Dietitian Features, Nutrition Workshops & Expert Insights
I believe in sharing evidence-based nutrition knowledge that helps you unlearn fad diet myths and return to the healing power of home-cooked Indian meals.
I was excited to share my insights on the magic of makhana (fox nuts) in the Hindustan Times. This Indian superfood is a powerhouse of protein, fiber, and antioxidants, making it a perfect snack for weight loss and PCOS-friendly diets.
Thrilled to be featured in the Deccan Chronicle, where I discussed the truth about monodiets. I always emphasize sustainable, balanced nutrition over quick-fix fad diets that often lead to nutritional gaps.
My views on the dangers of ultra-processed foods were featured in the Deccan Chronicle. It's so important for consumers to be aware of what they are eating and to prioritize whole, home-cooked meals.
A snippet from my feature in the Deccan Chronicle. I emphasize that home-cooked meals are the best defense against the health risks associated with ultra-processed foods.
In this article, I explain that while "Ready to Make" foods are convenient, they are often high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, and lack essential nutrients, contributing to various health issues.
My advice in the Deccan Chronicle is simple: avoid over-reliance on ultra-processed foods. Small steps, like planning meals and incorporating more whole foods, can make a huge difference to your health.
I was delighted to be featured in Hello! India magazine, where I discussed 5 reasons to include berries in your summer diet. These tiny fruits are packed with antioxidants and are great for immunity and gut health.
I had an incredible experience conducting a health awareness program on healthy diet for school children in Delhi. It's so important to fuel young minds and bodies with the right knowledge from an early age.
Here I am, engaging with students during the "Healthy Diet" awareness program. Their curiosity and energy were inspiring, and it was a joy to teach them about nutrition.

About As Seen On: Media & Workshops
When you see my work in the Hindustan Times or the Deccan Chronicle, you will notice a consistent theme: no fad diets. My media features are not about selling a quick fix. They are about proving that the solution to hormonal balance, weight loss, or gut health lies in the traditional, home-cooked food you already have. I am here to show you that sustainable health is about education and habits, not deprivation.
My goal in participating in media discussions and conducting school workshops is to strip away the confusion surrounding nutrition. In an age of 'superfoods' and complex diet charts, I advocate for the basics—ghee, millets, and seasonal produce—that our grandmothers relied on.
Why I Focus on Education
Whether I am writing for the Deccan Chronicle about the dangers of mono-diets or explaining nutrition to school children in Delhi, my focus remains the same: sustainable health. Too many people are misled by trends that promise fast results but cause long-term nutritional gaps. My media features are a way to reach a wider audience and provide clarity on critical issues like PCOS management, insulin resistance, and the harmful effects of ultra-processed foods.
Practical Nutrition for Daily Life
It is not just about reading an article; it is about applying that knowledge. My approach focuses on:
- Myth-Busting: Separating fact from fiction regarding common Indian kitchen staples.
- Clinical Relevance: Providing actionable advice on how to manage diabetes and cholesterol through mindful eating.
- Building Habits: Teaching that a healthy lifestyle is not a short-term project but a daily choice.
If you have been struggling to find a sustainable diet plan that actually includes the food you enjoy, these articles and workshops offer a glimpse into my philosophy. We do not starve to get healthy. We eat smarter, and we eat with purpose.
