Could modern life be a little too comfortable for our ancient bodies? This week, I'm exploring the idea that our 21st-century lifestyle might be mismatched with what our biology evolved for and how reintroducing a few ancient challenges could help you feel sharper, calmer, and more resilient.Without going full caveman, there are a few mild and ‘natural' stressors that may have benefits to our bodies and considering how comfortable our lives are today, would require us to purposely reintroduce.I dive into:

What if eating at the wrong time is silently sabotaging your energy, hormones, and mood? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rupy Aujla, medical doctor and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen, to explore how syncing your meals, movement, and light exposure with your circadian rhythm can recalibrate your entire system. Dr. Rupy and I explain how inflammation disrupts your brain and metabolism, why late-night eating throws your hormones off track, and how simple daily rituals can reignite your energy and clarity. We also unpack the science of timing, why joy matters in your healing journey, and how sustainable habits can reconnect you to your body's natural rhythm. This conversation is a refreshing blend of science and soul, practical, grounded, and full of tools to help you feel vibrant again, without the overwhelm. Dr. Rupy Aujla is a medical doctor, best-selling author, and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen, who discovered the power of food as medicine after facing his own health scare in his early twenties. His journey led him to bridge the gap between nutrition and conventional medicine, showing that lifestyle isn't just supportive, it's foundational.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rupy Aujla, an NHS GP and the founder of The Doctor's Kitchen, an app that includes doctor-approved recipes to cook at home. In this conversation, we dive into why cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer worldwide, the connection between cholesterol and heart health, how fiber acts as a “magical nutrient” for the body, how to introduce it into your daily meals, and the role of lifestyle choices in preventing illness and supporting long-term brain and heart health. *** About Dr. Rupy Aujla: After suffering a significant heart condition, he dove deep into the science of nutritional medicine and was able to reverse his condition through food and lifestyle.

The incredible “Doctor's Kitchen” cooking app has over 1000 delicious, science-backed recipes and 20 brand new ones added each month.

It's World Gut Health Day this week (officially known as World Digestive Health Day), and I wanted to do a dive into something I get asked about more frequently. And that's leaky gut.I'm cutting through the supplement marketing and scary-sounding terms to talk about:Why your gut might need support even if you feel totally fineWhy gut health is linked to bloating, fatigue, brain fog and moreWhat “leaky gut” actually meansCan you test for leaky gut, and are the online kits worth itMy favourite foods for a healthy gutFor gut-friendly recipes, check out our collection in the Doctor's Kitchen app and website – all designed with fibre, polyphenols and plant variety in mind to support a healthy gut.

In this week's episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by her good friend Dr Rupy Aujla, a medical doctor, nutritionist, and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen for a deep dive into his new book, Healthy High Protein.   Together, they explore how our relationship with food evolves over time, and why protein and fibre play a far more essential role in our health than many of us realise. Dr Rupy shares how inflammation acts like your body's ‘internal campfire', providing warmth and protection when in balance, but becoming harmful if it burns too intensely.  Whilst working as a newly qualified junior doctor, Dr Rupy faced a life-changing health scare when he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a heart condition that prompted him to reassess his lifestyle and approach to nutrition.   Although diet is not a standalone treatment, the conversation between the experts emphasises the meaningful role diet can play in supporting overall health and restoring balance. Additionally, Dr Rupy shares practical tips on becoming a “good guesstimator” of your protein needs at each meal, along with three simple questions to ask yourself daily to support overall wellbeing.  Available to watch on YouTube   To learn more about Dr Rupy, visit his Instagram: here and check out The Doctor's Kitchen Podcast, here and to listen to his previous conversation with Dr Louise in 2022, click here.   His Doctor's Kitchen app has lots of science backed recipes, all designed with the latest research in nutrition, and you can even choose specific health goals to focus on, such as to supporting gut health, brain health and lower inflammation.

Often misunderstood as simply being about muscles and bodybuilding, protein is, in fact, the fundamental building block of life – forming everything from our DNA and skin to our enzymes and hormones. And today's returning guest believes that many of us are simply not eating enough. Dr Rupy Aujla is a London-based doctor, nutritionist and founder of The Doctor's Kitchen, who is on a mission to make healthy cooking accessible and enjoyable for all. He has authored multiple best-selling cookbooks, including his very latest: Healthy High Protein: Supercharge Your Energy, Feel Stronger and Live Longer.   In this conversation, Rupy challenges the traditional protein recommendations and why he believes that many of us should be focussing on increasing our consumption. He shares how muscle wasting affects around 40% of us as we get older and he explains that this muscle wastage is not just about losing strength – but also affects our metabolism, energy levels and overall wellbeing.    We also delve into the protein content of our breakfasts, the differences between animal and plant proteins, the potential downsides of protein powders, how protein needs change as we get older, and why increasing our protein intake can often reduce our snacking and ultra-processed food consumption.   Whether you're dealing with mid-morning energy crashes, looking to support healthy ageing, or simply wanting to feel better, Rupy's practical wisdom transforms protein-focused eating into something manageable and enjoyable for all.

“High protein” has turned into a bit of a marketing buzzword. I'm seeing it plastered on everything from snack bars to cereals and even crisps. Is this actually necessary? Are we getting enough protein in our diet, or are some of us actually under-consuming this vital macronutrient? Do we need supplements and powders or are whole foods enough? And what about the debate between animal based proteins and plant based?That's why I've put everything I've gleaned from the research and years of cooking into my new book, Healthy High Protein, which is out tomorrow.I'm sitting down with our Science Content Lead, Sakina, to share my take on some of these big questions about protein.We'll discuss:Why I think the protein guidelines are set too lowHow eating more protein affects brain health, metabolic health and energyHow to eat more protein in a healthy way that supports your gut and reduces inflammationPlus, my favourite protein sources and how I use them in recipesBuy Healthy High Protein here

Why has nutrition - something that should be so simple - become so complicated? With 70% of our diet now consisting of ultra-processed foods and conflicting advice everywhere we look, is it any wonder we're confused about what to eat?

Welcome to this quarterly review episode with Sakina, science writer & researcher at Doctor's Kitchen. Every quarter, we pull together insights from recent expert-packed podcasts into one episode - to make it easier to take action.

I'm often asked by colleagues and patients for a full breakdown of what I say in clinic with patients with type 2 diabetes or who are at higher risk of this condition to help them better manage it before medications. But it takes time. And no GP in the NHS or elsewhere has over an hour to explain this in enough detail such that people can understand how to take action themselves.The recommendations for medical professionals is for them to explore diet and lifestyle options before turning to pharmaceuticals for the management of type 2 diabetes. But with less than 10 minutes per appointment, this is an impossible task.This is the basis of today's podcast. If I had an hour with you, or your loved one, this is how I would explain what type 2 diabetes is, why sugar control is so important and what things you can do to prevent or better manage the condition and even potentially put it into remission.I would love to know your comments and feedback on today's episode, so if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment on YouTube and do share this with anyone who you feel could benefit from the information.

The reason why is because there may be potential side effects with antihistamines that people pop every single day for months on end.On today's episode I dive into preventive measures to mitigate our use of these products & keep them for when we really need them. I also touch on the potential harms of commonly used, over the counter medications to make you more aware of the issues and how to avoid potential side effects and longer term impacts on your health.

A number of lifestyle related illnesses have uncontrolled inflammation at its core. Whether that's obesity, heart disease or even dementia, inflammation appears to play a role.I've done a free mini-series on inflammation that you can find on my newsletter, where I talk about the big drivers of inflammation (namely gut health, exercise, sleep and mindset) and we've done a number of episodes on inflammation on the podcast to determine what it is and why we'd all be better reducing it. And on todays podcast I wanted to zoom in on spices in particular.These are by no means the only spices with inflammation reducing potential, but possibly the ones I used most commonly and are likely to have the biggest evidence base.Ginger, Turmeric and Cinnamon are my go to and I get at least one of these spices in my diet daily.

From blood sugar and gut health to inflammation ginger has many people espousing its benefits. There are tons of folklore remedies using ginger for indigestion, headaches, infections. But is there any science to back this up?In the Doctor's Kitchen we want people to learn about the history of food, the nutritional benefits of ingredients so everyone can make an informed decision about their dietWhether you choose to include more or less ginger in your diet is completely up to you, but I hope we can help our healthy foodie listeners to appreciate the science of this incredible spice.Despite the poor evidence or lack thereof in some cases, there are some intangible benefits with all foods whether the science is there or not. Foods evoke memories, which impacts our emotions, our psychological states. There are many things that we can't determine through looking at a clinical trial in isolation. So don't be disheartened and remember to be intuitive about what you feel works for youI do love cooking with ginger for its health and flavour properties. I add it to curries, stews and teas. And as we look to the science and discover more about its health benefits, I think you're going to be inspired to use it more regularly in your diet too.

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!

Today we're wrapping up our podcast year with 5 impactful conversations from 2023. This year has been an incredible journey learning more about food and medicine and I hope you've found the lessons from the podcast as fascinating as I have!First off I share a snippet from my conversation with Dr Robert Lustig (#209 Why a calorie is not a calorie) about whether you can you be a sugar aholic? Robert's passion for this subject is palpable, and perhaps after hearing Dr. Robert Lustig, Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, talk on the subject today, you might be inclined to review your sugar intake yourself?The realisation of our dropping attention spans is worrying. You don't have to ask many people in your network to realise that this phenomenon is not unique. This conversation I had with Johann Hari (#193 Why you can't focus) encouraged me to inject mind wandering into my daily routine.Jessie Inchauspé is now a global phenomena and has influenced millions of people to become more conscious about the impact of sugar spikes on their wellbeing. In this snippet (#144 Flatten Your Glucose Levels), we focus on Jessie's backstory and what led her to pursue a career in science and the revelation of how her own glucose rollercoasters were affecting her health.Professor David Nutt is at the forefront of psychedelic research and on this podcast (#211 Psychedelics and the new era of Psychiatry) he breaks down what these molecules are, the research behind them and why he believes they have great promise for mental health and beyond.And lastly, but by no means least, my conversation with Sheila Dillon (#156 The Power of Food). Sheila's realisation around food and medicine, touching on her own experience of cancer, her sisters and the phenomenal impact of the food programme to spark ideas and challenge dogma in our crazy complicated world of food.

“How to eat with friends and be healthier”When was the last time you sat down at a dinner table and shared a meal with friends over laughter and stories?If you're lucky, you'll be able to remember a time in the last couple of days. And if you're averse to the idea of going through the effort of having to find someone to share a meal with, research shows it has benefits!Recent studies found that regularly eating with others is linked to feeling happier, more satisfied with life and trusting of others. For children and adolescents, frequent family meals were associated with better health outcomes. But why? We'll talk about the evidence based reasons for the health benefits of sharing food around a table, including the evolutionary link as an adaptive benefit from our hunter-gatherer ancestors to the psychological reasons as well as practical benefits!I'll certainly be eating with friends twice a week from now on! To talk about this topic I have researcher and science writer at Doctor's Kitchen Sakina Okoko as well as our food producer for the DK app Órfhlaith Noone.

Carbohydrates are a food component that is regularly debated in the nutrition world – they have a bad rep for weight loss and diabetes, but on the other hand they are prioritised by athletes?There have been quite a few studies on the associations between total carb intake and health outcomes, but still there are still some contradictions and nuances, especially because studies often group all carbohydrates together rather than separating them by food source.So we did some research to come up with our take on carbohydrates based on the current evidence PLUS how we're applying it to our meals.Today we're looking at 5 ways to eat carbs to maintain blood sugar balance. What's best for health and some easy rules of them that you can apply every day when you eat carbohydrates so you can enjoy them!

Today I'm talking about SAD, also known as Seasonal Affective Disorder because I was recently asked to explain it on BBC morning TV. It's surprisingly common and debilitating for millions of people in the UK alone, and frustratingly there is not too much known about the cause and a real lack of research.SAD is also referred to as Winter Depression and may have similarities to depression in the way of symptoms, but it's hard to determine whether there are similarities in the mechanism that drives the symptoms themselves.Today I'll talk about the proposed causes, evidence for diet and lifestyle interventions and what you can do today to help yourselves.

You might've heard the terms nitrates, nitrites or nitric oxide in different contexts. There have been headlines about the “dangers” of nitrites in food, especially in processed meats like ham or bacon. But there's also a lot of talk about the benefits of nitric oxide? It's a very confusing topic, but hopefully after listening to todays podcast you'll understand everything you need to know about these compounds!In this podcast, I'll go through:What nitrates actually are, as well as the terms you might have heard - nitrates, nitrites, nitric oxide and nitrosaminesThe controversy around these compoundsHow the body handles them and their impact on healthWhich foods are the highest in nitrates and why you want to eat them every day

This is an episode about change, and showing how even change that we want and choose can be hard to process.  The wonderful Dr Rupy Ajula is a well known Doctor who founded The Doctors Kitchen and believes that food is a powerful medicine. He has succeeded in life because of his innate warmth and genuine intent to make the world a better place. He talked to me about the challenge of moving from being a practising Doctor in the NHS to being an entrepreneur and businessman.  In this conversation you will hear about: - How tricky it can be to form a new identity and a new sense of legitimacy in a new role. Particularly if it presses your buttons of ‘How much am I allowed' and when it challenges our values of what is ‘good.' - The challenges of building a business that is in public view, and therefore open to the opinions of others. How hard it is to hold trust in one's own purpose and meaning.  - Fascinating insights into what influences us as adults, is what has been modelled for us as a child.  -The strengths and particular nuances of being born a British Asian, how that influences him and inspires him to go forward, and yet his parents wish to protect him from the very risks they took.  - How developing our true self and finding our own identity; sometimes we have to go away in order to be able to come back.  - The amazing power of a gratitude practice. You will hear how this simple practice has shaped and supported Rupy to enable him to be the man he is today. - How gratitude can influence you to reframe what is difficult or negative to something that brings an opportunity. Aligning trust as a guiding force – ‘even not right moves are right moves.' Trust enables him to tap into his innate guiding force and find his path.  - Love is the strongest medicine; how love gives him strength being ‘Held by the hands of the people that love you.' - We discuss the power of food, it is generative as a way of loving family, friends and neighbours. As well, of course as curative physically.  Find more information on Dr Rupy: Website: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/ Instagram: @doctors_kitchen Podcast: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/podcasts/ App: https://thedoctorskitchen.com/app/ Find Julia: Julia's Website: https://juliasamuel.co.uk/ Julia's Instagram: @juliasamuelmbe -- Produced by Georgie Rutherford Learn more about your ad choices.

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. The consequence is that many of us are throwing cheaper ingredients into our shopping baskets to save money. So does this mean that eating healthy is an indulgence that be dropped in favour of cheap ultra-processed food? Or is it still possible to eat healthily on a budget?In today's episode, Jonathan speaks to Dr. Rupy Aujla and Tim Spector to better understand how to eat healthier while spending less:Dr. Rupy Aujla is a medical doctor who, since 2015, has been teaching people to cook their way to health.
