We all know it’s important to take care of our health, but with so much contradictory messaging out there around weight loss, dieting, and exercise, it can be really difficult to work out the best approach. That’s why we’ve invited the experts behind Second Nature, the weight-loss programme that’s been used by the NHS for over 7 years, to answer any questions you have around losing weight and creating new healthy habits.
Everyone who shares a question by Friday 23 May will be entered into a prize draw to win a free 6 month subscription to Second Nature for either their medication or non-medication programme (depending on the individual winner’s eligibility) T&Cs.

He’s had overall responsibility for the science behind Second Nature and health coaching for the last 10 years.
