My story
My clinical and research work focuses on the intersection of metabolic health, body composition, and the gut-liver-muscle axis.
Most of my patients are managing conditions like fatty liver, cirrhosis, or a liver transplant, where specialized nutrition is critical alongside medical treatment.
After completing my MSc and PhD in Nutrition, I spent years working closely with patients navigating cirrhosis and liver transplants. That hands-on experience revealed how easily muscle loss goes unnoticed until it becomes a serious risk—a critical insight that shaped my research direction. Building on my doctoral training, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at IIT Bombay focusing on in vitro liver models, allowing me to investigate metabolic questions at the cellular level rather than only at the bedside.
Presently, I serve as a Clinical Nutritionist at the Centre for Liver, Intestine and Pancreas Sciences at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, and as an Assistant Professor at the NMIMS School of Science. I continue active translational research in this space, with a core focus on mitigating muscle loss in chronic liver disease

Nutrition approach
Nutrition is a prerequisite for a healthy life. Many of us know that correct nutritional habits play an essential role in the prevention, management, and progression of lifestyle-related diseases. Yet, maintaining an optimum eating pattern remains challenging.
In the age of social media, we are constantly overloaded with nutrition information that is often confusing and misleading. Sound nutrition science cuts through the noise to bust these myths.
By analyzing our unique metabolic fingerprints, we can evaluate our food habits and understand which foods to consume liberally, adequately, and sparingly. With time, good eating habits become a natural part of our lifestyle, progressively guiding us toward better health and fitness.
My goal is to move you away from restrictive, confusing regimens and toward an intuitive, science-backed framework. Whether you are managing a chronic liver condition or optimizing your metabolic health, sustainable nutrition should nourish your body, protect your muscle, and fit effortlessly into your daily life.
VISION: Precision Nutrition plan for better health span
