Sometimes, life pushes us onto paths we never expected to walk. For Mahesh N S, that path began with pain—a constant, nagging battle with gastritis that left him drained physically and emotionally.
At the time, Mahesh was deeply focused on his thriving career in pharmacovigilance. He was disciplined, hardworking, and accustomed to solving problems with logic and precision. But this was a problem he couldn’t simply “work through.”
Despite consulting top doctors and following prescribed treatments, the relief was temporary. Worse, the long-term side effects of medications left him wondering: Was this all there was—managing symptoms for life?
That question became a turning point. Mahesh decided to look beyond prescriptions and dig into the root causes of his illness.
Healing the Body, Finding the Mission
Through research and trial, he discovered the profound impact of nutrition, lifestyle changes, and functional medicine. Step by step, he transformed his eating habits, incorporated mindful movement, and learned to manage stress.
Slowly, the symptoms eased. His energy returned. Life didn’t just feel normal again—it felt better. And with that healing came a revelation: If he could turn his health around, maybe he could help others do the same.
Planting the Seeds of GETFITWITHMAHESH
In 2020, Mahesh took a leap. With ₹1,00,000 as his starting fund and a vision anchored in personal experience, he founded GETFITWITHMAHESH. His mission was clear: to empower people with practical, personalized wellness solutions that worked for real life.
From day one, Mahesh’s approach stood out. He rejected the quick-fix culture of crash diets and extreme restrictions. Instead, he built tailored plans that respected each client’s medical needs, cultural food habits, and lifestyle challenges. Whether helping someone manage diabetes, overcome PCOD, or lose weight sustainably, his goal was always the same—lasting change, not temporary results.
The Science-Heart Blend
Mahesh’s background in pharmaceuticals gave him a unique perspective. He valued modern medicine but also understood its limits. In many cases, lifestyle changes could reduce medication dependency—and that’s where his work became transformative.
“It’s not about avoiding medicine,” Mahesh explains. “It’s about giving your body the chance to heal and thrive so you don’t need it as much.”
This balance of science and empathy became the cornerstone of GETFITWITHMAHESH. Clients didn’t just see results—they felt understood.
Going Digital, Reaching the World
From his earliest days, Mahesh embraced the power of digital platforms. Through Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and his website www.getfitwithmahesh.com, he shared bite-sized nutrition tips, inspiring transformations, and practical health advice.
These online spaces grew into a global community, where clients and followers supported one another, celebrated small wins, and stayed motivated on their wellness journeys.
Mahesh often credits his inspiration to Dr. Rujuta Diwekar, whose blend of traditional Indian food wisdom and modern science mirrored his own philosophy. Like her, he believes people shouldn’t fear food—they should learn to enjoy it in balance.
Climbing Over Challenges
The early months were not easy. Mahesh was still balancing his corporate role while trying to build a brand from scratch. There were nights when exhaustion whispered that maybe it wasn’t worth it. But his mantra—“Passion plus patience equals progress”—kept him moving forward.
Gradually, his reputation grew. Client referrals snowballed. The annual turnover climbed to ₹10,00,000. But more importantly, countless people experienced tangible health improvements—more energy, reduced medications, and renewed confidence.
Recognition and the Future
In 2025, Mahesh’s work was honored with the Global Healthcare & Wellness Award – Best Nutritionist, presented by Hyperedge. Yet, for him, the real victory is each client message saying, “I feel like myself again.”
Looking ahead, Mahesh dreams of expanding into a complete preventive health ecosystem—offering e-books, webinars, online courses, and corporate wellness programs. His aim is to help people understand that wellness isn’t an afterthought—it’s something you create every single day.
A Message to Dreamers and Doers
For aspiring entrepreneurs, Mahesh offers one simple truth:
“Start with purpose, not profit. Your authenticity will carry you further than any marketing strategy. Show up every day—even small steps add up.”
From battling his own health crisis to building a trusted wellness brand, Mahesh’s journey is proof that struggles can be the seeds of something powerful. GETFITWITHMAHESH is more than a business—it’s a movement, inspiring people to take back control of their health, one mindful choice at a time.
