Evolution is the necessity for growth and development. Such evolution has been happening since the past and it is still an ongoing process.
Each and every part of the Universe is evolving through transformations, by adjusting to their changing environment. These transformations are mostly good enough for progress. There have been vast phases of evolution in technology and medical science.
Myself, as a part of this Universe is not the exception and has evolved and helped the evolution of “Atreya Innovations ” a leading start up organization in the health sector.
My journey with Atreya Innovations as a Nutrition Wellness Coach began in 2021. Reaching out this position I feel my Graduation, Post graduation and work experience and skills helped me a lot. I have done my post-graduation in Biochemistry, which was based on physiology and the biochemical processes happening in our physiology.
The subject provides me in depth knowledge which is more practical oriented. After completing my Post graduation, I got an opportunity to work as an intern in Rotary club Blood Bank as an assistant Lab technician, where I used to do blood analysis. Further, due to some circumstances, my interest developed in the Nutrition subject. Then I did a PG Diploma in Dietetics, health and Nutrition. My Biochemistry subject knowledge was like a foundation for nutrition science learning and gained knowledge of nutrients, their role, various diseases, disorders, primary knowledge of Ayurveda also.
From those days Vaidya. Tejaswini Bhale became my mentor as she taught me Ayurveda and its principles.
For counseling practices, I worked as an intern Nutritionist in a renowned wellness center after completing my P.G. Diploma. After gaining this experience, my career geared up and started working in Gyms as a diet consultant. During this I got to know one opportunity of teaching and content writing of an educational organization. Teaching was not new for me as I played the role of home tutor during my internships, but content writing was totally new for me. While writing I came across many hurdles, which was again a learning phase for me.
Teaching and writing requires vast practical knowledge of that subject. Taking into consideration this I took one more step towards my evolution and did one more post-graduation in Dietetics, food service management.
Simultaneously I was working in wellness centers, health foundations as a consultant, giving seminars on health and nutrition for bankers and other organizations which didn’t detach me from my original profession of counseling. To get more clinical practice I worked as a diet counselor with a renowned Diabetologist. Here I could grab clinical practical knowledge. During this came to know that I should do some specialization in diabetes, taking into consideration the complexity of the disorder and its spread amongst the population. Out of enthusiasm I did Diabetic Educator certification where I became more clinically, practically sound as a Diabetic educator.
Till this I became versatile in my field, with my knowledge of Nutrition and Dietetics. I was planning meals and counseling patients for their disorders and diseases. Patients do trust me and my meal plans, lifestyle recommendations as I could convince them with scientific reasons. Holistic approach is the main skill of my counseling. I do trust that along with Nutrition there is an equal importance to psychological stability, and sleep.
During Pandemic situations these scenarios changed and adapted this situation as a new journey.
Here, I got an opportunity to work with Atreya Innovations as a Nutrition Wellness Coach which is an evolutionary phase of my Career path and life as well.
Atreya Innovations has developed a new product “Turyaa” a wellbeing health monitoring device, based on their mother invention Nadi Tarangini, which was the best connection between modern Nutrition science and ancient Ayurveda science by using A.I. technology. Nutrition science is the important domain of this organization where I contributed immensely. Earlier I was dealing with calculations of calories, nutrients and their use in various Diet therapy, here I took one more step towards my evolution by grabbing the knowledge of technology and ancient Ayurveda Principles in depth.
My expertise and skills have helped me to provide lifestyle recommendations with the modern outlook along with diet counseling and planning.
Research and development are the main areas of evolution of Atreya Innovations. In this area I learnt tongue analysis which was not the domain of my profession. My Nutrition expertise could help to improve the overall effectiveness of this device through the calorie counting and giving recommendations to the patient’s meals images which were sent through the app. During this journey Mrs. Shruti Kulkarni taught me how one can apply and combine Nutrition science with technology. Thus, she became my mentor of Nutrition science.
Atteya healthcare management products Nadi Tarangini and Turyaa provide a detailed patient history, based on geographic location, diet and water recommendations, Sleep and yoga exercise recommendations, which is a uniqueness of my profession and made me different from other Nutrition Experts.
Bonding between the patient and me has become stronger due to technology which Atreya Innovations created than the earlier days. Now I can confidently work no matter whatever circumstances are surrounding you!!!
Thus, Atreya Innovations and I both are successful sides of an evolutionary phase that helps us to rise and shine.
