💚 How to Have a Healthy Body Weight 💚
📅 February 18th
⏰ 19.00–20.30 UK time

Our modern society is obsessed with dieting. In the UK alone, £3.5 billion is spent every year on weight loss programmes, slimming foods and medications. And yet most of them don’t work long term. That’s why people keep jumping from one solution to the next.

This talk takes a completely different approach.
Instead of chasing weight loss, we focus on health. When the body becomes healthy, it naturally settles at its own ideal weight and dieting becomes unnecessary.

We’ll explore how to eat for real health, build simple cooking skills, enjoy movement, and improve internal balance. The benefits go far beyond weight, including more energy, stronger immunity and better long-term health.

Oliver will also cover healthy weight gain for those who struggle with being underweight, using the same health-first approach.
