About Us
Mellofit Labs founder Saji Sebastian is no stranger to the impact that poor physical health can have on mental health. It led him to embark on a career as a registered nurse. He began working on a medical unit where he witnessed firsthand the sheer devastation to the human body that poor lifestyle choices can cause. However, it was his experience in the Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada which served as the inspiration for MelloFit Labs.
Over 6 years in PES, assessing thousands of people from all walks of life in different stages of crisis, certain recurring themes began to emerge. Virtually every patient who walked through the doors of the Emergency Room was in some way compromised around sleep, nutrition, and movement, which accompanied situational or chronic anxiety. There was acknowledgement on the part of the patients that these areas were deficient and hospital resources were not able to adequately address these deficiencies. There was a gap in services that prioritized optimizing physical health as it related to mental health, so MelloFit Labs was born.
