2026 Body Transformation Masterclass: Lose Weight & Beat Bloating

This year begins with a RESET — one rooted in nourishment, clarity, and simplicity.

As the year turns, this episode focuses on building health that actually lasts.

I sat down with Pooja Makhija — nutritionist, educator, and bestselling author — for a grounded, no-noise conversation on food, lifestyle, and long-term health.
This isn’t about cutting carbs, chasing trends, or following extreme diets.
It’s about returning to the basics and rebuilding a calm, sustainable relationship with food.

Conversation Highlights

• Why food is neither your enemy nor your reward
• The real reason diets fail in the long term
• How your grandparents unknowingly followed powerful nutrition principles
• The truth about carbs, bread, and weight loss
• Why flexibility is the secret to sustainable health
• How your first meal shapes your entire day

Who This Episode Is For

• Anyone confused by nutrition advice online
• People tired of dieting, restriction, and food fear
• Those who want to lose weight without losing health
• High achievers seeking energy, clarity, and longevity
• Anyone ready to reset their relationship with food for good

Start 2026 by simplifying how you eat, how you think, and how you care for your body.
Because health isn’t about control — it’s about consistency.
