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?

Today’s returning guest is my good friend, Dr Rupy Aujla, who is on a mission to make healthy cooking accessible and enjoyable for all. He’s a medical doctor, nutritionist and founder of The Doctor’s Kitchen and author of five best-selling books.

If you haven’t heard Rupy’s story before, his life was changed after suffering a significant heart condition in 2009. After learning about nutritional medicine, he was able to reverse his condition using a food and lifestyle approach. Today, Rupy is constantly creating tasty recipes that help people optimise their health and he shares them – yes, in his cookbooks – but, also, in his wonderful Doctor’s Kitchen recipe app that helps over 10,000 people each week use evidence-based food and lifestyle medicine, to live healthier, happier lives.

In this fantastic conversation, you’ll discover:

• The science of burning fat and why calorie counting often fails in the real world
• Four evidence-based principles for sustainable weight management that don’t require strict tracking
• Why ultra-processed foods lead to overconsumption and how to naturally reduce them in your diet
• The power of single-ingredient foods and how they can transform your health – and why protein at breakfast is crucial for appetite regulation throughout the day
• Why eating dinner a little bit earlier, can significantly impact our metabolism and weight
• How the quality of our sleep directly affects our food choices and the connection between emotional eating and our relationship with food
• Why different diets work for different people, how to find your personal approach and practical tips for implementing healthy changes while maintaining a busy lifestyle

This conversation strips away the complexity of nutrition, offering clear, actionable strategies that anyone can implement.

So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation offers a practical roadmap forward, showing you how simple – and enjoyable – healthy eating can be.
