The inaugural World Food Future for Women conference spotlights females who are making an impact in the food and nutrition space. Hashirin Nurin Hashimi speaks to one of them, Ramya Ragupathi, founder of social enterprise Oh My Goodness!, on its mission for good.
FOR MOST OF HER ADULT LIFE, Ramya Ragupathi had suffered from acute rhinitis and sinusitis. So when she turned 30, she embarked on a health and wellness journey in a bid to combat her chronic health issues once and for all, and started reading up on the idea of “you are what you eat”. But the turning point came in 2013, when her hair started falling out. “That was my body talking to me,” she says. She turned to a naturopathic doctor who put her on a strict no-wheat and no-dairy diet.
“I felt so much better and also lost weight. You realise that a lot of these health issues come from eating foods that are not good for you, causing inflammation in your cells,” Ramya tells us. No mean feat for a self-proclaimed foodie, especially one who has been baking since the age of 16. Beside her daily food intake, she started changing up her baking repertoire, looking at recipes that use no wheat and dairy. She was in Europe studying for her MBA then, and later working in the impact space, so gluten-free foods were more readily available than they were in Singapore.
