If you've been struggling to balance work lunches, weekend outings, and persistent afternoon energy dips, my 4-week reset program is designed to integrate your actual lifestyle—including traditional Indian staples like Puranpoli—into your routine, rather than banning them. ### Sustainable Nutrition, Not Restrictive Dieting Many diets fail because they ask you to change everything overnight. That isn't how life works. I use my background in sports nutrition and my IOC diploma to create plans that are science-backed but practical. Whether you are an athlete looking to optimize performance or someone struggling with gut health and sugar cravings, my focus is on finding a balance that lasts. ### Why My Approach Works: * **Local Foods are Powerful:** We don't need to force exotic ingredients into your diet. Traditional staples like sesame, jaggery, and local dals are nutritionally dense and comforting. We fit them in, we don't cut them out. * **Science-Backed Personalization:** I analyze your bloodwork, lifestyle, and stress triggers to create a blueprint that actually fits your schedule. * **Real-World Flexibility:** From managing social life and restaurant dining to handling those 'accidental' dessert orders, I provide strategies to stay on track even when life gets busy. ### How We Can Start: * **60-Minute Wellness Audit:** A deep dive to analyze your bloodwork and eating habits, leaving you with a personalized PDF guide to handle gut health and energy management without a long-term commitment. * **4-Week Managed Reset:** A comprehensive program with weekly diet chart updates, bi-weekly progress calls, and priority chat support for when you need to make quick decisions at a grocery store or cafe. I’m here to help you feel energized and confident in your body, not guilty about your plate. Let’s figure out your balance, the fun way. ## About Gayatri Shanbhag Hi, I’m Gayatri.
