ABOUT ARCHITA
I’ve been where you are. That’s why I do this.
I’m Archita Mishra, a nutritionist and strength coach for women. I didn’t start here. I started as a corporate professional who was burnt out, unwell and struggling with my weight.
IIN certified, New York
INFS strength coach
Coaching since 2018 · 700+ women
MY STORY
How I got here
From a corporate career and a health crisis to coaching women through theirs.
WHERE I STARTED
Biotechnology, then an MBA
01
I studied biotechnology, then did an MBA in marketing. After that, I spent six years building a marketing career.
THE TURNING POINT
Somewhere along the way, I lost my health
03
All that hustle caught up with me. My energy and metabolism crashed. Even one flight of stairs was hard.
PCOS
Endometriosis
Fibroids
Weight gain
THE WHY
So many women were asking the same questions
05
The messages kept coming. That’s when I realised how many women just don’t have the right information, especially about hormones and PCOS.
TODAY
Still coaching, every week
07
I’ve been coaching women since 2018, more than 700 so far, online or in person in Powai, Mumbai.
95 → 65 kg
my own journey, held for three years
THE CORPORATE YEARS
Always on a plane
02
About four years in, I got the chance to become a partner manager at a big tech firm. I loved it. I was travelling all the time, often to Europe and Russia.
THE PAUSE
I made my health the job
04
So I pressed pause on my career and worked on my health, every single day. Then COVID hit, and I started sharing what I was learning on social media.
DOING IT PROPERLY
New York, and then strength
06
I went to New York and certified with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, specialising in women’s hormonal health. Then I certified with INFS as a personal trainer and strength coach.
