The year was 2002 and I was grossly overweight. I was not feeling good about myself. I pushed myself to a mix of exercise and healthy eating and soon it developed into a habit. I lost 16 kgs, gained confidence and I found my life ambition. I wanted to help other people with the same condition.
Soon after, I went to Florida and studied 'Food Sciences and Human Nutrition'. I gained extensive clinical experience by working in the dietetics department of a leading hospital in Chicago. I traversed the Cardiac Wards, the Critical and Surgical Care units and worked extensively on medical teams that guided and monitored the progress of patients on Nutritional support.
Along the way, I became an RDN - A Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist of the American Dietetic Association (Academy of Dietetics and Nutrition, USA).
