#226 5 better ways to enjoy your Carbs with Dr Rupy Aujla
12/13/23 • 38 min
Carbohydrates are a food component that is regularly debated in the nutrition world – they have a bad rep for weight loss and diabetes, but on the other hand they are prioritised by athletes?
There have been quite a few studies on the associations between total carb intake and health outcomes, but still there are still some contradictions and nuances, especially because studies often group all carbohydrates together rather than separating them by food source.
So we did some research to come up with our take on carbohydrates based on the current evidence PLUS how we’re applying it to our meals.
Today we’re looking at 5 ways to eat carbs to maintain blood sugar balance. What’s best for health and some easy rules of them that you can apply every day when you eat carbohydrates so you can enjoy them!

BONUS Donna Hay on Flavour, Fame and Healthy Hacks
You can tell how excited I was to have Donna Hay visit our studio this week! I’ve been an avid fan for years and we were privileged to have her grace our kitchen to record a recipe for our YouTube channel and even jump on the podcast!
Donna Hay is Australia's favourite and most trusted home cook, a household name, and an international food-publishing phenomenon. Donna's 29 books have sold more than 7 million copies worldwide, been translated into 10 different languages, and her television cooking shows have brought her signature style to life for viewers in more than 14 countries.
And when I say signature style, her styling is absolutely iconic and it’s inspired myself as well as many budding home cooks around the world.
Her latest book, ‘even more basics to brilliance’ is a collection of classics that people can always rely on – those dependable, delicious recipes we all want in our bag of tricks. And is a follow on from the previous book “Basics to Brilliance”
Today we talk about:
Injecting flavour into healthy ingredients
Her go to store cupboard and pantry ingredients
What food styling can do to create anticipation around a meal
I was also interested in her own health hacks and how she keeps healthy when travelling. Plus we talk about her business empire and how she maintains a clear brand presence and identity, despite the wealth of touchpoints from books, cookware, magazines and TV shows.

#227 The Benefits of Eating with Friends with Dr Rupy Aujla, Sakina Okoko and Órfhlaith Noone
“How to eat with friends and be healthier”
When was the last time you sat down at a dinner table and shared a meal with friends over laughter and stories?
If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to remember a time in the last couple of days. And if you’re averse to the idea of going through the effort of having to find someone to share a meal with, research shows it has benefits!
Recent studies found that regularly eating with others is linked to feeling happier, more satisfied with life and trusting of others. For children and adolescents, frequent family meals were associated with better health outcomes. But why?
We’ll talk about the evidence based reasons for the health benefits of sharing food around a table, including the evolutionary link as an adaptive benefit from our hunter-gatherer ancestors to the psychological reasons as well as practical benefits!
I’ll certainly be eating with friends twice a week from now on! To talk about this topic I have researcher and science writer at Doctor’s Kitchen Sakina Okoko as well as our food producer for the DK app Órfhlaith Noone.
