My name is Ritu, and I am a Holistic Nutrition and Health Coach specializing in feminine hormonal health; I also help women achieve healthy gut, skin, and weight loss goals. I am a Certified Life Coach and graduated from the International Coaching Academy. I am determined to empower women to engage in life from a place of worthiness and hope to help women heal their bodies, mind, and spirit to become the happiest, healthiest version of themselves. In our work together.

I was born in India and have lived in beautiful California for the past 28 years. I’m incredibly excited to be in this program and have the opportunity to deep dive into nutrition and how it impacts overall health to heal myself first. I’ve had an interest in health and nutrition for as long as I can remember, so becoming a Nutrition Coach feels like fulfilling a life-long purpose. My journey into holistic healing began through my own experience. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism early in life, which gave me the motivation I needed to pursue my studies in nutrition to manage my health in a better way.

After years of undiagnosed weight gain, fatigue, migraines, and anxiety, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia six years ago and did not know what to expect. I was put on antidepressants until one day; my younger one said he lost his mom on drugs. That was an eye-opener. It hit me, and I decided to stop medications. I had terrible experiences with my health, which led me to the Holistic school of Nutraphoria; Overcoming my own physical and mental illness through diet and exercise has inspired me to help others heal with a more natural approach using diet and exercise and alternative medicine strategies. I have successfully treated myself through food and supplements. I now know I was misdiagnosed for years. I had hypothyroid and was never tested correctly.

It has been a journey like no other. I have gained so much knowledge and feel confident enough to help women who have not felt well in years. Many of us have gone through the difficult phase of menopause and have had thyroid since we cannot even remember — leading to struggles with weight, inflammation, hair loss, and a lack of energy. This is all while we have spent unspecified amounts of money and time to figure out a solution.

I have been there, and when I did not get any answers after seeing six different specialists, I decided to help myself and all the women who need me.

I have never felt better. I lost weight, my energy is back, my thyroid numbers dropped, and my Fibromyalgia symptoms are gone.

I hope I’ve got you thinking about how all these things might apply to you, no matter what your health struggles are. Are you approaching it from a “let’s treat the symptoms” or a “treat the root cause” approach? In the long run, which one would be better for you? I am looking forward to helping others heal so they, too, can live their best lives!
