The first NHS doctor to take a public stand against diet culture and empower you to do the same.

*The Sunday Times Bestseller*

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

About the author

Joshua Wolrich

Dr. Joshua Wolrich BSc (Hons) MBBS MRCS, is a full-time NHS surgeon in the United Kingdom with a passion for helping people improve their relationship with food. One of the few men in the industry addressing weight stigma and diet culture, you can find him on Instagram regularly combating spurious nutrition information (nutribollocks) and fad diets, while reminding us that there’s so much more to health than our weight. His podcast, “Cut Through Nutrition,” is a must listen for an in-depth look at the appropriate use of nutrition in medicine.
