Dr. Umesh Wadhavani sits down with me to talk about the myths related to diet, nutrition and weight loss. He effortlessly sets a correlation between a Car and Human body, which is so easy to understand and therefore practical to implement. His worry for the Indian housewives and mothers is justified and I truly appreciate him starting this sort of a discussion which highlights on the importance of self care. He also talks in depth about the direct relationship between our gut and mental health.   

Umesh is a nutritionist, wellness expert and mental health professional. He is the founder of Simply Wellness, a virtual clinic that seeks to address the issues and concerns of people suffering from diabetes, PCOD, hypertension and much more. He brings a unique amalgamation of storytelling, comedy and wellness. Definitely a creative way to connect with the masses for the right reasons.
