Functional Dietitian and Yoga Teacher, Deepa Kannan

Deepa Kannan is a functional dietitian and yoga teacher who believes that all body systems are interconnected. Her company, Phytothrive Functional Nutrition Redefine, is leading a functional nutrition revolution. It arose from the churning of today’s lifestyle problems and diseases, which are spreading at an alarmingly fast rate over the world.

Deepa’s discovery of Functional Medicine and Nutrition, and how it positively and strongly impacted her own personal health difficulties, was a pivotal moment. Sleep nutrition, women’s health, liver health, detoxification, insulin resistance, skin health, and adrenal function are some of her specialties. She empowers her clients with functional medicine and ancient wisdom skills to help them reverse chronic health disorders.
Mental health disorders have a way of infiltrating the rest of our life, hurting us not only mentally but also physically. Deepa Kannan began her career as a Yoga Acharya, a Functional Nutritionist, and a Certified Food and Spirit Practitioner after discovering a means to work around her own mental health issues. Since then, she has combined her mastery of human anatomy with a comprehensive understanding of physiology to provide what can be described as true bio-individual mind, body, and spirit nutrition.

Her health writings are featured on YourStory every week, and Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, a 13-time NY Times Bestselling Author, has shared them twice. She also gave the opening lecture on Health Hacks to the executives of healthcare start-ups in India at Amazon Web Services & YourStory HeathTech 2019. She was named one of the top 100 digital influencers in the world by YourStory in 2020. She also hosted The Sleep Whisperer Podcast, which drew listeners from all over the world, including the United States, India, Russia, Canada, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Austria, Spain, and others.
