While not absolutely necessary, a basic blood test (analyzing your Hb, lipid profile, Vit D) and body composition analysis (measuring muscle mass, fat percentage) will help us help you better.

Question 4

What are key differences between one day consultation and the 28 days package?

Accepted Answer

Both will allow you to have a 1:1 video consult with Nirupama where your current diet and lifestyle will be assessed and you will coached towards your goals. While the one day consultation gives you a direction towards your goals, the 28 days program will do a deeper dive into your lifestyle, where the follow ups  will enable you to get your queries answered, find gaps in your adherence and provide appropriate solutions. The goal of the 28 days program is to empower you with tools you need for a healthy life ahead.
