“Internet nutrition advice is blown out of proportion, fitness does not need to be this complicated. Water is not the end all of a healthy lifestyle- When you are dehydrated, you will know. It’s extremely stressful to keep thinking “I have to drink water” and 8 liters will not make your acne disappear. Instead focus on broader rules for overall well being. Workout, eat protein, drink (enough) water- taking care of yourself is that easy…just start!”

Today we’re joined by Dr. Siddhant Bhargava; the co-founder of Food Darzee and Bollywood’s most sought-after nutritionist. Having guided celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Pandey on their fitness journeys, he breaks down food habits, diet, and gut health into actionable steps.

Siddhant’s journey from once battling lupus and cancer to now thriving as an entrepreneur and nutritionist is nothing short of inspiring. Through personal anecdotes, he offers a comprehensive guide to crafting a diet that meets your body’s unique needs. In this episode, discover the truth behind organic food, keto diets, postpartum fitness, and more.

We got some real answers to questions like, “Are any sugar substitutes good?”, “Will drinking water clear my acne?” and “How can vegetarians consume more protein?”

In this episode, Siddhant shares practical tips for improving overall well-being, sleep quality, and tackling PCOS and diabetes through diet. Learn all about how to navigate nutrition with beginner friendly steps that facilitate real change.
