Medical journalist Michael Mosley and a team of doctors offer advice on health, using their expertise and the latest research to investigate the truth behind various claims being made in the media. Surgeon Gabriel Weston takes part in an experiment at the University of Surrey’s Sleep Research Centre to discover whether an extra hour in bed could have major benefits, while A&E specialist Dr Saleyha Ahsan asks if people can be overweight and still healthy, and tests the accuracy of two different methods used to assess fatness.
