Hello everyone,

I’m Pratyusha Theerthala from Hyderabad. 

 

I’ve always been conscious of my health and did full-body checkups every 6 months. In one such report in 2022, just as I was planning to conceive, my reports showed I had developed diabetes.

Though I didn’t have new symptoms, I had long been struggling with PCOS, inherited from my mother. Irregular periods, heavy bleeding, fatigue, these were a constant part of my life, and with diabetes, they only intensified.

What made it worse was the loss of my mother the same year. It was an emotionally devastating time, and physically, my condition spiraled. I had continuous bleeding for two and a half years.

On top of that, I was dealing with IBS, unclear diagnoses, contradictory treatments, and mounting confusion. The disc bulge I once had was fortunately healed by 2020but this new phase felt even more overwhelming.

How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?

I had once watched Dr. B.M. Hegde speaks about Dr. Pramod Tripathi and FFD. I initially wanted to enroll my mother into the program.

After she passed away, I revisited the idea for myself. In November 2024, I attended the Discover Reversal Session. It resonated deeply.

What struck me was how integrated FFD’s approach is. Unlike typical systems where each problem has a different specialist, FFD offers one place to address everything, body, mind, and emotions.

And that’s exactly what I needed. Despite financial hesitation, I realized this was the most efficient and compassionate way to heal and I joined.

Reversal Story

At the time of joining, my HbA1c was 8.4 (down from a previous 9.6), and I weighed around 79 kg.

Just by following the Phase 1 protocols, I lost about 4–5 kg in the first few weeks. Over time, my HbA1c came down to 5.5.

Due to my prolonged bleeding, I couldn’t consistently follow fasting or exercise plans, but I worked around my limitations.

The biggest change was in how I began to feel more energetic, more balanced, more in control.

This was the most significant part of my journey. I worked with Ms. Parmita Chakraborty, who was honest, insightful, and deeply empathetic.

I was carrying years of traumatemper issues, anxiety, fear, and a lack of confidence in becoming a mother. Paramita ma’am helped me reframe my thoughts and heal from within.

Her words“Is there something to learn from this?”changed my perspective entirely. I began to observe my patterns, practice mindful reflection, and take aligned action.

Slowly, I started rebuilding my confidence, especially in areas I feared the most like motherhood. Today, I approach that phase with readiness and belief.

Though I haven’t adopted a rigorous routine due to my health, I enjoy badminton and yoga.

I avoid jumping or aggressive movements due to my past disc issues.

But the shift is clearI now love being active and have started building my athletic identity mindfully.

 

I still experience weight fluctuations (70–73 kg) and my PCOS is not fully healed yet, but I know what’s working for me now.

I’ve learned how to listen to my body, adjust, and continue moving forward.

I now live with awareness, strength, and a sense of emotional safety I didn’t have before.
