A regular nutritionist gives you a meal plan based on your goals and food preferences. fitcru starts from your blood work — specifically the markers that explain why nothing has worked so far. The insulin resistance nobody tested for. The subclinical thyroid issue your doctor called borderline. The HOMA-IR that explains why the belly fat won't shift despite doing everything right. Until you address root causes, you're managing symptoms.

This is the profile we're most frequently asked about — and it's entirely workable. Every plan comes with a real-life layer: what to order at a client dinner, how to navigate a business-class breakfast, what to eat at the airport lounge, what to do in a hotel without a kitchen. If it can't survive your travel schedule, it doesn't belong in your protocol.

Prateek is on every onboarding call and reviews every protocol before it's delivered to you. Day-to-day coaching is delivered by his trained dieticians, operating under his methodology and with his oversight. Think of it like a clinic: you see the senior doctor at critical moments; the team manages the precision in between. You are never handed off to a stranger.

Because everything else you've tried addressed a symptom — a calorie deficit, a detox, a supplement stack. fitcru addresses root causes. The specific markers driving your resistance. The hormonal and metabolic inputs nobody has corrected. Until the root causes are addressed, the results don't stick. That's not your failure — it's the system's.

Yes — and we guide you through exactly which panel to get, and where. If you have recent reports (within 6 months), we start from those. If not, we recommend a specific panel through Thyrocare or Metropolis. The blood work is the foundation of everything. Without it, we're guessing.

You start with a 20-minute call with Prateek. No sales pitch — just a clear picture of what's happening and what's possible. If your profile fits, you share your blood reports, complete a detailed lifestyle intake, and Prateek builds your first protocol. You're in the WhatsApp group within 48 hours.

Most clients see meaningful changes in their blood markers within 8–12 weeks. Subjective changes — energy, sleep, mood, digestion — typically arrive faster. We measure everything at the quarterly review so you have hard data, not just a feeling.
