'Dr Alan Desmond's work is rooted in solid science. A fantastic guide on how to eat for a longer and healthier life.' - Dan Buettner, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Blue Zones

'Shows just how powerful real, everyday food can be for our long-term health and how we feel.' - Ella Mills, Founder of Deliciously Ella

In this empowering book leading NHS Consultant Gastroenterologist Dr Alan Desmond reveals the missing piece of the health puzzle: how the modern food environment is quietly reshaping our biology - and how you can reclaim control.

Drawing on decades of clinical experience, global research and real-life patient stories, Dr Desmond cuts through the noise with clarity and authority to explain:

* How diet has become the number one driver of early death and disability
* Why gut health influences everything from digestion and immunity to mood, metabolism and healthy ageing
* The hidden impact of ultra-processed foods and the simple swaps that make the biggest difference
* Why 'healthy eating' is easier, cheaper and more realistic than you've been led to believe
* The powerful daily habits that can transform your long-term health - without fads, guilt or perfectionism

This is not another diet book. It's a clear, compassionate roadmap for living better - backed by science, grounded in common sense, and designed for real life. Whether you want more energy, better digestion, a healthier body weight, or a longer, more vibrant life, What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Food gives you the tools to take charge of your health starting today.

Simple. Evidence-based. Life-changing.

Dr Alan Desmond is a Consultant Gastroenterologist who works for the NHS and in his own private practice based in Devon. He has published numerous research papers and regularly lectures around the world on the benefits of a plant based diet.
