This September feels special.

Sir J.J. Hospital is joining the entire country for the *8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah*, and this year's theme is so close to my heart

*"Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar"*

I truly believe this. When a woman is healthy, her whole family becomes healthier. And that is how we will build a healthy India.

For the last 8 years in our *Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolism Clinic at JJ*, we have been quietly doing exactly what this year's Poshan Maah is asking for

✅ Talking about *Obesity with science, not shame*
✅ Helping families use *less oil and less sugar* – even 10% less can change your reports, as our Hon'ble PM reminded us
✅ Going back to our roots – *Millets, Moringa, Sattu, Chikki, Sprouts* – our own superfoods

So what are we doing this month.

🔸 We will be there in OPD for nutrition counselling and consultation.
🔸 A simple challenge for all of you and me – *No fried food after 6 PM for 30 days*. Let's do it together?
🔸 And we will show you how a simple, colourful Indian thali can be the best medicine

For me, nutrition was never about a strict diet. It is about diabetes remission, it is about a healthy pregnancy, it is about our children growing well.
Let's make Mumbai healthier, together.

I’m deeply honored to share that I was *felicitated in recognition of valuable contribution and dedication to the medical fraternity and diabetes care*.

This recognition humbles me.

Diabetes care in India is not just about prescriptions. It’s about education, empathy, and empowering patients to take charge of their lifestyle. Every HbA1c that drops, every medicine that’s reduced, every patient who says “Doctor, I feel in control again” — that’s the real award.

Thank you to Dr. Aravinda for this honor.
Thank you to my patients in Colaba, across India and the World — your trust drives me every day.
Thank you to my team — this is our win, together.

The mission continues: _Science with Service. Prevention > Prescription._
Because every Indian deserves a chance to reverse, not just manage, diabetes.

🌍 World Hormone Day — April 24

Your hormones are tiny messengers. But when they’re out of balance, your whole body listens.

As a Diabetologist, I see this every day:

Insulin → when it stops working well, blood sugar rises = Diabetes
Thyroid hormones → too high or low = weight changes, fatigue, mood swings
Cortisol → chronic stress = belly fat, high BP, poor sleep
Estrogen/Testosterone → imbalance = PCOS, infertility, low energy

Hormones don’t work alone. They talk to each other.
Poor sleep → messes up insulin.
Stress → spikes cortisol → increases cravings → worsens diabetes.
Belly fat → makes insulin resistance worse → cycle continues.

Good news: Small daily habits reset hormones better than any “hack”
✅ 7-8 hrs sleep = better insulin + lower cortisol
✅ 30 min walk = improves insulin sensitivity
✅ Protein with every meal = steadier blood sugar + hormones
✅ Stress breaks = protects thyroid + adrenal health

On World Hormone Day, check in with your body:
Are you always tired? Gaining weight despite eating less? Moody? Craving sugar at 4pm?
These aren’t “just age” or “willpower” issues. They could be hormonal.

Your hormones work 24/7 for you. Today, do one thing for them. 💙

👇 Tell me: Which symptom surprised you most?
A) Constant fatigue
😎 Unexplained weight gain
C) Sugar cravings
D) Mood swings / poor sleep

I’ll reply with tips based on what you pick.

"On , reflecting on 30+ years in medicine. Women are the transformative force: diagnosing the unseen, pioneering research, and serving tirelessly. Yet burnout, caregiving burdens, and gaps in care persist. Embracing this year's theme, 'Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress', I'm committed to advocating for equity, supportive systems, and lifestyle medicine that nourishes women's well-being . Grateful to the women who've shaped my journey – the world is better because of you.
