Hey there! This is Dr. Nirmala and I want to share my wellness journey with you.

I've been overweight right from the age of 3 and this one fact has affected my whole life as I grew up. Bullying and body shaming was so regular that it began to affect my confidence. I started of with being a cute and chubby little child and grew up to become morbidly obese.

From the time I remember, I have always exercised…. whether Jane Fonda's aerobics, gymming or yoga. I was always trying out some diet or the other. With all of that I was still 'the fatty'.

My health became a cause of concern for everyone who loved me. My husband was always worried about me walking alone because there were times I would lose my balance and fall. Seeing me having to use a machine to breathe at night left him feeling helpless as well.

A few years prior to this, while doing a course on diabetes, there was a brief mention about the role of insulin in obesity. I remembered this and decided to start reading up and educating myself about it. With this started my "wellness journey".

Today I am 30kgs lighter and off diabetes medication. My BP meds have been reduced and I no longer need the C-pap machine at night. I am energetic and don't have unexplainable pain.

Today it is my passion to educate and guide people who have insulin resistance related problems like diabetes, obesity, hypertension, high (bad) cholesterol, auto-immune disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver and other related health issues.

I work very closely with my clients and have a hands-on approach. I customize the food style (I don't call it a "diet") based on each person's clinical condition and also their personal preferences.
