My Diabetes Story
It was during my routine annual physical blood test in April 2022 that I received the unexpected confirmation—I had developed diabetes.
Given my family history, especially from my maternal side where diabetes is prevalent, I knew I was at risk, But the diagnosis still came as a wake-up call.

Although I wasn’t experiencing any severe symptoms at the time, I was increasingly concerned about my poor metabolic health. I understood that uncontrolled blood sugar could silently lead to serious complications over time.
The diagnosis pushed me to take my health more seriously and seek ways to address the root causes before things progressed further.

How was FFD introduced?
Dr. Pramod had visited the U.S. some time ago, and I had the opportunity to attend his talk at the Midwest Swaminarayan Mandir in Chicago.
His clear and insightful explanation of the biology behind insulin resistance and the role of diet truly resonated with me.
That session was a turning point—it convinced me to join FFD and take charge of my health.

Reversal Story
The FFD team took a deep dive into my health profile and designed a personalized plan tailored specifically to my needs. As soon as I began following it sincerely, I started seeing positive changes almost immediately.
My blood sugar levels stabilized, and I was able to stop taking metformin. My HbA1c dropped significantly from 8.2 to 6—a clear sign of progress.
Along with this, I was able to discontinue other medications too: my cholesterol medicine, Atorvastatin, was stopped; my kidney-related medicine, Lisinopril, Was no longer needed; and even my thyroid medication, Synthroid, was reduced.

But perhaps the most visible transformation was my weight—I lost 20 kg of excess fat, which completely changed how I felt in my body. I now feel more energetic, mentally peaceful, and much more in control of my health.
Through this journey, my understanding of metabolic health has deepened significantly. I have adopted the athletic identity of a gym enthusiast and truly enjoy strength training now.
One of the greatest takeaways has been the life lessons around taking full responsibility for my well-being. I am amazed at how much I have learned about food, flexibility, and strength through this program.
Honestly, I just wish I had come across this knowledge back in my 20s—it would have changed everything so much earlier.
