We accept that diet is directly linked to our weight but just how much do food choices affect our health? Obese individuals suffer an increased risk of developing around 30 serious medical conditions and often the real health issues are ignored.
Enter the Diet Doctors, who for the first time combine medical and holistic approaches on not only looking good, but feeling good. The doctors use an arsenal of shock tactics to tackle some of the most extreme cases - such as skin complaints, diabetes, insomnia and infertility. For some it may prove to be a life-saver.
Using unique physical demonstrations and the latest in medical camera technology the doctors will investigate what’s going on inside and outside the body, with some shocking results.
