Clinical Nutrition for Chronic Conditions
I don't believe in quick fixes or starving. My approach uses clinical nutrition—ghee, greens, and your favourite local foods—to help you manage PCOS, diabetes, and autoimmune issues sustainably.
PCOS is a common hormonal issue I help many women with. In this video, I introduce the concept of seed cycling, using phytoestrogens from plants to naturally balance your hormones. We use pumpkin, flax, sunflower, and sesame seeds to manage symptoms like irregular periods and weight gain.
Endometriosis is a painful condition, but nutrition can play a huge role in managing it. I explain how foods rich in Omega-3s, Vitamin D, and magnesium, like fish, eggs, and leafy greens, can help reduce inflammation and control the tissue buildup.
That burning sensation could be GERD. Here, I explain what GERD is and share practical tips to manage the discomfort, such as eating smaller, frequent meals, avoiding spicy food and alcohol, and not lying down immediately after eating.
Autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's, Lupus, or Rheumatoid Arthritis require a specialized approach. I discuss the specific blood tests we can use to identify the issue and how an anti-inflammatory diet, combined with stress management and yoga, can help manage your symptoms.
Worried about high blood pressure? We always blame salt, but sugar is a major culprit too. I explain in Kannada how excess sugar causes water retention and arterial blockages, increasing your risk. Cutting down on white sugar is just as important as reducing salt.
Period pain can be debilitating, but you don't always need medication. I share three simple remedies: ginger tea, chamomile tea, and peppermint tea. These teas have antioxidant and muscle-relaxing properties that can naturally ease cramps.
A simple, powerful home remedy for period cramps. Just one spoon of ghee in a cup of hot water can work wonders. This traditional practice helps soothe the system and provides relief without any side effects.
Infertility is a growing concern, and nutrition can significantly improve your chances of conceiving. This video outlines key foods for both women and men, focusing on leafy greens, healthy fats, and lean proteins for her, and zinc-rich foods and antioxidants for him.
A deeper dive into the female menstrual cycle. I explain the roles of the four key hormones: FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone. Understanding this hormonal dance is the first step to identifying imbalances and correcting them with nutrition and lifestyle changes.
About Nutrition for Chronic Conditions
We don't start with a 'diet' because generic charts rarely work for clinical conditions. First, we sit down with your latest blood reports—HOMA-IR, thyroid panels, or vitamin levels—to see exactly what your body is struggling with. We use this data to identify hidden inflammation or insulin resistance, creating a plan that fits your life without giving up the comfort foods you love. Whether it's managing a flare-up or adjusting your lifestyle, the goal is always sustainable health.
Understanding Your Body, Not Just Counting Calories
Most clients come to me after trying every fad diet in the book. Yen mad'bodhu neevu? (What to do, right?) The frustration of restrictive eating is real, but it is rarely the solution for chronic conditions like PCOS, diabetes, or autoimmune issues. My focus is on clinical nutrition, which means we look at the root cause of your discomfort.
The Process
We start by auditing your current health. This involves analyzing your bloodwork—looking at markers like HOMA-IR for insulin resistance or your TSH levels. We then look at your lifestyle: how you sleep, how you handle stress, and what you actually enjoy eating. We don't remove your biryani or coffee; we learn how to time them, pair them with the right vegetables, and use portion control to prevent sugar spikes.
Why This Works
For autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto's or inflammatory issues like endometriosis, I guide you through an anti-inflammatory diet that emphasizes real, whole foods—ghee, ragi, greens, and healthy fats. We also integrate movement, from simple pranayama for stress management to targeted yoga asanas for hormonal balance.
My studio in Indiranagar is where we conduct in-person metabolic assessments, using bio-impedance analysis to track your visceral fat and muscle mass. If you are tired of guesswork and want a protocol that treats the root cause rather than just the symptoms, let's sit down and look at your reports together.
