About Nerdz Health

Health advice for the rest of us: the people at the desk.

Most health advice online is written for athletes, fitness models or people with hours to spare. Nerdz Health is written for people who spend ten hours a day at a screen.

The engineer in back-to-back meetings

Nine to seven at the screen, and lunch is whatever arrives at the desk.

The IT professional on deadline

Skipping lunch, sitting through the afternoon slump, sleeping badly.

The working parent

Juggling a career and a home, and still wanting to feel healthy and alive.

Who writes this

Nidhi Talati

IT business professional and homemaker, Ahmedabad, India

Like many people in IT, Nidhi spent years watching colleagues, and herself, drift away from healthy habits: long hours, poor posture, stress eating, no movement, broken sleep.

She started with yoga, then fitness, then nutrition, and found that you don’t need to overhaul your life to feel better. Small, consistent changes work. Nerdz Health is where she shares what she has learned.

How we work

  • Start from published research and public health bodies, not other blogs.
  • Link to the original study, never someone else’s summary.
  • Try anything physical before writing it up.
  • Say plainly when the evidence is thin.
  • If something needs a doctor, we say so.

What we don’t do

  • Pretend to be doctors. We aren’t, and articles aren’t medically reviewed.
  • Publish paid reviews or sponsored posts without labelling them.
  • Let advertising or affiliate links change what we recommend.
