In this episode we speak with British TV presenter and doctor Michael Mosley, whose brush with type two diabetes introduced him to intermittent fasting and led to a documentary: Eat, Fast and Live Longer, which helped popularise the 5:2 dieting regimen around the world.Mosley is in Australia right now researching sleep and also for a national speaking tour this month.

Hosting this chat with him about everything from hunger as the driver of intelligence, to unlocking the power of push ups and squats in the morning - is Kerrie O’Brien, a senior culture writer with The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
