Optimize your energy and hormones

Through a low-carb lifestyle

Hi, I’m Puja. I’m a Nutritionist and expert in gut and hormonal health using Nutritional Therapy, and Functional Testing. I help women going through perimenopause and menopause optimize their energy and hormonal health through Low Carb/Ketogenic Diets.

Reclaim Your Energy:

Naturally Balance Hormones & Live Your Best Life

Do you wake up tired, even after a full night’s sleep, and rely on caffeine or sugar to get through the day?

Has your metabolism slowed down, making it harder to lose weight—especially around your midsection?

Are you frustrated with unexplained weight gain, despite eating well and exercising?

Do you feel like your moods are all over the place—anxious, irritable, or struggling with brain fog and low motivation?

Are your cravings for sugar, carbs, or caffeine stronger than ever, making it hard to eat the way you know you should?

Have you been told your lab tests are “normal,” yet you still feel off—suspecting a thyroid or hormone imbalance that hasn’t been properly addressed?

Do you suspect you have an autoimmune condition that’s causing fatigue, gut issues, joint pain, or inflammation but no one has given you a clear path forward?​

If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, it may be a sign that your body is struggling with metabolic dysfunction. This shift can impact not just your metabolism but also your overall energy, mood, and quality of life.

As we age, hormonal fluctuations, gut microbiome shifts, and years of high-carb eating can make it harder to maintain stable energy levels and a healthy weight. This isn’t your fault—life, stress, and dietary habits all influence how your body processes fuel. Over time, the tiny power plants in your cells (mitochondria) become less efficient, making it harder to produce steady energy.

A low-carb approach can help restore metabolic function by training your body to shift from relying on glucose to burning ketones and fat for fuel. This transition not only stabilizes energy levels but also supports better blood sugar control, mental clarity, and long-term metabolic health. Instead of relying on quick-burning carbs that leave you feeling drained, your body learns to efficiently tap into its own fat stores giving you consistent energy, fewer cravings, and better hormonal balance.

Imagine a life where:

You wake up each morning feeling truly refreshed, with the energy and motivation to embrace the day ahead.

Picture yourself achieving your desired weight, effortlessly balancing family, career, and personal interests, all while living a life free from the constant worry of burnout.

This is not just a dream – it can be your reality.

I loved my in-person sessions with Puja. I am sleeping much better and have felt a better hormone balance. As a result, I have more energy and stamina throughout the day. I can work out again and use the sauna. I am more mindful of what I put at the end of my fork and have learnt to incorporate new nutrients in my diet. Puja has helped me see how stressful the last few years were for me, and how important it is to give my body a break when it needs it.

Martha Garcia

Puja really knows her science and information, backing up all the Nutritional recommendations she gives you. You can tell that she really knows her stuff! She is very approachable, and I could e-mail her anytime I had any questions regarding her protocols. Prior to seeing Puja, I had a lot of Gastrointestinal issues and was dealing with a lot of stress in my life. Working with Puja and implementing her changes one step at a time has helped me tremendously with my gut health, but has also helped me slow down. I have even recommended her to my best friend.

Somnath Kansabanik

Consulting with Puja turned out to be a transformative encounter for my health and well-being. Under her expert guidance, I embarked on a journey of personal transformation that led me to lose 20 kg and significantly improve all my blood markers, all without the aid of any medications. Puja introduced me to the power of natural ways to restore health, emphasizing the importance of gut health and the impact it has on our overall well-being. Her approach to mindful eating and making me more self-aware about my eating habits has not only helped me sustain these changes but also greatly reduced my inflammation levels, boosted my energy and focus remarkably.

Puja has helped me to understand how food is an essential building block for a healthy lifestyle. With her careful, detailed assessment of my eating, sleeping and exercise habits, she designed menus that would focus on improving my sleep, focus and energy needs. Her knowledgeable background put me at ease, her gentle manner became an attitude I wanted to emulate. Now I calmly think of food as not only a joyous part of life, but also as an important fuel for body and mind. Thank you, Puja!

Thea Helfer

Puja has helped me personalize my nutrition by incorporating new foods to help me balance out my meals, which have reduced my sugar cravings. She has also optimized my nutrition to where I can understand the foods that are beneficial to my body and remove the foods that were causing inflammation. As a result, my digestion is better and my energy levels have increased. I have also lost weight in the this process and gained muscle mass. She has enabled me to increase my diversity in plant foods and anti-inflammatory foods which are beneficial to my body given my family history of Autoimmune disease. I am now on a good path of creating a healthy balance between my diet and exercise. 

Sarah Done

I came to see Puja for my Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which is a genetic disorder. I found Puja to be very kind and thoughtful and she was able to put me at ease from the very beginning. She was able to advise me on the right type of diet for my condition paving the way for recovery, considering my health issues. She took the time to explain her nutritional advice and the reasons behind the changes, making it easy to understand and implement rather than just giving me a plan to follow.  I would definitely recommend Puja to anyone who was looking into dietary and nutritional advice.

Sudha Nishtala

I had put on 15kg during my pregnancy and despite trying everything, I couldn’t lose weight post pregnancy. Furthermore, my health started deteriorating even further with symptoms of itchy skin and bloatedness. When I started seeing Puja, she opened my whole world up to what gut healing is and now 6 months later, I have lost 11kg. It is a goal that I never thought I would ever achieve. Puja is extremely knowledgeable and diligent with her passion for Nutrition. Being a vegetarian myself and feeling lost with healthy foods, Puja has opened me up to trying a whole host of new foods and a different way of eating. She has guided and educated me into feeling like a whole different person. I am healthy and confident about my body because of her.

I will take her advice further and better the life of my entire family. Thankyou Puja!
