I got interested in nutrition at a very young age. Growing up in India; I had witnessed food being used as medicine in my home all the time. This interest in power of food and nutrition grew as I learned about the science of nutrition. In 1996, I was blessed to get an opportunity to work in a special research project on use of Ketogenic diet in treatment of intractable Epilepsy. Seeing the improvement in kids with this diet therapy played the most profound role behind my passion for Food as Medicine. When I moved to the USA in 2004, I graduated with a BS in Clinical Nutrition from the University of Texas at South-western Medical Center to continue to advance my learning and clinical knowledge. I am a certified Leap Therapist (Food sensitivity) and Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner (IFNCP) with Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy.
