A panel on Metabolism and Poor Lifestyle Choices featured leading voices in women's health, including gynaecologist Dr. Vidya V Bhat, psychologist Dr. Paras Sharma, and athlete-entrepreneur Saraswathi Anand. Anand spoke of her journey from a busy professional and mother to an international powerlifting champion, urging women to find time for fitness despite packed schedules.
Nutritionist Ryan Fernando, founder of Qua Nutrition, conducted a high-energy session on common diet mistakes, advising women to focus on building muscle. 'Muscle is the hero in your body,' he said, calling for a systematic investment in strength training for lifelong health.
The summit, through its expert-led discussions, highlighted challenges such as PCOS, stress, and metabolic disorders, while offering practical pathways to better health.
