About - Varsha Nutrition Protocol

VNP Credo

Varsha Nutrition Protocol (VNP) is a science-driven programme designed to create a sustainable approach to eating right. The key to this is personalization, which is achieved by factoring in goals, health conditions, environment, personal preferences, lifestyle choices and more.

VNP aims to defuse the hype behind some of the most common nutrition myths. Our recommendations are grounded in research, not what’s “trendy”. Our assurance to you — NO Fads, Only Science. Tried, tested, trusted.

How We Do It

Your personal nutrition protocol is built using data from two sources:

1. A Diagnostic Blood Test

Upon booking an VNP package, a certified lab technician will perform a home-visit and draw a blood sample from you. The sample is used to run a comprehensive series of tests to assess various biomarkers that indicate your health condition ranging from vitamin/mineral deficiencies to hormonal imbalances. This data is used to tailor your diet plan and correct a range of disorders through nutrition and supplements.

2. A Lifestyle Questionnaire

This is a specially designed questionnaire that you need to fill out. It captures your goals, body measurements, medical history, habits, lifestyle and food preferences. This data is used to further customise and refine your meal plan, ensuring that your protocol is easy to follow, achieves your goals, and optimises your health.

The Science

Data-driven, evidence-based, research-oriented.

A. Biomarkers

Some of us are aware of our health conditions and may have received a diagnosis at some point, such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol. Others may be experiencing fatigue, mood alterations or may not be feeling their “best”. Still others may be feeling perfectly healthy, and are unaware of some underlying condition, which if unchecked, can then develop into a disease. This is why VNP requires all clients to take a blood test so that we can perform a biomarker assay, regardless of whether you do/ don’t know of any health issues you have. We require data on your current condition to factor into the protocol that will be built for you.

Biomarkers are biochemical / cellular/ physiological indicators of health and disease. They don’t lie. They reveal the smallest imbalances in our bodies. The Biomarker Interpreter platform at VNP takes in this data and runs through ~500 calculations and scenarios to predict the possible reasons for any red flags, and how to better manage them.

The platform is developed based on findings curated from the NIH database for biomarker assays and their possible implications.

B. Macros & Micros

What are macros/macro nutrients? Macros are types of food components (e.g. fats, proteins, carbohydrates) that are required in large amounts, as opposed to micro nutrients, like vitamins and minerals, that are required in trace amounts for normal growth and development. The general approach to nutrition has been to restrict one particular macro group to achieve weight loss, for instance, the Atkins Diet, which is built around an ultra low-carb approach. While many of these fad diets can show fast results, they are far from sustainable and are potentially dangerous in the long run. There is a reason these nutrients are classified as macros — they are essential in ‘macro’ (large) quantities for your daily bodily functions, and any highly restrictive diet that excludes any class of nutrient is, quite simply, unsafe.

VNP uses your body measurements and activity level to calculate your specific metabolic rate, that is, the amount of energy you personally require based on what your body needs to function at rest, as well as what you expend through activity. This is used to calculate the optimal macro composition for your body and goals, and is presented to you as a set of great meal options that carefully deliver exactly what is best, in the ratio that is appropriate for YOU.

VNP goes beyond the macros. We also look into micro nutrient deficiencies and your protocol will include supplements you can take, as well as natural food sources to combat any deficiencies.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. This is custom-built, just for you.
