When over 33,000 publishing professionals and book lovers walk through the same doors, you know the books on display matter. Studio of Books was proud to bring such masterpieces at the much-anticipated 2026 London Book Fair.
“Obesity: A Silent and Serial Killer” by Dr. Hassan M. Heshmati stepped onto the international stage at the 2026 London Book Fair, held 10–12 March at Olympia, London. This year, the book fair welcomed 1,005 exhibitors and more than 33,000 visitors.
The London Book Fair (LBF) is one of the most prestigious events in the publishing world, uniting authors, publishers, literary agents, and industry professionals from over 100 countries. Far beyond a traditional book fair, it is a global marketplace for the sale and distribution of content across print, audio, film, and digital media — where deals are made, voices are amplified, and new stories find their readers.
This is where authors meet publishers, literary agents pitch to foreign buyers, and book lovers discover their next great read. It is, above all, where ideas become movements.
Obesity is not a lifestyle choice. It is a medical crisis — and one of the most underestimated threats to human health in the modern world.
Obesity: A Silent and Serial Killer confronts that reality head-on. Drawing on nearly five decades of clinical research and expertise in endocrinology and metabolism, Dr. Hassan M. Heshmati delivers a rigorous, compassionate, and urgently needed examination of obesity — not as a matter of willpower, but as a complex, progressive disease with devastating consequences that too often go unrecognized until it is too late.
From its physiological roots to its far-reaching impact on the body’s systems, Dr. Heshmati illuminates what obesity truly is, how it operates silently over time, and what the latest science tells us about preventing and treating it. This is a book written for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike — anyone who wants to understand one of the defining health challenges of our era with the clarity and depth it deserves.
Dr. Hassan M. Heshmati is a physician, endocrinologist, and clinical researcher with 49 years of experience spanning some of the world’s most respected academic and pharmaceutical institutions — including University-Affiliated Hospitals in Paris, the Mayo Foundation in Rochester, Minnesota, and leading biotech companies such as Sanofi, Essentialis, and Gelesis. He is the founder of Endocrinology Metabolism Consulting, LLC, and has dedicated his career to advancing the understanding of conditions including pituitary tumors, thyroid disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and obesity.
The author of 357 abstracts, book chapters, and peer-reviewed articles in endocrinology and metabolism, Dr. Heshmati brings to this book a depth of knowledge that is matched only by his commitment to making that knowledge accessible. He has spent a lifetime studying obesity — and this book is the fullest, most urgent expression of everything he has learned.
