The Appetite Reset – How to Eat, Drink and Thrive Before, During and After GLP-1s

Monday 22nd June 2026 from 7.30PM

Dr Federica Amati in Conversation with Dr Tim Spector

Federica Amati joins Tim Spector for a compassionate, science-backed roadmap to appetite, metabolism and life in the age of GLP-1s.

GLP-1 medications have transformed how we eat, drink and think about appetite. Millions of people have used them. Millions more are considering them.

Yet for all their impact and rapid uptake, one critical gap in support and question remains largely unanswered: how do you nourish your body before, during and after weight-loss medications in a way that truly supports long-term health?

In conversation with Dr Tim Spector, Dr Federica Amati will share a science-based, compassionate guide to eating well at every stage of GLP-1 or “peptide” therapy. They will provide clear, practical guidance for protecting metabolism, restoring appetite signals and building a confident, sustainable relationship with food, whether you are looking to reset your natural appetite biology, exploring GLP-1s, currently taking them, or navigating life after stopping.

Grounded in clinical experience, Federica will unpack the science behind these naturally occurring hormones and mechanisms and share the latest research into the future of metabolic health. They will also addresses the emotional and identity shifts that often accompany appetite suppression, helping you move forward without fear, confusion or diet culture.

Frank Miller: Storyteller

Thursday 30th July 2026 from 7.30PM

Live In Conversation with Joe Hill

The creator of The Dark Knight Returns and 300 joins fellow comics legend Joe Hill for a deep dive into his life and art, revealing his secrets of storytelling.

Frank Miller transformed the way comics are told and reshaped popular culture in America and the world.

In this exclusive conversation with bestselling horror novelist and Locke and Key creator Joe Hill, we’ll hear about his struggles as a fresh faced seventeen year-old kid in seedy 1970s New York and his success reimagining Daredevil and Wolverine: and of course, his transformation of Batman from a childish has-been into the gritty, noirish hero we love. We’ll head to Hollywood, hear about the Sin City comics and movies, and his legendary retelling of the Spartans’ last stand in 300.

We’ll discover how he got his first breaks, how he poured his own life into his darkly realistic characters, how he fought against censorship, and how he introduced manga-style storytelling to US readers decade before anime began tiptoeing into the mainstream.

Throughout, Frank will share insights into his artistic process, offering lessons for aspiring writers and artists drawn from a lifetime at the summit of popular storytelling. Don’t miss it.
