His wife wrote on Instagram: 'It's hard to believe that a year has passed since we lost Michael.
'Not a day goes by without thinking of him — his warmth, his laughter, his endless curiosity about the world, and his deep love for our family.
'This past year has been the hardest of our lives.'
Last month, the family set up a research project to honour his memory and help improve the nation's metabolic health.
A clinical research fellowship will be established with King's College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation.
The family added: 'We are trying to carry on the work Michael was so passionate about.
"To live with purpose and joy, as he would have wanted us to.'
In December, a coroner ruled that Michael's death on Symi was most likely due to 'heatstroke (accidental) or a non-identified pathological cause'.

Body coach Joe Wicks' 'simple and healthy' breakfast muffins
The 39-year-old said his simple morning dish takes only 20 minutes to make - here's everything you need to know Joe Wicks has shared a delicious breakfast recipe with fans —and it's surprisingly quick and easy to make. The 39-year-old body coach said his dish tastes good either hot or cold and could even be popped in a lunchbox. "Quick, easy, simple and healthy," he wrote in a recent Instagram post. "But don't do what I did and overegg it. They will rise & they will get ya. These tomato, spinach and mozzarella breakfast muffins taste amazing. "I baked them for 20 mins at 180°C. They taste so good hot or cold in a lunch box too." For anyone keen to give Joe's dish a try, he recommended grabbing the following ingredients: Six eggs A handful of fresh chopped spinach Some sliced baby tomatoes Some fresh basil Mozzarella cheese Sprinkle of salt and pepper To start his recipe, Joe first whisked six eggs in a bowl before adding a handful of chopped spinach, sliced baby tomatoes, and fresh basil. He then mixed in some delicious Italian mozzarella, with a touch of salt and pepper for flavouring. In a video tutorial, he added: "Lightly grease some muffin tins with some oil or a bit of butter, fill them up [and] put them in the oven." Joe baked his egg muffins for around 20 minutes at 180°C. Though they may not have looked as beautiful as he hoped, he stressed that the taste was 'amazing'. "There you go, that is delicious, simple, homemade tomato, spinach and mozzarella breakfast muffins," he said. "They taste very hot - obviously out of the oven - but they are also really yummy wrapped up in a lunch box, eaten later on in the day. So, yeah, win. Enjoy." Besides their delicious taste, Joe's breakfast muffins include several healthy ingredients, too. Spinach is an especially renowned nutrient powerhouse, lauded for its potential blood sugar perks. Helen Bell, a nutritional expert at Help & Advice, previously told the Express: "Spinach is indeed known for its potential benefits in managing high blood pressure. "It is rich in nitrates, which can help dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. I have often recommended incorporating spinach into diets for individuals looking to manage their blood pressure naturally. "Aside from this, spinach is a powerhouse of nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and calcium. Its antioxidant properties make it beneficial for overall health and well-being." Meanwhile, eggs also boast a hefty amount of protein and may even benefit anyone on a weight loss diet. In a separate conversation, Helen added: "In my experience, consuming eggs as a snack can actually be quite beneficial for weight loss. Eggs are high in protein, which helps to increase satiety and keep you feeling fuller for longer. "This can reduce the overall calorie intake throughout the day. But, it's important to watch portion sizes and prepare them in a healthy way, like boiling or poaching, to avoid adding unnecessary fats."

Three ways to improve your health by boosting your daily dose of fibre
Find out which powder drink finally isn't gloopy and tough to swallow TRIED & TESTED Three ways to improve your health by boosting your daily dose of fibre Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HAVING fibre in your diet can help digestion, blood sugar control and managing weight by making you feel full. It can also cut the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Yet fewer than one in ten people get the recommended 30g a day. The best way to up your fibre is with your diet. But today, I look at ways you can boost your daily dose. GUMMIES 3 Novomins fibre gummies provide 4g of fibre THIS one is a clever idea – Novomins fibre gummies provide 4g of fibre through inulin, which comes from the chicory plant. Inulin is found in prebiotic foods like garlic, onion and bananas. As a supplement, you can get inulin powder. But for convenience these gummies are great. They also contain calcium, vitamin D, B12 and chromium, have a lovely orange flavour and contain no sugar. Very chewy, they last for ages. A bit of a sweet treat to keep your bowels healthy. £15.99 for 60, Azmina Govindji nutrition holiday tips POWDER DRINK 3 This new powder drink from the Fast 800 isn't thick or gloopy IN the past there have been fibre drinks that were thick, gloopy and tough to swallow. But this new one, from the Fast 800, isn't. The powders are a blend of inulin, acacia fibre and green banana resistant starch, which mixes to a smooth drink. The Sleep Blend also contains minerals, amino acids and other natural sleep support ingredients such as magnesium, chamomile, lemon balm extract and passionflower. There is 5.6g of fibre per serving and just 18 calories. You take 10g of the powder and mix with water, warm or cold, up to three hours before bed. It does have a mild lemon flavour, which I didn't love, but it wasn't unpleasant. £22.99 for 30 servings, FOOD 3 Jnck Bakery's new cookies are formulated to have five times more fibre than standard ones A SUGARY biscuit that is good for your gut health sounds bonkers, but JNCK Bakery's new cookies are formulated to have five times more fibre than standard ones. They also include other health-focused improvements, such as 90 per cent less sugar and 50 cent less saturated fat. This has been achieved by incorporating pea protein, prebiotic fibre and a low-sugar, protein-rich chocolate. They come in three flavours – Milky Chocolate, Trippple Chocolate and White Gold Chocolate, and each cookie has around 9g of fibre, 185 calories and 1.5g of sugar. They are rich and chocolatey and taste amazing. My six-year-old loves them and I would buy them knowing that they are slightly healthier than your average cookie. From £1.08 each at Tesco.

I can't shift pink marks on my skin – they keep popping up but I can't get a GP appointment
Got a health-related problem? Send it to Zoe, email below ASK DR ZOE I can't shift pink marks on my skin – they keep popping up but I can't get a GP appointment Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OUR resident specialist and NHS GP, Dr Zoe Williams, shares her expert advice. Today, Dr Zoe helps a reader who has noticed marks on their skin. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Dr Zoe Williams helps Sun readers with their health concerns Credit: Olivia West 2 A reader sent in an image of their rash Credit: supplied Q) I HAVE some skin marks that I first noticed last year. I tried to see my doctor but could only get a phone consultation which, as you can imagine, was useless. They wanted me to email a picture, but I couldn't access the site. I've used a steroid cream, which I had for a different issue, and found it makes the marks go, but after a while, more appear elsewhere. They aren't sore or itchy, but this is really getting me down. Can you help? A) Thank you for sending the images of the rash, which appear to show oval salmon-pink-coloured patches on your torso. While seeing images of skin is helpful, we doctors usually need to get a history from the patient in order to make a diagnosis. I would like to know if, prior to the rash appearing, there was a single larger patch that came up first. If this was the case, then that would likely be the herald patch – a sign of the harmless skin condition pityriasis rosea. It usually gets better on its own over the course of around four to ten weeks. You say you first noticed skin marks a year ago, but I'm unsure if there was a period in between where it cleared. This could be a second episode of it. If this sounds likely, it will resolve on its own and a mild steroid cream can alleviate any discomfort if there is any. If you do not think it is this, then you need a consultation with a GP. Sun Health Explainer: Skin rashes - eczema, psoriasis, sepsis TIP: As we enjoy the summer, try to refrain from wearing sandals and flip-flops too often. Their lack of support can lead to calluses, corns and issues like plantar fasciitis, which causes heel pain.
