About

Hi, I'm Chandra, a passionate registered Health Coach adept at improving patient health and well-being through effective coaching on positive lifestyle changes and weight management techniques. 

My coaching process is based on science, and backed by over 30 years of knowledge and experience from caring for people as a general physician across the world in India, Africa and the Middle East before emigrating to the U.S.A in 2015.

I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. 

Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? 

Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? 

As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole. As a health coach I help clients develop strategies that will help improve self-efficacy and bring about a behavior change that would generate sustainable healthy life. Practice at connecting with clients of all ages and health levels.

I have not only provided one on one consulting but also have provided my services as a Health and Wellness consultant to Reserve Bank of Malawi, where I developed and executed a comprehensive wellness program for the employees of the bank. As part of this program I was responsible for promoting the overall health and wellness of the internal employee population.  This entailed setting the direction for employee-wide health and wellness initiatives, communicating those initiatives to the leadership team and to the general employee population and ensuring their success through well-defined measurement criteria.

Testimonials

 The coaching program conducted by Chandra Khemani really helped me in getting more fit and happy . It's nice to see a program that focuses on more than just weight loss but making it a lifestyle change where it's more about making the right choices and being accountable for your choices . I liked that there were elements where I was being accountable for my food and exercise , focusing on what makes me happy and less stressful . Getting an idea that it's more than just exercising and not eating certain foods but rather it's about doing it for yourself and enjoying the food and chewing it properly etc . These changes although small really add up in a big change . Thank you for being my health coach and I would highly recommend this program to others who like me want to make a change but don't know where to start .

Calculating your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)

Your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is an estimate of how many calories you'd burn if you were to do nothing but rest for 24 hours. It represents the minimum amount of energy needed to keep your body functioning, including breathing and keeping your heart beating.


Use the BMR formula below to calculate a baseline:

Women BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
Men BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

To find out how many calories you burn based on our activity level, use the Harris Benedict Formula:

If you are sedentary (little or no exercise) : Calories Burned = BMR x 1.2


If you are lightly active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week) : Calories Burned = BMR x 1.375

 
If you are moderatetely active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week) : Calories Burned = BMR x 1.55

 
If you are very active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days a week) : Calories Burned = BMR x 1.725 


If you are extra active (very hard exercise/sports & physical job or 2x training) : Calories Burned = BMR x 1.9
