Discussing the aftermath of his father's death, Jack continued: "It was such a sudden thing when dad did pass away. It has been difficult for my siblings and I, my mum.

Back in the BBC studio, Alex reflected: "It's hard to believe it's been a year... Our thoughts, of course, are with the whole family at this time." Beyond his podcast, Michael gained recognition for his roles in several health-focused TV programmes, including Trust Me, I'm A Doctor, The Truth about Exercise, and Lose a Stone in 21 Days.

Michael Mosley's family reflect on one year since TV doctor's death
The family of Michael Mosley have remembered him on the first anniversary of his death in a tribute saying the past year "has been the hardest of our lives". Mosley, who died aged 67 while on holiday with his wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, on the Greek island of Symi last year, was known for popularising diets and fronting science programmes. 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. Navigating the loss of someone so central to our hearts and our home has changed everything. We have missed him in the big moments and the small ones. But we have also felt incredibly supported. "The outpouring of love, stories and memories from so many of you has meant more than we can ever say. We have taken real comfort in knowing just how many lives Michael touched – not only through his work, but through his kindness, humour, and deep desire to help people live well for longer." The message thanked "everyone who has reached out, shared their grief, and carried us with their compassion, thank you. Your messages, letters and acts of remembrance have helped us through the darkest days." It continued: "We are trying, as a family to look forward. To carry on the work Michael was so passionate about. To live with purpose and joy, as he would have wanted us to." "With love and deepest gratitude, Clare and the Mosley family." Last month, the family set up a research project to honour his memory, announcing that a new clinical research fellowship will be established in partnership with King's College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF) to help improve the nation's metabolic health. The Mosleys have been working with King's College London and the CDRF, who will administer the Michael Mosley Memorial Research Fund, to appoint a dedicated research scientist. Mosley, known for fronting BBC and Channel 4 documentaries on health and diet, popularised the 5:2 diet, a form of intermittent fasting, through his book The Fast Diet. In December, a coroner said Mosley's death was "indeterminate" and "unascertainable", adding that it "was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause". Mosley had presented BBC Radio 4's Just One Thing, and the BBC series Trust Me, I'm A Doctor, which looked at healthcare in Britain. He would regularly push his body during various programmes, and in a 2014 documentary, he ingested tapeworms for six weeks. In a 2015 programme, he made two black puddings out of his own blood to showcase its nutritional value. The BBC honoured the doctor-turned-science broadcaster with a day dedicated to him in July 2024, when presenters and audiences were encouraged to do "just one thing" to improve their wellbeing.

James Martin's simple breakfast that could help fight cancer
The late Doctor Michael Mosley said the breakfast could help fight cancer After shedding an impressive 3 stone, Chef James Martin has spilled the beans on his go-to breakfast – and it's good news for people who don't like a pile of dishes after they cook as it only contains two ingredients. Calling it "simple and very tasty", the beloved ITV Saturday Morning host took a flavourful detour to Spain, gathering inspiration for his latest cookbook, James Martin's Spanish Adventure." According to Devon Live, while writing his new book, James Martin developed recipes "specifically created" with ingredients he discovered during his travels. Speaking to Hello!, the celebrity chef revealed his go-to breakfast: "Grilled tomatoes on toast." Tomatoes are classified as a fruit due to their seed-bearing structure. They are also among the most widely consumed fruits globally, hailed for their versatility and high nutritional content, including vitamin C, potassium, folate, and of course, he antioxidant, lycopene. The late Doctor Michael Mosley, who died in June 2024, highlighted the surprising health benefits of tomatoes. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Just One Thing, a programme focused on the health advantages of everyday foods and habits, the doctor noted that tomatoes offer a range of lesser-known benefits. When talking specifically about cooked tomatoes, Doctor Mosley, previously said: "Tomatoes contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene that helps the body fight off 'free radicals' - chemicals that attack and damage cells in the body. "Lycopene is even more effective when tomatoes are cooked because the heat breaks down the fruit's thick cell walls and makes the lycopene more accessible to the body. 'That means tomato sauce from fresh or tinned tomatoes, and even ketchup can actually provide more lycopene than fresh tomatoes. If you are cooking tomatoes, add some olive oil and your body will absorb more of the lycopene." He also revealed there has been "a number of experiments measuring the effects of tomato sauce and paste on prostate cancer, which, in the Western world, is the second biggest cause of death among men." He also noted that research data suggests lycopene might benefit women with breast cancer. He concluded: "Prof Richard van Breemen from Oregon State University first noted the potential of lycopene after reading research by male physicians: those who ate the most lycopene in the form of tomato sauce, tomato paste and fresh tomatoes had the lowest incidence of prostate cancer. "In Prof van Breeman's own experiments, a group of men at risk from prostate cancer ate pasta dishes with tomato sauce for three weeks. He saw lycopene levels in the blood and prostate increase and oxidative stress (damage to the cell and DNA that can lead to cancer) reduce."

Dr Michael Mosley's son pays tribute to 'incredible dad'
Watch: Dr Michael Mosley's son Jack pays tribute to 'incredible dad' Dr Michael Mosley's son Jack Mosley has paid tribute to his "incredible dad", thanking the "millions of people around the world" who have sent their family kind messages since his death. Jack, who like his father and mother Clare Bailey Mosley is also a doctor, appeared on Thursday's This Morning to talk about his new healthy lifestyle book Food Noise which will continue Michael's work in health and weight loss education. Michael died in June 2024 while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi with his wife Clare. He was well known for popularising intermittent fasting and for his health education TV shows, as well as his podcast Just One Thing. Speaking to This Morning on Thursday, Michael's son Jack acknowledged that it had been "a really tough time" since his death, but thanked his father's many fans who had got in touch. Asked how he was coping, he said: "I think it's been a really tough time for the whole family. One thing - we were blown away by the outpouring of grief from so many millions of people around the world and I think it just showed how much of an impact he had on all these people. "Whether it was inspiring them to make healthy lifestyle choices, or helping them reverse their diabetes, or lose weight, or even Just One Thing."

I think, in a way, it has brought us closer together as a family so that's one positive to take away from it. But he was an incredible man, an incredible dad." Speaking to BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine later on Thursday, Jack said of his dad: "He was a master self-experimenter, he always put his body on the line in the name of science, from tape worms to bungee jumping and even magic mushrooms." Telling a story about how Michael had been so keen on chocolate that he had eaten the family's Easter eggs when Jack was a child before he tackled his sugar cravings through intermittent fasting, Jack said: "That's what made him so relatable, my dad, he was able to prove that things could be done by adopting this dietary first approach. He really made a real difference." Jack's book Food Noise addresses the food cravings some people experience and how to make an informed choice about weight-loss drugs. When the book's publication was announced, Jack said: "My father, Michael, believed in empowering people with knowledge so they could take control of their own health. "My hope is that this book might do exactly that: equip as many people as possible with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions around weight-loss drugs and to show that changes to your lifestyle and improving your diet is essential to keep healthy while you are taking the medicine." Popular broadcaster and doctor Michael Mosley went missing while on holiday on the Greek island of Symi in June 2024. He had left wife Clare and their friends at a beach and begun walking back to where they were staying, but had fallen down a steep rocky incline during his journey in the heat. Michael was missing for four days before his body was discovered and an inquest found that he had died of natural causes. Clare said in a statement at the time: "We had an incredibly lucky life together," adding: "I am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days. My family and I have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from people from around the world. "It's clear that Michael meant a huge amount to so many of you. We're taking comfort in the fact that he so very nearly made it. He did an incredible climb, took the wrong route and collapsed where he couldn't be easily seen by the extensive search team. "Michael was an adventurous man, it's part of what made him so special." This Morning airs on ITV1 at 10am on weekdays.
