Author Talk: Dr. Emma Beckett

Join us for an author talk with Dr. Emma Beckett, as she discusses her new book, You Are More Than What You Eat.

About Emma Beckett

Dr Emma Beckett has spent more than 15 years studying food and how it interacts with our bodies.

In this fun, informative book, she takes her extensive research qualifications and experience and applies them to our everyday lives in her sassy and straightforward style. She shows us how and why food choices, eating, and biology are not as simple as diet culture suggests. By embracing this complexity, we can empower ourselves to make changes that suit our unique lives and biology. Ditch the guilt that comes with trying to follow simple rules that don’t actually work.

About the book

Part manual, part memoir, part manifesto, You Are More Than What You Eat puts the person back at the heart of nutrition. Informed by a scientific evidence base, this is the perfect antidote to the misinformation surrounding the weight loss and diet industry. This book will teach you to embrace the complexity of your body and your life, reject the lure of simple slogans, and heal your relationship with food.

Praise for the book

"An empowering and delightful demolition of diet culture. A guide to modern life." Dr Liz Allen, author of The Future of Us

"... Her book is the much-needed antidote to diet culture, nutrition misinformation, and body shaming. I highly recommend you stop following the latest diet trending on social media and take the time to read this book and rethink your approach. Healthy eating should be joyful eating, and Emma will help you bring a smile to your table." Dr Joanna McMillan
