Rashmi Gajree, Registered Nutritionist
Who is Rashmi Gajree?
I’m Rashmi Gajree, a Registered Nutritionist and founder of Rashmi Nutrition. At home, I’m a mum, a foodie, and someone who feels most herself in a beautiful dress with a good coffee in hand. In my work, I specialise in supporting women in their 40s and 50s who are exhausted, battling cravings, and feeling disconnected from their bodies. I don’t believe in restrictive dieting. I teach women evidence-based, realistic habits that stabilise blood sugar, improve energy, and help them reconnect with the spark I call the Sexy Switch. Before retraining in nutrition, I spent years in corporate finance, looking successful on the outside but feeling depleted on the inside. My own transformation is why I do this work now. When women feel energised, grounded, and confident again, every part of their life begins to rise.
What inspired you to become a nutritionist?
My journey began when I realised the issue wasn’t my discipline, it was the approach. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on caffeine and willpower. Learning about blood sugar, hormones, and stress physiology changed everything. Small, sustainable shifts gave me my energy and confidence back, and I wanted other women to experience the same. The Sexy Switch was born from that moment when a woman finally feels her spark return, not through restriction, but through nourishment.
What does the Sexy Switch aim to solve?
The Sexy Switch supports the midlife woman who wakes up tired, feels stuck in clothes she no longer likes, and senses she’s not herself. The programme addresses three core issues, unstable blood sugar that drains energy, midlife hormonal changes that influence weight, cravings, and mood, and the emotional disconnection that happens when a woman stops feeling like herself. When these pieces fall back into place, everything shifts, energy improves, cravings settle, and confidence returns.
Who is your ideal client?
She is a woman in her 40s or 50s juggling work, family, and constant responsibility. She’s capable but tired, craving structure that isn’t restrictive and support that understands her changing biology. She doesn’t want another diet. She wants to feel like herself again, energised, confident, and in control.
What is the first sign someone may need nutritional guidance?
Persistent morning fatigue. Waking up tired, even after sleep, is often the earliest sign that blood sugar, stress hormones, or midlife hormone shifts are out of balance. When energy collapses, everything becomes harder, food choices, mood, motivation, and confidence. Addressing this early prevents a cascade of symptoms later.
How does your approach differ from a typical diet?
My method is not a diet. It’s built around physiology, not restriction. Instead of focusing on calories or cutting foods out, we stabilise blood sugar, support stress hormones, and adapt nutrition to perimenopause and menopause. The process is flexible, satisfying, and realistic for busy midlife living. Sustainability comes from ease, not rules, and from helping women feel switched back on rather than depleted.
Your most memorable client success?
A woman in her late 40s came to me feeling invisible in her own life. Within weeks, her energy lifted, her cravings reduced, and she felt emotionally grounded again. But the moment that stayed with me was when she said, “I caught myself smiling in the mirror, I haven’t seen that version of me in years.” That’s the essence of the Sexy Switch.
How do you integrate real-life lifestyle, stress, and long-term habits?
We start by understanding her actual life, stress patterns, sleep, routines, and emotional triggers. Then we build habits that fit into her days, not ideal ones. We focus on balanced meals, nervous system support, stress resilience, and simple routines she can maintain even on her busiest weeks. This creates long-term change that feels achievable, not overwhelming.
Why is your programme particularly effective for women in their 40s and beyond?
Because it’s designed for their bodies. Midlife brings hormonal fluctuations, sleep disruptions, increased stress sensitivity, and changes in metabolism. Traditional diets ignore these realities. My programme works with a woman’s physiology and her lifestyle. When she understands her body and supports it properly, she stops feeling like she’s fighting against herself.
How do you support women who say “I’ve tried everything”?
Nearly every woman who comes to me feels this way. The first step is removing the shame. She hasn’t failed, she’s simply never had an approach tailored to her stage of life. We identify root causes, create simple habits that give quick wins, remove extreme rules, and build confidence back slowly. When her energy rises, her whole system responds, and she realises she was never the problem.
Common misconceptions you help women overcome?
The belief that they need more discipline, that eating less will fix everything, or that a strict diet is the answer. These misconceptions keep women stuck in cycles of fatigue and frustration. Once they understand their biology, the pressure lifts. They stop blaming themselves and start working with their bodies instead of against them.
What is the first step to working with you?
A free discovery call. It’s a relaxed conversation to understand your symptoms, your lifestyle, and what support your body actually needs. If we move forward, you can expect a personalised, evidence-based plan, simple habits that fit real life, deep support with energy, blood sugar, and hormones, and a compassionate space to be honest about what’s been overwhelming. The goal is lasting transformation, not temporary change, and supporting you to reconnect with the confident, vibrant version of yourself.
