Summary
I am a qualified sports nutritionist with a Masters degree in dietetics and food service management and a Diploma in Sports Nutrition offered by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), London. I have eleven years of experience working as a nutritionist. Being keenly interested in the field of sports nutrition, I have been specifically working with athletes (professional and recreational) since 2012 at Bangalore and my clientele includes several state and national level athletes in varied fields of sport. While currently working as a consultant sports nutritionist I have also recently started work with a preventive healthcare company heading their nutrition team. The preventive healthcare space is eventually where I believe nutrition science will become a torch bearer to solving several health-related issues.
