About me

Hi, I'm Puja.

I'm a nutritionist based in New Delhi, working with clients across India and abroad. I started Poshan Labs to bring the way our grandmothers ate together with what modern nutrition has measured, and to make it fit real Indian lives.

I work one to one with people who are tired of being told to eat things they'd never cook.

Over the years, the pattern I see most is simple:

people don't fail diets, diets fail people.

They're too strict, too foreign, and they ignore the reports sitting in your drawer.

How I work

So I work the other way round. I start with your reports, your routine and your kitchen.

I keep the roti, the dal and the curd, and I change what actually needs changing:

  • portions
  • timing
  • protein
  • the handful of habits that quietly add up

Then I stay with you, week after week, adjusting the plan as your body and your life change.

Who I work with

I work with women and men:

  • PCOS and PCOD
  • perimenopause and menopause
  • thyroid
  • type 1 and type 2 diabetes
  • rising sugar
  • gut health
  • pregnancy
  • new mothers after pregnancy
  • people who need to gain weight

What I believe

  • No crash diets and no temporary fixes.
  • Food you'll still be happy eating a year from now.
  • Indian ingredients, herbs and spices used the way they always were, with the numbers checked.
  • And honesty: if I don't think I can help, I'll say so on the first call.
Rotis, the way they've always been made
