Ready to gain insights from Dr Michael Mosley to inform your practice?

We've considered the many questions from you to Dr Michael Mosley, so expect this webinar to be PACKED with answers and insights!

  • Why should we worry about putting on excess body weight, and what are some of the statistics on weight gain during the pandemic?
  • Beyond the scales, which signs might be alerting us that we are carrying too much body fat? But how many of us actually pay attention to these signs?
  • How is understanding our ‘metabolic age’ useful, and how is this calculated?
  • Besides metabolic age as a relationship with BMR, what else should we measure through clinical testing?
  • For metabolic health, why does the way in which we lose weight matter?
  • What are the pros and cons of ‘rapid’ weight loss?
  • How does a sudden drop in body weight alter energy metabolism?
  • What are some safe (and some dangerous) ways of losing weight rapidly?
  • How might caloric restriction without malnutrition, combined with gentle intermittent fasting, help with safe yet rapid weight (fat) loss?
  • What does the research on severe caloric restriction and intermittent fasting show us in relation to metabolic health?
  • What are the dangers, side effects, and contraindications of very-low-calorie dieting combined with intermittent fasting? Who is it for, and who is not for?
  • How can we ensure the diet is done safely, and what is the ideal duration of such a plan?

Furthermore, we will get Dr Michael Mosley's perspective on questions such as:

  • What are the advantages of having a nutrition professional supporting you throughout this process, versus attempting all this on your own? And when is medical referral needed?
  • What might be some of the repercussions on hunger hormones, and how can rebound weight gain be prevented?
  • How might (safely done) rapid weight loss impact long-term weight maintenance?
  • In what ways could we support nutrition clients or patients to safely transition out of this shorter term dietary strategy?
  • What else should nutrition professionals and medical doctors keep in mind when putting forward these strategies to clients and patients?
