‘Food is Medicine’ will form the theme for guest speaker Dr Rupy Aujla at this year’s Health Food Institute (HFI) lecture and luncheon on 15 March.
As an NHS GP and a firm believer in the power of food and lifestyle change as medicine, Aujla will shape his lecture around this concept for delegates attending the annual event, to be held at Royal Over-Seas House, London.
“As a doctor, I see the effects of poor dietary and lifestyle choices every day. I got so many questions about nutrition whilst working as a general practitioner that I plucked up the courage to get behind the camera and literally show my patients how to get phenomenal ingredients onto their plate. I’m just a straight-talking doctor giving healthy eating inspiration,” says Aujla.
The talk will also cover the body’s ability to ‘self-heal’ and will outline what Dr Rupy calls ‘an ideal model to address healthcare issues’.
