Dr Vaishnavi Sarathy is a Functional Nutrition Practitioner, a
TedX speaker and Podcast Host. She is passionate about giving kids
a fair chance at life through nutrition that sustains them, food
that prevents autoimmunity, nutrients that boost brain function,
and
a digestive system that works with a thriving microbiome. That also
means an equal education and assuming competence regardless of
appearance.
Vaish is a Functional Nutrition Educator, with two Masters and a Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry! Her life changed when her son was born with Down Syndrome and was later diagnosed as being Autistic. She explored conventional options for the first 4 years of his life including occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, communication therapy, horseback riding and doctors. Every practitioner she met told her that genetics could not be helped, and that she must resign to having a child who would experience extreme intellectual delay with minimal chances at life! She decided to train herself in nutrition. She knew how every kid could learn and that labels were mostly for the convenience of the system. Her son is 13, he does algebra, he writes poetry, and yes, he is still non-speaking! She believes that an equal accessible education and sound nutrition are the birthright of every child!
