Mitha Aahara [https://mithaahara.com/ Mitha Aahara (also styled as Mitha Aahara: Eat to Live) is a Bengaluru-based clinical nutrition and dietetics consultancy
founded by Ms Sreemathy Venkatraman, one of India's most recognised clinical dietitians and wellness nutritionists. Rooted in the philosophy of "Healing with Food," Mitha Aahara delivers evidence-based, highly personalised nutrition programs to individuals and organisations across India and internationally. The consultancy operates from its clinic at Eden Park, Vittal Mallya Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka, and offers online consultations for clients across the country and abroad.
History
Mitha Aahara was established in Bengaluru by Ms Sreemathy Venkatraman as a specialised clinical nutrition practice. Drawing on more than 23 years of clinical experience in hospital dietetics and therapeutic nutrition, Sreemathy built Mitha Aahara as a practice founded on the principle that food, when used correctly, is powerful medicine. The consultancy's unique selling proposition — "Healing with Food" — reflects its core belief that personalised nutritional therapy can address the root causes of most lifestyle and metabolic conditions, rather than merely managing symptoms.
From its inception, Mitha Aahara set itself apart from conventional diet clinics by following a rigorous, clinical approach. Every consultation at Mitha Aahara involves a review of blood reports, hormonal profiles, thyroid markers, blood sugar levels, and inflammatory parameters before any dietary intervention is finalised. The consultancy has steadily grown to serve clients spanning weight management, gut health, hormonal disorders, neurological conditions, fertility, mental health, and corporate wellness.
Mitha Aahara has been featured and recognised by leading national and international media, including Financial Express, Vikatan, OnlyMyHealth, Diaspora Times Global Edition, Silicon India, CIO Outlook, Swift N Lift Magazine, Women World India, and Insights Care.
