Mayuri Punjabi had an epiphany as she stood in front of a mirror, pinching the fat on her belly before injecting herself with a shot of medication for pre-diabetes. “This is not how I want to live the rest of my life,” the mother of two said to herself.

“I am here to thrive, not to merely survive,” the 42-year-old dietitian and life coach says about the mind shift that triggered the creation of Instagram account MyEurekaLife two years ago.

At first glance, the account looks like one of the many out there that post health- and diet-focused tips. Unlike those, however, the before and after photos of Punjabi’s satisfied clients suggest that her professional advice has made a significant difference in their lives.

One such client, Sushma Tilani, posted selfies dated January 8 and November 29, with the comment: “Working with Mayuri has changed my life permanently. We worked together for seven months and I was able to lose 33 pounds [15kg] and six inches [15cm] off my waist and hips.”

Punjabi’s clients include hundreds of Hongkongers, particularly from within the Indian community. Others live overseas, from Australia to the United States to Thailand, as she can advise and encourage her clients around the clock online or by phone. Demand for her services has grown after the coronavirus pandemic forced gyms and fitness venues to close, and social distancing measures have kept people from getting together.
