The Nutritionist That Rebuilt Women’s Health

Rashi Chowdhary has spent more than 18 years working with women facing health problems they are often told to simply live with. As the Founder and Chief Nutritionist of Nutrition In Sync, a Dubai-based functional nutrition practice, she works with women dealing with PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues, perimenopause, fertility concerns, and chronic gut problems across the UAE, India, the UK, and beyond.

For Rashi, this work began with a personal experience. Following her own diagnosis with endometriosis, she found herself searching for answers beyond simply managing symptoms. She wanted to better understand what was happening in her body and began looking more closely at the connection between nutrition, gut health, inflammation, hormones, and women’s health.

That experience eventually led her to build the practice she once needed herself.

Professionally trained in Human Nutrition and a Certified Diabetes Educator, Rashi has developed an approach that looks beyond a diagnosis or a single symptom. At Nutrition In Sync, the focus is on understanding the wider picture and helping women make changes around food, gut health, inflammation, hormones, and daily habits.

Today, Nutrition In Sync has supported more than 20,000 women through its programmes, including its signature ONE Program. Many women come to the practice after years of trying different diets, consulting multiple specialists, or feeling that their concerns have not been fully understood. The programme offers individual nutrition guidance and takes into account the different factors that can affect a woman’s health.

Rashi has become particularly known for speaking directly about the oversimplification of women’s health and the confusion created by restrictive diets and conflicting nutrition advice. She believes that “women deserve to understand their own bodies and should not have to fight to be heard when they are seeking answers about their health.”

This philosophy is reflected in the team she has built at Nutrition In Sync. The practice is staffed entirely by women nutritionists, who work with clients across different stages of life and with a range of health concerns. The aim is not simply to hand someone a meal plan, but to help them better understand the relationship between food, symptoms, hormones, and their own health.

Rashi is also the Founder and Chief Tasting Officer of Plaay, a chocolate brand that reflects another important part of her philosophy: eating well should never mean eating joylessly. While Nutrition In Sync focuses on helping women better understand their health, Plaay was created around the idea that nourishment and enjoyment do not have to be treated as opposites. Rashi herself has described the two businesses as being connected by a common belief that food should not be driven by restriction and guilt.

Her work has also received wider recognition. In 2025, Rashi was honoured as Best Nutritionist at the Vogue Beauty & Wellness Honours 2025, an event that recognised leading figures across beauty and wellness. Vogue India listed her among the event’s honourees, while Rashi described the recognition as an acknowledgement of the work she and her team have been doing to change the conversation around women’s health.

Beyond her practice, Rashi also shares her knowledge through workshops, talks, podcasts, and conversations on subjects ranging from gut health and PCOS to periods, hormones, and body literacy. Her work has helped bring these conversations to a wider audience, particularly by making subjects that can often feel complicated more accessible and easier to discuss.

At the centre of Rashi Chowdhary’s work is a belief she has carried from her own experience into the practice she has built: women deserve better information about their health, more space to ask questions, and support that takes their concerns seriously.

Through Nutrition In Sync and Plaay, she has built her work around two ideas that are often separated in the world of nutrition—health and enjoyment. For Rashi, understanding your body and eating well should not mean living with fear, restriction, or guilt. It should mean having the information and support to make choices that work for you.

After more than 18 years in nutrition, Rashi Chowdhary continues to challenge the idea that women’s health can be reduced to a diagnosis, a restrictive diet, or a quick solution. Instead, her work remains focused on helping women understand what may be happening in their bodies and giving them practical ways to take better care of their health.
