- Co-Founder, Steel City Health
Bindiya Nair (née Gupta) is the co-founder of Steel City Health and brings over fifteen years across wellness, consumer health, and global e-commerce.
She writes where the research and the tradition actually meet — and is candid about where they don't.
A practitioner of Ayurveda and aromatherapy alongside her commercial work, she reads the clinical literature and the traditional system with the same scrutiny. Her writing is for readers who want neither uncritical wellness enthusiasm nor a dismissal of everything outside the lab, but an honest account of what holds up.
What I write about
Gut & microbiome health
How the gut shapes everyday wellbeing — read through both clinical research and traditional dietary practice, without the hype.
Food systems & climate
What climate disruption to indigenous crops means for nutrition, resilience, and the traditional foods built around them.
Ayurveda & aromatherapy, evidence-first
Traditional preparations examined with a scientific and commercial lens — what the evidence supports, and what it doesn't.
