Profession - Former Professor
Place - Bengaluru,Karnataka

Hello all,

I’m Rekha Santosh, 41, from Bengaluru. I’ve been a professor by profession, but I’ve been on a break due to family commitments. A couple of years ago, during a random blood test, I was shocked to find out I had diabetes. There were no significant symptoms, just persistent fatigue and low energy, which I brushed off as part of life. That test changed everything.

Key Takeaways

HbA1c dropped from 11% to 6.6%
Regained full energy and fitness
Got back to the gym and swimming after years

My Diabetes Story

I come from a family with a strong history of diabetes on my maternal side, so the risk was always there. But still, the diagnosis felt unexpected.

I wasn’t on any medication, but I didn’t feel well. Low energy and constant fatigue were becoming my new normal.

Then, during a podcast I happened to listen to, I heard about Freedom From Diabetes (FFD). Something about it struck a chord, maybe because I feared where this condition could lead if I didn’t act.

Why I Joined FFD

More than the numbers, the fear of the future pushed me. I didn’t want to wait for complications to pile up. I wanted to feel like me again. That podcast lit a spark, and I decided to give FFD a real chance.

My Journey with FFD

The results were beyond what I imagined.

I started with an HbA1c of 11%. I wasn’t on medication then, and I’m proud to say I’ve never had to go on it since. Within months of following FFD’s guidance, my HbA1c dropped to 6.6%.

More importantly, I got my energy back, started enjoying movement again, and began weight training and swimming activities I had missed deeply.

I had stopped going to the gym after my delivery.

Life got busy, and I forgot to make space for myself somewhere in it. FFD helped me reconnect with that part of me, the strong, disciplined, joyful version I missed.

Inner Transformation

This wasn’t just about food and fitness. One of the most beautiful parts of the journey was the Inner Transformation sessions. They helped me in ways I didn’t expect.

I started to love myself again. I began to trust myself, to believe that I could do this not out of guilt or fear, but from a place of care and strength.

Current Lifestyle

Back in the gym, enjoying workouts
Swimming and lifting weights regularly
Feeling full of energy and purpose

Athletic Identity

I proudly say I’m a swimmer and someone who genuinely enjoys weightlifting now.

My Experience with HTP

The Holistic Transformation Program helped me rediscover the best version of myself. I’m especially thankful to Dr. Pramod Tripathi and Dr. Malhar Ganla without their guidance, I may have never stepped back into a gym or believed that real transformation was still possible.
