Dr Rupy Aujla

Dr Rupy Aujla, MBBS, BSc, MRCGP, MSc is a London-based doctor, specialising in general practice and emergency medicine, a nutritionist and founder of The Doctor’s Kitchen. He hosts The Doctor’s Kitchen podcast, YouTube channel and Doctor’s Kitchen recipe app that helps people use evidence-based food and lifestyle medicine to live healthier, happier lives. He also regularly appears on TV programmes such as This Morning and Saturday Kitchen. 

Rupy’s 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. Influenced by the teachings of both ancient and modern medicine, underpinned by his own clinical experience, Rupy creates recipes that optimise health.  

In 2017, he founded Europe’s first non-profit Culinary Medicine programme for medical schools that teaches undergraduates the foundations of nutritional medicine and how to cook. Keen to learn more about the transformative impact of food and nutrition on health, he studied the Nutritional Medicine MSc at Surrey in 2018.

Rupy says:

"Studying for my MSc in Nutritional Medicine at Surrey was a really formative experience. With excellent lecturers and tutors, the course was grounded in science but also practical, so I could take what I was learning and immediately apply it to my day-to-day work. I firmly believe that the course gave me the additional knowledge and tools to make a real difference in what I do – helping people feel better and improving their health using food as medicine."
