“Dr. Rupy is part of the new generation of physicians teaching people that food is medicine.”
— Dr. Mark Hyman, MD

In 2011, Dr. Aujla helped overcome his own medical problem by diving into the research and figuring out how lifestyle impacted his condition. He realized that patients could benefit from a doctor explaining the evidence-based benefits of healthy living, which is exactly what he does. Through a holistic view of the body and mind, combined with conventional medical practice, we can achieve great things.

Not only does he create delicious recipes on his website and social media channels including Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, Dr. Aujla also talks about the amazing clinical research behind the ingredients he uses.

He has two best-selling cookbooks published by Harper Collins: ‘The Doctor’s Kitchen’ and his second book ‘Eat to Beat Illness’; which was released in the United Kingdom in March 2019 and is soon to be released in the US in September this year, and quickly become a UK Sunday Times Bestseller.
