Our vision

A world where plant-based eating is accessible, supported and celebrated.

We believe health consciousness alone is not enough. Accurate knowledge about the physical and emotional sides of health, and about diet and nutrition, is what leads to a healthier, happier life.

In a world full of myths about health and diet, we guide people through confusing and misleading information — with a focus on a Plant-Based Whole Food diet, intermittent fasting and an active lifestyle.

Lalit Kapoor, Founder and Director

Our founder

Lalit Kapoor reversed his own lifestyle diseases. Now he helps thousands do the same.

An IIT Kanpur graduate (1971) with an MBA from UCLA, Lalit built and sold two technology companies before retiring in 2005. By 2012 he was on medication for hypertension, diabetes, hypothyroid, gout, osteoarthritis and sleep apnea.

Through a plant-based whole-food diet and fasting, he lost 50 pounds and came off all medications — then started a WhatsApp health group for his IIT batch-mates that grew into a global community.
