R. Dhanusha

Founder · M.Sc Foods, Nutrition & Dietetics

Her story

Growing up in Eluru, Dhanusha spent her happiest hours in the kitchen — watching how a simple home-cooked meal could comfort, heal and bring a family together. That curiosity about food never left her.

It led her to study microbiology, biochemistry and nutrition, and then a Master's in Foods, Nutrition & Dietetics at Andhra University. During hospital internships she met patients living with diabetes and other conditions, and saw something that stayed with her: most diets failed not because people lacked willpower, but because the plans asked them to give up the food they grew up with.

As a hospital dietitian and later as a senior nutritionist at FitMom Club, she worked closely with new mothers, women recovering after childbirth and clients managing their weight. She checked their meal plates every day, took their calls at all hours, and learned that small weekly changes — not crash diets — are what truly last.

Diet Therapy is the result of that belief. Dhanusha brought together dietitians, doctors and fitness coaches under one roof so every client gets a plan built around local, familiar food, real support every week, and care that treats the whole person. Her promise is simple: diets that are sustainable, not temporary.
