Dietician Shivani Gulati
Hi, as a core believer that true healing begins with proper nutrition as every individual is unique, my approach to nutrition goes beyond the typical one-size-fits-all diet plans. Your unique genetics, lifestyle, environment, and biochemistry impact your overall well-being. Instead of simply managing symptoms, I use functional nutrition approach where I use detailed testing and analysis to find actual cause of problem and giving you the right solutions.
Now for instance if blood sugar is high, then it’s a symptom of the problem but it is not the problem, you need to find out the reasons why sugars are not being utilized by the body.
Same ways if gut health is poor you need to find out the reasons why it’s happening but people usually take ant acids to suppress the symptom.
By addressing imbalances in areas like digestion, hormones, and metabolism, functional nutrition helps you achieve sustainable health and vitality. It’s about healing from the inside out, not just following generic food plans.
01.
Why Functional Nutrition?
Many health issues like fatigue, bloating, skin problems, weight issues, and even more serious conditions like autoimmune diseases are signs of imbalances in the body. Functional nutrition looks at how your body systems (digestive, immune, hormonal, etc.) are working together, identifying disruptions and correcting them through diet, lifestyle, and supplements.

What Are Functional Tests?
Functional tests are scientific assessments that look deeper into your health by analysing various factors that affect your bodily functions. These tests can include blood tests, stool tests, food sensitivity tests, hormonal panels, and more. By using these tests, we can pinpoint specific areas of imbalance or dysfunction in your body.
How We Do It: After initial consultation we will advise you on the right tests for your needs. For your ease we have partner with certified labs that follow internationally recognized standards to ensure the accuracy of results.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Interpretation
Understanding Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a systematic approach used to identify the fundamental causes of health issues rather than merely treating the symptoms. After testing, we analyse the results in the context of your unique health history, lifestyle, genetics, and environment. This helps us identify the underlying dysfunctions that might be contributing to your health issues.
How RCA Works:
- Data Collection: We gather information about your medical history, lifestyle, symptoms, and test results.
- Analysis: We interpret the lab results alongside your personal health journey to identify patterns and imbalances.
- Action Plan: Based on the root causes found, we create a tailored nutrition and lifestyle plan that includes dietary changes, supplements, stress management, and other therapeutic interventions.
Case Examples:
- Case 1: Hormonal Imbalances & PCOS – Many women in India suffer from PCOS, a condition often linked to insulin resistance, stress, and poor dietary habits. By identifying hormone imbalances, insulin resistance, and inflammation through functional tests, we create a plan that may involve changes to diet and supplementation.
- Case 2: Digestive Issues and Gut Health – India is home to a variety of traditional healing practices like Ayurveda, which emphasizes gut health. Our functional testing can identify issues like gut dysbio sis, food intolerances, or malabsorption, leading to a tailored plan that provides gut-healing.
