About The Author
I’m Smriti (Mia) Mehta, a 16-year-old high school student passionate about nutrition and healthy living. At BiteBalanced, I strive to simplify the science behind healthy eating for teenagers, making complex nutritional concepts accessible and engaging.
Growing up, I witnessed the impact of poor nutrition on my family through type 2 diabetes and on myself through constant energy crashes and persistent acne. This drove me to explore nutrition and health, eventually sparking a passion for it. Through BiteBalanced, I provide science-backed nutritional advice, practical tips, and delicious recipes to help teens make informed food choices.
In addition to running BiteBalanced, I’ve authored a book titled “Ella Eats: Discovering Healthy Choices,” which focuses on teaching children abut the importance of proper nutrition. I also host a podcast called “Food and Mood,” where I discuss the role that food plays on cognitive functions.
Whether you’re looking to understand the biochemistry of food, find healthy meal ideas, or learn how nutrition impacts the brain, BiteBalanced is here to guide you on your journey to better health!
