My Story

 

Years of work experience in various hospitals made me realise that most people are seeking treatments for diseases that could be prevented effectively with  the right kind of diet and exercise. Lifestyle diseases do not develop in a day or a month or even a year. It is the outcome of a lifetime of unhealthy eating, sub-optimal nutrient intake, overwork, poor stress management and destructive habits such as smoking and irresponsible drinking. But sadly, until a disease formally introduces itself, we do not want to think about it. Making the right food choices and increasing physical activity can even reverse many lifestyle diseases. Nourishing your body is inevitable in leading a quality life. Its never too late to start eating well.   

​

People are apprehensive of making changes, although most people are aware that their lifestyle is not the best that they could lead. This happens mostly due to lack of motivation, resistance to change, misconceptions about healthy eating, and false belief that foods that benefit health are costly or are time-consuming to cook. I founded Healthwize to remove such false notions among my fellow beings. Healthy eating does not mean depriving yourself of certain foods instead it is about eating mindfully and guilt-free. With the right attitude healthful eating can become a way of living.

Some of my previous places of work as a practicing/consulting dietician include Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre (AIMS) Kochi, Indian Institute of Diabetes (IID) Thiruvanathapuram, Lords Hospital Thiruvananthapuram. I have always been passionate about educating and training and have worked as a visiting lecturer in Lords School of Nursing and Bethany Navajeevan College of Physiotherapy in Thiruvanathapuram.
