Amita Mishra

Amita Mishra built her practice around a rare kind of credibility: she is a qualified yoga instructor (first certified in 2005), a Certified Sports Nutritionist, and holds a Master’s in Food Science and Nutrition from Shreemati Nathibai Damodar Thackersey Women’s University. That foundation — trained in both traditional disciplines and modern nutritional science — is what allows her to do what many nutritionists can’t: blend the wisdom of grandmothers with the rigour of clinical research, and deliver plans that are neither trendy nor punishing.

Her Mumbai-based practice, Anushasan, now boasts 20 years of experience and a global clientele that includes celebrity names. She has been featured as a nutrition expert at TheBridalBox and writes regularly for magazines and articles on weight management and lifestyle disorders. But the reviews that matter most to her come from clients who describe her as gracious, understanding, and patient — the opposite of the pushy, overwhelming health coach they had expected. “She’s made me fall in love with nourishing myself through the right nutrition,” one wrote. Another described how Amita crafted diet plans that seamlessly integrated into her lifestyle, made sustainable for the long term, and adapted based on seasonal availability.

What distinguishes Amita’s approach is her focus on strength and vitality — not weakness and depletion. She is allergic to the crash diets that leave clients feeling drained; her protocols are built around nutrient density, practical cooking, and the wisdom of traditional Indian kitchens. She is also a Zumba lover and a yoga instructor, which means her clients get movement guidance from someone who has actually lived inside a body that has changed. Her team at Anushasan follows up weekly, celebrating small wins, which — as anyone who has tried to change their eating knows — is often the difference between a plan that works and one that doesn’t.

Amita is also an author, a Bollywood movie buff, and an advocate for sustainable eating. She propagates, through blogs and social media, a message that is increasingly rare in the nutrition world: that your health should be built from food you actually enjoy, in portions that respect your hunger, with traditions you don’t have to abandon. For clients looking for a kinder, more intelligent way to work with their bodies, her practice is a uniquely considered starting point.
