Meet Neha Shah | Integrative Nutrition Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Neha Shah and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Neha, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
Looking at your plate with the lens of Calories and macros is what I disagree with. Food should be combined traditionally which is automatically at the right ratios and proportions to get the maximum Nutrients out of it.

Protein is not a hero of the plate neither is Carb the villain. So stop quantifying & comparing various Food groups. There are 3 macros for a reason. They all are needed since they work in synergy and not in isolation. Remember in physics we learnt, everything is relative. So stick by the nature’s laws and live a vibrant life without confusions.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I am the founder of Desi nutrition Academy (formerly known as The Balance Chaos), a nutrition and wellness program for anyone who wants to connect to their traditions and achieve health. Losing weight is just a by-product of gaining health.

Through this comprehensive platform, you will know the actual science behind
WHY NORMAL ‘dieting’ STRATEGY DOESN’T WORK FOR YOU!?

YOU WILL DISCOVER WHY DIETING IS WORTHLESS
for your traditional genes and can actually make you
FEEL MORE WORSE THAN EVER!!

YOU WILL SEE the REAL CULPRIT behind your
ability to lose excess fat!
AND TRUST ME…
WHEN I SAY THAT NOBODY
HAS EVER TOLD YOU THIS.

To understand this let’s begin with
The top 3 mistakes you are falling for
As told and advertised by mainstream media.

#1 mistake you are making when it comes to nutrition.
You are dividing your desi thali into carbs, proteins and fats.

The more in PIECES you eat : this is protein, 1/4 cup is carbs, thumb size of fats!
the less at PEACE you feel

#2 mistake you are making is

BLINDLY IN LOVE WITH THE CALORIE NUMBERS
You are believing into eating LESS and eating LOW
calories to stay in that “calorie deficit” zone resulting
to a deprived & undernourished state of being.

#3 mistake is that

Highly dependent on manipulative FOOD-LIKE products

Quantifying and labeling foods as calories & macro
has resulted to the ‘manufacturing’ of food products
in the factories

instead of ‘growing’ real food on the farms.

My mission through DNA (Desi Nutrition Academy) is to show you
How to shut off these destructive theories
and get back to the roots
to melt away the excess fat
to improve your health markers
to finally feel at home in your body

I help you come out of the adverse effects of SAD (Standard American Diet) and
step in to the abundance of NIT (Nourishing Indian Traditions)
and get Traditionally Rooted.

Challenges:

Putting my thoughts and process into a business structure was difficult. In a way it should be profitable for me plus my clients should experience the results.
Running a digital business is no joke.

I invested in a online business coach to learn how things work. How to set up my business funnel that allows me to do what I love to that is to serve people.

Having a coach is so useful whether it comes to career, or health!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love Seattle. its full of greenery. If it was a week long trip, then I would suggest you to cover Pike Place Market and Pier Port on day 1. Day 2 will be Mount Rainier with gondola rides and enjoy the snow. Day 3 would be Leavenworth road trip. The road trip itself is very beautiful.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes, definitely, I would like to thank my MOM. All the traditional wisdom I have been learning about is passed from my mother and her mother and her mother in law. She has shared so much of common sense nutrition aspects with me, which after implementing Me, my family & clients have seen tremendous results that go beyond weight loss.

I would request all of you to connect with your elders in the family and gain the precious knowledge that none of the research paper can publish!
