If you’re done with random influencer hacks and confusing diets, I help you finally figure out what actually works for *your* body. We get super real. No one-size-fits-all nonsense here. ### How I Work With You - I start by digging deep: we look at your blood work, symptoms, and the whole health story. Not just surface stuff. - We build your *personalised nutrition plan* using actual data. Your metabolic and hormonal quirks decide the menu, not trends. - Indian home food is my go-to. Dal, sabzi, khichdi… simple stuff, easy on the gut, way better than expensive health foods. ### What We Tackle - Gut health support: Fix acidity, bloating, constipation, all starting from the root. - Hormonal balance nutrition: PCOS, thyroid, menopause, stress - I help you manage these with food first. - Chronic inflammation relief: We spot triggers and cut them out, so you feel less sluggish. - Nutritional deficiencies: Vitamin D, B12, iron - we sort these with food, not just supplements. ### It’s Not Just About Weight Weight loss happens, but there’s more. We work on sleep, stress, and movement too. Cheat meals are part of the plan, because food should be enjoyed, not feared. Every 10 days, we check in and make tweaks. The goal? You feel good, inside out. ## Highlights Browse through Anupama Menon's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/theanupamamenon/clinical-nutrition-lifestyle-coaching/featured) - [Video: You think eating 1200 calories should make you lose weight, but you're gaining instead.

My white hair? I wear it like a badge - every strand means something. I started out tired of all the ‘healthy’ fads and quick-fix promises. India’s got the real gut health secrets in our kitchens, not in fancy packets. I’m the Cheat Guru. No banning foods, no guilt trips. Real food, good sleep, moving daily - that’s my jam. ### My work - **Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching**: I help you lose weight, manage inflammation, balance hormones, and fix gut health. - **Personalized Plans, No Guesswork**: Your diet plan is made for your body, based on your blood tests and habits. - **Indian Home-Cooked Nutrition**: We keep it simple - dal-rice, khichdi, idli. No imported stuff, just food your body knows. - **Cheat Meal Strategy**: Learn my 3-cheat-meal formula. Eat what you love, and still see results. No guilt. - **Find Your Trigger Foods**: We spot foods messing with your progress and cut them out to break plateaus. - **Holistic Health Sync**: Diet, training, sleep, meal timing - I help you get these all working together. ## More services from Anupama Menon - [Sustainable Weight Loss Coaching](https://mytribe.in/theanupamamenon/sustainable-weight-loss-coaching) · ₹7-30K per program (estimate) ## Book To book Anupama Menon, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Clinical%20Nutrition%20%26%20Lifestyle%20Coaching%20by%20Anupama%20Menon.)
