We’re proud to bring to you the first AMA (Ask Me Anything) we’ve done on this show! You’ve sent your questions on fitness and nutrition into us, and we get them answered by two experts.
Chandni Haldurai is Cult Transform’s lead nutritionist, and Rahul Basak is a trainer at cult.fit who also designed the course curriculum for trainers. Together, they answer a lot of questions, including:
Creatine: Yay/nay?
How do I beat a weight loss plateau?
How to work out while traveling, without weights?
Will walking and good diet alone help me lose weight?
The scale is not budging :(
And many more. We cover a lot of ground in this interview, and we hope you find it useful. Many thanks to all those who sent in their questions. We will do more of these AMAs, and if you have a question, write in to [email protected]

In many of our interviews, we speak to fitness professionals such as trainers and athletes. And yes, they give us a lot of valuable tips and examples from their own lives in terms of how they keep fit. But you can make one argument: Well, that’s their job! Of course, they need to keep fit!
So today, we have a special interview for you. We have someone who has a demanding job, lots of side hobbies, and manages to keep incredibly fit at the same time - Ajit Bhaskar.
Ajit Bhaskar is a researcher by profession, but is also an Instagram chef, runner, podcaster and has a family! In the middle of all this, he manages to weave in fitness into his day. This episode not just has tips for busy working professionals on fitness, but around productivity in general, too!
We hope you enjoy this special interview, with Ajit!
