Innovation and Outreach
Founder, NutriAssist
Founded the initiative 'NutriAssist' to support 7 para-athletes from humble backgrounds by developing cost-effective, nutritious meal plans tailored to their specific needs.
Collaborated with athletes to study their nutritional requirements based on body weight, training schedules, and protein needs, resulting in personalized diet plans that helped them perform at their best.
The athletes supported by NutriAssist went on to win bronze and silver medals at the Para-Asian Games, reinforcing the importance of nutrition for athletic success.
Creator, Brochure on Insulin Resistance
Initiated a public health outreach project by translating my research paper into an accessible brochure; 500+ given to community centers and doctors offices , bridging scientific research with actionable health solutions.
