Summary

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.

Very easy listen. I have the actual book too. I knew a lot of this but chose not to believe. I have a long road of recovery ahead of me, after 30 years of dieting and body dysmorphia, this book has played a part in moving that forward. I will be listening again.

Debunking myths around food, one by one.

As someone who has been on every diet known to man, struggled with huge food guilt and an increasingly poor relationship with food, finding people like Dr Wolrich on instagram has been amazing. This book is certainly not disappointing, i have listened to it and now will buy a copy to share with people. I may even buy an extra copy to accidentally leave on my staffroom table in hopes some of my colleagues who desperately need to read this take up the opportunity to educate themselves and take on a haes approach

Everyone should read/listen to this book!

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have some kind of disordered eating. Dr Wolrich smashes our food myths without making you feel guilty or stupid. This book really does give you freedom from those disordered ideas with grace and humour.

This book is everything I needed to hear after 12+ years of trying every diet under the sun and constantly feeling guilt towards weight gain and personally responsible for my size. As a woman who has been clinically diagnosed with PCOS, weight and fertility issues are a constant concern for me now that I am wanting to start a family. This has led to drastic attempts at weight loss, often cutting out major food groups in an attempt to be a ‘healthy weight’ to become pregnant. I now feel so differently after listening to this book and will now try and repair my relationship with food to prepare me for motherhood. I want my children to feel positive towards food, not with w mother who is constantly ‘dieting’. Thanks, Joshua!

Serial dieter no more!!!
