I wanted to understand why it happened. That search led me back to nature, to whole foods that nourish our cells instead of just filling our stomachs. At Natureville, I bring that same investigation to you. Whether you visit our cafe in Indiranagar or join my coaching sessions, we are not just counting calories. We are looking at how you can help your body heal itself by giving it the exact conditions it needs to function like the intelligent supercomputer it really is. My journey was not solitary. When I met my partner, Mahalakshmi, we realized our shared vision went beyond just serving food. We wanted to create a sanctuary. Natureville was born out of that desire to provide more than just a meal, it is a space for people to gather, heal, and learn. It is about understanding that food is information for your genes, not just fuel. My background as a flight attendant gave me a worldview, but my cancer diagnosis gave me my purpose. Today, our tribe is made up of people tired of diet confusion, living with chronic conditions like diabetes or PCOD, or simply those seeking more energy in their daily lives. We are not a chain or a franchise. We are a locally rooted community in Bengaluru, focusing on sustainable, oil-free, plant-based living. When you step into our space, you are not just a customer. You are joining a movement that believes in healing from the roots up. Whether you are curious about our sourdough toasties or need help reversing a lifestyle disease, I am here to guide you through the process, one meal at a time. ## About Upasana Bijoor I am Upasana, a plant-based nutritionist and the founder of Natureville. After my own battle with breast cancer, I realized our bodies have an incredible, untapped ability to heal when given the right fuel. I am here to help you stop the guesswork and start eating in a way that actually restores your vitality.
