MEET MEENU, M.H.Sc, UGC NET JRF
Leading Nutritionist in India for Gut Health & Child Nutrition
You’re not failing at nutrition. You’re struggling to apply it consistently. Most people who work with me already know what they should be doing.
Yet gut symptoms keep returning, children’s food and behaviour feel overwhelming, or training results don’t match effort.
I’m Meenu Balaji, a qualified nutritionist in India with 14+ years of clinical practice across gut health, child nutrition, and sports nutrition. I specialise in closing the gap between knowing and doing, using science, behaviour change, and realistic food strategies.
Pragmatic Nutrition is built for real life: non-extreme, flexible, and focused on long-term outcomes rather than quick fixes.
