Does sugar cause type 2 diabetes?
Are vegan diets always healthier?
Is weight the main driver of our health?

No, no and absolutely not - NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich is on a mission to set the record straight.

In Food Isn't Medicine, he draws on the latest nutritional science to cut through what he calls 'nutribollocks', unravelling the false beliefs that too often inform how we eat. With candour and compassion, he debunks damaging food myths and dismantles the most pervasive of them all: the myth that your weight defines your health.

If you have ever considered intermittent fasting, avoided artificial sweeteners, dairy or carbs for 'health' reasons, or struggled through diet after diet wondering why nothing seems to work, this book will be a powerful wake-up call.

'Joshua brings a much-needed dose of reality - calling out the nonsense, helping you steer away from the empty promises of fad diets and giving you the tools to once again have a healthy relationship with food, your body and life' Dr Tim Crowe

Reviews
A voice of reason in a field of fake news. Honesty, integrity and compassion shine through everything he writes. The only medical doctor I've ever allowed on my timeline. * Megan Crabbe (@bodyposipanda) *
Us fat people are lucky to have Joshua, who sees past the fat and diet culture and actually sees us. * Sofie Hagen (@sofiehagendk) *
Dr Joshua Wolrich routinely does an incredible job of sorting fact from toxic fiction. A must-read for those wanting to unlearn the toxic ideologies and beliefs we have been taught about ourselves by the diet industry! * Stephanie Yeboah (@stephanieyeboah) *
Josh's desire to educate others stands upon a foundation of compassion that we might experience more freedom and take our opportunity to question the damaging messages we so easily absorb. * Anna Mathur (@annamathur) *
It's refreshing knowing there's a doctor out there fighting to break down a lot of the shame-driven decisions we make, and that food holds no moral value over us. * Sarah Nicole Landry (@thebirdspapaya) *
