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.

Outstanding

This book combined with working with a dietitian for my ED has been nothing short of life-changing. I started this book before I was able to access a dietitian and it seriously helped me begin the process of dismantling unhealthy beliefs around food, weight, & health. Me and my dietitian would talk about the chapters once I finally got in. I like his sass too - the delivery made it easy to listen to the more science-based parts. Overall this was a profound book for my and my ED recovery journey. I hope more and more people read it.

Straightforward take on health and nutrition BS

This wasn’t a daunting exhaustive book I got lost in; but instead a quick listen I’ll be playing again.

That 1 weird trick!

As a Nutritionist, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading more about misinformation and pseudoscience regarding food and weight loss, and how neither will cure your disease or help you live forever. It’s very easy to read/listen and the language used is not medical or technical even though the author does cite his sources and is an MD. Definitely recommend - great introductory to all things diet culture bullshit. Or Nutribollocks.

A book that changed my life

This is an amazing book and it should be read by everyone. I thought I had quite balanced view of food and weight but there was SO much in here that I needed to hear. Literally needed to hear for my health. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Sanity in a confused and misled world

Listening to this book was like repeatedly taking a deep breath of fresh air after being confined in a chaotic, dirty cesspool over many years. I’m talking about listening to the so-called expert advice (often completely in contradiction one to the other, based on the latest fad) that makes us afraid of anything and everything to do with food while completely ignoring the carnage that advice causes not just to our psyches but yes to our physical bodies as well. Bravo Dr W. and,by the way, his narration is very pleasing to the ear.

Brilliant

Loved this book, everybody should read it, as someone dealing with both chronic disease and little extra weight it's was really eye opening, special about following your own gut and don't let anyone ( friends/family/stranger ) tell you what to eat or not

Trainers take note!

I’ve been a personal trainer for 24 years training people at all levels of performance. This incredible book should be required reading for all personal trainers…many of whom stray from their lanes with regards to nutritional information being given to their clients. Thank you Doc Wolrich.

Wow!!

My personal trainer talked about this book a little bit so I thought I would check it out. This book has such good information! Bought the hard copy today so I can read it as well. Husband and daughter are now interested and reading it after me.
