How My Health Coach Helped Me
Chittaranjan’s health coach, Riya Chowdhury, played a crucial role in his health improvement. Riya worked closely with him to make sustainable changes to his diet and lifestyle.
She designed a diet plan that managed his blood sugar levels while considering his CKD dietary restrictions. ‘Riya introduced me to a balanced diet that was both diabetes-friendly and kidney-safe,’ he says.
