Dr. Sarathy is a Functional Nutrition Educator. She has a Masters in Chemistry and a Ph.D. in Environmental Chemistry. After her son (who has Down Syndrome) was also diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4, Vaish left her job at Intel to invest her time into nutritional research.
Over the next 5 years, she researched Ayurveda, Functional Nutrition and other traditional food traditions as they related to Autism and other disorders affecting children. She then trained in Functional Nutrition with Andrea Nakayama of the Functional Nutrition Alliance and now practices as a Functional Nutrition Educator, specializing in children with chronic health conditions.

Vaish explains how she works with families:
- I am here to help you reclaim your child’s health through the magic of food and lifestyle (and yes, supplementation, when required). The manipulation of food and the digestive/immune system is complex but extremely effective.
- I am here to take you beyond creams and pills. Beyond the band-aids that your PCP and several other specialists have likely prescribed.
- I take this journey with your child. Even if your child is non-speaking, even if your child appears to not know anything that you are saying, even if your child is aggressive, this journey is most effective when done with the child involved. I can help you integrate your child into this nutritional journey so it is truly done from a place of respect and communication.
- I am here for you and your child, and there is nothing I want more than for your child to live a full, healthy, thriving, intelligent and respected life.
