About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Losing weight is not your life's purpose.

Do carbs make you fat?

Could the keto diet cure mental health disorders?

Are eggs as bad for you as smoking?

No, no and absolutely not. It's all what Dr Joshua Wolrich defines as 'nutribollocks', and he is on a mission to set the record straight.

As an NHS doctor with personal experience of how damaging diets can be, he believes every one of us deserves to have a happy, healthy relationship with food and with our bodies. His message is clear: we need to fight weight stigma, call out the lies of diet culture and give ourselves permission to eat all foods.

Food Isn't Medicine wades through nutritional science (both good and bad) to demystify the common diet myths that many of us believe without questioning. If you have ever wondered whether you should stop eating sugar, try fasting, juicing or 'alkaline water', or struggled through diet after diet (none of which seem to work), this book will be a powerful wake-up call. Drawing on the latest research and delivered with a dose of humour, it not only liberates us from the destructive belief that weight defines health but also explains how to spot the misinformation we are bombarded with every day.

Dr Joshua Wolrich will empower you to escape the diet trap and call out the bad health advice for what it really is: complete nutribollocks.

As an eating disorder survivor I found reading (listening) to this book very emotional. What I loved the most is that it is written in a very clear, caring way - none patronising, easy to comprehend language even if biology wasn't your subject of choice. I have gotten through it in one day as it was so eye opening and hard to stop listening to. Dr Wolrich is both serious and funny, he has taken great care to explain different diet concepts from many different perspectives allowing you to make up your own mind but also staying non biased and evidence based - great way to educate us to make food choices from the place of freedom, rather than fear. I'd highly recommend to anyone confused about diet culture and the many voices it tries to sell us unnecessary things/beliefs.

Lifesaving & a little rebellion with every bite!

As someone with many health issues, I have been lost in a confusing and scary world of nutrib*llocks for years. I now feel so much calmer. I will be reccomending this book to everyone I know.

A Game Changer

A nuanced and poised description of the types of misinformation and diets, with a touch on the socio-economic and complexities of “healthy”, including a background into nutrition. This had the effect of a warm cuddle for the heart and belly, to accept my body size, and start mending my relationship with food.
Great listen and easy to digest (pun intended).

Liberating and insightful

What can I say!? As an avid follower of fad diets, silly cleanses and basically all of the nutribollocks to lose weight this book just really makes sense. Written in an educational and understandable way, that really opened my eyes to the cherry picking of data and marketing in the diet industry to make money!! Thanks Dr Joshua!

Excellent Read/Listen
