About Dr Akanksha
I’m a medical doctor (MBBS, MD – Preventive & Community Medicine) with over a decade of experience in women’s and children’s health, public health research, and evidence-based nutrition.
Through IYSA Nutrition, I help women, mothers, teens, and families understand their health calmly—without fear, fad diets, or overwhelming advice.
As both a doctor and a mother, I deeply understand how a woman’s physical and emotional health shapes her children, her family, and her long-term well-being. My work is grounded in medical science, but designed for real lives, real kitchens, and real routines.
