MEET OUR WELLPRENEUR

Our Wellpreneur, Dr. Akshita Mamania Mehta is a dentist by profession and a nutritionist & wellness coach by passion.
“Being a daughter to doctor parents, I literally grew up listening to stories of patients and from then on, medicine and healthcare has never failed to fascinate me. Although I went on to become a dentist professionally, my keen interest in general medicine always encouraged me to keep up with the latest diseases and their corresponding medicines. I even dreamt of doing research for an incredible drug someday.
However, with my own experience of migraine headaches, I slowly came to realize that medications have their limitations and they only mask symptoms temporarily. There was a point in my life when I was fed up with my migraine headaches and more so with none of the medications working effectively. It was limiting my life in some way and I was determined to find and eliminate the root cause of it. After several trials and errors, eventually I figured out that it was certain foods, and sometimes even the amount of food I ate! Curiosity got the better of me and I was eager to delve deeper into this. I took up several courses on nutrition that focused on the western, ayurvedic as well as naturopathic approach. In the meanwhile, I made small changes to my diet along with regular practice of yoga, meditation and pranayama, and saw how I felt so much better both physically and mentally. I learned more and more each day that holistic health is the best answer to most of the common health issues we face and moreover, to prevent disease, be emotionally stable and our most productive self. This made me think if my life transformed so much, why not share this with everyone else? And thus, Wellnessarium was born.”
