December was delightful!
After the talk at The Kind Festival, I had another opportunity to make an impact in the healthcare space - this time at the 49th annual CME for practising doctors organised by
Apart from being a part of the panel discussion on “Obesity across age groups” with eminent doctors from varied specialities, I also had the opportunity to conduct an activity on “Nutrition Prescription” ably supported by Dr.Sivaleela.
This was a new attempt at doing something different to engage and get the medical fraternity to think about the role of food in our overall health. This session was followed by a “Label reading” activity by Dr.Pallavi Maddukuri and Dr.Aksh*ta which further emphasised the importance of eating clean, whole foods.

Last weekend was a whirlwind of activity. Feeling blessed to have been able to speak at .kind.carnival on Saturday - a vegan festival organised by
As a representative of the focus was on nutrition and sustainability.
The audience was very receptive, understanding that our food choices - not just being vegan but also whole plant based is an extra step towards a healthy body, mind and the planet.

Was reading blog on forest bathing and loved these key takeaways that I had to share it with all!
Spending time in nature is cathartic- physically, physiologically and emotionally.
Try to spend some time away from the hustle and hustle of a chaotic city life on a regular basis.

Grateful to be able to make a difference.
When Sahithi came to me I thought it was the regular diet in pregnancy but got to know that I was dealing with a client who had placenta previa. Not to put on additional weight but also ensure all the nourishment is provided, being a pre diabetic, it was challenging.
Thankful to my friends, mentors and colleagues in the lifestyle medicine space, I was able to successfully hand hold her through the entire journey.

An in person consultation during my time in Belgaum with follow ups online. Grateful to be able to make a difference.
As a nutritionist I don’t give diet plans, instead I work with the client to make and build healthy habits in all areas of holistic health.

It was the weekend and I did not have many vegetables for my salad except for beetroot & zucchini. Thought of doing a beetroot halwa since I had some cashew butter also but then I decided to experiment.
Used a peeler to make thin, flat strips of zucchini. Blended the chopped beetroot with some dates with very little water.
Made a cashew cream by adding little water to the cashew butter.
On the zucchini strip, spread a little cashew cream, added the beetroot puree & rolled the zucchini.
Voila - raw salad/raw dessert- take your pick!
Will you try this?

While this is very relevant, most people don’t understand that healthy foods with diversity means fibre dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes & beans etc; less sugar laden foods means avoid refined & ultra processed foods; less saturated fats means avoid or reduce animal foods and palm oil etc.
Eating a whole food plant-forward or plant - predominant diet high in fibre, high on phytonutrients and low in fat and unnecessary calories can help in prevention of diabetes even if you are genetically pre-disposed.
There is enough and more evidence of putting type 2 diabetes into remission using lifestyle modifications.
Start with 1 step at a time, 1 meal at a time, 1 day at a time.
As a nutritionist & holistic health coach, I have worked with clients who have been able to not become diabetic from their pre-diabetes stage; who have put their diabetes in remission before they could get on medications and who have been able to reduce their medications under a doctor’s guidance as their blood glucose levels were coming down.

An amazing 2 days at the 5th International conference of Lifestyle Medicine held at The India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
I had the opportunity to host the event along with and it was so much fun!
Meeting like minded people who believe in the power of lifestyle modifications, bonding with old friends and making new friends, listening and learning from some amazing stalwarts in their respective fields, and of course eating wholesome, nourishing, delicious food, it was not just inspiring but super fun.
Cannot forget the dancing and the impromptu garba and disco:)krishnaswamy .kini .devdas
