“Your IDENTITY is unique. Then why not your NUTRITION? I can help you identify your Bioindividual Nutrition.”
You need the unique Bioindividual Nutrition to transform your health not one size fit all diet !
What is so unique about Bioindividual Nutrition?
Think of two people in the same family of who are dear friends. In one woman’s life, she develops severe acid reflux a few months after the birth of her child. Her gastroenterologist puts her on a course of antacids but it just does not get any better. In fact, it gets worse. Her dear friend advises her on home remedies for acid reflux, a miracle drink which worked magically on her, and sends her links to 10 ways to cure acid reflux. None of it work, and eventually she develops severe inflammation of her Esophageal Spinchter and secondary symptoms of nausea, dizziness, headaches, vertigo and motion sickness. In this weakened terrain of her upper digestive system, bacteria start to attack and she is advised an Endoscopy and further tests for Heliobacterpylori. A course of strong antibiotics further erodes the mucous membranes of her upper digestive tract and she is caught in a vicious loop unable to break this.
Why do you need Functional Medicine Nutritionist?
What is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist? How is it different from a Health Coach? How can it help me personally?
Here are the unique ways in which a Functional Nutritionist will look at supporting you: Understanding your history in depth and make sense of how you reached your present state of health Analyse your history and symptoms and understand the root causes of your health challenges, in order to resolve them deep within rather than on the surface Approach you with deep empathy and respect you as a person, rather than just your disease Recommend changes in diet and lifestyle, but continuously track the process, constantly modifying to support your unique body and reactions Empower you with the knowledge you require to understand your body and what can support you, so that you become empowered in managing your own health at all times The fact is that getting to the root of complex health challenges takes time and patience, and it is just not possible to apply a set of protocols or an ideal diet and expect it work for everyone. A Functional Nutritonist is someone with clinical assessment skills, who is trained to read your labs from a Functional perspective. A Functional Nutritionist has the ability to work through complex cases and can problem solve along the way. Clinical assessment and looking at your serum labs from a Functional perspective is an art.

How is Functional Nutrition different from health coaching? Once you know the differences, you will be able to understand better, which option will suit you. Compared to health coaching, here are some of the ways in which a Functional Nutritionist is unique: Helps you to unravel the complex root causes of your signs, symptoms and diagnosis Uses clinical assesment skills and functional lab analysis to understand your unique body Recommends diets, tests and supplement protocols and tracks your progress continuously using frameworks and modifies constantly Is trained in understanding complex health conditions and can problem solve along the way Does not recommend a one size fits all ideal diet but recommends the dietery changes you require at the moment in order to heal Understands the most complex issues but uses a highly individualised approach, and empowers you constantly with the knowledge you need to then stay healthy and full of vitalityAre you ready to Transform your health? .. sign up today

Truth is tricky. It’s so easy to try a new diet or protocol and slip into denial over symptoms that arise. A classic version of this is missing a period after intermittent fasting but trying to ignore it. For a woman your cycle is as vital in information as a lab test!
💛☸️💮💜💛⚛️💮💜💛⚛️💮💜💛⚛️
Have you tried a new diet or protocol and ever convinced yourself that it’s working for you just because you’ve lost a lot of weight? Weight loss has become the highest parameter of efficacy even when there is chaos happening within which can include and not limited to:
💛Frequent headaches
☸️Dysfunctional cycle
💮Low iron or B12 within few months
💜Frequent fevers and coughs
💛Bad skin
☸️Poor quality of sleep even if you are sleeping nine hours
💮Mood fluctuation that includes anger, sadness and overwhelm
💛☸️💮💜💛☸️💮💜💛☸️💮💜💛☸️
Weight loss should not be enough if all this is happening as well. Health should come before anything else.

Fasting is great! But I’m seeing a lot of people who are unable to get benefits from this ancient practice. My guess is that this has a lot to do with sequence, present diet, level of stress and what’s happening within their body.
💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍
Some of the indications that the specific fasting approach you are following is not working for you are:
💙Feeling more stressed and having poor resilience to stressors around you. This can include feeling weepy, angry or overwhelmed.
💙Struggling with fatigue and forcing yourself to get through the fasting period irrespective of tiredness, dizziness or giddy.
💙One of the greatest signs of impact is struggling with sleep. This can include inability to stay asleep and not being able to stay asleep for enough time.
💙Not getting a period when you have always had a perfect cycle is a huge red flag. If your body thinks that it’s a state of emergency it shuts off reproductive function and you can miss ovulation and menstruation. I’ve actually heard women say they are happy about missing a cycle but this is really dangerous!
💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍
Does this mean fasting is not good? Far from it! I call the fasting approach that I use in practice as Strategic Fasting. This refers to using fasting techniques in specific ways at specific times with specific foods in the feeding window. It can be immensely therapeutic provided you bring it in correctly.

It’s so strange that so many women do not place stress as the greatest root cause of all their menstruated challenges. One episode of high stress can wreak havoc on your hormones and impact the flow of your cycle. This is why you’ll have an early period, a later period, no period or a heavy period after you’ve had an argument with someone or a bad day at work.
🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍
🌸The reason for this is that your body takes cholesterol and produces both cortisol which is the stress hormone and progesterone which is your sex hormone.
🌺When your body thinks that it is a state of emergency then it shuts off non essential functions including the production of sex hormones.
🌸Instead it prioritises the production of your stress hormone cortisol.
🌺This means you can go a whole cycle without ovulation or making progesterone.
🌸This makes you stressed, anxious, unable to sleep, overwhelmed, depressed and a whole lot more!
🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍🌸💗🌺🤍
Women’s health and women’s bodies are beautiful spaces where there is harmony deep within. Your body just tries to help you when something is off. The beauty is that you can bring everything back on track with the right steps in the right sequence. If you want to guide your health back to harmony, reach out!

IRON AND MENTAL HEALTH
❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟❇️💟
In my practice, I’m seeing more and more people who have anxiety and depression. They also have extremely low levels of iron. Iron is critical to several key functions and when it comes to your mood and mental health, it truly is key.
☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚☸️💚

ALL HEALING BEGINS WITH SELF LOVE
💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗
The one thing that I’ve noticed about all those who find change and resolution easier is self love. The protocols are not the key. The key to unlock the efficiency in every protocol is self love.
☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍
Self love can be seen in several ways!
💟Always appreciate everything little positive change that happens. Yes you can fall of track. We all do. But what matters is loving yourself and finding your way back
💗Your body is never angry at you or attacking you. Symptoms arise to be your guide. While you have symptoms, every moment your beautiful body is trying to work it’s hardest to get you on even keel
☸️You loving your body and taking care and effort to make food that serves you well is your Sadhna. If you’ve heard BKS Iyengar talk about “your body is a temple and asanas are your prayer”, apply it to food as well. Your body is a temple and food is your offering to it. Avoid looking at food prep and creation as frustrating work but as empowering practices
💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗☸️🤍💟💗
Do you love your body?

FASTING!
💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟
Recently I’ve been noticing nutritionists having polar views on fasting. Some suggest everyone should follow intermittent fasting. Others say that it really messes with blood sugar. Just like anything else, I want to offer you all perspectives. Nothing is perfect it imperfect. Everything exists within the space of that unique person, where they are at this moment in time and perhaps the sequence of protocols.
💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮💦💟💙🔮
Fasting does have several benefits but there are a few things to keep in mind at all times
💟Is your body in a state where you are not highly stressed? Are you in situations which are not promoting excess stress? Jumping into long fasts during stress can be impactful and the best way to know is if you get more angry after starting to fast.
🔮Are you able to manage fasting periods or do you just find yourself thinking about sugars and craving something? Do you also end a fasting period by bingeing on high sugar meals? These are signs that you are not ready to fast. Your body first needs to heal.
💟Do you feel lighter with your digestion? Do you experience more energy? Do you feel calm? Then these are all signs that it’s working well for you. But if you gain energy and lose sleep at night, that’s a sign of adrenal issues brought on by fasting.
🔮Everything wonderful out there needs a specific sequence for every person. This varies. That is why I refer to it as Strategic Fasting. There is a strategy that each person needs and this is governed by body type, state of health, emotional health, sleep quality and mindset.
