OUR STORY

A SYNTHESIS OF TWO WORLDS

Ayurveda + Modern Science

Ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern science point to the same truth: wellness begins at the metabolic level.

Where Alignment Begins

The daily demands of modern life place constant strain on the body’s core systems — irregular meals, chronic stress, poor hydration, limited sleep and constant stimulation disrupt the systems that regulate energy at the source. We’re left feeling wired yet tired, depleted, and caught in cycles of crashes and cravings.

This is a system out of alignment.

By combining Ayurvedic principles and the precision of scientific research, momentm creates wellness products designed to rebalance what modern life disrupts — systemic, intelligent, and grounded in both evidence and tradition.

Our philosophy is simple: address the root, not the symptoms. momentm helps restore metabolic rhythm and bring the body back into balance — so you can feel steady, clear, and resilient every day.

“When your metabolic fire — your Agni — is strong, the body and mind function in alignment. This is felt as steady energy, clear focus, efficient digestion and resilience to daily stress. When your metabolism is depleted, imbalance shows up as fatigue, stress, poor digestion, cravings, and mental fog.”

Our Founder

Guided by a background that bridges clinical science and ancestral healing traditions, Marise Saldanha founded momentm to redefine what modern wellness can be.

Her mission: to create formulas that honor Ayurvedic wisdom, are rigorously backed by modern science, and genuinely support the demands of modern life.

"I grew up between two worlds — the clinical rigor of my family’s pharmaceutical legacy and the holistic wisdom of my Indian heritage.
When I experienced burnout myself, I realized neither world alone held the full answer. momentm was born from that realization — the belief that science and nature are not opposites, but partners. That true energy is built through systems, not shortcuts. And that when we support the body at its foundation, we don’t just function — we move through life with steadiness, clarity, and momentum."
