Dr. Mini Mehra
Nik Kalra (Founder)
Hi, I’m Nik Kalra, and I’m 16 years old. I’ve been living with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) for my entire life, and I noticed a significant gap in support and resources for people like me. Inspired by my own experiences, I felt compelled to raise awareness about ARFID and create a space where others can find understanding and encouragement. My goal is to shed light on this often-misunderstood disorder and help foster a community that offers support, information, and hope. Together, we can make a difference!
