemistry, this episode reframes it — placing nutrients within the wider context of cellular efficiency and biological environment. We examine why reduced resilience, poor recovery, sensitivity to intervention and limited tolerance for change may signal energetic strain rather than simple deficiency. Designed for naturopathic students and experienced practitioners alike, this conversation invites a subtle but important shift in case history taking and clinical reasoning. When biochemistry alone is not enough, understanding terrain, energy and coherence may help explain why some cases struggle to stabilise — and how more durable change can be supported over time. Educational content only. No protocols or treatment claims are discussed.

    The Keys to Healthy Ageing: Light, Energy & Nutrition

    Welcome to the Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub podcast, where we explore the deeper systems that shape vitality, resilience, and long-term health. Today, we unpack a topic that many of us think we understand, yet few have fully questioned: why does ageing affect people so differently, even when they follow similar diets and lifestyle guidance? In this episode, The Keys to Healthy Ageing: Light, Energy & Nutrition, we take a step beyond calories and isolated nutrients to look at ageing from the perspective of how the body manages energy over time. Rather than viewing ageing as an inevitable decline, we explore it as an adaptive process shaped by long-term nutritional status, light exposure, hydration, and the energetic terrain in which cells operate. We’ll talk about mitochondria not just as power producers, but as energy managers, and how their efficiency is influenced by environmental signals and nutrient availability. You’ll hear why natural light — and nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, B-vitamins, choline, and trace minerals — play a role in cellular energy, day-to-day function, and how gracefully the body adapts over the years. If you’ve ever wondered why “recharging your batteries” feels real, or why some people age more slowly than others despite doing the “right things,” this episode will offer a fresh, biologically grounded perspective that’s both reassuring and clinically insightful. So let’s dive in and explore how light, energy, and nutrition are truly connected.

    Memory, Nutrition, and the Daily Multivitamin

    Can a daily multivitamin really support memory and long-term cognitive health? In this episode, we explore how everyday nutrition influences normal brain function, with a particular focus on memory, concentration, and mental performance. Rather than chasing nutritional trends or headline-grabbing ingredients, we take a practical look at consistency, nutrient quality, and the realities of modern diets. You’ll learn why many people may struggle to meet their micronutrient needs through food alone, how specific vitamins and minerals are authorised to contribute to normal psychological function, and why the form and bioavailability of nutrients matter just as much as the headline amounts on a label. This discussion is educational in nature and does not claim to prevent, treat, or cure any disease. Instead, it looks at how a well-formulated daily multivitamin can play a supportive role in maintaining normal cognitive function as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Ideal listening for anyone interested in evidence-informed nutrition, supplement quality, and simple, sustainable approaches to long-term wellbeing.

    Absorbed or Wasted? Rethinking Supplement Effectiveness

    We often think about nutrition in terms of ingredients, nutrients, and biochemical pathways. But a more fundamental question is increasingly coming into focus: not simply what we consume, but whether the body can actually absorb, recognise, and use what we give it. In this episode of the Electromagnetic Nutritional Hub podcast, we explore why so many people take the “right” supplements and make sensible dietary choices, yet experience little noticeable benefit. In many cases, the issue is not the nutrient itself, but its quality, chemical form, intake level, and biological compatibility. Two products may look identical on a label, yet behave very differently once inside the body. One may support normal cellular processes such as energy production and enzyme activity, while the other may pass through with minimal effect. In living systems, this distinction matters. Rather than treating supplementation as a checklist of ingredients, this discussion looks at nutrition through a terrain-based lens, where absorption, intracellular availability, and integration into the body’s wider metabolic systems determine real effectiveness. This episode is not about trends or quick fixes. It’s an invitation to rethink nutritional choices with greater intelligence and intention, focusing on what the body can genuinely use rather than what simply looks convincing on paper.

    The Work That Wouldn’t Disappear A compliant re-examination of nutritional science, regulation, and the legacy of Lawrence Plaskett.

    Welcome to this episode. Today’s conversation is about a body of work that many practitioners have heard of, some have studied quietly, and very few have seen discussed openly. Not because it lacks scientific depth, but because it sits at the intersection of nutrition, cancer, and regulation. At the centre of this story is Lawrence Plaskett, a rigorous thinker whose work raised important questions about nutrition, cellular systems, and human physiology, and who also left behind some hard lessons about professional boundaries and the law. This episode is not about treatment or claims. It is about education, context, and how a once controversial chapter in nutritional science is now being carefully and responsibly reframed for modern practitioners. If you work with clients affected by cancer, or if you’ve ever wondered how to discuss nutrition in this area without crossing legal or ethical lines, this story matters. Let’s begin.

    Why the “Right” Supplement Often Doesn’t Work

    You can take the “right” supplement every day… and still feel no different.  Not because nutrients don’t matter, but because what’s on the label isn’t always what your body can actually use. In today’s episode, we explore why supplement quality, chemical form, and biological compatibility determine whether a nutrient supports your cells or simply passes straight through. This isn’t about trends or marketing claims, it’s about what your body can recognise, absorb, and turn into real function. If you’ve ever wondered why doing the right thing hasn’t delivered the results you expected, this conversation may change how you look at supplementation for good.
