TUCSON, AZ, February 18, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Aparna Kohli has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Aparna Kohli, MS, RD, CDN, is a globally trained clinical nutrition leader whose career reflects uncommon breadth across tertiary care medicine, public health systems, behavioral health integration, and private practice innovation. With more than 18 years of professional experience and having worked with over 10,000 patients across diverse clinical and community settings, she brings both depth and perspective to her field — experience that extends well beyond textbooks into the lived realities of human health.

Growing up in a culture where only medicine and engineering are looked upon as "serious professions," she not only chose Nutrition but remained steadfast in that choice. Guided by conviction rather than convention, she pursued both her bachelor's and master's degrees in Foods and Nutrition in India, building her expertise in a discipline she believed to be equally foundational to health and longevity. From early in her academic career, she demonstrated a sustained commitment to addressing complex health disparities, focusing her graduate work on the "double burden" of disease — the coexistence of malnutrition alongside rising metabolic disorders in developing nations. This dual lens on scarcity and excess continues to inform her clinical philosophy and systems-level thinking.

Her clinical training at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh — one of India's leading tertiary-care institutions — placed her at the forefront of high-acuity medical nutrition therapy, strengthening her clinical judgment and interdisciplinary leadership skills. She later expanded into public health, leading nutrition initiatives in underserved communities, where she refined a culturally sensitive, practical approach focused on sustainable behavior change. Through years of direct counseling, she refined an approach grounded in cultural relevance, practicality, and long-term behavioral change — lessons shaped as much by patient experience as by formal training.

Upon relocating to the United States, Ms. Kohli continued her clinical career at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. There, she contributed to interdisciplinary care teams, therapeutic diet development, and patient education initiatives while deepening her expertise in individualized, safety-centered care. Her attention to complex metabolic, gastrointestinal, and behavioral health considerations further strengthened her reputation for precision and trust.

Driven by a strong interest in the connection between gut health and overall well-being, she also conducted research in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at University of Massachusetts Medical School, deepening her understanding of the critical role the gastrointestinal system plays in health and disease. In addition, she worked in various other hospital-based outpatient settings, providing ongoing, individualized nutrition care and long-term support to patients managing chronic conditions.

Today, Ms. Kohli is the founder of Aparna Kohli LLC, a thriving private nutrition practice built on comprehensive, relationship-based care. Rather than limiting her work to a single subspecialty, she practices from an integrative perspective grounded in the understanding that the body's systems do not function in isolation. She firmly believes that gastrointestinal health, hormonal regulation, metabolic balance, emotional well-being, and lifestyle factors are inherently interconnected. Her clinical framework and treatment approach reflects this systems-based philosophy, addressing root causes rather than isolated symptoms.

Aparna Kohli combines cutting-edge nutrition science with compassionate care to deliver practical solutions for today's complex health needs. Across all her roles, she is guided by a clear professional philosophy: listen first, care deeply, and never underestimate the power of food to heal. Her work reflects a commitment not only to managing disease, but to empowering individuals with knowledge, agency, and sustainable pathways to lifelong health.
