Her Approach

For Pooja, every client’s journey becomes her own mission. Her approach for working with her clients is unique because it involves:

• Integrative Multi-Disciplinary approach – which blends multiple sciences to help achieve objectives including paleo diets, keto diets, GM diets, intermittent fasting, macrobiotics, high-protein diets, blue-zone diets, naturopathy diets, traditional native diets, food combinations, and many others.
• Deep customisation of recipes and nutrition to your body type, temperament, routines, travel patterns, work situation, medical profile and taste preferences (no more starving, no matter what your taste preferences!). Sometimes involving families, cooking staff and secretaries.
• Round the clock real time advice, modifications and support (upon request) for high priority clients. She works with international (and travelling) clients over video calls. Most importantly she experiments and practices in her own life before she recommends approaches and coaches her clients. She has actively managed her childhood diabetes.

Since she was nine years old. She has run marathons several times. She has been
