About Sports Nutrition
What I Do
I help athletes fuel their bodies so they can hit their peak, on the field or off. Doesn't matter if you're chasing medals or just want to set a new personal record, I build your nutrition plan around your sport and your life.
Who I Work With
- Sprinters aiming for Olympic finals
- Swimmers breaking national records
- Tennis and table tennis champs in the making
- Young athletes looking for the right start
If you're serious about your game, I've probably worked with someone like you.
My Approach
- No one-size-fits-all - every plan is a truly personalized sports diet
- We map out competition meal planning and hydration strategies for athletes so you’re never guessing on game day
- I care about the whole package: gut health, energy, weight management, and yes, enjoying your food
Real Talk
I've got the degrees, but I'm also the kind of person who’ll say, “khana to ho gaya abhi kuch meetha order kar lete hain” (meal’s done, now let’s get something sweet). I love Maharashtrian food, believe in science, but won’t make you eat boring stuff you hate.
Tips I Actually Use
- Water is your best friend, especially in our garmi (heat)
- Cooling foods work wonders—think watermelon, cucumber
- Bloating? Chew slowly, try apple cider vinegar, or roasted saunf (fennel seeds)
Let’s make your nutrition plan as strong as your training. Tilgul ghya, god god bola (take this sweet, speak sweetly) - let’s make your journey a sweet one.

My Story
Hi, I’m Gayatri. Honestly, food comes first for me—always has. Grew up in a Maharashtrian home, puranpoli and katachi aamti on the table, and that’s where my love for nutrition started. I’m big on balance: I’ll eat pizza on vacation, make reels about dessert, and still help you feel your best. My happy place? Helping folks—athletes or not—find what works for them. आणि हा, तिळगुळ घ्या, गोड गोड बोला (take this sweet, speak sweetly).
