Hello, I am a homemaker from Mumbai, and my journey with FFD has been a turning point not because of diabetes alone, but because of something much more complex: inflammation, autoimmune issues, and chronic pain that once held me back from living fully.
Key Takeaways
- Lost 5 kg without harsh dieting (71.4 kg to 66.6 kg)
- Pain reduced by 70%
- Cholesterol reduced from 298.5 to 205.1
- HbA1c at 5.7
- Improved sleep with magnesium and stress management
- Resumed yoga, walks, and strength training
My Story
My health struggles began when routine scans revealed nodules in my throat and high TPO antibodies indicating autoimmune inflammation.
Though I had no thyroid disease or diabetes, I carried a strong family history: my mother has been diabetic for 40+ years, and heart disease runs in my family too.
I didn’t want to start lifelong medicines immediately. Instead, I sought a natural, scientific way to heal. Years of severe body pains burning, throbbing, sometimes immobilizing had already taken a toll.
I had tried Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma, and physiotherapy, but nothing brought lasting relief.
How FFD Entered My Life
I had followed Dr. Pramod’s videos since the COVID period when I was in Singapore. The approach made sense, and when I learned about FFD, I finally joined to see if this holistic method could truly work for me.
My Transformation
In just six months, I saw a remarkable shift
Pain relief: 70% reduction, allowing me to walk, do yoga, and even include strength training without aggravating my condition.
Weight stability: Despite frequent social eating (my husband’s travel schedule often disrupts routines), I managed to not just maintain but lose weight steadily.
Cholesterol improvement: Brought down from 298.5 to 205.1.
Better sleep: Once a light sleeper, I now sleep peacefully most nights thanks to magnesium and relaxation practices.
Calmer mind: Earlier, I was always stressed and overthinking. Now, meditation and the Inner Transformation Programme have made me more composed and positive.
Inner Journey
Working with psychologist Udita taught me box breathing and emotional tools that improved my sleep and reduced anxiety.
I also embraced weekly 24-hour fasts, fresh juices, smoothies, and even a nine-day fasting experiment in which I followed only for two days.
During that time, I had just one meal at night, mostly soup and salad. However, I couldn’t continue with it
Now, I am preparing for the upcoming Navratri Fast for Freedom, planning to pause my Ayurvedic medicines to experience it fully.
How My Life Feels Now
Friends and family notice my slimmer, healthier appearance. I am more active, less burdened by pain, and mentally lighter.
Even during times of family gatherings and travel, I’ve learned how to balance joy with discipline, something I struggled with for years.
