Hello everyone,

I am Harish Chandra, a Professor of Microbiology from Haridwar.

My diabetes diagnosis came as a complete surprise during a health emergency. What started as what I thought was acidity ended up revealing much deeper health issues including diabetes and a serious heart blockage.

That incident changed the direction of my life.

Today, I feel healthier, lighter, and far more disciplined than I have in years.

My Diabetes Story

My diabetes diagnosis happened unexpectedly.

I had a minor health episode at my institution, which I initially assumed was acidity.

I visited a friend’s clinic, where ECG and other tests showed abnormalities. That led to more detailed investigations and the results were shocking.

Not only was my sugar found to be high, but doctors also discovered a 90% blockage in my LAD artery.

This was a wake-up call.

I also come from a family with a strong metabolic and cardiac history.

My mother is diabetic, My father passed away due to cardiac arrest. My mother has also had a cardiac episode

So in hindsight, the warning signs were always there. Yet, I had no classic diabetes symptoms.

No fatigue, no excessive thirst, no obvious signs.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

While researching diabetes treatment options online, I came across videos of Dr. Pramod Tripathi on Facebook.

His lectures immediately caught my attention. I attended the introductory sessions and Discover Reversal Session.

What intrigued me most was the concept of reversing diabetes through structured lifestyle change.

I was curious.

Honestly, I felt the team had discovered some kind of “magic formula” for diabetes reversal.

But once I joined, I realized the real magic was simply science, discipline, and proper guidance.

That changed my mindset completely.

My Reversal Story

Before joining FFD, I had only been on diabetes medicines for about 15 days. Soon after joining, the FFD medical team started closely monitoring my sugars.

At one point, my sugar dropped to around 55 and my HbA1c came down from 11 to 6.6 and later to 6, which indicated that medicines needed adjustment.

The doctors immediately tapered my dosage.

Initially, I was on

Metformin 500 mg
Half dose after 2 days

And within just 1 week, I became completely free from diabetes medicines. That was unbelievable for me.

Even my BP medicines were stopped within 1 month.

Today

Diabetes medicines: Stopped
BP medicines: Stopped
Lifestyle: Fully managed through routine

My recent BP readings are now healthy and stable

Earlier: 98/68, fluctuations common
Current: 119/77

A major personal win came recently. After nearly one year, I had a sweet (laddu) and banana offered by a friend.

Naturally, I was nervous. But when I checked my sugar afterward, it remained under 100.

That gave me immense confidence in how far my body had healed.

Weight Loss & Fitness Transformation

When I joined FFD, my weight was around 65 kg. Today, I weigh around 56 kg. That is nearly 9 kg weight loss.

My body is now much leaner. At present, I am in the muscle-building phase and focusing on strength.

Exercise & Athletic Identity

FFD completely transformed my relationship with exercise. Today, my routine includes:

Morning

Yoga
Kapalbhati
Anulom Vilom
Mandukasana
Other yoga practices

Evening

Gym workouts
20 minutes treadmill
Chest exercises
Calf exercises
Pulling exercises
Strength training

Cardio

Cycling daily for 1–2 km
This consistency has helped improve:
Muscle strength
Energy
Metabolic flexibility
Overall confidence

Inner Transformation

I regularly practice breathing and yoga-based calming techniques.

This has helped me stay mentally disciplined and emotionally balanced.

But the biggest inner transformation was mindset. I became deeply interested in health science after joining FFD.

In fact, I got so inspired by the program that I enrolled in a Diploma in Dietetics, Nutrition & Health from IGNOU.

My exam is scheduled in June, after which I will officially become a certified nutrition professional.

This is something I never imagined before joining FFD.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, I follow a disciplined lifestyle:
Khapli atta instead of regular wheat
Brown rice in moderation
Dal + sabzi-based meals
Chillas and omelettes for breakfast
Strict adherence to FFD guidelines

I can confidently say: My entire lifestyle has changed. This is no longer just about sugar numbers. It is about living with awareness, structure, and confidence.
