▸Can diet help with PMOS, PCOS or PCOD?
They are the same condition — PCOS was renamed PMOS in 2026, and PCOD is the older Indian term for it. Diet is one part of managing it and often a significant one. Dietitian Nirusha works alongside your gynaecologist or endocrinologist and will not change or comment on your medication.
▸My report says PCOS but this page says PMOS. Is that a different thing?
No, it is the same condition under a new name. In May 2026 the Endocrine Society and more than fifty other medical bodies renamed polycystic ovary syndrome to PMOS — polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome — because the old name suggested ovarian cysts that are not actually there, and hid the fact that it affects hormones, weight and metabolism too. Both names will be in use for the next few years, and older reports and prescriptions will keep saying PCOS or PCOD. Nothing about your diagnosis or your treatment has changed.
▸I am diabetic. Will I have to give up my usual food?
Usually not. What tends to change is the quantity, the timing and what goes alongside — the plan is built around how your day actually runs rather than a list of banned foods.
▸Will a diet plan replace my diabetes medication?
No. Never stop or change a prescribed medicine because of a diet plan. Tell Dt. Nirusha what you take so the plan works with it, and let your doctor decide about the medicine.
▸Do you help with thyroid problems?
Yes, as part of what your doctor is already treating. Diet supports how you feel day to day; it does not replace thyroid medication or the tests that guide it.
▸Can you help with high cholesterol or blood pressure?
Yes. These are among the most common reasons people come, and they are also where changing what a family cooks tends to show up in the next set of reports.
▸I want to gain weight, not lose it. Do you do that?
Yes. Weight gain is its own speciality here and it is not simply the weight-loss plan reversed — it needs different foods, different timing and usually more meals.
▸Do you write diets for pregnant women?
Yes, and for lactating mothers. Nutrition through pregnancy and feeding is one of Dt. Nirusha's listed specialisations.
▸My child is a fussy eater. Can you help?
Yes. Paediatric nutrition and school children's diets are part of the practice, and plans are written around what a child will actually eat rather than what they ought to.
▸Do you work with people undergoing cancer treatment?
Nutrition during cancer treatment is one of her specialisations. It is strictly supportive work, done alongside your oncology team, and never a substitute for treatment.
▸Can you help with anaemia?
Yes. Nutrition for anaemia is a listed speciality. Bring your latest blood report to the consultation.
▸I am an athlete. Do you do sports nutrition?
Yes — sports and gym diets are part of the practice, covering training days, rest days and what to eat around a session.
▸Do you write diets for older people?
Yes. Senior citizen and geriatric diets are a listed service, including plans that work around dentures, reduced appetite and multiple medications.
▸Can you give a diet for my whole family?
The plan is written for one person, but it is deliberately built from what your family already cooks so nobody has to make a second meal. Family members who want their own plan need their own consultation.
▸Do you do corporate or office diets?
Corporate diets are a listed service. Get in touch with the clinic to discuss what your organisation needs.
▸What should I bring to the first consultation?
Any recent blood reports, a list of the medicines and supplements you take, and a rough idea of what you ate over the last two or three days.
▸How quickly will I see results?
That depends on the condition, the starting point and how closely the plan is followed, and anyone who gives you a number before meeting you is guessing. What the month-end review does is show you what actually moved.
▸Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You can book directly. If you are under treatment for something, bring the details so the plan fits around it.
▸Can I get a plan without coming in person?
Yes. Video and phone consultations are available at the same length and the same fee as a clinic visit.
▸Will the plan change if my condition changes?
That is what the monthly rewrite is for. If your reports, your medication or your routine change, tell her and the next plan is built around the new situation.
▸Is any of this a cure?
No. Food is powerful and it is also not medicine. This clinic offers nutrition and diet consultation, which does not diagnose, treat or prescribe for any medical condition.
