Who can consult Art of Eating?

Support is available for people seeking practical everyday nutrition, metabolic and hormonal health guidance, menopause support or sports and fitness nutrition. Choose an area of care above, or ask the team which consultation fits your needs.

What should I have ready for the first consultation?

Be ready to discuss your goals, everyday meals, work or training routine, food preferences and relevant medical care. The team will tell you which recent reports, medication details or other assessment information they need and how to share them securely.

Can my plan include South Indian food and family meals?

Yes. Familiar foods, cultural preferences and the practicalities of cooking at home belong in the planning conversation. Discuss eating out, travel, vegetarian choices and overseas ingredient availability so the plan reflects your daily life.

How much do programs cost, and are taxes included?

The six program cards list the duration, included support and total charges with 18% GST. Ask the team to confirm the current fee and accepted payment methods before enrolment.

Can you help with tournaments, travel and supplement questions?

These are part of the sports nutrition services. Discuss your competition calendar, travel and food access, recovery needs and any supplements with the team. Supplements are not mandatory for everyone; recommendations depend on your individual context.

How do I book a first consultation?

Send an enquiry with your area of interest. The team will confirm availability, share the discovery and onboarding steps, and help you select a suitable program. An enquiry is not a confirmed appointment.

What happens before my plan starts?

The team will guide you through the discovery questions, consent and assessment. Share any requested health information through the channel they provide. Plan preparation follows completion of payment and the required information; the team will confirm the delivery date.

Will I need special foods or supplements?

Plans are personalised around your routine, preferences and available foods. The approach is food-first; supplements are considered only where appropriate to your individual context.

Can I join online from outside India?

You can enquire about online support from overseas. Include your country and time zone so the team can confirm consultation availability and follow-up arrangements. Food planning can account for local ingredients and familiar Indian meals.

Do you work with recreational as well as professional athletes?

Yes. Sports nutrition support spans recreational and professional training, competition, recovery, travel, vegetarian food choices and changing demands across the season.

Can nutrition help alongside a medical condition?

Nutrition support can form part of care for the health areas listed above, including diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver, pregnancy and menopause. It complements your medical care and does not replace a diagnosis, treatment or prescribed medication.

How do program payments, changes and refunds work?

Program fees are payable in full before the start. Payments are non-refundable and programs are non-transferable under the clinic policy. Request appointment rescheduling at least 24 hours in advance. Confirm all terms with the team before enrolment.

How are follow-ups and WhatsApp support handled?

Review schedules depend on the program and are listed in its details. The clinic policy allows 24–48 working hours for responses, excluding Sundays and holidays. Calls are by appointment. WhatsApp is not an emergency service.

Can I book a school session, workplace talk or keynote?

Choose the corresponding enquiry type below and share the event name, organisation, preferred date, venue, audience and topic. The team will confirm availability and the arrangements directly.
