Interviewed by The Success Today – A Digital Webzine

  1. Tell us a bit about yourself and your business.

A nutrition counselor, with 14 years of experience in customized diet plans based on the client’s dietary habits. We at Golz strongly believe that the food we eat should be of our liking and not something that is forced upon us. Postgraduate in food & nutrition and doctorate from internationally acclaimed CSIR-CFTRI (Central food research and technological research institute) Mysore. I strongly believe in scientific research and its impact on the quality of human health and well-being. Unfortunately, there is a vast gap between food research and its translation into our daily food. Nutrition research is a dynamic area to meet age, gender and regional food choices. Golz’s vision is to bridge this gap and provide daily nutrition.

Golz was founded seven years ago based on my freelance journey with corporate-like GMR, GVK pan India 2008. The remarkable changes achieved by dietary modification helped enormously in overcoming issues of weight, diabetes, cardio, hormonal and many other lifestyle diseases with our nutrition and diet solutions. These life-changing solutions paved the way to register Golz Nutrition & Diet Solutions at Mysore. Presently we have two centers and global clientele. We are successfully reversing diabetes, PCOD, thyroid, and weight issues.

Apart from regular nutrition solutions, our core area is empowering parents with diet solutions for Autism and differently-abled children. Nutrition education, workshops/webinars are integral parts of all Golz programs—corporate, school, college, young population. Golz customizes nutrition for all age groups along with therapeutic nutrition. Having a global clientele, (10 countries) touched more than 15K population since inception. We are proud to have 25% of medical doctors as our clientele. Online consultancy is our integral part, since our inception.

  1. What inspired you to start a career in this field?

New scientific research happening in clinical nutrition inspires me to get connected to people’s health through daily food.
The happiness and satisfaction from my clients, positive health benefits from our diet solutions keeps me motivated and inspired. Mainstreaming autistic children with help of our diet solutions drives me to innovative scientific food solutions.

Through Golz we want people to experience the goodness of a daily diet and a healthy lifestyle for lifelong physical and mental health.
