Publisher's 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.

Best book on food topic so far!!

I have listened to numerous books on anti diet, Intuitive eating, disordered eating etc and I truly enjoyed his concise and to the point information on so many food topics that a feeding us an untruthful narrative. Well done!! I listened to it in 1 day and plan to listen to it again.

Indescribably Important

Food Isn't Medicine is the perfect read for anyone who has ever struggled with their relationship with food, their understanding of what is "good" or "bad" for their health, or their overall conception of their body and appearance based solely on the scale or the image in the mirror. Dr Joshua Wolrich respectively, scientifically, and thoroughly breaks down the nutri-bullocks of weight stigma, fad diets, and the demonization of many foods, opening your mind to a new, unrestricted view on how you fuel your body in the happiest way possible.

Such an informative book!

I cannot emphasize the importance of reading this book! As someone who studying to be a registered dietitian, this book highlights the importance of nutrition and medicine and how it should be required for clinicians to be able to explain the difference between the two. I cannot recommend this book enough!

This is such a needed book!

I have followed Dr. joshua Wolrich for awhile. i was excited to see this book was wrote. This will help me with my recovery from years and years of diets. I was put on one for the first time at 8 years old. We all need to be better and treat fat people of all ages better.

A MUST READ!!

This book is fantastic and should be required reading for everyone, but especially those who have found themselves believing ANYTHING from the world of 'alternative medicine'. I can't believe how many things I once believed to be true, only to find out that the people I had been listening to, literally have no idea how the body or nutrition actually work?!
I loved this book and will recommend it widely.

Excellent

Loved it! Easy listening, informative, digestible, no-nonsense content and narration. Could easily pick up where I left off between listening. Would highly recommend this book for those looking to learn more about debunking myths of food, the affects of diet culture and the shocking reality of weight stigma in healthcare. This is a great first listen for anyone looking to identify, improve or repair their relationship with food, including understanding where those relationships begin to fail and distorted beliefs about food - good or bad. This book is chock full of interesting (and often ridiculous!) studies - made understandable and relatable by the author and narrator. Would highly recommend. Incredible care, thoughtfulness and personality are woven through these pages. Enjoy!
