Dietitian & Nutritionist

Conditions Treated

• •Diabetes Dietary Management — Medical nutrition therapy is the cornerstone of diabetes management. A structured meal plan can reduce HbA1c by 1-2%.
• •Obesity and Weight Management — Evidence-based weight management through sustainable dietary changes — not crash diets. India is facing a rising obesity epidemic.
• •Chronic Kidney Disease Dietary Management — Kidney patients need precise dietary management — protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus must be carefully controlled.
• •PCOD/PCOS Dietary Management — Dietary modifications including reducing refined carbohydrates and increasing fibre can significantly improve hormonal balance in PCOD.
• •Malnutrition in Children — India has among the highest rates of childhood malnutrition. Therapeutic nutrition can reverse stunting and wasting if addressed early.

Health Tips

• •Eat a balanced Indian thali
• •Don't follow fad diets
• •Read nutrition labels on packaged foods
• •Protein with every meal for satiety and muscle health
• •Stay hydrated — but don't overdo juices and soft drinks
• •Eat mindfully — not in front of screens

How to Prepare for Your Visit

• •Keep a 3-day food diary — write everything you eat and drink with approximate quantities and timings
• •Bring recent blood reports — fasting sugar, HbA1c, lipid profile, kidney function, vitamin D, B12
• •List your food allergies, intolerances, and strong dislikes
• •Note your daily routine — work hours, meal times, exercise habits, and cooking arrangements
• •Be honest about your eating habits — including snacking, late-night eating, and portion sizes
• •Discuss your cooking situation — who cooks, kitchen facilities, and budget constraints
• •Ask about specific Indian alternatives — millets, traditional foods, and regional options
• •Set realistic goals together — gradual changes are more sustainable than drastic overhauls
• •Follow the meal plan for at least 2-4 weeks before judging results
• •Keep tracking your food intake — it helps identify where you deviate
• •Schedule follow-up visits — dietary plans need adjustment based on progress and blood reports
• •Don't restart crash diets or trendy detox programmes — they undo the dietitian's structured approach

• •How much weight loss per week is safe?
• •Are any supplements necessary for me?
• •How do I read food labels?
• •What should I eat before and after exercise?
