Shreya .

Expert Nutritionist, Health & Fitness Enthusiast

Shreya, one of the leading dietitian of the country, even the most grievous diseases can be treated without surgeries or medications. ‘Dietitian Shreya’s Family Diet Clinic’ is a chain of 9 clinics across India. It is not every day that you come across an ardent personality who is not only an ideal paradigm for all entrepreneurs but also maintains a perfect balance betwixt personal and professional life. Motherhood brings more responsibility for a woman than anything else can. The difference is carved by those who don’t let life’s phases take over their aspirations. People flung around the word ‘choice’ heedlessly for women who have actually fallen into the trap of fencing their lives as a domestic keeper than achieving their goals. Albeit, nothing could acquire Shreya’s enthusiasm and stop her from pulling off her dreams towards reality.
