Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to help you understand our clinical consultation and nutrition therapy process.

Standard diets rely on generic calorie cutting, shakes, or fad eliminations that often cause muscle loss and hormonal crash. Dr. Sumaiya's Medical Nutrition Therapy is prescribed by a qualified Doctor (BUMS) and Registered Dietitian (RD). It is formulated based on your diagnostic blood chemistry, liver/kidney function, and pathophysiology to reverse the biological drivers of disease (such as insulin resistance and chronic inflammation) using your everyday Indian home foods.

Vegetarian meal plans can be discussed during your consultation. Dr. Sumaiya designs scientifically complete amino-acid profiles and low-glycemic vegetarian meal structures using lentils, paneer, sprouts, dairy, seeds, vegetables, and complex traditional grains without requiring foreign superfoods or meat.

Virtual consultations are identical in depth to in-clinic visits. Prior to your appointment, you submit your latest blood reports and medical history. Dr. Sumaiya conducts an extensive 1-on-1 video call, provides your comprehensive clinical meal and lifestyle prescription within 24–48 hours, and provides continuous direct WhatsApp check-ins and progress monitoring.

Yes. As a physician herself, Dr. Sumaiya understands pharmacological mechanisms, drug-nutrient interactions, and lab safety thresholds. As your glycemic markers (HbA1c, fastings), blood pressure, and lipid levels normalize, she provides structured clinical documentation so your prescribing doctor can safely reduce or taper your dosage.

For lifestyle fat loss, prediabetes, or general wellness, our flagship "Be Healthy Program (β‚Ή3,999/mo)" is recommended. For complex metabolic conditions (Type 2 Diabetes, PCOS, Thyroid, Fatty Liver, or IBS), the "Special Diets Program (β‚Ή4,999/mo)" provides specialized therapeutic protocols and closer clinical monitoring. You can also start with a "Single Comprehensive Consultation (β‚Ή2,599)".
