THE outpouring of grief when Michael died of heatstroke on a hillside in Greece in June 2024 was extraordinary.

Our family was deeply touched by the warmth and kindness of the Just One Thing community. So many people shared how they had benefitted from Michael’s advice and how he was like a friend to them.

Michael personally understood the challenges of pursuing a healthy and happy lifestyle, having struggled himself with his weight, diabetes and a chocolate addiction.

Michael was always passionate about supporting the nation’s health, knowing that so many of the chronic conditions that cause poor metabolic health across the Western world can be addressed by simple lifestyle changes.

Ever since 2012, when he brought his type 2 diabetes into remission using intermittent fasting, he took it upon himself to inspire people worldwide to make lifestyle changes to improve their health.

But he understood that we are often overloaded with lifestyle advice that can become overwhelming: how to sleep better, how to control your anxiety, what foods to eat, what foods not to eat, how to lose weight, the best way to exercise.

Michael believed that willpower was overrated. He understood the power of habit and the benefit of breaking down those lifestyle tips into bitesized chunks.

Through Just One Thing, Michael may well have improved the health of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives across the globe.

His legacy lives on, not least in this brilliant new book, Just One Thing Volume 2, so you can continue to improve your life bit by bit.

Here are five of the tips he left behind for a happier life...
