I had come to Sangamithra as a worried individual battling PCOS, who was on a binging-purge cycle and had a substantial amount of body image issues and anxiety. I was also very uncomfortable with food in general and felt super guilty eating anything I enjoyed. I must admit I was super nervous before I contacted her, I was in two minds because I was frankly traumatised by my earlier visits to other dieticians, who gave me extremely restrictive diets and shamed me for not following.

Mithra immediately put me at ease, she understood exactly what it was that I needed and were so lovely, I knew I was in good hands now. She really helped me change my relationship with food and my body!

The biggest change and frankly something that made me dance with joy was that, after I started my program in just about a month I had begun ovulating again. For a person with PCOS who wasn’t ovulating for over 2 years, this is a very big deal!I no longer get guilty over food, I am very mindful of what I eat, I have begun to listen to my body, and pick up on cues of hunger and fullness. I have become stronger and I feel comfortable in my body! Taking care of myself used to feel like a chore but not anymore.Thank you so very very much Sangamithra! You’ve really been a life saver, and thank you so much for all the lovely tips and recipes!

At first, it was every few years that I experienced stomach issues and as time went on, these issues became more frequent. This is when I decided that it was time to take action and transform my health. I did not want to let my gut issues get in the way of my daily life and it was about time that I started making attempts towards change. This was also when my mom, who has been super supportive through this journey, mentioned to me about Mithra, whom she had come across on Instagram and how she loved the way she explains and shares things. I decided to check Mithra’s Instagram account myself and agreeing with my mom, I decided to take a step towards booking my first consultation. 

I was feeling nervous yet excited before starting the program, nervous because by that time, I was pretty much feeling dejected and had resorted to the notion that I could not control what I was going through and excited because I was feeling good about having taken a step towards changing my lifestyle. Through the program, I learnt that my preconceived notions about my lifestyle were so wrong! Through Mithra’s systematic approach towards meal plans and daily check-ins, I learnt more on what I have been doing wrong and something that kept me going was observing physical manifestations of my efforts towards correcting my mistakes. I was also very happy with the alternative healthy suggestions that I had gotten from Mithra for the ‘ not so healthy ‘snacks I had been eating for a very long time now. 

This journey also had its downs along with the ups. On some days, I felt very discouraged and unmotivated when I started experiencing symptoms again and I would start to over-analyse what went wrong but Mithra reminded me that not everyday can be perfect, symptoms especially when associated with a particular food for example is unavoidable and what matters more is knowing what exactly it is that is causing the symptoms and how I can avoid it next time. 

Mithra has taught me that I am indeed in control of my own lifestyle and that the changes I make have the potential to create something positive in my life. I would not say that I am perfect now because each day, I am still learning something new and growing to become a better version of myself so one piece of advice that I would give to someone who is currently in the position I was in a few months ago, don’t be afraid to make changes to your life! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am grateful to Mithra for helping me through this journey and having been there through every up and down. She has not only imparted me with helpful knowledge and tips for my gut health & IBS, I have also improved my internal accountability to myself due to her presence as my external accountability and changed my perception towards my lifestyle. 

After a few years of experiencing digestive issues and then getting to a point where I realised it was affecting my quality of life, I decided to seek help and get to the root of my problems.

I have been following Mithra’s work on her instagram handle for a few months now and really liked her standpoint on gut health and nutrition.

Right from our first interaction Mithra was very thorough and professional, also at the same time very empathetic- that’s her working style. She made sure I was comfortable sharing my concerns and was prompt at answering any questions.

Mithra has a systematic approach to things and well evaluated my health needs to make a customised nutrition treatment plan. During the program and even after she’d take that extra mile to see if I’m set on the right track and progressing well.

My biggest challenge in this journey has been fear surrounding food and handling food sensitivities. Coming out of the program, I’m much more confident about planning my meals and better equipped with tools to deal with them.

Mithra also shares lots of creative ideas/recipes to help diversify the way one eats, plans a supplement regime and sets personalised weekly goals for optimum health.

It’s been a great experience to be able to learn so much through her program, totally worth it.

Thank you Mithra for all the insight, guidance and support. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who is on a wellness journey or looking for practical nutrition & lifestyle advice.
