I had consulted Dr Sharmila for comprehensive diet plan. i was steadily gaining weight even after working out regularly, controlling portions, cutting out carbs etc etc. my energy levels were down and I frequently felt pangs of hunger.Ma'am suggested a comprehensive diet plan which included a proper meal planning and super-easy recipes. With these changes in my diet (mostly about eating healthier foods in proper quantities and frequencies), I am already seeing a lot of improvement just 3 weeks into the new diet! Overall, I am losing weight, feeling healthier and more energetic and don't have hunger pangs any more!!Plus there are a lot of yummy options in the meal plan..so it doesn't get boring!Thank you so much Ma'am!!

Consulted Dr. Sharmila Shankar for weight-loss program
Her detailed diet prescription alongwith recipes has been very interesting, comfortable & easy to follow. Fortunately most of the items are agreeable to me & relishable. For example, the millets, red rice etc. Another favourable point is that she has given a wide range of options for us to choose on any day. This really cuts the boredom & is very convenient for the preparer too. The time-spacing is also very comfortable. Mid morning & mid-evening sessions are welcome. So one never feels very hungry.
Last but not the least, with all these, to my surprise, within one month I lost 3 kgs!
Hence I strogly recommend Dr Sharmila for such weight-loss programs. The added advantage is she has concern for the client & is easily approachable-quick to answer your queries.
Visited For Detoxification
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfaction
I’ve worked with dr sharmila for both in person and remote detox. Both times she has been attentive and empathetic.
This time I did remote detox from the US and she was easily reachable by phone. She kept track of my progress and gave me the right advice when I had a few problems along the way. I was nervous about doing a detox on my own but her instructions helped a lot. I was glad though that I had done a detox in person before because most of the time, I was familiar with how my body responded.
But her instructions are pretty thorough and has a variety of food items in the diet as well so you don’t get bored. Highly recommend Dr Sharmila and her practice!

Dr Sharmila is a gem of a person and very dedicated to what she does.She is available on WhatsApp at all times and does go out of her way to help you and be with you.
Her knowledge of Ayurveda is complete and she can help you to heal every aspect of your health.
To keep healthy I think is very important to take the Virechana Theraphy yearly.Even after the Virechana Theraphy is over your body still keeps healing.
This is the 3rd time I have taken the Virechana Theraphy.
Thank You Dr Sharmila Shankar.

We had the best diet counseling from Dr. Sharmila for management of diabetes. My wife and I both had uncontrollable diabetes which got managed through Dr. Sharmila's diet plan. We followed it strictly. Within 3 weeks of the same, we have started getting results. From range for 250 mg/dl both on fasting and post prandial, we have come to achieving normalcy now. Thank you so much Dr. Sharmila. Also wanted to say that doctor is so accommodative and guided us on what exceptions can be also brought in to the diet at various frequencies.Once again thank you so much Dr. Sharmila.

A doctor's moral support and friendliness always upheld the patient's health. I became covid +ve and as I believe in ayurvedic medicine, first and foremost I consulted my ayurvedic physician, and started taking ayurvedic medicines immediately, I got fever for 2 days later I was having feeling that I have almost recovered. I was with constant touch with my doctor and updating her. On the 14 th day I got tested my CT scan and some other blood tests, all results were normal and all this was possible only due to our ancient ayurvedic medicines and the proper advice of doctor. According to me, ayurvedic medicines have worked wonders keeping my energy levels high throughout.

I was thoroughly impressed with the doctor's patience and involvement. She was thorough and took the time to understand my diet & lifestyle restrictions and needs, and planned my weight loss diet accordingly. In just one month, I have lost almost 5 kilos and I'm looking forward to seeing the results after the next two months! Being a vegetarian, it was easy to adopt. She didn't put me on any fad diet but only made me refocus on healthy foods and leave out processed foods. I feel healthier and my skin too feels clearer and brighter. Would definitely recommend Dr.Sharmila for anyone who is looking to lose weight in a healthy & responsible way!
