The herbeshwari approach
Learn the art of eating mindfully, learn to stay healthy for a lifetime
There are no diet plans, fixed portions or expensive supplements
I teach my patients to reach optimum health by modifying their existing diet, teaching them to listen to their bodies and eat intuitively
I started my career counting macros and making diet plans, they worked, till they didn't. Most of my "success stories" returned months later saying they had gone back to square one because they could not sustain their progress
I realised the reductionist approach does not equip my patients with the skills to stay healthy in the long run and wanted to find an alternate way.
I developed my own style of dietary modification, where the gentle approach is first, and sustainable results are the priority
There are no forbidden foods or fixed portions. We unlearn guilt around eating and build a better relationship with food
You will learn how to eat depending on your body type, season, mood and health condition while enjoying every single meal
the process
My programme is unique from person to person, I work with patients on a one-to-one basis with an exclusively patient-customised approach. Most patients work with me for 3-4 months
My intent is to set up a lifestyle that is so easy and sustainable that you do not need me or any other nutritionist ever again
After completion of the program, a majotiry of patients do not come back to me or any other nutritionist because their results are maintained
About me
I am a Naturopathic physician and nutritionist by qualification. I am licensed to practise both in India and the United Kingdom
My approach is a unique blend of modern nutrition, ancient wisdom and practical day-to-day habits
I come from a family of Ayurvedic medicine makers with a lineage tracing back to the 1800s. We manufactured certified organic Ayurvedic medicines for 25 years.
We have certified organic nurseries where we cultivate medicinal and native plants. Our collection spans over 1000 specimens, many of which are nearing extinction in the wild
I have spent nearly a decade in this field, you can check my qualifications below
Services Offered
I offer three types of consultation:
One time consultation
This is if you are unable to get a full time spot or want a taster of what working with me looks like.
Call duration: 30 minutes
What you can expect from the call:
-
A review of your medical conditions and reports
-
Detailed food and lifestyle recommendations based on our conversation
-
A tailored treatment plan will be prepared within 4-5 days of our call
Treatment plan includes:
-
Dietary suggestions - no diet plan will be prepared but you will be guided on how to eat and specific foods that may help you
-
Herbs and supplements (if required)
-
Therapeutic Yoga/meditation suggestions for your health condition (if required)
-
Herbal packs, skincare suggestions & other naturopathy treatments (if required)
You will have a clear idea on what you can do to get started and how you can resolve your health issues sustainably and look at long-term results. Both healthy people who want to understand their bodies better or those with medical conditions can opt for this
How to enrol?
Please mail me at poorvibhatkhandige@gmail.com and I will provide the details. Make the subject headline “ONE TIME CONSULTATION”. There is a 2-3 week wait time.
How is this different from herbeshwari’s flagship programme?
This is completely different and more closely resembles how consulting a regular doctor would look like. We will have the consultation and you will get health specific and customised guidelines similar to what my full time patients recieve. But our method of working is less intensive and your progress is dependent on your initiative to do the tasks given rather than me hand-holding you through the changes
