Tehzeeb Lalani
Founder, Scale Beyond Scale
Tehzeeb is a young and dynamic entrepreneur with a degree in Clinical Nutrition and Food Studies from New York University. She is the sole proprietor of a health and nutrition consultancy service called Scale Beyond Scale (SBS) where evidently enough, she helps her clients look beyond the weighing scale and guides them through a host of health woes-from diabetes to heart disease and everything in between. She contributes as a guest author for magazines such as Home and Happiness, The Active Times, Health Me Up, Diabetes Health, HealthBiz and B Positive. She has also made appearances on Zee Business, Care World TV and done brief stints for All India Radio and The Economic Times. When not working, speaking, writing or studying the latest health trends, she travels, does yoga, studies and speaks fluent French, rants about the benefits of awakening at 5:00 am and partakes in simple home cooking experiments. Petite, pretty, poised and wildly passionate, New York trained Tehzeeb comes as a new-age breath of fresh air in our otherwise un-stimulating health scene.
