Dr Rupy Aujla

Today I am thrilled to be joined by the wonderful Dr Rupy Aujla, an NHS medical doctor and founder of The Doctor’s Kitchen, a project which strives to inspire and educate people about the beauty of food and medicinal effects of eating well. He is also a Sunday Times bestselling author, with two cookbooks The Doctor’s Kitchen and Eat To Beat Illness and he has recently released his third book, 3-2-1. Dr Rupy is a passionate advocate of the ‘food as medicine’ approach, harnessing the power of ingredients to ramp up vitality, health and wellbeing. In this episode, he explains why the food we choose to put on our plate is the most important health intervention we can make, why nutrition is essential in building a strong immune system and why a diet with lots of colour nurtures your gut. Dr Rupy also shares the inspiring story of how he managed to heal his own heart condition through food and lifestyle intervention. Oh and of course we talk about his fantastic new cookbook, 3-2-1, which he hopes will change the way we cook and eat forever.   *** Life and Soul is hosted by Emma Forbes, produced by Georgie Rutherford and Georgie Futong and edited by Steve Campen.
