A lot of relatives have told me in the past about chewing cloves everyday. It's part of a habit for some people and a traditional cure for toothache and gum disease. But, depending on who you speak to, the benefits extend to the digestive system, inflammation and even longevity.So here at the Doctor's Kitchen we decided to do a deep dive into this wonderfully strong spice that we use often in recipes such as broths, stews and of course biryani.Here are the things you need to knowIt's a potent spice that at the very least, contributes more polyphenols and diversity to your plate. The chemicals found in cloves are particularly interestingIt is linked to many beneficial properties, especially antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic benefits but human trials are lacking.Whole cloves are generally considered safe but clove oil or supplements need to be used with caution.
On this week's podcast Dr Louise is joined by Dr Rupy Aujla, founder of The Doctor's Kitchen, which aims to inspire and educate about the joy of food and the medicinal effects of eating well. Dr Rupy shares his thoughts on how to best enjoy a healthy and fulfilling diet and looks at some of the challenges food can bring during the perimenopause and menopause, but also how it can be a time to rethink and set new nutrition habits. While the new year is often a time to set goals or resolutions, Dr Rupy believes that consistency is the key to success and it can come through small steps, such as simply adding on vegetable to every single meal. Finally, Dr Rupy shares his three top tips for healthy eating: Master one meal that you're proud of and make it a solid base to then adapt, add twists with different vegetables, flavour bases, herbs, etc. If you have a child who doesn't like a particular ingredient, don't force it because that will introduce animosity towards that ingredient. When they're older, they may have developed different taste buds that allow them to appreciate it better. Aim for 90/10 because you probably will get to 80/20. And if you do have a cheeky take out, indulge, allow yourself to indulge without any guilt, particularly as it pertains to food, and then make yourself a pact to get back on it the following day.

I personally love my airfryer, I've been using it at home and in the Doctor's Kitchen studio since the start of the year, but can they be considered a ‘healthier' cooking method? This is a question I'm often posed online so we did some research and looked at a few studies. Air fryers aren't a new invention, in fact they've been around for a number of years but the popularity of them has soared over the last 2 years.The way air fryers cook foods is by circulating hot hair containing tiny droplets of oil around the foods. It actually mimics the effect of submerging food in hot oil but using significantly less oil. So, it allows quick and even cooking and creates crispy coatings on the outside of the food, with less calories, hence the reputation for being a ‘healthier alternative' to frying.On todays episode we looked at the pros and cons of airfrying across a number of domains including:Cost and conveniencePreservation of nutrientsThe detrimental impact of excessive heat on the oils and fat usedHow they compare with other methods including oven roasting and sauteing The environmental impact considering the materials they are made fromPlus our overall take on how I'm now using my airfryer and newer gadgets to look out for!
Friend of the podcast and one of my favourite authors Dr Tara Swart is back on The Doctor's Kitchen show today. Neuroscientist, former medical doctor and author of “The Source”, a book that has been hugely impactful to my career and mindset.She's also host of top rated life sciences podcast “Reinvent Yourself with Dr Tara”, and brand ambassador in beauty and well-being.Today we're going to talk about neuroplasticity and the ability of every human to adapt and change way later in life than we originally thought. Dr Tara will talk to us about exercises for how to better tap into the potential of our brains, as well as the science of why manifesting and vision boarding (also known as ‘action boarding') works as well as how ancient wisdom has influenced her medical practice.Her idea is simple: no matter how old, how stubborn, or how set in their ways, everyone has the capacity to change. And to add to that, everyone has the ability to manifest a future for themselves full of love, joy, health and whatever you desire. But your mindset and willingness to let go is crucial. You will love Tara's science influenced approach to manifesting and ancient practices.
Why do women struggle with weight during and after the menopause? This is the key question I'm putting to Dr Louise Newson on todays podcast as it's the most commonly asked question that I get from Doctor's Kitchen followers as well as from patients during my medical career.She is the perfect person to be discussing this topic as Dr Louise Newson is one of the UK's leading medical experts on the menopause and has championed women's health for years. I also discuss with Dr Louise the 3 key things that all women should understand about the menopause.Having worked as a GP as well as opening the Newson Health menopause clinic, she has built a wealth of knowledge from first-hand experience of treating perimenopausal and menopausal women. And she's also written “The Definitive Guide to the Perimenopause and Menopause” which lays out everything women need to know to understand and reclaim their power during this stage. Her book covers:- The key facts about hormones- An essential guide to HRT- Navigating an early menopause- Exercising and Eating during the menopause- Taking care of your mental healthWe also discuss the unlikely way in which Louise found out about her own menopause, which just goes to show how unaware we could all be about these symptoms!
In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Alan Desmond, a leading gastroenterologist and gut health advocate.

It's eye-opening to realize the influence of our food choices on our health.Furthermore, Dr. Desmond explores the fascinating gut-brain connection, emphasizing the importance of nurturing our gut microbiome for a healthy gastrointestinal tract, immune system, and body.In conclusion, Dr. Desmond encourages us to leverage modern medicine and be mindful of our food choices.

I've been regularly podcasting now since 2019 and it's been a whirlwind. Whilst this podcast was initially focused on nutrition and medicine, the conversations have spanned a wide range of topics including happiness, motivation, purpose and finding joy and meaning during life's struggles.I'm obsessed with food, flavour and how we connect with each other through the shared experience of eating. And it's because of this appreciation for connection as to why it's felt quite natural for me to cast the net wider when it comes to the conversations I've had on the podcast.This pod isn't just about nutritional medicine, although that is the foundation of what started it. It's become just as much about finding meaning and sparking joy, and it just so happens that we use food as the metaphor for this.Whilst we'll always have food to focus on, I hope you will allow me to expand the conversations beyond the science of food to explore other elements of lifestyle that are as important from both a scientific lens and an emotional one.#124 Fix Your Pain with Deepak Ravindran#104 How To Live with Professor Robert Thomas#91 Solving Happiness with Mo Gawdat#49 Overcoming the odds with Alexandra Adams#26: Eating for Mental Health with Professor Felice Jacka#27 Life Lessons From A Brain Surgeon - Dr Rahul Jandial

Today's episode is a live recording from my first supperclub of my book tour to promote the latest cookbook “Dr Rupy COOKS” and it was recorded in front of a live audience in London where we got to enjoy some beautiful food from the book prepared by Hanna Geller and her team who hosted the event at her home and interviewed me!We talk about the mission for Doctor's Kitchen, where I started, why I wrote this new book and also what I'm up to with the app, the non-profit work and future aspirations to change the way we look at food as medicine.After two decades working as an interior designer, creating comfortable and invitingspaces, Hanna turned her attention to food. Combining these two great passions, shestarted the Building Feasts blog to share not only recipes and stories about the dishesshe developed, but her philosophy on designing ways to bring people together around aTable. And it's this passion for food that brings out a little debate element of this interview which I personally really enjoyed.Hanna also teaches regular cooking classes, hosts Supper Clubs, pop ups and other events including collaborations with Pump Street Chocolate & Bakery, Honey & Co to name a few.

The cost of living has soared. Energy prices have doubled, and food costs have gone up enormously. As a result, the weekly shopping bill can be shocking. For some, this is merely an inconvenience. But many others face the awful choice between heating their home and maintaining their usual diet.

Today I'm chatting with Dr Anne Henderson, a highly experienced Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist who has spent 17 years as a senior consultant at a major acute NHS Trust, following undergraduate studies at Cambridge UniversityDr Anne is passionate about women's health issues, particularly menopause and HRT, which is now a key health agenda. She has extensive experience in this area having undertaken postgraduate research into the menopause, HRT, PMS and post-natal depression.In addition, she is a British Menopause Society Accredited Specialist, a recognition currently held by fewer than 200 practitioners in the UK and Anne also believes in offering her patients the full spectrum of treatments which includes complementary therapies such as herbal medicine.She has worked closely with a medical herbalist in Kent for the last 20 years: this collaboration has been highly successful and forms an integral part of Anne's clinical practice and educational seminars. She believes that the role of complementary therapies, particularly herbal medicine, is greatly under-recognised by most healthcare practitioners … which is why we're talking about it today!For more information I highly recommend checking out Anne's brilliant book Natural Menopause, full of illustrations, tips and practical advice from a trusted professional.You can download The Doctor's Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Li.I had the pleasure of finally meeting William a few weeks ago and if you don't know him, Dr Li is. An internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the New York Times Bestseller ‘Eat to Beat Disease - The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself'His groundbreaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments, has impacted more than 50 million people worldwide, and covers more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views.

Dr. Li is President and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation.We talk about a range of topics from his latest book including the 5 defence systems of the body: Your Microbes, stems cells, immune system , angiogenesis, your genes and how nutrition and lifestyle can positively influence them. As a food as medicine pioneer who started these conversations way before I even thought of The Doctor's Kitchen, Dr Li has been a true inspiration of mine. On this episode we talk aboutThe microbiota, how certain foods can improve your body's ability to regulate sugarWhat stem cells are and the different types of foods that can help promote regenerationThe benefits of food for the immune system supportThe future of food prescriptions and how medicine could look in 10-15 years timeThe impact of food to positively impact the efficacy of medicine in the field of cancer, cardiology and neurology.

Today I'm speaking to Sheila Dillon. A multi award winning food journalist, reporter, and presenter for BBC Radio 4's “The Food Programme” where she has worked for over 20 years. Sheila and her colleagues have truly changed the way in which we think about food in the UK and beyond. Her work has covered the breaking scandal of BSE, the rise of GM foods, the growth of the organic movement from muck and magic to a multi-million pound industry, the birth of the World Trade Organisation and irradiation at a time when those subjects were not even a gleam in a newshound´s eye.Sheila has a really special place in my heart as well. A few years ago I was invited to her house to cook a meal and share stories about my mission to help people eat better everyday. Sheila has really championed for nutrition in medicine and bravely shared her personal story of her own cancer and how she uses food to help support her treatment which has thus far prevented the need for a stem cell transplant.I think you're really going to enjoy today's stories of investigative journalism and why finding the courage to share your truth is so important.You can download The Doctor's Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

In this MEGAphone episode we will be shouting out the creator of The Doctor's Kitchen, Dr. Rupy Aujla. He wrote a really well done article outlining the basics of eating for the purposes of mitigating the negative responses of inflammation in our diets. I definitely think it's worth a shout out and a share. Eating for Inflammation It's amazing how many times I see ‘inflammation' as a concept coming up in different medical specialities as one of the potential causes of disease. It has almost become a unifying theory that links conditions of the modern world to our lifestyles. You might think I'm just talking just about swollen ankles that happens after an injury, or the redness that surrounds a cut on the skin, but high blood pressure, heart disease, dementia, diabetes and mental health problems all have links to an imbalance of inflammation in the body at a cellular level.

Why do we sleep? It seems like such a luxury, an evolutionary oversight, a privilege some might say? But on today's episode with Professor Russel Foster you'll learn about why sleep is having a renaissance in both the way we think about it as a means to health as well as how the workforce should embrace it for enhanced creativity and productivity .Russell Foster is Professor of Circadian Neuroscience, Director of the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute (SCNi) and Head of the Nuffield Laboratory of Ophthalmology at the University of Oxford. His latest book “Life Time” is a fantastic dive into everything circadian clock related and I absolutely loved it.Today we talk about:What Circadian rhythms areSleep pressureWhy we sleep and what happens when we sleepThe concept of circadian ‘entrainment'How the visual system interacts with the brainThe suprachiasmatic nuclei (SNC) as the master clockHow to figure our your chronotypeSleep, shift work and mental healthChronotherapeuticsProfessors Russels top 10 tips for ‘entraining' your clockYou can download The Doctor's Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Can when you eat be as important as what you eat? My next guest thinks so, and has spent his academic career studying the effects of circadian rhythm on everything from heart disease, exercise capacity, cognitive health and diabetes.Satchin Panda, PhD is a professor at The Salk Institute in La Jolla, California. His lab studies how circadian rhythm in metabolism is an integral part of metabolic health and longevity. In preclinical animal models he discovered that consuming all calories within a consistent 8-12 hours also known as Time-restricted feeding can sustain daily rhythms. One of the commonest topics I'm asked about is whether TRE or eating within rigid windows is advisable, and so I was fortunate to spend some time with Dr Panda himself whose research I've been privy to for many years. Studies have shown that this practical tool can prevent or even reverse chronic diseases and increase lifespan and today you'll learn about:What circadian rhythms areThe biggest drivers to rhythm - eating, light, exerciseEating strategies for shift workers When is the best time of day for ExerciseWhether grazing on food within a TRE window is advisableHow we separate the effect of TRE from a calorie deficitThe history of circadian scienceHow we use mice to research circadian rhythmsHow disrupting rhythm causes diabetes - effects of time-restricted eating on glucose metabolism. Why giving your gut a rest is importantThe benefits of intermittent fasting to insulin, your gut, inflammation and fat breakdownYou can find my guests book “The Circadian Diabetes Code” in all good book stores and the links to Satchin's website and app are on www.thedoctorskitchen.com too.You can download The Doctor's Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

What this creates is a state of constant, anxious chatter in which nobody can disconnect.In addition to this inability to unplug, is a squeezing of our cognitive bandwidth to perform substantive work. The type of work that really matters. We have become so used to an inbox-driven workday that it's hard to imagine alternatives.And that's why I'm speaking with computer science professor Cal Newport today who makes the case that our current approach to work is broken and why digital minimalism is so important.Cal is a NY Times bestselling author of several books, including, most recently, A World Without Email, Digital Minimalism, and Deep Work. Many of his articles from his column in the New Yorker and his weekly newsletter have inspired me to create a better working environment for me, my staff with the goal of promoting mental wellbeing and happiness which is why it was such a pleasure to have him on the show today.His latest book, A World Without Email provides a bold vision for liberating workers from the tyranny of the inbox, and unleashing a new era of productivity.You can download The Doctor's Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

And can we ever aspire to create a family environment that is functional or ‘ideal'?To help explore these questions I have Julia Samuel MBE on the podcast today to help explain why there is no such thing as ‘the perfect' family.

Download The Doctor's Kitchen app here.We need to revolutionise our understanding of pain. Most of us hold on to the false belief that pain is a measure of tissue damage, a ‘detector' of physical injury. But I'm speaking to Dr Monty Lyman who argues that pain is a ‘protector' rather than a ‘detector'.Dr Monty Lyman is a medical doctor and research fellow at the University of Oxford and his first book, The Remarkable Life of the Skin, was shortlisted for the 2019 Royal Society Science Book Prize, was a Radio 4 ‘Book of the Week' and a Sunday Times ‘Book of the Year'.Today, Monty and I discuss: What is pain really?His personal journey of dealing with pain from IBSHow hypnotherapy and homoeopathy might work to reduce painWhy loneliness and lack of community can lead to painThe concept of neuroplasticityHow movement, visualisation and education can help reduce and rewire our relationship with painIn his new piece of work “The Painful Truth”, he beautifully presents a collection of patient stories, personal experiences and evidence base for a more nuanced understanding of pain and I highly recommend it as a read.You can download The Doctor's Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Do you believe that food can be medicine? Most of us would agree that a healthy diet – whatever that means to the individual – is vital to our wellbeing. But can the right foods actually prevent and even cure illness? I know what I think, and my guest today not only agrees, he provides living proof! Dr Rupy Aujla was just 24 when he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a heart condition rare in someone of that age. But it wasn't Rupy's years of medical training or even his consultant's advice that turned his life around. It was only when he listened to his mother, looked to his diet, and transformed his eating that he was able to defy medical expectations and reverse his condition.This experience led Rupy to do a deep dive into how this ‘impossible' feat was achieved and in this conversation, he shares some of the explanations he's uncovered, including a reduction in inflammation and an improvement in the health of his gut. Back in 2015, he founded The Doctor's Kitchen, a movement to inspire and educate people about nutritional medicine and help them eat well every day. He not only shares recipes but also explains the clinical research behind them and how they can help you with your health. And he does this via his bestselling books, podcasts and social media posts. Recently, Rupy has taken the decision to pause his NHS career and focus on making healthy eating more accessible by launching the Doctor's Kitchen app, which is set to become a must-have resource for finding research-backed recipes tailored to your personal likes and health goals. It is available now on the App store.Rupy is a great friend and our lives have followed a similar path in many ways. We talk in-depth about the concept of food as medicine, as well as the polarising nature of discussions around diet. We also consider identity when it comes to career choice, and what it really means to be a doctor in the modern world. If you can help hundreds of thousands of people live better through your public platforms, is that any less meaningful than helping patients in a surgery or hospital each day? There's lots to think about in this conversation and I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed chatting.Thanks to our sponsors:https://www.athleticgreens.com/livemorehttps://www.leafyard.com/livemorehttps://www.vivobarefoot.com/livemoreOrder Dr Chatterjee's new book Happy Mind, Happy Life: UK version: https://amzn.to/304opgJ, US & Canada version: https://amzn.to/3DRxjgpShow notes available at https://drchatterjee.com/269DISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

You're in for an amazing ride with Pam Warhurst CBE. If you don't know her from the classic TED Talk “How we can eat our landscapes”, please do give it a watch. It raises the hairs on the back of my neck every time I listen to it. Pam is literally the most inspiring, enthusiastic and engaging speaker I know. And wow, she knows how to start a revolution through conversation.Pam has believed in the potential of the individual to work with others towards a kinder future for all for many years. As co-founder of Incredible Edible, an international initiative that began in Northern England, she uses the Trojan horse of local food growing to demonstrate the power of small actions in bringing about major cultural shifts.By growing food locally on unused land, sharing the food skills that exist across the community and supporting local sticky money economies, the Incredible Edible movement has demonstrated that citizens activism moves folks from bystanders into local investors of time and resource.What started in a working class market town called Todmorden, has now sprung activism across the globe. I really hope Pam's story inspires you to a. Consider growing in your local community and b. Start a revolution yourself. If there's something you're passionate about or want to change let Pam inspire you with her own words:“We the people could lead the way. We could stop being done to and start doing. We could stop waiting for those leaders to be brave, and get on creating that kinder future for ourselves.”Our podcast recipe of the week, is my easy ‘Jersey Royal Traybake' which you can find on the website at www.thedoctorskitchen.com plus hundreds more on the app here: https://apple.co/3G0zC0Z (iphone only, android users please bear with me)You can download The Doctor's Kitchen app for free to get access to all of our recipes, with specific suggestions tailored to your health needs and new recipes added every month.

Today we're talking all about why the most important molecule in your body, glucose, is a double edged sword and how flattening sugar levels in your bloodstream is key to less cravings, improved mood, better weight control and less risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia and depression.My guest is Jessie Inchauspé, (in chow spe) who is on a mission to translate cutting-edge science into easy advice to help people improve their physical and mental health by knowing more about their glucose levels.Jessie holds a degree in mathematics from King's College London, a degree in biochemistry and her first book, Glucose Revolution, she shares her discovery about the essential role of blood sugar and the surprising hacks to optimise it while still eating the foods we love.Today we talk about:The importance of adequate glucoseWhy blood glucose variability and the velocity of change in your blood glucose is important to knowHow excess sugar impacts your mitochondria, DNA, inflammation, oxidative stress and glycation levelsWhy keeping Insulin levels steady is importantGlucose flattening hacksHow the order of food consumption impacts blood sugarWhy curry is good for breakfastVinegar before mealsAnd how a post dinner walk could be good for sleep and cravingsA bit of housekeeping, we discuss normal ranges of glucose in mmol/l as 4.0-7.0 fasted and under 8.0 2 hours after eating. But, your individual target range for your blood sugar levels may be different, especially if you have a metabolic condition and your healthcare team will agree with you what that should be. Do not use this podcast episode or any other material from The Doctor's Kitchen as a replacement for medical advice.It's important to remember that glucose isn't everything. As we say at the end of the pod, just because your glucose level is flat does not necessarily mean that you're eating the healthiest diet and it should be seen as just one of those many levers that we can use to optimise behaviour change and positively impact our physiology.I'm doing a new thing which is our podcast recipe of the week, a recipe that reflects the topic of conversation on the pod!

Hey friends, my guest this week is Rupy Aujla - an NHS medical doctor, entrepreneur and podcaster who's life changed when he suffered a serious heart condition at the age of 23 while working busy shifts as a hospital doctor. But with the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes Rupy was actually able to reverse his condition. He then started his blog, The Doctor's Kitchen, which soon evolved into a podcast, best selling books, regular television appears and most recently an app. In the conversation me and Rupy chat about a lot of things: his early days working as a doctor and burnout, how to optimise your lifestyle for longevity and his transition from a doctor to a creator and entrepreneur.

Technology. The pace of change in our lives is immense. During my relatively short span as a doctor I've witnessed vast changes in how we use technology in medicine, from the books that are now apps, to the large machines that are now handheld devices in addition to genomic sequencing and the promise of personalised medicine.Talking with me today is Nichol Bradford, CEO & Founder of the Willow Group and the Executive Director and co-founder of the Transformative Technology Lab. She co-founded and built transformativetech.org, a global ecosystem dedicated to educating, gathering, and activating wellbeing tech founders, investors, and innovators. She helps founders leverage exponential tech for mental and emotional wellbeing, social and emotional wellness, and human potential.She's also a lecturer at Stanford University, has an MBA from the Wharton School of Business, and attended Singularity University's Global Solutions program.What's even more impressive about Nichol is that she held executive positions at a number of gaming companies including Activision Blizzard and Disney, and as it turns out there is a lot that the wellness industry can learn from these industries.We talk about Nichol's journey to gaming, her experience working in Asia, what transformative tech entails, the health insights that technology can provide us and the emerging technologies that excite Nichol the most.I'm doing a new thing which is our podcast recipe of the week, a recipe that reflects the topic of conversation on the pod!

Allergy is on the rise. It affects 1 in 5 adults, and the rise in children is astonishing.1 in 3 will suffer asthma1 in 6 will suffer eczema And there has been a huge rise in food allergy now affecting 1 in 13 children, including a 5x increase in peanut allergy.All this brings a huge amount of disruption to peoples lives, fear and the rising wait times for allergy clinics is a well known phenomena. Working as a GP and in A&E, I have seen 1000s of children with these issues and that's why I wanted to talk about what things we can do to prevent food allergy using the research available today.Dr Vincent Ho is a clinical academic gastroenterologist and Senior Lecturer at the School of Medicine, University of Western Sydney. He is also a practising gastroenterologist. More recently he published ‘The Healthy Baby Gut Guide‘. A book packed with sensible advice, surprising scientific discoveries and a nutritionist-approved nine-week infant meal plan to help you navigate the introduction of foods for your baby which I think is essential reading for every parent and parent-to-be.There's lot to cover today but by the end of the episode you should be able to understand:The concepts of immune tolerance and the hypotheses behind why we are seeing a riseWhy early exposure to common allergenic food is keyThe genetic and environmental links allergy including BPA and phthalatesWhat the first 1000 days refers to and why this is critical for supporting a normal immune systemHow maternal diet impacts food allergyThe evidence for supplements such as fish oils, probiotics and vitamin D for mothersThe benefits of breast milk, probiotics and a diverse diet for kidsHow to introduce known allergens into your babies diet from 6 months in a systematic and safe manner using an anti-allergy meal planAnd the future for allergy therapyThis is a fantastic episode and if you're looking to get pregnant or have a high risk for allergy, I highly recommend Vincent's book, it's a wonderful resource.I'm doing a new thing which is our podcast recipe of the week, a recipe that reflects the topic of conversation on the pod!

Forgive me if the initial part of this pod is a bit too basic, but I think it's important to get the fundamentals right, give you an understanding of the organ that we're talking about and then bring in the nutritional medicine and lifestyle components.I talk about how we used this information to create recipes in the app to ensure that the recipes in the app are using evidence-based eating principles and ingredients to create flavourful and practical recipes for everyday meals.You'll learn about how the gut is related to skin health, specific nutrients, eating patterns and ingredients that have been researched as well as the mechanisms behind why they improve skin.I'm doing a new thing which is our podcast recipe of the week, a recipe that reflects the topic of conversation on the pod!

You might have noticed over the last few episodes that I've been keen to discuss subjects slightly leftfield of nutrition and what I've traditionally talked about, but fascinating nonetheless. And I hope you as a listener, who's time and attention I value so greatly, will trust me as I take you on a bit of a ride. Because ultimately, I hope you agree that the topics I share are always very important.Mo Gawdat, who you may remember from episode #91 Solving Happiness is a person who I cherish and with whom I had a very impactful conversation with, on a personal level. He was the former Chief Business Officer of Google [X], which is Google's ‘moonshot factory', author of the international bestselling book ‘Solve for Happy' and founder of ‘One Billion Happy'. After a long career in tech, Mo made happiness his primary topic of research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the topic with some of the wisest people in the world on “Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat”.Mo is an exquisite writer and speaker with deep expertise of technology as well as a passionate appreciation for the importance of human connection and happiness. He possesses a set of overlapping skills and a breadth of knowledge in the fields of both human psychology and tech which is a rarity. His latest piece of work, a book called “Scary Smart” is a timely prophecy and call to action that puts each of us at the center of designing the future of humanity. I know that sounds intense right? But it's very true.During his time at Google [X], he worked on the world's most futuristic technologies, including Artificial Intelligence. During the pod he recalls a story of when the penny dropped for him, just a few years ago, and felt compelled to leave his job. And now, having contributed to AI's development, he feels a sense of duty to inform the public on the implications of this controversial technology and how we navigate the scary and inevitable intrusion of AI as well as who really is in control. Us.Today we discuss:Pandemic of AI and why the handing COVID is a lesson to learn fromThe difference between collective intelligence, artificial intelligence and super intelligence or Artificial general intelligence How machines started creating and coding other machines The 3 inevitable outcomes - including the fact that AI is here and they will outsmart usMachines will become emotional sentient beings with a Superconsciousness To understand this episode you have to submit yourself to accepting that what we are creating is essentially another lifeform. Albeit non-biological, it will have human-like attributes in the way they learn as well as a moral value system which could immeasurably improve the human race as we know it. But our destiny lies in how we treat and nurture them as our own. Literally like infants with (as strange as it is to say it) love, compassion, connection and respect.Full show notes for this and all other episodes can be found on The Doctor's Kitchen.com website See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Today I am joined by Barbara Bray MBE- a TEDx speaker and director of Alo Solutions - a consultancy driving and delivering food safety in food supply chains and that helps develop sustainable nutrition strategies for food businesses.Prior to consultancy Barbara worked in the Ugandan agri-business sector after graduation and then spent fourteen years in the chilled foods sector in the UK and France. Her roles covered food procurement, technical innovation and implementation of food safety systems.As well as being a registered nutritionist, she is; Co-founder of the multi-disciplinary platform Healthy and Sustainable Food; Director of the Oxford Farming Conference; Member of the food and nutrition group at the Institute of Food Science and Technology (IFST); and Trustee of the Nutrition Society. In 2019 Barbara was awarded an MBE for services to food nutrition.As part of her Nuffield farming scholarship her project ‘Vegetable Production For Specific Nutritional Need' looked at international food policies and private initiatives to promote consumption of vegetables which benefit our health. On the show today we talk about:Regenerative farmingOrganic vs InorganicBetter farming techniques and the use of AgrichemicalsWhat healthy sustainable diets look like in other countriesHow we can shape our food landscapeThe role of government versus the consumerCheck out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes on this and all other episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
On today's podcast we're taking a step away from the usual conversation and you're going to hear a story. A story about a young man called Raphael Rowe and his career that was born as a result of spending 12 years in a British prison for crimes he did not commit.This story will be triggering for a lot of people. Despite a history of criminality, theft and violence, Raphael found himself a victim of institutional racism that led to his wrongful sentencing and incarceration.This story has somewhat of a positive outcome, however, it pains me to think of how many people are in the same situation as him. With no means of escape.You may recognise Raphael Rowe from his many TV programmes that he has filmed since his release including the highly popular Netflix series “Inside the World's Toughest Prisons”. Raphael visits high security prisons around the world, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Papua New Guinea, Colombia, Brazil, Ukraine to name a few. Inside he films with some of the world's most dangerous prisoners, guards, prisoners' families and politicians and talks to them about crime and punishment. Today I try and dive into the topic of why people commit crimes, the inequalities that may drive criminality, racism at the highest level and to shed light on how far we need to go to tackle injustice. My overarching feeling after reading Raphael's book “Notorious” and listening to his own podcast “Second Chance” is one of sincere gratitude for the freedoms we take for granted everyday. I hope you feel the same after reading his tragic story, pandemic or no pandemic.Raphael is an Advocate for Equality , Justice , Social Reform and Prison Reform. I hope you enjoy his story.Check out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes on this and all other episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Today I welcome the award-winning science communicator, Professor Jim Al-Khalili to the podcast. Renowned around the world through his writing and broadcasting, he is also a leading academic making fundamental contributions to theoretical nuclear physics and quantum biology as you will hear. He is also host of the long running “Life Scientific” on Radio 4.Today's conversation is not just complex, it's confusing. And you'll probably gather throughout our chat, I was pretty confused.

This special bonus episode of The Doctor's Kitchen podcast, brought to you in partnership with The Mayor of London. And today we're going to be talking specifically about the Covid-19 vaccines that are being offered to adults. COVID is still a serious disease. At the time of this recording tens of thousands of cases are still occurring daily which can lead to deaths and potentially long-lasting effects such as Long COVID - a topic we have talked about at length on the podcast with immunologists and researchers in the past. Getting the vaccine is the best way to immediately protect yourself, your family and friends from COVID-19 and reduce the chances of any new variants which can emerge from uncontrolled spiralling cases. This is key and it is truly a global issue. Without a worldwide vaccine strategy we risk further restrictions, uncontrolled spread and the consequences associated with that. Despite the many campaigns to educate the public appropriately, ‘hesitancy' to have the jab still exists, particularly amongst ethnic minorities and the 18-24 year old groups. Today I speak with Dr Sarah Filson an Infectious Diseases and Microbiology doctor working at West Middlesex University Hospital about vaccine hesitancy, how vaccines are manufactured, assessing risk/benefit profiles, why we are living in an ‘infodemic' and how to take a compassionate approach to lack of vaccine confidence in communities.

Have you ever sat down to a meditation or tried it for a period of time and just felt absolutely distracted, like the meditation was perhaps even making things worse? Or perhaps you've dealt with ruminations, recurring thoughts, worry, stress, sleeplessness, all whilst the world and social media are telling you to “Be present”, further deepening your anxiety and feelings of failure? You're not alone. I can certainly identify with some of those thought patterns and Owen O'Kane, former NHS Clinical Lead for mental health in London is on the podcast today chatting to me about how we can achieve happier calmer lives.He is the Sunday Times best-selling author of 'Ten To Zen', which is a quick and simple mental workout that allows us to focus on what's important - our mental wellbeing.

Have you got an exceptional relationship? And I don't necessarily mean a romantic relationship, although that's fantastic if you do, but I'm actually referring to any relationship where you can be your most authentic and vulnerable self. It could be a childhood friend, a work colleague, a family member or spouse. Somebody you can share your true thoughts with. A kind of relationship where you feel fully understood and supported for who you are - it can seem like magic. I'm lucky to say that I have a few of these relationships, but many of us struggle to build these solid connections at work, with friends or at home or perhaps we thought we had one but over time it has degraded?Strong relationships and connections have been shown to be associated with higher levels of life satisfaction, health and happiness. So it stands to reason that we should want to foster exceptional relationships?And the truth is that the process of building and sustaining these relationships can be described, learned and applied. And that's exactly what my two guests on today's podcast have done for decades at Stanford Business School's “Interpersonal relationships”, one of the most popular courses that the MBA programme offers.David Bradford is Eugene O'Kelly II Senior Lecturer Emeritus in Leadership at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he helped develop Interpersonal Dynamics ("Touchy Feely").Carole Robin was the Dorothy J. King Lecturer in Leadership at Stanford, where she taught for more than twenty years before co-founding Leaders in Tech, which brings the principles and process of Interpersonal Dynamics to executives in Silicon Valley. Their new book, Connect is a book about exceptional relationships. Relationships that help us to become more self-aware, and compassionate, so we can build deep, fulfilling, personal connections with a wide range of people in every aspect of our lives. And it is quite simply one of the most moving books I've read.We talk about:Why the course is so popular amongst MBA students of all backgroundsHow they create epiphanies in a 10 week courseWhy soft skills are actually tough talks and courageous conversationsHow it has helped people in business, marriage, team culture, parenting and moreThe arc of a relationshipWhat's a pinch and a crunch and why it's important to address themThe importance of having a vocab of feelingsHow we can use conflict productivelyAppropriate authenticityMaya Angelou's quote of ' I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel'.

Professor Robert Thomas is back on the podcast talking about all things to do with Long COVID and some preliminary results from the UK’s only Covid nutrition intervention trial - The Phyto V study. A randomised double blind placebo controlled trial evaluating the influence of a phytochemical rich whole foods capsule plus a probiotic capsule on clinical outcomes among individuals with covid-19 viral infection. The hypothesis for this study is that starting a nutritional intervention in covid-19 positive patients displaying symptoms could shorten the severity or duration of illness. This may or may not have an impact on Long Covid and there are some anecdotes of benefit, however we can’t say for certain whether it’s useful for everyone.What polyphenols were included in the supplement I hear you ask? The researchers used ones that show promise in other viral illnesses and are found in common foods including: The flavanone polyphenol hesperetin found in citrus fruits; the Anthraquinone derivative aloe emodin found in Aloe Vera; Quercetin, a flavonoid found in, onions, apple, pomegranate and citrus fruits; Apigenin a polyphenol found in parsley, chamomile tea and fruit. Curcumin curcuminoids found in turmeric; ellagic acid found in pomegranate.As a reminder, Professor Robert Thomas is a Consultant Oncologist at Bedford and Addenbrooke’s Hospitals, a clinical teacher at Cambridge University and visiting Professor of Sports and nutritional science at the University of Bedfordshire. He is lead of a Lifestyle and Cancer Research Unit, and is also medical advisor to the website Cancernet.co.uk. Through his amazing work - Prof Robert Thomas has previously been awarded The British Oncology Association’s “Oncologist of the Year” and The Royal College of Radiologist medal. On Today’s podcast you will learn :About the details of the study that is yet to be publishedThe theory behind using a probiotic and a nutrient dense supplementThe tips for covid that are evidence based which could reduce severityThe new study looking at how to potentially enhance the antibody response of the immune system from the vaccine Rather than to try and demonstrate the need for a supplement, what prof hopes to show is that using a polyphenol rich diet may be beneficial to prevent prolonged covid symptoms. The details for the trial and other trials that professor mentions are on theDoctorskitchen.com podcast show notes. We’re doing another podcast dedicated to Robert's new book “How to Live” which I can’t recommend enough, but for that I think it needs its own distinct episode.Please do enjoy this conversation with Professor Robert Thomas and do check out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes on this and all other episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Today I chat with Dr Joanna Herman, a Consultant in Infectious Diseases and during the first wave of the Pandemic, she contracted COVID. Despite being defined as a ‘mild’ case, with no risk factors for severe disease, she is still significantly debilitated by symptoms of ‘Long COVID’, and has been unable to return to work as a hospital physician for the past year. As you will hear on the pod, Joanna is a very well established physician with years of experience. She has taught at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine for 14 years, and has been on the Council of the British Infection Association since 2015. She has worked for Médecins Sans Frontières, is a medical writer, and a specialist medical advisor for the BBC programme Holby City. She is also a qualified Ashtanga Yoga teacher.Joanna wrote for The Guardian about her experience with Long COVID which is how I came upon the story. And it was particularly touching for me as Joanna also has the perspective of a doctor as a patient, and her experience has highlighted a system that is struggling to help those with a condition not yet understood.Last year, Joanna set up a yoga group for people who were experiencing significant lung problems following their COVID infection. Combining medical and yoga knowledge, Joanna has helped them learn how to access their lungs and breathe again, and regain their physical pre-viral strength.There are some absolute nuggets of inspiration that I personally found useful during our conversation and I do hope you enjoy this.Check out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes on this and all other episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Today I’m speaking with Professor Danny Altmann from Imperial College about Covid-19 and the post viral syndrome associated with its infection currently referred to as “Long Covid”. Not a lot is known about this chronic condition which for some people is absolutely debilitating, it could affect 500,000 people in the UK or more and we really need to further research this condition and build the infrastructure to tackle it.Professor Altmann heads a lab at the Hammersmith Hospital Campus of Imperial. Key research interests are the immunology of infectious disease including severe bacterial infections, Zika virus and Chikungunya virus. Other projects focus on autoimmune disease including the role of the microbiota in rheumatoid arthritis.Today we refresh our memories about what we know about covid:Danny gives us a quick recap on the immune systemHow the virus enters cells via the ACE-2 receptor which is found on multiple sites of the bodyThe inflammasome, why it’s useful and what goes wrong with covidThe >50 symptoms of long covid including fatigue, headache, loss of attention and SOBThe theoretical mechanisms of long covid – multi organ fibrosis, persistent undetected infection, AI/inflammatory conditionsThe parallels with other post viral syndromes such as EBV and post EbolaDiagnostic uncertainty in MedicineVaccine and VariantsThe different types of AntibodiesCheck out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes on this and all other episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Dementia is the defining disease of our time. In the UK it’s the leading cause of death, almost a million people suffer with it and 1 in every 14 of the population aged over 65. And it’s growing.The most common type is Alzheimers and the treatment? Well there are none. After decades of research and billions of dollars spent, we have a few drugs that mildly improve symptoms but nothing close to a cure. And so when I came across lifestyle measures including diet, exercise and community based interventions that could reduce the risk of getting dementia by 70, 80 or even 90% I had to get Dr. Dean and Dr. Ayesha Sherzai on the pod to talk about their researchThey are a unique husband and wife team on the cutting edge of brain science, are dedicated to educating people on the simple steps to long-term health and wellness through their work as Directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Medical Center, with patients, as well as through online writing, videos, and books at teamsherzai.comDr. Dean Sherzai is a behavioral neurologist & neuroscientist whose entire life has been dedicated to behavioral change models at the community and population level.

We all get it, right? Eat your vegetables, get a sweat on, drop the soda and stay away from the freakin' donuts. Simple right? Then why the hell does it feel so hard to do those things? And more importantly, why are we facing a food health crisis? And I'm not talking about a shortage of food. I'm talking about a shortage of quality food leading to a massive scale of people being overweight. In fact, according to the NHS 2018' “Statistics on Obesity, Physical Activity and Diet – England”, one in four adults are now classified as obese and 1 in 5 children aged 10 are classified as obese. That's a scary statistic right? And in the US, it is said that today's children will live shorter lives than their parents because of obesity. But thankfully, there are people out there fighting to turn things around and help us make sense of what the hell we can do to get healthier. That's why I'm super excited to share with you today's very special episode. Chances are you've seen his face spread across magazines, newspapers, tube stations and billboards… That's right today's guest is Dr. Rupy Aujla, a GP in the NHS, a passionate home cook and lifestyle medic who is best known for his own podcast, Instagram account and recipe book, The Doctor's Kitchen, dedicated to the evidence based behind nutritional advice. What I love about Rupy is that he believes that what you chose to put on your plate is the most important health intervention you can make. And it's so incredibly refreshing to hear a GP preach the benefits of simple healthy food. As you'll hear in today's episode, Rupy went through his own health scare as a young medic that made him take a serious look at the food we eat and the impact it has on our health. But it wasn't until Rupy was working as an A&E doctor in Australia that he set up the doctor's kitchen as an Instagram account, posting recipes with clinic research behind the ingredients used to help his patients live a healthier lifestyle. What happened next blew his mind. Rupy has since launched a best selling cook book and has been featured on pretty much every single major newspapers, website, magazine and prime time TV, and I really believe his message needs to be heard loud and clear. What I loved about our conversation is that Rupy was courageous enough to open up and talk about what it's really like to try and build a movement as well as share the challenges that come with having a massive online social media following. I know you'll get a lot out our conversation and I can't wait to hear your favourite quote(s) from today's episode over on social media by tagging me @markleruste and #theunconventionalists!

The power of nutrition, growing a business out of passion and wellbeing advice with Rupy from The Doctor's Kitchen, helping everyone to live happier, healthier lives through food and lifestyle medicine We're so excited to be back and for our first episode of series two, we talk to Rupy from The Doctor's Kitchen about how he inadvertently grew a business out of a real passion for helping his patients (and his growing following) to live healthier, happier lives through food and lifestyle medicine. We discuss the power of nutrition and the importance of making the right information accessible to all, how he got started through self-produced YouTube videos and Instagram and, perhaps most importantly, how he plans to change the education around nutrition for doctors studying and practising medicine. We also talk about his new book and accompanying podcast, full of delicious fad-free recipes, a wealth of lifestyle tips and easy to absorb nutritional facts. They both come highly recommended
