What to expect
Cut through diet myths, nutrition misinformation and wellness trends with the empowering, evidence-based guide from NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich.
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.
In Food Isn't Medicine, NHS doctor and nutritionist Joshua Wolrich looks to set the record straight on the misinformation surrounding nutrition, diet, weight, and health. Drawing on the latest nutritional science to cut through what he calls 'nutribollocks', Joshua unravels the false beliefs that too often inform how we eat.
With candour and compassion, Joshua cuts through the confusion surrounding healthy eating, debunks persistent food myths and challenges one of the biggest misconceptions of all: that body weight alone determines 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.
It's time to leave the nutribollocks behind and discover what the science really says about food, nutrition and health.

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.

This book is exactly what we need right now. In a world where misinformation is spread easily online, it's brilliant to have a knowledgeable doctor like Josh cut through the scaremongering and diet culture that we see every day. It's definitely a must have!

As a physician I am so appreciative of Dr Wolrich. He is changing lives and the way we practice medicine, one "nutribollock" debunk at a time.
