Diabetes for a common man means raised blood sugar levels and immediate stoppage of sugar and rice. There are several myths revolving around diabetes too! One of them is that 'Diabetes is hereditary and runs in the family.
FFD has proved this myth to be wrong because even hereditary diabetes can be reversed. I have witnessed the tragedy of losing my grandfather and father both too early due to uncontrolled diabetes.
I also believe that it is the emotional eating, foodie culture of the family that I inherited along with the genes for obesity and diabetes.
About Myself
I am a Psychologist and a Life Coach. After reversing diabetes with FFD, I found I had changed psychologically because my body was free of disease. Everybody has challenges that cause stress, including me.
Mentally, I was also able to handle so many day-to-day stressful situations with a calm and positive approach. This inspired me to add lifestyle and health coaching to my counseling practice, and I am now a certified Integrative Health Coach from IIN USA.
So, my profession now is as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and I help people take charge of their health and their entire life and coach them to complete transformation of all aspects of life including food and exercise.

How I got to know about my diabetes
Approximately in 2008, it came up in my annual health check-up that the sugar levels were high for fasting and PP. At that time, I was advised to lose weight by my doctor.
Even I knew I needed to lose weight. I thought I was doing everything healthy, but it wasn’t working for me. In 2010, I was put on medication, until I found FFD in 2019.
What I Suffered with
Sluggishness and brain fog mainly. Giving up on doing things because of my inability to concentrate or think I am old and aging. Body systems were all working below the optimal level.
UTI, obesity, kidney function was compromised, irritable bowels, general low feeling. High lipid profile, cholesterol high, itchy skin, foot problems, frozen shoulder. Even thyroid profile was not clearly within range.
If you have medicines like Metformin, then it is a real problem for diabetics. If you eat, sugar goes out of control, if you don’t eat, you get hypoglycaemic.
It’s a roller coaster that never stops. Each bite of food you eat is accompanied by guilt and worry that it will raise your sugar level. And the food cravings… unbelievable… I used to be hungry all the time.
About my Diabetes Treatment
I was taking two tablets of Glycomet 500 mg, one Voglibose. With continuing HbA1c of 6.9 to 7.3 each time I went to the doctor, my medications were increased.
The trend was always showing that my health was deteriorating despite medicines. I was not getting any better with those meds.
How I came to know about FFD
My friend casually mentioned that her sister had gone to the TRP program and lost weight. The words “Freedom From Diabetes” were like music to my ears.
It echoed what I wanted – freedom from this disease which is such a slow poisonous killer as I had watched my father and grandfather. I wish an earlier avatar of Dr. Tripathi had helped them live healthier lives, but that is all past now.
I Googled and found the Mumbai center very near to home. There was an ‘orientation’ program the next day, which I attended and signed up for when I came out of that session.
Initially, I thought I will try the vegan food for one month and if it did not work for me, I will go to an Ayurvedic doctor for a cure. But the rest of my story is history.
My Diabetes Reversal journey with FFD
I embraced the food protocol completely… One hundred percent. It was such an upgrade on nutrition to eat a low glycaemic WFPB (whole foods, plant-based) diet!
Did a complete pantry makeover and threw out all white rice, atta, non-veg, dairy, and all the things which did not fit the protocol. I did not even keep these in the house, and still don’t.
In three days, sugar levels started falling and medicines started being reduced by FFD. In three weeks, FFD Doctors took me off the Glycomet. Now, it was up to me to maintain my sugar level with low glycaemic foods and the entire FFD protocol which continues till today.
In three months, I came down to my current weight of 65 kilos and BMI of 24. One year before, I had weighed 82 kilos plus. Can you imagine the joys of buying a new and trendy wardrobe? Earlier I used to buy clothes that would be loose and make me cover up my fat, now I buy proper fitting clothes.
How I feel now
These last three years have been the best years of my life. I am energetic, never tired, hungry only at mealtimes. I continue to follow all FFD protocols. When I am with friends, I enjoy vegan food in restaurants, totally guilt-free, and enjoy every morsel.
On the exercise front, I realized I did not want to become an athlete, so I do some form of physical exercise at least one hour five to six days a week – cycling, walking, running, floor exercises, Theraband. All parts of the body need to keep moving and active.
Now, I am clear-headed, alert, active, youthful, and all these parameters are under normal range. Food has really been my medicine, and Dr. Pramod Tripathi is my healer.
