“The most powerful tool we have to transform our health isn’t a high-tech prescription or the latest online wellness trend. It’s the food on our plate.”

That’s the message at the heart of my brand-new book, What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Food, available now in audiobook and hardback.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing an exclusive preview from the audiobook: an extract from the chapter on heart health, exploring how food can help prevent our number one killer.

So, what are doctors not telling us about food?

Far too much.

In What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You About Food, I'll guide you through fifteen conversations I wish every doctor had the time and confidence to have with their patients. Conversations that cut through the online confusion about food and health, and show just how powerful our daily food choices can be.

Regular listeners of this podcast will also recognise some familiar voices throughout the book, with contributions from many former guests and friends of the show, including Dr Neal Barnard, Dr Dean and Dr Ayesha Sherzai, Stephen and David Flynn from The Happy Pear, and Ian and Henry from BOSH!
