my story

My father injecting himself.

That frightening image was what I grew up with. He used to sterilise the needles and inject himself regularly with insulin. He was a fine gentleman, and to see him suffer like that was painful.

My mom was subsequently diagnosed with diabetes too. Diabetes led to multiple complications including heart problems. It was scary as I learnt that both my paternal and maternal grandparents were diabetic and my elder brother was also termed as diabetic.

Witnessing all the mental stress associated with, and the time and money that goes into managing a health issue, I was determined to do whatever it takes to prevent the same from happening to me and my future family.

My graduation in food, nutrition and dietetics gave me the foundation knowledge. I was hungry for information on health, and learnt from knowledge gathered around the world.. It became clear to me that prevention is the best cure. And, preventing any health condition was totally in my hands and i don’t have to blame my genetics.

Being aware of the various factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle and a willingness to make the right choices was what really matters.

Now, in our forties and blessed with two children, both my husband and I are glad about how we are able to lead a healthy lifestyle. Our learnings and helped both of our mothers, well into their 70s, to lead a healthy and joyful life.

Being part of a supporting environment that provides the ongoing support and encouragement to stick on to your healthy decisions was a critical factor. The Wellness Quotient community serves as a pillar of strength in your family’s health goals.

It gives me tremendous joy in sharing with people, the knowledge gathered over the past 2 decades, and helping them lead a healthy lifestyle.
