I’m often asked why I do what I do. These talks and insights are the ‘why’ behind my journey—from finding healing in nature to understanding that food is truly our farmacy.

## Photos and videos

- [Video: My take is simple: food is our medicine because nature designed it to heal us. When we eat food the way nature serves it, it contains all the properties of medicine. We don't need to look for cures in a bottle when nature provides the remedy on our plates.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/61d05655-61a9-46c4-8546-7d55031d85f8)
- [Video: People often confuse "vegan" and "plant-based." The food philosophy is the same: no meat, no dairy. But being vegan is a choice of compassion for all sentient beings. Being plant-based is often focused on health. I turned vegan for my health, but I stay vegan for the joy of compassion.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c5c89378-4159-468d-9042-e1a9f6b52ced)
- [Video: Being healthy shouldn't feel like a punishment; it must be a joyful part of life. I trained myself to pause and ask, "Nidhi, are you really hungry? Do you really need this?" It took constant practice, but this simple habit of checking in with myself has been the key to mindful eating.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e59c7a60-9f34-4efd-b8e2-3c5d1c7d7af2)
- [Video: We all engage in emotional eating sometimes, knowing it leads to weight gain and other issues. What helped me was asking three simple questions before eating: Why am I eating this? What good will it do? What are the consequences? This simple check-in can stop an unhealthy choice in its tracks.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/955258dc-c17b-4277-bfff-22b8d0b3fcaa)
- [Video: The biggest challenge in starting my restaurant was that there was no demand for whole-food plant-based food. I had to create it. Even today, many people know about veganism, but the concept of avoiding all refined products like oil, sugar, and white flour is still new. My mission is to make this healthy way of living understood and accessible.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/44933bf8-9743-409f-b8bd-fddc5409adb4)
- [Video: We get so happy eating sweets, but we forget that what we truly crave is the sugar, not the dessert itself. If you remove the sugar, you wouldn't want a second bite. Natural sweeteners like dates and raisins are wholesome and satisfying in small amounts. The minute you need to eat too much of something, it's a sign that something is wrong with it.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/63ffcb54-cc48-4ac5-8341-7050c13d45ee)
- [Video: Gandhiji said, "There is enough on this planet for everyone's needs, but not for everyone's greed." This is so true for food. Nature provides everything we need in the form of fiber. When we eat refined foods, we throw away the nutrients and fiber, which makes us eat more. Eating fiber-rich foods like millets, legumes, and vegetables keeps you full and nourished.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c33aec8d-b104-4500-b12c-c6b1361c9f52)
- [Video: We all wear so many hats and often feel burnt out. My secret to keeping my brain sharp and my energy high is raw food. My daily smoothies, packed with nutrients and fiber, are essential. Our brain needs good food, just like it needs water, sunlight, and exercise.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/782bd4a2-07b9-4221-950c-c20c3fb9305f)
- [Video: Just one conscious meal can make a huge difference. When you choose a plant-based meal, you are contributing to your own health, showing love for animals, and helping create a safer planet. When we act from this powerful intention, we start finding alternatives and making a real impact.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/72c716c0-6d06-4f78-936b-fb685579ce52)
- [Video: I used to wonder how one person could make a difference, until I went vegan. I saw my family members follow, then my restaurant staff, and now the thousands of guests who choose a plant-based meal at Justbe. It proves the saying, "एक बूंद बूंद करके ही समुंदर बनता है" (an ocean is formed drop by drop).](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/52c08dd9-4d00-4050-b01d-22b83a5f2c6d)
- [Video: As women, we should celebrate ourselves. I believe the most interesting person on earth is myself, not out of ego, but because I've spent time finding myself. When you discover the interesting things within you, you stop judging others and finding faults.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1a7873e0-c662-41ae-80f4-d18dda28dc17)
- [Video: I choose me, at every age, in every role, on my terms. As a wife, mother, and now grandmother, I've heard that I will have to change. But I made a promise to myself to live on my own terms and never forget myself. No one else can find my joy for me.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bbb02b3c-612f-4bd2-a986-48f71ac7453e)
- [Video: This year is about watching, feeling, and just being. The journey of self-love isn't perfect. I've stumbled and doubted, but every misstep has taught me to be connected to life yet not consumed by it. I embrace this vibrant version of me, a work in progress.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d14ecf7a-2040-49f6-8c7b-0f044169f45a)
- [Video: My journey with food has been about finding my own rhythm. It's about recognizing the pull of old habits but consciously choosing the path that aligns with my soul. Awareness is everything. It's the quiet voice that asks, "Is this truly where I want to be?"](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6d30aead-8328-4ad7-aec3-b72a549cb3c8)
- [Video: This Diwali, I want to share a powerful realization. When we say NO to what doesn't align with our values, it's not about loss; it's an act of self-respect. Saying NO to things that drain us means saying YES to peace, purpose, and joy.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f6852700-3d96-47f0-9f6a-0fdfe2f524b2)
- [Video: I am madly in love with Nature's Farmacy! I used to think healthy food meant sacrificing joy, but I've learned that true celebration is about nourishing my body and soul. I've embraced my 2.0 self, and I couldn't be happier.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ed5a501c-c35d-4126-8af3-219030ccc4a6)
- [Video: Letting go is the doorway to healing. It starts with letting go of people who no longer serve your growth and food that harms you. Every bite matters. Don't wait for a disaster to force a change. Free your soul today.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/843f0479-83af-4901-b4c3-32d8f8a4a924)
- [Video: When we order food, we often don't know the ingredients. That's why I'm so mindful at my restaurant, Justbe, where we serve food that loves you back. The easiest way to start is by adding more raw fruits and vegetables to your diet. Your body recognizes nature's food.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/dbd679a7-c62e-480e-a8ea-acdf204e27e3)
- [Video: Mindful eating starts with a mindful thought. For me, practicing Vipassana meditation taught me what mindfulness truly means. It all comes down to connecting with our breath, our core existence. These are life skills that should be our innate nature.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0664e9c6-1d53-44b9-a66c-e35729ae9ef3)
- [Video: Every Mother's Day, my heart cries for the mother cow. She gives away everything: her baby, her milk, her skin, her flesh. I can only truly celebrate the day she gets liberation. My prayer is for us to awaken our dormant compassion.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e8a56072-b5eb-4953-af45-57d8f11d4315)
- ![I often wonder how junk food became so popular. We didn't have the courage to say NO, and now we find ourselves in a world where our conditioning has changed. We must muster the courage to say NO before it's too late.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/42cfb81d-ce1c-4f4d-8f38-ea2936c9c8e1)
- [Video: Everyone wants to lose belly fat, but no one wants to change what they eat. They'll try whey protein, ab exercises, even surgery, but not change their food. The myth is that we gain weight from not exercising. The truth is, 80% of our body composition is determined by what we eat.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/072dd51d-85b5-4cd5-a192-713786aecbdf)
- [Video: I begin my day with the Mangal Geet, a song for universal well-being. It helps me shift my energy from thinking only of myself to wishing well for everyone. This practice empowers me to radiate positive vibes and happiness throughout the day.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/18a3b4ea-1333-4036-87ee-926c52809a1c)
- [Video: My frequency is simple: I say yes to life, and life has to say yes to me. The universe responds to our vibration. If we vibrate with fear, we attract fear. If we vibrate with love and joy, we attract more of the same. It's about tuning into the energy you want to manifest.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e1e06f24-b68e-4371-a59e-88f3f850d0ad)
- [Video: Diwali has changed for me. It used to be about crackers and endless sweets. Today, it's about mindfulness. The festival celebrates good over evil, and for me, that means working on the evil within and bringing out the good every single day. Diwali is every day.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9b8fe80f-217e-42ef-b3a2-97d8be6ce03e)
- ![When women come together to celebrate each other and create opportunities, it adds a touch of brightness to the whole world. I was honored to be part of this event, empowering and uplifting fellow women.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/381b0b78-c9a5-41d2-b742-e823d976a33b)
- ![Being on a panel with these inspiring women reminds me of the power we have when we support one another. Every conversation and shared story helps build a stronger community for all of us.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/53c0844d-ed9f-4def-b6fc-d2915d846b18)
- [Video: Life is a melody of moments. To celebrate life is to savor the richness of the present, despite its imperfections. It's recognizing that every sunrise brings new opportunities and every shared laugh is a treasure.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0e33775d-c53b-477b-88f0-0a2ba19ff2bc)
- [Video: Whenever I feel low, I turn to my Louise Hay affirmation cards. Today's message: "My life is a mirror. The people in my life are real mirrors of me." This reminds me to stop judging others and look within, as every interaction is an opportunity to grow.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/64ee2a9f-fda5-4e4e-94c0-d8bceea6f509)
- [Video: I express my love through cooking. Whether at home, in my restaurant, or during a cooking class, nurturing and caring comes naturally to me. When you eat my food, you can be sure it's made with the four main ingredients: connection, care, love, and memories.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/377b6f19-49ee-47f8-b0af-820ed444cc43)
- [Video: We are born with the natural instinct to be loving and heart-centered. Where do we lose it? We lose it when we start judging ourselves and others, trying to perform instead of just being. It's sad, but we can always find our way back.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5f28be46-f4b7-436d-88e8-8179709ec3eb)
- ![It's essential to recognize that a significant majority of today's health issues stem from our lifestyles. The way we live, including our diet, activity level, and stress management, heavily influences our well-being.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2dea12ad-bde9-4a75-ac90-e6cf4e7fff85)
- [Video: My "Sprout Me Up" salad is a complete meal replacement. It's packed with sprouts, quinoa, and avocado, and topped with flax seeds for Omega-3s. I believe in including nuts and seeds in every meal, which is why all our salads and even soups at Justbe are designed to be nutrient-dense.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/fc96a398-2527-450d-860d-bbceb7d48ea7)
- [Video: When someone says they are bored, I feel they are missing a relationship with books. Books talk to me; they share life stories and perspectives. I started reading late in life, and my advice is simple: don't waste a single day. Start today.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a3e05148-a785-4032-9375-3e2ba7a513b6)
- [Video: What is my business mantra? Give your 100% in whatever you are doing. Don't search for something to love; instead, love whatever you are doing. That is the key to finding joy and success in your work.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b17e1c89-e00a-419d-a75b-70da0017504a)
- [Video: I value myself by not missing my exercise, by not eating junk food, and by showing up as my best self every day. When I look in the mirror, I can say, "I love you." When you don't take yourself for granted, no one else can either.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a5a6e71e-6617-4eef-9402-ed1add20c0a2)
- [Video: The most important lesson I have learned is that the most important person on earth for me is myself. Loving myself has been incredibly beneficial, as it has enabled me to understand how to love others as well.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e18ce300-d142-418a-b4a5-4eb2e39b7630)
- [Video: The hospitality industry is male-dominated, and I was advised to be less friendly and accessible. But that wasn't me. I believe a woman should never give up her feminine energy. We possess enough love and care to spread, which is far more powerful than trying to adopt a masculine approach.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a3b6be7b-6860-4856-a98e-6f0a9c38083e)
- [Video: My work has become my passion. Whether I'm writing recipes, creating scripts for social media, or developing articles for magazines, I get to be creative every morning. When your work aligns with your lifestyle, it becomes a joyful playground.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/24b5278e-2061-491e-8841-76ef6e072c02)
- ![Behind every healthy body is a story, and that story begins with mindful choices. The journey to wellness requires discipline and dedication, but every step you take towards a healthier lifestyle is a victory.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/715de2f5-f1fa-40ab-bfa5-40fa3632be2c)
- [Video: My simplest mantra is to breathe well. I've learned to control my body's temperature just through my breath. It's a powerful tool that shows how connected our mind and body are. It's simple, and it's to the point.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bdbf2222-0b3c-4684-b9e3-38360c084c7b)
- [Video: Passion is contagious. Working with my son, I see his selfless passion for making plant-based food accessible to everyone. We see vegan pizzas for 900 rupees and it reinforces our mission. We don't want to walk fast and alone; we want to walk far, together.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/406450db-c8d1-4afe-ac47-9bb2c9f1841c)
- [Video: I was invited to create a vegan meal at a hotel, and the chefs were not happy. But my focus wasn't on their egos; it was on the food. My goal was to make a compassionate, vegan meal possible. Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/5475359b-e699-4862-9245-98f6c20db563)
- [Video: It's strange how we scrutinize natural food but blindly trust packaged goods. We'll complain about a hair in our food at a restaurant but never question the chemicals and preservatives in a box from the supermarket. If you agree, let me know what you think.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/39de17e0-88a6-40d7-8fd0-136fb21a3cc4)
- [Video: I am often asked, "Don't plants have life too?" The most important thing is to be convinced of your own beliefs. We all have the right to experiment and find our own truth. For me, the journey of discovery is what matters.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/46e17950-35a4-4fda-8cd1-15b7570b8f32)
- [Video: We are meant to be healthy. That's how nature designed our bodies and grew everything on earth that our body needs. It's our choices that are interfering with nature's design.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/dbfd444c-bdbf-48c7-b390-c2da04e34e6e)

## About My Philosophy: Talks & Insights

My talks are not lectures. Whether I am standing in a corporate boardroom or a community hall, I focus on the 'why'—why I reversed my own health struggles, why my nani found her strength again, and why nature's pharmacy is often the only medicine we really need. Let’s connect to discuss how to bring this clarity, practical health wisdom, and mindful living approach to your next event, workshop, or team session.

I believe that we are what we eat, and when we choose whole, plant-based foods, we are choosing to honor our bodies instead of just fueling them like machines. My journey from a homemaker to the founder of India's first whole-food plant-based restaurant taught me one thing: change is possible at any age if you have the right mindset. 

In my sessions, I strip away the complex nutrition jargon and focus on what actually works. I cover the core pillars of a conscious life: 

- Food as Medicine: Why I stopped treating my body like a car that needs the wrong fuel and started focusing on nutrient-dense, fiber-rich whole foods to reverse lifestyle diseases.
- Mindful Eating: It is not about restrictive dieting. I teach you how to ask yourself, 'Am I really hungry?' before you eat, and how to break the cycle of emotional eating that leads to high blood pressure and sugar issues.
- Conscious Living: From Vipassana meditation techniques to finding your rhythm in a busy world, my talks offer tools for mental clarity and stress relief.

Whether you are a corporate team looking for a speaker on leadership and gut health, or a group wanting to learn the practicalities of zero-oil, dairy-free cooking, my goal is to make healthy living accessible and joyful. I do not promise overnight results, but I do promise a shift in perspective. If you are ready to stop cheating your body and start nourishing it, let’s talk.

## About JustBe

I’m Nidhi, and my life changed the day I stopped treating my body like a machine and started feeding it the fuel nature intended. I’m not here to preach; I’m here to share stories of how a simple shift in what is on your plate can truly reverse your path to health.
