I had joined Priyanka mam with multiple health issues (thyroid, rheumatoid arthritis, hormonal imbalance). And it’s been 6 months and i had lost around 10kg, this 6 month journey was full ofups and down. But she has always supported me, guided thoroughly and worked on root causes of my problems . not only my diet, also my health issues have improved. I am use to of eating clean food now. My thyroid level is under control since August, my arthritis problems have reduced. She suggests easily available foods, and variety of options in diets. Thank you priyanka mam 🙏🏻

I highly recommend Dt. Priyanka and team. The diet plan they gave has done wonders for me and I witnessed results within 1 month. Post Covid I was diagnosed with diabetes and I tried all sorts of ayurvedic and allopathy treatments, however nothing worked for me. My fasting glucose had crossed 300 mg/dl which was alarming. I strictly followed the diet they provided me and gradually my sugar level started dropping. I am so happy to share that within a month's time my fasting sugar is in normal ranges. Even the random sugar last night I obtained was 139mg/dl. All the dieticians are very cooperative, kind and understanding. They also change and suggest diet plans as per your schedule for the day. Massive thanks to the team for educating and guiding.

Being a new mom I was worried about doing diet plan however they prepared a diet plan according to my needs. I managed to loose 10 kg in 3 months, all kudos to the team who have helped me deplete postpartum weight gain. I have already recommended them to my contacts and I would do so in future too.
