I used to think bread baking was “a weekend hobby for other people.” Turns out: it’s one of the simplest, most satisfying healthy habits you can stack at home — once you know a few key moves (and a couple common mistakes to avoid).
In our latest episode of The Healthy Bit, I share my foolproof 2-loaf home bread recipe plus the tips that make the difference between a light, golden loaf… and a dense brick.
A few highlights:
✅ Why your dough feels sticky at first (and why adding loads of flour backfires)
✅ The easy “steam hack” that gives you a better rise + crust in a normal home oven
✅ How to add wholemeal without ending up with dry, heavy bread
✅ Storage that actually works (yes — slice + freeze)
If you want the PDF recipe + tips, comment BREAD and I’ll send it over.
And for the full conversation (plus more practical healthy swaps you can actually stick to), listen here 🎧

💯 it’s just not as chill as bitcoin. Before I just stacked sats and didn’t really worry about it but now with these treasury companies I feel more like I’m hooked in and need to keep up with what’s going on etc and it’s too much.
I mean I’m not going to do anything different and I’m sure long term my pension will be lovely but it’s not really my vibe. Anyway. Thank goodness for cold storage sats

Most men don’t choose the dad bod.
It arrives slowly — one skipped workout, one office day, one takeaway, one stiff back at a time.
But here’s the thing nobody says out loud:
The dad bod isn’t inevitable.
It’s just a signal.
A signal that the modern lifestyle (sit, drive, stare, slump, snack, repeat) is completely at odds with how a human body is meant to function.
On the latest episode of The Healthy Bit, Hayley and I got into what really drives those changes in your 30s, 40s, and 50s… and why most of it is reversible.
A few big points:
• Tight backs and necks aren’t “age” — they’re years of poor movement patterns
• Recovery gets worse when hydration and protein are low
• Weak upper-back and stabiliser muscles create that constant “tight” feeling
• Ultra-processed food accelerates all of it
• Strength work + real food can turn things around shockingly fast
And because I’m a chef, of course we talked pans.
Here’s my honest take:
If your pan is rubbish, your food will be rubbish.
And if your food is rubbish, your health will follow.
A heavy cast iron or stainless steel pan is genuinely a health tool.
You cook better, you eat better, you rely less on the stuff that wrecks your energy and cravings.
I even broke down the full method for a proper steak — including the optional butter-basting finish with garlic and thyme. High protein, satisfying, and the opposite of the sad low-fat nonsense we all got sold for years.
You don’t need a 30-day shred, or a detox, or a colour-coded spreadsheet.
You just need to stack small habits:
cook from scratch, eat real protein, move your body, lift something heavy, prioritise sleep, repeat.
The dad bod isn’t a life sentence.
It’s a nudge. And it’s absolutely fixable.

Just six spots left for our December Feast
We’re nearly full for what promises to be a spectacular end-of-year menu, complete with a proper centrepiece—venison Wellington with truffled cauliflower and all the festive trimmings.
Sadly, no bonus November date (turns out I should check the family diary before announcing extra evenings). But onwards and upwards...
We’ve now opened bookings for 2026, starting with a February feast on the 6th and 7th. Yes, it sounds far away, but the good ones always book fast. No menu yet—I like to let the ingredients and inspiration lead—but I am hoping for a Japanese hibachi grill for Christmas (if you’re reading this, Jess). Expect smoky, aromatic skewers, grilled moments before they land on your plate.
If you fancy joining us in Nailsworth, head to the website to book. Come hungry.

I’ve been learning a lot recently about menopause — partly through our latest Healthy Bit episode, and partly because I know it’s something my partner will experience one day, and I want to understand how best to support her.
It’s a phase of life that still doesn’t get talked about enough. From what I’ve learned through chatting with Hayley, it’s not just about the physical symptoms — it’s about how exercise, nutrition, and emotional support all come together to help women feel more like themselves during a huge period of change.
We talked about the impact on bone and muscle health, sleep, and energy, and how even small, consistent things — a walk, a proper meal, being patient — can make a real difference.
I’ve shared a simple recipe too: a Mediterranean fish (or bean) stew that’s full of protein, fibre, and good fats — the kind of food that nourishes without being complicated.
For me, this episode was a chance to listen more and think about what support really looks like — not just through food, but in understanding and empathy.
If you’re curious too, have a listen:

This week on The Healthy Bit, we talked about how strong foundations start early — in movement, mindset, and nutrition.
For kids (and adults), strength isn’t just built in the gym — it’s built in the kitchen. Real protein. Real fats. Real food.
No seed oils, no shortcuts. Just honest fuel for growing bodies and focused minds.
From homemade fish fingers to Greek yogurt pancakes and simple ways to sneak in more quality protein, this episode is about building resilient humans — one meal at a time.

Feast with Henry Herbert | October Newsletter
Jazz, Dahlias and a Venison Wellington
Hello fine people,
After a whirlwind few weeks, I’ve just about caught my breath (and found the bottom of the washing-up pile). We’ve had some absolutely cracking feasts lately. Our biggest one yet at The Mill, with 75 guests and live jazz to boot. There was something really special about that evening: the hum of the band, the flicker of candles, the clatter of cutlery, and the buzz of a room full of well-fed and slightly tipsy people. That’s the good stuff.
We also held two lovely evenings back at our home base in Nailsworth. Smaller in size but mighty in spirit (and flavour), these were some of the feasts I’ve been most proud of. Food that just came together beautifully, from first bite to final pudding. A huge shout out to Jess, whose dahlias were in their full, outrageous glory. Honestly, the flowers were so good they nearly stole the show. Nearly.
Now, we’re taking a little break from feasting. Partly because Christmas is looming and things are already getting busy, and partly because we’ve got some celebrating of our own to do. It’s Jess’s birthday and our wedding anniversary coming up, so we’re sneaking in a bit of “us” time before the madness begins again.
Next Up: The Christmas Feast | 5 & 6 December
Back by popular demand (and because I genuinely loved cooking it), the mighty venison Wellington will be making a festive return. Truffled cauliflower and all. This was a bit of a showstopper last year, and I had more than a few requests to bring it back. So, go big or go home, right?
This is your official nudge. If you're making Christmas plans, don’t miss out on what promises to be an epic evening to kick off December. A proper knees-up with great food, candlelight, and full festive joy.
A Whisper of November?
Now, I haven’t entirely run this past Jess (so let’s keep this just between us), but if there’s enough interest, I could be twisted into adding an extra date in November. Maybe the 14th or 15th? I’ll pop a poll on Instagram and see if there’s any appetite. If you’d be keen, do let me know.
We’ll also be putting up dates for 2026 soon. I know, wild. But the spreadsheet demands it.
Thanks, as always, for coming along on this mad, delicious ride with us.
Much love,
Henry (and Jess, chief florist, logistics queen, and voice of reason)

🦴 Bone Health Isn’t Just About Exercise – It’s on Your Plate Too
In our latest @nprofile…ataq episode, Hayley and I dive into bone density—why it matters, how it changes with age, and what you can do about it.
For women especially, post-menopause brings a big shift. But here’s the good news: whether you’re 20 or 60, your food choices today can help protect your bones for years to come.
🍲 Collagen-rich cooking
Making your own stock from leftover bones isn’t just old-fashioned—it’s a nutritional powerhouse. Slow-simmered bone broth extracts collagen and minerals that support joints and bone strength.
🥢 Easy Chicken Ramen with Bone Broth
Stretch a roast chicken into a comforting midweek meal: bone broth base, noodles, greens, and a soft-boiled egg. Nutritious, delicious, and deeply satisfying.
🌱 Everyday nutrition tips for bone health
Vitamin K → leafy greens, eggs, butter
Vitamin D → sunshine, oily fish, supplements in winter
Calcium → yogurt, dairy, fortified plant milks, almonds
💡 Simple swaps:
Butter > margarine (vitamin K boost)
Greek yogurt > sweetened yogurt (protein + calcium)
Almonds > crisps (calcium + healthy fats)
Strong bones aren’t built overnight—they’re the result of small, consistent habits: the meals you cook, the walks you take, the sunlight you catch. Stack them, bit by bit, and your future self will thank you.

Some wonderful dry aged beef from the national trust. 30 days aging and it’s looking amazing.
Going to be serving at the feast on the 12th

Thank you Jeff, that means a lot.
I have been thinking a lot about how you frame the world and trying to put it into context in my own life. I had this realisation that with Bitcoin I can continue to bring value to the world but without having to compromise on the quality of my offering. It was a very reassuring thought.
I felt I should at least try and share this to maybe give others hope.

Bitcoin and the Independent Baker
I started hosting feasts as a way to put my skills as a chef to use and, frankly, to earn a bit of extra money as the cost of living in the UK kept rising. I have always loved cooking great food, setting the table with hand picked flowers from our garden, and creating candlelit evenings that feel both special and welcoming. The feasts have been successful, which has been deeply rewarding. But with that success comes temptation: do more, scale the output, push the concept further.
At the same time, the costs of running these nights keep climbing. I could raise prices, but then the very people in my community who are also squeezed by the cost of living would be priced out. Or I could cut corners to reduce costs, but that would mean compromising on the quality and authenticity of the experience, which is not why I started doing this in the first place. This tension led me to ask: as a small business owner, how do I protect the craft and quality of what I love, while not being eroded by rising costs?
This is where I began to think about Bitcoin. For clarity: when I say fiat, I do not mean the little Italian car. I mean the government issued money we all use every day: pounds, dollars, euros. Fiat money is not backed by anything tangible. It can be created at will, which is why over time its purchasing power falls. Inflation is built into the system. That means for small, craft based businesses like mine, you have to run faster each year just to stay in the same place.
In Jeff Booth’s book The Price of Tomorrow, he describes how our system has relied on ever more debt to keep the economy moving: “It took $185 trillion of debt to produce about $46 trillion of GDP growth over the last twenty years.” The result is that the small baker, farmer, brewer, or feast maker gets caught in the squeeze between rising input costs and customers whose wages do not stretch as far.
Bitcoin changes this frame. If a portion of what my business earns is saved in Bitcoin, it is not constantly leaking value to inflation. In fact, over the long run it has tended to grow in purchasing power. That means I do not have to scale endlessly, or dilute what I offer, just to keep pace. I can stay small and independent by choice, focusing on craft, community, and delivering value.
As Bitcoin Is Venice puts it: “To view Bitcoin solely through the lens of economics … is to miss the forest for the trees,” because the implications touch not just money, but culture, governance, and how capital flows to real work. The authors argue that sound money reallocates reward away from bureaucratic gatekeeping and back toward people who make things well. In spirit, it points toward what could be described as a new age of the craftsman. For me, that real work is a feast where the food is thoughtful, the flowers are from our garden, and the atmosphere is warm and candlelit.
It is worth adding a caveat here. I am not against growth. Many businesses are designed to grow, and that should be celebrated. Expansion creates jobs, opportunities, and innovation. But what Bitcoin makes possible is growth at the natural pace of demand, in line with how much people value what you produce, rather than growth forced by inflationary pressure or rising costs. That distinction matters, especially in fields like food, farming, and craft, where quality and authenticity are at risk when scale is imposed too quickly.
The UK context makes this especially clear. Independent businesses are under pressure. Britain lost around 100 independent breweries in 2024, the fastest recorded decline, and the hospitality sector has been shrinking, with about two net site closures every day in 2025 so far, leaving it 14 percent smaller than in 2019. Independent bakeries and restaurants face the same squeeze: rising costs, thinning margins, and consolidation by large firms with the scale to absorb shocks.
Bitcoin does not remove the need for hard work, good management, and happy customers. But it does reduce the penalty for staying small. It gives me, and other independent craftspeople, the option to protect the fruits of our labour without being forced onto the treadmill of growth for growth’s sake.
In that sense, Bitcoin is not just a financial tool. It offers a way for small businesses to remain small, independent, and excellent, without being swallowed by the logic of scale or the erosion of inflation. It lets a baker bake, a farmer farm, and a feast simply be a feast, and still thrive.
For me, the journey is still unfolding. The feasts began as a way to share what I love, and they will continue in that spirit. My hope is that by pairing the craft of cooking with the principles of sound money, they can remain accessible, joyful, and rooted in quality for years to come.
Thank you to @nprofile…w2ua @nprofile…dpaj Sacha Meyers for two excellent books and much inspiration.

This year has been great for the tomatoes. I have removed loads of leaves to help ripen the tomatoes and alongside a sunny summer it has worked a treat.

On primal you can release your lectures as blog posts or just post on here as a long from note. no limits on nostr which is great.
you will probably get better engagement when you write about bitcoin but also your ones on central banking etc will probably do quite well. I would just start releasing them over time and see how it goes.
seeing as you have already done the work you might get a second wind of value from putting them out there.
also, what really gets the community going is when you send value back. On twitter you can like or share and that is about it. on nostr you can send money for something you like. this can be as low as 1sat but the sentiment is there. I find the more sats I give, the more I receive and also its fun.
