Dr. Sana Afreen

Nutrition, to me, is never one-size-fits-all — it's the small, sustainable shift that fits into a real life. With a PhD in Food and Nutrition from SHUATS and over eight years spanning clinical dietetics, public health research, and university teaching, I bring both scientific rigour and hands-on clinical training to every consultation.

My clinical grounding began early, with internships and attachments at PGIMER Chandigarh and Jagrani Hospital, Lucknow, before I went on to specialise in adolescent and women's nutrition, chrononutrition, and diet-disease prevention. Today I serve as Assistant Professor in the Department of Food and Nutrition at Era University, Lucknow, where I also mentor students and lead nutrition-education initiatives.

My research has been published in international and national journals covering balanced-diet awareness, cardiovascular risk, hormonal health in adolescents, and personalised nutrition, work recognised at national and international conferences, including a Best Oral Presentation award at the World Congress on Clinical Nutrition. I'm a Life Member of the Nutrition Society of India and the Indian Dietetic Association.

For the last four years, alongside my academic work, I've offered one-on-one nutrition and dietetic consultations, translating the same evidence I teach and publish into practical, personalised plans for the people who sit across from me.

“What keeps me doing this work isn't the credentials — it's the moment a client stops seeing food as a set of rules and starts seeing it as something they actually understand.”

- That shift, from confusion to confidence, is what a good consultation is supposed to do.
