Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Meenali Shankar Joshi: I was overweight and was struggling to lose weight being overweight is very painful found a few methods but none of them were affordable and manageable for a long time. I started understanding the science behind nutrition science and started working on my fat loss journey with help of a few coaches and Mentors what I found through my experience most of the time is we actually don’t know do we really want to lose weight and be overweight is very painful. It’s easy to lose motivation. When I lost weight I found it is possible to lose and why not create hope for others. There was one incident where I was helping my friend to lose weight as she was trying to conceive for the past 3 years and today she has the second baby. I realized this success story can create hope in someone’s life and bring that missing smile. Then why not do this work.
I come from a spiritual background it was a deep-down desire to be an instrument in people’s life who is ready for a transformation.
Initially, I lost weight and then started helping many friends and family members for free I found it was not just fat loss but Lifestyle transformation and the individuals finding their new persona. I couldn’t stop myself and my whole journey is to help individuals to achieve their fitness goals by helping them discover a food guru inside them that's the awareness state where they know what's right for their body and mind.
When I started seeing results in many I decided no matter what I m going to do this. This is how many journeys started.
