I am a long distance cyclist and a taekwondo player. I also practice yoga and was trained directly by one of senior instructors of Shri BKS Iyengar. And am hugely passionate about sports medicine, exercise physiology, diet optimization, ayurveda and toxin-exposure-reduction to drive optimized health and peak fitness. And I love analyzing data, which is my profession.
