My Journey: From Engineer to Holistic Nutritionist

How It All Started

Back in 2005, I moved to Bengaluru for my first corporate job. Like many of you, I was energetic but completely lost in the hustle. Between deadlines, canteen cakes, and the demands of life, my health took a backseat. It took becoming a mother and hitting a low point to realize that the 'corporate lifestyle' I was living was silent sabotage.

Why I Switched to Nutrition

I am a computer science engineer by training, and I still use that logic-driven mind today. When I decided to lose weight, I didn't want random advice. I started applying the same analytical rigor to my diet that I used to apply to code. I realized that the answer wasn't in western fads or expensive supplements. It was in the traditional, local, and seasonal foods we grew up with. Dal, chawal, roti, and sabzi were never the problem—modern, processed living was.

What I Bring to the Table

My work is built on three pillars:

• Practicality: I don't offer theoretical, unachievable meal plans. I teach you how to manage nutrition while working a 9-to-5, handling household chores, or dealing with PCOS/thyroid issues.
• Science-Backed Simplicity: Whether I am consulting for corporate wellness workshops or working with individual clients, I focus on what actually moves the needle—consistent, small changes.
• Community Support: I know that the hardest part of any health journey is the isolation. That is why I create support groups where we track real habits, not just numbers on a scale.

Today, I run KuKClean and conduct workshops across Bengaluru, helping teams and individuals unlearn the myths of the health industry. If you are tired of quick fixes and want a roadmap that actually respects your roots and your lifestyle, let's talk.
