Excellent podcast. So useful and need of the hour for people who can take up a mechanised lifestyle. I can follow from your work that the entire body physiologically and biological clock revolves around one’s sleep patterns, cycle and duration. Thanks for featuring me. Overall, an eye-opener. Keep posting such useful information. - Surya Mantha.

Thanks for hosting me Deepa in the Sleepwhisperer podcast. I enjoyed discussing with you the new perspective to the sleep challenges of different personalities. This is a great podcast to be in and to listen to..
An Endo Warrior
Before I started my plan with Deepa, I used to experience productivity loss of around 10 days every month due to complications from endometriosis. Constant bloating, lower back aches, quite a hit in mood and general sense of lethargy. As the dates of my periods would approach, I would be scared to deal with the pain that wouldnt stop till I rushed to the hospital to get a painkiller. I started conversing with Deepa about the impacts of functional nutrition right before my endometriosis surgery and in the last two years of working with her, I can safely say that my connection with medicine has moved from over the counter painkillers to what is found in my kitchen. Every week, I was given a protocol of food and additional supplements to strengthen my gut and start the process of healing. I was explained to the finer details of which foods to avoid and all the whys behind it. Usually in modern medicine, one goes to visit a doctor with an ailment and is given a medication to control it. Deepa takes the longer route - with a series of exploratory exercises designed to go to the root of an underlying ailment, she takes the entire body as one holistic unit to be healed, not just the liver or a fibroid. This route is long and needs a lot of complementary therapies to work together and in this very process lies the healing nature of it. When you consult with Deepa, it won't be just food. You'll get an education on natural therapies, an education on mindfulness and the role it plays, you'll get a genuinely caring healer and lots and lots of recipes 😀 After working with Deepa for the last two years, I can safely say that a lot of chronic conditions would not ail people if this knowledge is made available at the school level. Our understanding of food and our relationship to what we eat is so sacred and so ignored. I am only filled with gratitude that I got the opportunity to open my eyes to this new world. Oh and by the way, I am currently bloating free and on my last period, I was able to work like any other day. Something that was beyond my wildest imagination just two years ago.
Tinnitus Traumas
Reached out to Deepa when I was Traumatised by Tinnitus . I felt I would go mad with the noise in my ears. She gave me hope when all medical treatments had failed and I am deeply grateful for all the support I have received. In Deepa I found a sincere, kind and committed health practitioner who worked with me in partnership to develop a healing plan that understood my genetic make up, food sensitivities and mental make up. She got me out of my panic phase by teaching me relaxing techniques. Then began the lab testing where she asked me for labs which no one asked for, which revealed shockingly high levels of few markers which she was able to interpret very differently. In the last six months I have been introduced to a power of lifestyle changes and how food can be medicine. Today my levels are in normal range and I can't thank Deepa enough for identifying something that no doctor was able identify. My digestion has improved and my bedridden days with stress seem a distant memory now. Deepa is a person who walks hand-in-hand throughout your journey of healing.
Mood and My Skin
After years of feeling tired, moody and my skin constantly breaking out I knew i needed to do something. I happened to attend a talk that deepa was giving and decided to get in touch with her. It was most definitely one of the best decisions i made for myself. Deepa took the time to find out not only about my eating habits, but also about my lifestyle, health and emotional journey, she then devised an achievable plan. She constantly supported and encouraged me tomake the changes I needed to in order to get healthy both mentally and physically. Deepa has been a great advisor giving me clear explanations for her recommendations and giving me manageable and realistic goals. After 6 months of working with her I feel more energised, happy and able to cope with my anxiety. I have so much more understanding of my triggers both food-wise and in terms of stress, I've learned to understand the warning signs earlier allowing me to make better choices. My biggest take way from the program has been the tremendous influence food has on your general wellbeing. Deepa is truly committed to help people and genuinely cares.
Deepa has always been there for me - highs and lows notwithstanding.
For years I took my health for granted and I didn't realize the long-term damage to my body, till everything came crashing down. And how! Since my fitness, weight and energy goals seemed right with virtually no effort, I didn't pay any attention to the distress signals my body sent out. It was just so easy. Slim, trim and energetic was how I had been forever. My career and lifestyle choices didn't have much of an impact on my body at that time. But prolonged work and personal stress, bad food habits, lack of knowledge about nutrition and wellness etc eventually led to one illness after an other. A complete domino effect I reconnected with Deepa on the advice of a friend and our first few sessions were an honest sharing of my distress reg my health concerns, shortcomings on the wellness front, medical issues and eventual goals. It took a while to understand that functional nutrition was different from anything I had ever known. Initially my body and mind rebelled, i was reluctant to adapt and I gave up easily. I wanted quick results ad visible changes. Gradually, the calming effect of a holistic and well-researched approach, the right tools and unfailing support through the program, got me on the right path. Deepa has always been there for me - highs and lows notwithstanding. She is the heart and soul of the program and her commitment to my wellness has been a huge motivator. She has been patient when it came to guiding me to understand what was best for my body and my mind. I had very little knowledge of the benefits of certain foods, supplements, hormonal changes and the need to understand my body rhythms. Food and mood journals helped me understand healthy and unhealthy patterns. I look forward furthering to my wellness journey in the years to come.
I highly recommend Deepa to anyone who is serious about their health. Ravi Venkatesan
I signed up with Deepa after a close friend had experienced outstanding results with a very chronic problem. Since i had been neglectng my chronic issues for at least a decade, i decided to give it a try. About a month into our sessions, the Covid clampdown happened completely changing my lifestyle. along the way i had a number of major health issues including hospiralization with Dengue and an infection that felt suspiciously like Covid. Deepa was a lifeline during this difficult year. She is very knowledgeable and practical. she was always available and accessible. i found her concern for my weel being and improvement to be sincere. I wasnt always a cooperative client who faithfully followed her advice. in these instances she showed firm patience. . I am grateful to Deepa for educating me and making me much more aware of what i eat and its consequences for my physical and mental health. Two of my chronic issues have substantially eased. My blood chemistry has improved on 3 parameters. No doubt i would have had better results if i had been more disciplined. I was sad when my time ended and hope to repeat the program in a couple of years. I highly recommend Deepa to anyone who is serious about their health. Ravi Venkatesan
With much love and gratitude,!
Working with Deepa has been a a great learning experience. Her holistic approach to health, i.e. working on healing the body, mind and spirit in tandem, is something that I had never come across. A uniquie and much required approach in the present day and age. Deepa herself is a very calm person, was always just a text message away to advise me on any health issue that I was facing, big or small. Very thorough in her knowledge and professional in her approach, I would definitely recommend Deepa to anyone who is struggling with their health. I was truly blessed to find her at the right time.! ! With much love and gratitude,! Suparna!
Highly recommend Phytothrive. Deepa has extensive knowledge in functional nutrition and wholistic wellness - her approach is deep rooted and methodical. It was truly life changing for me!
Highly recommend Phytothrive. Deepa has extensive knowledge in functional nutrition and wholistic wellness - her approach is deep rooted and methodical. It was truly life changing for me! I have learned so much from Deepa. I am able to better understand the why's and how's of eating for a healthy mind and body. I had chronic feet burning, PMS and insomnia when I started consulting with Deepa. These eight months have been therapeutic in so many ways. I do feel empowered by the knowledge and tools that Deepa has painstakingly explained through her detailed notes and chats. I am really grateful for her guidance.

Book Acquisition by HarperCollins India
Here’s that exciting news I spoke about to coincide with the one year anniversary of The Sleep Whisperer Podcast! Writing a book and becoming part of that magical group of authors is a dream!
Three years ago I wrote a book which I titled Sleep Whisperer, looking at sleep from a very in depth perspective, and tying together the cutting-edge science of functional medicine and eastern ancient wisdom. The story of how I wrote that book is indeed magical and a mixture of spiritual guidance and astrology(by my spiritual guide and mentor Shyam @himalayan.yogi ). It’s also been a lot of sacrifice and hard work during times that were stressful, challenging and testing in all ways.
The journey of the book from concept to acquisition is also a magical path which I will share much later. For now, I’m just humbled, grateful and quite simply excited to announce that the book has been acquired by Sonal Nerurkar @sonal_nerurkar of @harpercollinsin HarperCollins India! Sonal’s faith in the book has been unwavering and I’ll forever be grateful for it. I can’t wait for the final book release next year!
None of this would be possible without the trust, hard work, dedication and patience of my most beautifully warm literary agent Jayapriya Vasudevan @jayapriyavasudevan of Jacaranda Literary Agency. I cannot put into words what her belief in the book and being my warrior for it means to me.
I’m also deeply grateful for the dear colleagues and mentors who have made contributions to the book. That is a surprise for later!
