Mumbai, India | October 30, 2026 — FitNest Podcast, a health, fitness, and wellness podcast produced by Vigyapan Waale, has released the second episode of Season 1, featuring Divya Kaur Chowdhry, Nutritionist and Pilates Coach. Hosted by Vidya Raj Sharma, the episode follows Divya’s personal journey from 113 kg to a career in health and fitness, and examines why so many diets fail, how to begin with small and manageable changes, and which popular nutrition beliefs deserve a second look.
Released on Saturday, October 24, 2026, the episode continues FitNest Podcast’s commitment to honest, expert-led health conversations without sensationalism, clickbait, or media gimmicks.
Episode 2: A Transformation Built on Small Steps
With an MBA in Finance and a corporate career, Divya’s life looked settled on paper. In the episode, she speaks openly about the stress of her MBA years, emotional eating, the impact of the Covid period, and the moment she realised she could no longer breathe comfortably at 113 kg.
She also shares what went wrong in her earlier attempts, including losing 20 kg and 15 kg on separate occasions, only to regain the weight. Looking back, she attributes those setbacks to extreme dieting and the pursuit of instant results. Her approach changed when she began asking herself one simple question before following any diet: “Will I be able to do this for a lifetime?”
Divya later completed the 75 Hard Challenge, moved on from finance, trained in nutrition, and now works with clients as a nutritionist and Pilates coach, combining Pilates with functional training.
Key Topics Discussed
- Why extreme dieting is difficult to sustain, and why gradual change matters
- Starting a fitness journey with small, manageable habits, such as a 10-minute walk
- A simple plate method built around protein, fibre, vegetables, and smaller carbohydrate portions
- The role of protein and fibre in the Indian diet
- Why regular blood work matters, and when to consult a doctor rather than going it alone
- The rules of the 75 Hard Challenge and the discipline lessons Divya took from it
- Loose skin, strength training, and patience during a transformation
- Weight-loss plateaus and the role of everyday activity and walking alongside structured exercise
- Myth-busting on intermittent fasting, detox teas and juice cleanses, rice, and eating after 8 PM
The episode also highlights an important reminder from Divya’s own experience: during an earlier weight-loss phase, a routine blood test revealed a significant nutrient deficiency despite her feeling and looking fit. Her message is clear: looking fit on the outside does not always mean everything is fine on the inside, and qualified medical guidance should never be skipped.
A Responsible Approach to Health Content
In keeping with the platform’s philosophy, Episode 2 opens with a clear disclaimer that its content is intended for general education and awareness, not personal medical or nutritional advice. Viewers are encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian for guidance specific to their circumstances.
The experiences shared in the episode are Divya’s own and are not presented as guaranteed results. The aim is to help audiences approach weight loss with realistic expectations, patience, and better questions about their own health.
The podcast’s guiding philosophy remains unchanged: real experts, meaningful conversations, and information that puts people first.
