My Story
My journey with diabetes began in 2012 when I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. With both my parents developing diabetes later in life, I knew I had to be careful. I managed my diet well for years to keep the disease at bay.
But things changed after personal tragedies struck—losing my father in 2017 and my mother in 2024. The emotional toll was immense, and it led to a sharp rise in my HbA1c, which reached 7.5%. That was a wake-up call for me.

Though I didn’t have major physical symptoms, The emotional and mental strain deeply affected me. The grief made it hard to focus on my health, and that stress pushed me across the threshold from pre-diabetic to diabetic.
It was clear that my emotional state played a major role in my diagnosis.

How was FFD introduced and why did I choose it?
Amidst my struggles, I came across Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s videos on Instagram. His holistic, medication-free approach to diabetes resonated with me.
My holistic doctor also encouraged natural healing, especially for stress. FFD’s philosophy aligned perfectly with my beliefs, so joining was the right path.

Reversal Story
I began my FFD journey with hope and hesitation, Juggling grief and a demanding job. Initially, it was hard to stay consistent, But as I committed, My sugar levels dropped back to the pre-diabetic range, And my thyroid improved too.
Inner transformation sessions—like gratitude meditation and journaling—were tough at first, but with Dr. Udita’s support, I slowly rebuilt my emotional strength. Physically, I lost weight, toned up, and was thrilled to see a flatter tummy again.
I had always been active with yoga and dance, But gym workouts, Especially after stretching, made a real difference. Encouraged by Dr. Sayali, I focused on strengthening my arms, legs, and shoulders and developed a solid gym routine.

Cycling had been my teenage passion—Cross-Country rides and badminton under my dad’s guidance. Life got in the way, but now I’m reviving that love. I’m choosing a new bike and can’t wait to start riding again once my home renovations are done.
Through FFD, I have found renewed energy, purpose, and joy—physically, mentally, and emotionally. I am reconnecting with my athletic self and embracing this powerful transformation.
Thanks to all the experts for their guidance and support.
