The local Rhodes Facebook group was abuzz with comments about the disappearance of Dr. Michael Mosley a few days ago. People described him as a genuine person who was passionate about helping others and expressed gratitude for his work. Unfortunately, a body believed to be his has been found, prompting tributes from celebrities like Jamie Oliver and Piers Morgan.
I first interviewed Michael in 2019 and was familiar with his impressive body of work. He was a well-known doctor in the UK who had presented documentaries on the BBC, appeared on This Morning, and written bestselling books like The Fast Diet. This book, which popularized the idea of intermittent fasting, had a significant impact on many people’s lives.
In April 2020, when the UK went into lockdown, I had the opportunity to speak with Michael again. His work and dedication to helping others shone through even during challenging times. It is clear from the outpouring of tributes that he had made a lasting impact on those who knew him or were touched by his work.
