Hello
I'm Arundhathi, a Certified Vedic Nutrition Coach and the founder of Aahaaraveda Nutrition, where ancient Vedic wisdom is thoughtfully integrated with modern nutritional science to create personalised, evidence-informed nutrition programmes.
I hold a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences from England, a Fellowship in Clinical Nutrition from Apollo Medvarsity, and multiple certifications in Ayurvedic Nutrition, with specialised training in nutritional approaches for a wide range of lifestyle-related health conditions. My approach combines traditional dietary principles with contemporary nutrition to help individuals make sustainable, practical changes that support long-term health and wellbeing.
My Journey
Āhāraveda was born from a deeply personal journey.
In 2013, chronic back pain became a constant part of my life. Years of pain medication, muscle relaxants, nerve pain medication, and antacids gradually took their toll on my health. Within a few years, I developed autoimmune uveitis—a vision-threatening inflammatory condition that severely affected my eyesight and required multiple courses of steroid treatment. While these medications were necessary, they also brought significant side effects, including weight gain and further strain on my back.
As my health declined, I experienced recurring hospital admissions, prolonged bed rest, severe gastritis, digestive problems, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and persistent inflammation. Everyday activities became difficult, and even simple movement was painful. Like many people living with chronic illness, I often relied on convenience foods but they further worsened my health.
Determined to find a sustainable way forward, I began studying nutrition. I explored evidence-based nutrition through courses from Stanford University on Coursera and later discovered Ayurvedic nutrition. I realised that Ayurveda did not simply focus on energy and portion sizes—it recognised that every individual has unique nutritional needs based on their body constitution, lifestyle, digestive strength, and overall health. Simply put, "One man's food is another man's poison.".
This inspired me to pursue formal training in Ayurvedic Nutrition through an AYUSH-recognised institute, along with advanced certifications in areas including weight management, cancer nutrition, fertility nutrition, joint health, intermittent fasting, Vedic detoxification, and lifestyle disorders.
Applying these principles to my own life transformed my health. Within six months, I lost nearly 22 kilograms, regained my energy, and experienced improvements that I had once thought impossible. More importantly, I discovered a sustainable way of eating that supported my long-term wellbeing rather than relying on temporary diets or quick fixes.
That transformation inspired me to write my first book, Bespoke Nutrition, and eventually establish Āhāraveda Nutrition in 2024.
Today, I have the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide range of health challenges, including thyroid disorders, PCOS, diabetes, hypertension, digestive concerns, joint pain, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalances, weight management, and metabolic disorders. Every nutrition programme I create is individually handcrafted because I believe there is no single diet that works for everyone.
My greatest reward is seeing people regain confidence in their health, enjoy food without fear, and build sustainable habits that improve their quality of life. Āhāraveda is built on the belief that thoughtful, personalised nutrition can become a powerful partner in supporting better health—one individual, one family, and one meal at a time.
