Australia’s Health Revolution with Dr Michael Mosley Premiering on SBS Wednesday 13 October
Artemis Media’s new documentary series follows the renowned British doctor and weight loss expert as he embarks on a confronting journey alongside eight brave Australians.
Renowned doctor and trusted medical journalist Dr. Michael Mosley is back in Australia to tackle the nation’s fastest growing chronic disease, type 2 diabetes, in his new landmark three-part series Australia’s Health Revolution with Dr Michael Mosley which premieres Wednesday 13 October at 7.30pm on SBS.
Working with proud Gomeroi man and exercise physiologist Ray Kelly, Dr. Mosley puts his own body on the line to demonstrate the latest science and to show just how quickly you can eat your way into, and out of, ill health. Dr. Mosley follows an average Australian diet and in just two weeks, his blood sugar levels become pre-diabetic and pushes his blood pressure worryingly high – highlighting the root of Australia’s obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemic, at a time where almost 200 Australians are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes every day.
Dr. Mosley isn’t on this journey alone. He and Ray meet with eight brave West Australians diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes who dream of getting their health back and turning their lives around. Together with Ray, Dr. Mosley will guide the participants through drastic diet and lifestyle adjustments rather than medicine, in an attempt to reverse the effects of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
The series was directed by Russell Vines and produced by Celia Tait of WA production company Artemis Media, which specialises in creating thought-provoking, entertaining television for Australia and the international market, such as Who Do You Think You Are?, Shaun Micallef’s Stairway to Heaven and Every Family Has a Secret.
“There has never been a more important time to be healthy. Now, as we grapple with the complexity of living amidst a pandemic, it’s all the more important to share the latest science around type 2 diabetes reversal. We take heart and inspiration from Dr Michael Mosley, Ray Kelly and the participants whose stories we follow and who show us how to live a healthier life.” said Celia Tait, Executive Producer at Artemis Media.
“It’s fantastic to see Artemis continuing their long streak of tackling topics that compel us to take an inward look at ourselves. I think we can all come away from this eye-opening series armed with empowering knowledge about our own diet and lifestyle habits.” said Paul Williams, Screenwest Documentary Manager.
