Critics Review

A voice of reason in a field of fake news. Honesty, integrity and compassion shine through everything he writes. The only medical doctor I’ve ever allowed on my timeline. * Megan Crabbe (@bodyposipanda) *Us fat people are lucky to have Joshua, who sees past the fat and diet culture and actually sees us. * Sofie Hagen (@sofiehagendk) *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! * Stephanie Yeboah (@stephanieyeboah) *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. * Anna Mathur (@annamathur) *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. * Sarah Nicole Landry (@thebirdspapaya) *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! * Lucy Bee (@lucybeecoconut) *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. * Alice Liveing (@aliceliveing) *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. * Dr Danielle Jones (@mamadoctorjones) *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. * Caroline Dooner, author of The F*ck It Diet (@thefuckitdiet) *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. * Jessica Megan (@jessmegan) *
