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.

Us fat people are lucky to have Joshua, who sees past the fat and diet culture and actually sees us.

Dr Joshua Wolrich routinely does an incredible job of sorting fact from toxic fiction. A must-read for those wanting to unlearn the toxic ideologies and beliefs we have been taught about ourselves by the diet industry!

Josh's desire to educate others stands upon a foundation of compassion that we might experience more freedom and take our opportunity to question the damaging messages we so easily absorb.

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!

Josh is a beacon of truth in a sea of misinformation when it comes to nutrition and wellness. He approaches every topic with evidence, rationality and empathy and his presence on the internet is much needed.

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.

If you're looking for no-nonsense health advice that's actually helpful, you can always count on Dr Joshua to cut through the weight, health and nutrition BS.

Josh's position as an NHS Surgical Doctor in a landscape of Influencers spouting dietary misinformation has thousands flocking to his page to hear what he has to say.
