Hey, I’m Alisha. A wife, mom, fitness/nutrition/lifestyle coach. I dieted for over a decade, losing and regaining the same weight over and over. I was not only chasing a number on the scale, but I was also trying to be everything to everyone, which only left me feeling more exhausted and worse about myself.
I finally realized that if I was going to show up as the wife and mom I wanted and find freedom in my health I needed to work on my relationship to food, exercise, my body, and myself. I learned about the power of changing our brain (aka our thinking) - and our behavior- through habits that supported the healthy lifestyle that I craved. And now I’m ready to share everything I’ve learned with you!

Macros Made Easy for Vegetarian Moms: Eat Your Culture & Still Lose Fat w/ Neha Nautiyal
Can you track macros without losing your mind or cutting out the foods you love? In this powerful episode of The StrongHer Way, I sit down with Neha Nautiyal—a former chemistry teacher turned macro coach for South Asian moms—who shares how she transformed her relationship with food, body image, and fitness while raising two daughters and honoring her vegetarian diet.
Neha opens up about the cultural pressure she felt growing up in a South Asian household, the body shaming that started early, and the years of dieting, cardio, and restriction that led nowhere. The turning point? Discovering macro coaching as a path to true food freedom—and learning how to make Indian food work for her goals, not against them.
