I Don’t Treat Symptoms. I Decode Physiology.
I’m Shikha, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist specializing in complex hormone and gut imbalances through precision-based, lab-guided care.
Most people are told their symptoms are “normal.”
Fatigue. PMS. Bloating. Acne. Weight resistance. Mood shifts.
But normal does not mean optimal.
Hormones don’t heal through surface-level diet plans or temporary protocols.
They respond to systems, metabolic, digestive, neurological.
That is the work I do.
Why I Chose Functional Medicine
My foundation is in science.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Food Science & Nutrition and a Postgraduate Certification in Clinical Dietetics. I was trained in conventional nutrition frameworks, calorie structures, standardized diet charts, symptom-based adjustments.
But something didn’t sit right.
Women were following plans.
They were disciplined.
They were compliant.
And yet, deeper issues remained unresolved.
That’s when I realized food alone wasn’t the answer. Interpretation was.
Functional Medicine gave me what conventional training did not:
A systems-based lens.
Advanced lab analysis.
Understanding of gut–hormone cross-talk.
The role of nervous system regulation in healing.
And the ability to look beyond surface markers.
I transitioned from prescribing plans
to decoding physiology.
Today, my work is built on precision, not trends.
My Clinical Framework
As a Functional Medicine Certified Nutritionist (FMCN) and Certified Hormonal & Gut Health Specialist, my work integrates:
Advanced functional lab interpretation
Hormone–gut axis correction
Metabolic regulation
Estrogen clearance and detox pathways
Nutrient repletion and mineral balance
Nervous System Regulation (NSR) as a non-negotiable pillar
Because hormones do not exist in isolation.
They respond to digestion.
They respond to stress signaling.
They respond to inflammation.
They respond to metabolic stability.
And until those systems are aligned, symptoms persist.
My Education & Ongoing Training
In addition to my academic degrees, I am:
Functional Medicine Certified Nutritionist (FMCN)
Certified Hormonal & Gut Health Specialist
Trained with the Integrative Institute of Nutrition, USA
I continue to deepen my expertise through advanced functional medicine education and ongoing learning from leading global platforms and practitioners in the field, including Nordic Laboratories, Rupa Health, Precision Analytical, Dr. Mark Hyman, and other established functional medicine educators.
Clinical evolution is continuous.
So is my commitment to mastery.
What Makes My Work Different
I don’t focus on labels.
I focus on patterns.
I don’t chase quick symptom relief.
I build structured correction plans grounded in physiology.
I don’t rely on motivation.
I rely on metabolic stability, nervous system regulation, and disciplined execution.
Healing is not aesthetic.
It is biochemical.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals experiencing:
Persistent hormone imbalances
Thyroid dysfunction
Estrogen dominance
Chronic digestive disturbances
Stress-driven metabolic disruption
Fatigue despite “normal” labs
Complex cases that haven’t responded to standard protocols
If you’ve tried diets, supplements, and surface strategies, yet something still feels unresolve, you are likely not a simple case.
You are a systems case.
And systems require structure.

My Philosophy
Hormone healing is not about doing more.
It’s about correcting what’s misaligned.
It requires:
Precision.
Patience.
Pattern recognition.
And nervous system safety.
Because hormones do not heal in chaos.
They heal in structure.
