Hello, hi and welcome. I am your host, Emma Gonna Wardner, and in my nearly 20 year career as a beauty and health writer I have interviewed a lot of people.

Supermodels, entrepreneurs, authors, celebrities and doctors and many of these conversations

had a real impact on me and I'd come away feeling inspired, excited, informed and really

empowered and at the back of my mind I'd always think I wish I could just

publish the tape so people could really feel that conversation. Well on this podcast you get to feel the conversation.

I talk with experts, guests and a few friends who I hope will inspire, inform and empower you.

And maybe also challenge you whether you're looking for self-help

self-improvement beauty advice health insights business know-how or just some good

old-fashioned life advice and a bit of a laugh it's all here. Welcome to the show.

My guest in this episode of the podcast is Dr. Rupi Orgula, who you may be familiar with from the Doctor's Kitchen.

Rupi is an NHS medical doctor here in the UK and the founder of the non-profit culinary medicine UK,

and his expertise in the area of food as medicine is something I really wanted to unpick with him.

Ruby is a firm believer in the very real power of food and lifestyle change as medicine.

That's right.

Making tweaks to your diet and lifestyle having a very real and tangible impact on your overall quality of health.

And this doesn't come from a preachy place of do as I say.

Ruby transformed his own health by changes in his diet and lifestyle and I'll let him tell you that

story because it is something we cover in the show but the results were so

impressive and real that he started to spread the message that the best method for

boosting health comes down to food and lifestyle.

As he says in his book Eat to Be Illness, I believe that what you choose to put on your plate

is one of the most important health interventions you can make.
