Back2Basics Functional Nutrition

I am writing this review on behalf of my mom, who reached out to Niti due to concerns about elevated glucose levels, low energy, and feeling overwhelmed about what changes she needed to make. She was clearly in need of guidance and support. Over the course of two months, Niti worked closely with my mom to develop a structured plan tailored to her health conditions, dietary restrictions, and lifestyle. She conducted a thorough review of my mom's medications, lab reports, eating habits, and overall health history, helping her understand both the strengths and gaps in her current approach. Based on that assessment, Niti created a personalized plan focused on mindful eating, practical nutrition strategies, and targeted supplements that complemented her medications and daily routine. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, she took the time to understand the complete picture and explain the reasoning behind each recommendation. The results have been noticeable. My mom has seen improvements in her glucose levels and has more energy than before. The continuous glucose monitor she wears also provided valuable data that helped track her progress and better understand how different foods and habits were impacting her blood sugar over time. If you're looking for someone who takes the time to understand your unique situation and create a customized strategy, I highly recommend Niti. She is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in her clients' success.

Niti is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic nutritionist. The food/supplement plans and information she provides are current and well researched. The solutions she has provided to me for weight loss and overall health improvement are very effective, easy to follow and customized to my traveling lifestyle. Niti takes deep interest in your health and markers and comes up with food/nutrition choices that are tasty and produce results. She has also developed her own recipes one of which is a fantastic protein shake which keeps you satiated for hours and also tastes good. I highly recommend Niti as a nutritionist/dietician not only for weight loss but also to help manage food intake for optimal health and to slow down ageing.

I consulted with Niti at Back to Basics Functional Nutrition for some ongoing health concerns. I am very grateful for the guidance I received from Niti at Back to Basics. She took the time to understand my health issues and recommended probiotics, multivitamins, other supplements, and some dietary and lifestyle changes, including switching the cooking oil I use. I have been following her recommendations for the past year and half, and the results have been amazing. I feel more energetic, have significantly less brain fog, and have noticed improvements in my memory and overall well-being. These positive changes have made a big difference in my daily life. Niti is knowledgeable, supportive, caring, and truly dedicated to helping her clients achieve better health. I highly recommend Back to Basics Functional Nutrition to anyone looking for a personalized approach to wellness/ to improve their health naturally.

I did a 3 month program with Niti to help me with my GI issues, and she was wonderful! Throughout the very long and complicated process, she stayed a great source of support and guidance for food, supplements, and practices that would benefit me. She created a plan for each step of the process and ensured I kept up with it consistently. Overall, the journey introduced some good habits I have now adopted to my daily routine, and that would not have been possible without Niti.

At the beginning of the year, I suddenly started experiencing what felt like every possible early perimenopause symptom imaginable. It was overwhelming and frustrating because I didn't feel like myself anymore. I was searching for solutions that could help me manage these symptoms while avoiding birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy if possible. During my research, I came across Dr. Niti Shah on Google and decided to schedule an appointment. I went into that first appointment with a long list of questions and plenty of doubts. Dr. Shah took the time to listen carefully and answered many of my concerns in a way that helped me better understand what was happening to my body. Her knowledge, patience, and approach gave me the confidence to consider the program she recommended. I was still somewhat skeptical at first, but I decided to move forward with faith in God, myself, and Dr. Shah's guidance. Looking back, I'm grateful that I took that step. Dr. Shah has been supportive, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping me improve my health and well-being. And I am so glad that I did. Not only was I able to lose a few lbs of weight that I had thought was impossible to lose, but my overall health improved significantly as well. My perimenopause symptoms are much better now, and I feel more like myself again. I have more energy, better emotional balance, and a greater sense of control over my health. One of the most valuable parts of this journey has been learning and developing healthy habits that I can sustain long-term. Instead of looking for a quick fix, I learned how to make better choices for my nutrition, movement, sleep, and overall well-being. I am truly grateful for the improvement in my health and for finding a provider who understands the challenges women face during this stage of life. I would highly recommend Dr. Niti Shah and Back2Basics to any woman looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective partner in navigating perimenopause and improving her overall health.

We had an amazing wrap-up session for our Reset group. I am so grateful to Niti! I was able to almost effortlessly let go of 20 lbs. in 6 weeks. The last four weeks of the 10 week Reset, Niti taught us how to maintain our new weight. Because of her guidance, I joined her Continuum Club group. She helps us stay on track with scheduled monthly meetings packed full of information and inspiration. I will be forever grateful that I found Niti Shah Shah at Back2Basics

Day 38 of the Back2Basics 10 week Reset program. This has been an amazing journey and we are not finished yet. I reached the top of my weight goal range yesterday. The next few days will be devoted to creating a 5 pound range. This has been so much easier than I thought. Niti leads our group with weekly Zoom sessions packed with nutritional information. I've enjoyed doing this program with a group of people with the same goals. The Reset program is inspiring and motivating. The weight loss is incredible. I have gotten so many compliments because the weight comes off differently. It's hard to explain, but it does not make me look sick or old. I plan to join Niti's Continuum Club once I finish the Reset program. We will meet by Zoom monthly to keep the momentum going throughout the year. That's what I call support during maintenance. I highly recommend Niti Shah for your functional nutrition needs. She is amazing!

Working with Niti as my nutritional coach has been a truly transformative experience for my health and overall well-being. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand my lifestyle, medical background, and specific health concerns. Her approach felt very personalized rather than generic, which made it much easier for me to stay consistent and committed. One of the most significant improvements I’ve experienced under her guidance is the reduction in my HbA1c levels. Through carefully planned nutrition strategies, balanced meal plans, and consistent monitoring, I’ve seen a noticeable and sustainable improvement in my blood sugar control. This has given me not only better lab results but also more energy and confidence in my daily life. Additionally, her focus on hormone balance has made a meaningful difference. She helped me understand how food, timing, and lifestyle habits impact hormonal health, and guided me in making practical changes that have improved how I feel day-to-day—both physically and mentally. What I appreciate most is her continuous support, motivation, and ability to simplify complex health concepts into actionable steps. She is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in her clients’ success. I would highly recommend Niti to anyone looking to improve their metabolic health, manage blood sugar levels, and achieve better hormonal balance through a sustainable and supportive approach.

I was introduced to Niti of Back2Basics Nutrition in September as I was getting started with chemotherapy. During our first appt she took the time to share the importance of nutrition and eating intentionally with a keen focus on protein intake. She shared a detailed daily calendar of various food items I can / should eat to ensure that I was getting a good balanced meal. Her advice to eat smaller meals focusing on protein each meal and taking multi vitamins and supplements as needed based on my bloodwork gave me the kickstart I needed to get on this journey of wholesome and healthy eating. I had never focused on protein intake as much in the past and I must say that it has made a huge difference. In the last couple of months, with protein shakes, tofu, lentils, paneer, Greek yogurt, etc being staple part of my daily diet, I feel energetic, and have better stamina to go about my daily activities. While this has been a difficult journey for me and my family , Niti’s calm and encouraging demeanor and words have been a HUGE support and kept me focused on my overall health. Thank you Niti and Back2Basics Nutrition.

Niti's process works for me. Her flexible approach allows me room to adjust to my [dietary] plan more comfortably which - at least for me - will ensure that I will stick with the process for the long haul. She is encouraging and her recommendations continue to work for me.
