About Myth Free Health
Health information is everywhere, but much of it is confusing, out of date or simply wrong. I started Myth Free Health to change that: to explain health in plain, clear language that anyone can understand, without changing what the science actually says. It’s free, and it’s for everyone, wherever you live.
Who writes it
I’m Dr Nandan Jha, a GP (family doctor) working in the UK. I hold Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) and of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine (MRCEM). I have a special interest in skin conditions and diabetes.
Outside medicine, I love being outdoors. I run marathons, I’m training for a half Ironman, and I enjoy supporting charity work.
How I write each page
- Every fact comes with a source, listed at the bottom of the page.
- I check major guidance from the World Health Organization, NICE (UK), and European, American and Indian guidelines, and look at the latest research reviews.
- I explain things simply, but I don’t change the meaning of the evidence.
- Where there’s more than one option, I set out the pros and cons so you can decide for yourself.
