Michael Mosley's family say 'it's been hardest year' as anniversary marked
The family of TV doctor Michael Mosley have shared a heartbreaking tribute to him on the one-year anniversary of his sudden death in Greece The family of Michael Mosley has paid tribute to him on the first anniversary of his passing, describing the past year as "has been the hardest of our lives". Mosley, who passed away at the age of 67 while holidaying with his wife Dr Clare Bailey Mosley on the Greek island of Symi last year, was renowned for popularising diets and presenting science programmes. His wife posted 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 expressed gratitude to "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". The statement 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." In a touching tribute to his legacy, last month the family launched a research initiative in his name, revealing that a new clinical research fellowship will be created in collaboration with King's College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation (CDRF) to enhance the country's metabolic health. The Mosleys have joined forces with King's College London and the CDRF, who will oversee the Michael Mosley Memorial Research Fund, in their search for a committed research scientist. Dr Mosley, celebrated for presenting BBC and Channel 4 documentaries on health and nutrition, brought the 5:2 diet, a variant of intermittent fasting, into the limelight with his book 'The Fast Diet'. His son, Dr Jack Mosley, a GP registrar who has investigated GLP-1 drug brands such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound alongside his father, has penned a book entitled 'Food Noise: How Weight Loss Medication And Smart Nutrition Can Silence Your Cravings'. In December, an inquest concluded that the cause of Dr Mosley's death remained "indeterminate" and "unascertainable", suggesting that it "was most likely attributable either to heatstroke (accidental) or non-identified pathological cause". Dr Mosley had also been the voice behind BBC Radio 4's 'Just One Thing', and the BBC series 'Trust Me, I'm A Doctor', which delved into healthcare practices in Britain. He was known for pushing the limits of his own body during numerous broadcasts, including a 2014 documentary where he swallowed tapeworms for six weeks. In a 2015 feature, he went to great lengths to demonstrate the nutritional value of blood by making two black puddings from his own. In July 2024, the BBC celebrated the doctor-turned-television presenter with a special day in his honour, encouraging presenters and viewers alike to take up "just one thing" to boost their health. His wife, Clare, graciously accepted the Hall of Fame Award on his behalf at the British Podcast Awards in September 2024.
