Senior Consultant, Paediatric & Metabolic Nutrition
M.Sc, RD
Formerly Senior Dietitian in the Department of Pediatrics at AIIMS, New Delhi, Ms. Anuja Agarwala is one of India's most respected voices in paediatric nutrition. She brings 34 years of experience in clinical nutrition, from everyday feeding concerns to complex metabolic and genetic disorders.
For 34 years, Ms. Anuja Agarwala has answered one of the hardest questions parents ask: is my child eating right? At AIIMS, New Delhi, where she served as Senior Dietitian in the Department of Pediatrics and now consults with the Genetics division as Senior Metabolic Nutrition Consultant, that question often came with the highest stakes. Children with type 1 diabetes. Children with epilepsy. Children with rare genetic and metabolic disorders where diet is not support care, it is the treatment itself.
Her training is genuinely global. She completed a Fellowship in Pediatric Nutrition at Birmingham Children's Hospital in the UK and is a Certified Genetic Metabolic Dietitian with the British Dietetic Association. She is certified in dietary therapies for epilepsy and autism, and trained in the FODMAP approach for gut disorders at Monash University, the institution that developed it.
She is the National Vice President of the Indian Dietetic Association and a member of the CII National Committee on Nutrition. Generations of Indian doctors have learnt nutrition from her work. She co-authored the Nutrition chapter in Essentials of Pediatrics, the standard textbook for MBBS students, and has 40 research publications in national and international journals.
At Lavender Lane, she consults on paediatric nutrition across the spectrum, from feeding difficulties and growth concerns to specialised dietary therapy for diabetes, epilepsy, gut disorders and metabolic conditions.
