Bangalore's most trusted nutritionist and wellness expert since 2009.
I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15. I had to undergo two operations to remove cysts. Nobody guided me on lifestyle changes. There was no awareness and no one told me that food could change any of this. So I studied nutrition and dietetics, applied everything I learned to my own body, and watched what science and the right food could actually do. That personal experience became the foundation of everything I do for my clients today.
I grew up in Mumbai in a conservative family where pursuing a career was challenging. I was diagnosed with PCOS at 15 and had to undergo two operations to remove cysts. There was no dietary guidance, no lifestyle support, and no explanation of what food could do. I was determined to find the answers myself.
I chose Applied Nutrition and then Dietetics as my field, driven by a genuine need to understand how food heals. I was selected as a top performer in university and went on to work with QUA Nutrition, one of India's leading nutrition consultancies working with top celebrities in entertainment and sports.
I completed my Masters in Dietetics and Food Service Management, then went on to specialise further in Sports and Pediatric Nutrition. My academic foundation, combined with years of practice and experience, shaped the root-cause approach that defines how I work with every client today.
With my husband's unwavering support and three children to inspire me, I built what is today known as Nutritionist Anjum Sohail, my consultancy practice offering deeply personalised programmes built around Quality Sleep, Balanced Nutrition, Detox and Exercise. Alongside it, I founded Reset Nutrition, my dedicated supplement line formulated from years of practice. Together, they have touched over one lakh lives across India. I speak at corporates, schools, sports academies and organisations, because nutrition education should reach everyone, not just those who can afford a consultation.
"I grew up in a family where the odds were against me. I know what it means to push through barriers, because I have done it personally and and that is exactly what I help my clients do through nutrition."
Anjum Sohail · Nutritionist, BangaloreMy work focuses on the conditions I see most frequently in Indian women and men, and where nutritional intervention makes the most consistent difference.
My primary area of focus. I have worked with hundreds of women managing PCOS through diet, seed cycling, targeted supplementation, and hormone-supportive nutrition. My approach is built for Indian women eating Indian food.
The gut is at the root of more conditions than most people realise. Skin issues, fatigue, poor nutrient absorption, and inflammation all trace back to gut function. I use a phased, root-cause approach to gut repair that produces lasting change.
Weight resistance in Indian clients is rarely about calories. It is about insulin sensitivity, stress hormones, gut microbiome, and meal timing. I work on the root drivers, not the surface symptoms.
Thyroid conditions, both hypo and hyper, respond significantly to dietary changes. I work on the nutritional factors that support thyroid function and reduce the inflammation that drives thyroid autoimmunity.
For clients who train regularly and want to optimise performance, recovery, and body composition through nutrition. Building muscle and losing fat are not contradictory goals when the nutrition protocol is right.
Blood sugar management through food is highly effective when implemented correctly for the Indian diet. I work with Type 2 and pre-diabetic clients on sustainable dietary changes that reduce HbA1c and fasting insulin without extreme restriction.
I do not hand out generic meal plans. I investigate what is driving the problem, then build a protocol around the individual: their bloodwork, their food culture, their lifestyle, and their specific symptoms.
Before I recommend a single food change, I want to understand your bloodwork, your dietary history, your lifestyle, and your specific symptoms. A detailed food diary for the first two weeks is non-negotiable for gut and hormonal clients.
I do not change everything at once. I introduce one or two changes at a time, observe for two to three weeks, and then progress. This approach allows me to identify what is working and what needs to be adjusted.
Every recommendation I make works with Indian food and Indian cooking. Ragi instead of wheat. Cold pressed oils instead of refined. Curd, dal, sabzi, fermented rice. I have never asked a client to eat food they do not recognise.
I am not interested in 10-day detoxes or extreme protocols that produce short-term results and long-term damage. I build plans that clients can follow for months and years, because that is the only kind of plan that actually changes health outcomes.
Food does not just provide energy. Every meal you eat sends signals to your hormones, your immune system, your gut bacteria, and your brain. When the signals are right, the body functions. When they are consistently wrong, it does not.
In over 15 years of practice, I have never seen a restrictive diet produce lasting results. What works is eating correctly: enough protein, the right carbohydrates, good fats, and a gut that can actually absorb what you are giving it.Anjum Sohail
Reset Nutrition is Anjum's dedicated supplement line. My supplement line is Reset Nutrition. I started with one company and separated them deliberately, because supplements deserve their own identity and their own standard of quality. Every Reset Nutrition product is formulated around deficiencies I encounter daily in practice. I recommend only what I stand behind completely.
Formulated for the gut dysbiosis I see consistently in PCOS, IBS, post-antibiotic recovery and chronic inflammation. 10 strains for genuine microbiome diversity, not just a single Lactobacillus strain. Contains Wheat Dextrin as prebiotic fibre.
An oral spray for direct absorption, bypassing the gut entirely. Critical for vegetarians, anyone on Metformin, and clients whose B12 stays low despite tablet supplementation. B9 and B6 support the complete methylation pathway.
Supports sleep, healthy muscle function and relaxation. Magnesium Glycinate is the most bioavailable and gut-gentle form. Formulated for the sleep disruption, insulin resistance and chronic stress I see in PCOS and metabolic clients.
