Michael Mosley (67), a renowned British medical doctor and broadcaster, has been reported missing during his vacation in Greece, according to AP and Reuters on the 6th.
Mosley, who popularized the Intermittent Fasting method, disappeared while vacationing on the Greek island of Symi with his wife.
According to the last known sighting, Mosley left for a hike along Saint Nicholas Beach on Symi Island around 1:30 pm the previous day and did not return.
Greek police are currently conducting a large-scale search operation, deploying helicopters, drones, and rescue workers. Additionally, they are analyzing CCTV footage from the area based on witness reports claiming to have seen Mosley on a road after his disappearance.
It remains unclear why Mosley went for a beach walk alone and why he has not returned. While some suggest that Mosley could have lost his way, the police are not ruling out the possibility of a crime. Greek police are investigating while keeping all possibilities open, and additional announcements are expected to be made soon.
Mosley is a British medical doctor and broadcaster, well-known for leading the popularization of the Intermittent Fasting method.
He spreads information about health and diet by hosting TV shows, writing columns, and publishing books. In particular, his representative book, Intermittent Fasting, became a bestseller around the world and has awakened many people to the importance of healthy eating habits.

Intermittent fasting is a diet method in which one maintains a fast for a certain period and eats during the remaining time.
In general, it involves fasting for 16 hours out of a 24-hour day and eating during the remaining 8 hours, referred to as the 16/8 intermittent fasting, or eating normally for 5 days a week and consuming about 500-600 kcal on the remaining 2 days, known as the 5:2 diet.
Intermittent fasting has been found to offer various health benefits, including weight loss, improved insulin sensitivity, reduced blood pressure, and improved brain function.
However, it’s not suitable for everyone. People with conditions such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, or eating disorders need to be cautious. It may also be unsafe for pregnant or breastfeeding women and teenagers, so consulting with a specialist before starting is crucial.
