He now explains to patients how they could “eat themselves healthy”. <\/p>\n
“I tell people ‘it’s absolutely not your fault \u2013 you’re hungry because you’re putting the wrong fuel in your body’,” he said.<\/p>\n
About 60% of calories in the average Briton’s diet<\/a> come from ultra-processed foods, which are low in nutrition, he said.<\/p>\n He added that his beliefs were a departure from traditional pharmaceutical practices.<\/p>\n “Too many people are on anti-depressants and anti-hypertensives because their blood pressure’s a bit high, and then a diabetes drug, and then coming in over the top is the new weight-loss jabs – you don’t even have to change your diet,” he continued.<\/p>\n Clinical trials by Cambridge University and University College London have shown that while effective for fat loss, more than 40% of the weight lost, external<\/a> on the jabs is muscle and bone.<\/p>\n “What I’m seeing is women’s periods are stopping, hair is falling out… and they’re now at risk of osteopenia, external<\/a> and sarcopenia, external<\/a>,” said Phillips. <\/p>\n “In other words, if you lose bone and muscle, you’re hastening your demise, and you burn fewer calories.”<\/p>\n He added: “We get people off a lot of medication and we don’t make them feel judged in any way. <\/p>\n “We provide the information, and if that’s the path they want to take, we’re here to support them… it’s an obvious role for community pharmacies to play.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He now explains to patients how they could “eat themselves healthy”. “I tell people ‘it’s absolutely not your…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":251374,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[163,85,46,482],"class_list":["post-251373","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-medication","tag-health","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-medication"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/251374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
