Michael devised and executive-produced three the hugely popular Pompeii- the last day, Supervolcano and Krakatoa and was executive producer of QED, Trust Me I’m a Doctor and Superhuman, and presenter on Eat, Fast Live Longer; and The Truth about Exercise.

In 2021 Michael presented How to Keep a Healthy Weight on Channel 4 and Diagnosis Detectives on BBC Two. Exploring issues around the obesity crisis, he presented Michael Mosley: Who Made Britain Fat? in 2022, which was broadcast on Channel 4.

Since 2021, Michael has also hosted a BBC Podcast Just One Thing in which he reveals surprisingly simple tips that are scientifically-proven to change your life.

Back in 2012, Michael presented Eat, Fast, Live Longer, an episode of the long-running Horizon series on BBC. Here he explored the science behind the ancient idea of fasting, which he found to have life-changing results.

Michael first became interested in intermittent fasting when he discovered, through a random blood test, that he had type 2 diabetes. Determined to find a drug-free way to ‘cure’ his diabetes, he tested a number of different forms of intermittent fasting.
