Christine M. Thomas
Christine M Thomas is a serial dieter whose debut book "The Elephant in the Room: We are Worth More Than We Weigh", delves into her dieting journey and exposes the reality behind some of the research that compels women to believe that their size is their only value.
Christine's premise that research does not always match reality, draws on her professional expertise where she has spent 30 years assessing scientific evidence on healthcare drugs compared to their real-world effectiveness.
Chrisitne holds a Masters in Economic Evaluation of Healthcare and has published on the value of healthcare interventions in peer-reviewed journals, including a cost of illness study for depression-related obesity as part of the Health Survey for England. Christine is a Visiting Professor at University of Sunderland and has run her own consultancy business since 2009.
Christine's passion and unapologetic approach to tackling the nonsensical, saw her speaking up for children during the pandemic and taking the UK government to task over its decision to close schools.
When she's not busy debunking myths and exposing truths, you can find Christine teaching children’s yoga classes and leading relaxation sessions, or mindfully eating cake (for research purposes, of course!)
With a keen eye for the absurdities of everyday life, Christine's writing will have you laughing, learning, and questioning everything you thought you knew about losing weight.
