Hello All!

I’m Shanti Dasari from Navi Mumbai. At 59, retired and content, I now live a life filled with energy, confidence, and balance. But just a couple of years ago, my reality was very different pre-diabetes, thyroid fluctuations, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma. That’s when I found Freedom From Diabetes (FFD), and my life began to transform in the most holistic way possible.

Key Takeaways

Lost 11 kg and 4 inches in just 3 months (from 67 kg to 56 kg approx.)
HbA1c reduced from 6.7 to 6.2 without diabetes medication
Thyroid levels stabilised naturally without allopathic drugs
Rheumatoid arthritis and asthma managed holistically
Shifted from M/L size clothes to S, boosting confidence
Further fat loss + muscle gain after joining gym (Sep 2024)

My Health Story Before FFD

My encounter with pre-diabetes came as a surprise. While treating an infection, my doctor ordered a few tests, and my HbA1c came back at 6.7.

Though it was the first time I saw this number, I suspected it had been there for some time. Since it wasn’t high enough for medication, my doctor advised lifestyle changes.

I had always known I was at risk because my father was diabetic, and on top of that, I had been living with thyroid issues since 1997 when my TSH once touched 35.7.

Along with that, rheumatoid arthritis and asthma added to my challenges. The remarkable thing?

I managed all these conditions without conventional allopathic medicines, leaning instead on natural and holistic approaches.

How FFD Entered My Life

In June 2024, while scrolling through Instagram, I stumbled upon Dr. Pramod Tripathi’s reels on holistic transformation. Something about them struck a chord.

I attended the Discover Reversal Session, and the idea of a medicine-free, holistic program aligned perfectly with my philosophy. Without hesitation, I joined.

Reversal Story

Joining FFD marked the start of a complete transformation. In just three months, I lost 11 kg and 4 inches, bringing me back to 56 kg, my healthiest weight.

My HbA1c dropped to 6.2, achieved without ever starting diabetes medication. Even my thyroid, which had shown fluctuations earlier, stabilised naturally, with my TSH levels returning to normal.

Rheumatoid arthritis and asthma also came under control through holistic care.

One of the most satisfying milestones was slipping into S-size clothing after years of wearing M and L, which gave me a visible and powerful boost in confidence.

And the journey didn’t stop there after joining the gym in September 2024, I began building muscle while losing further fat. For the first time, I felt not just lighter, but stronger.

Discovering My Athletic Identity

I’ve always been active. In fact, even before FFD, I had completed a 100-mile trek from Mumbai to Pune. But after joining, I incorporated gym workouts into my weekly routine, something I’d never done before.

I am also a certified yoga therapist with a Master’s degree in Yoga, and I practise yoga daily, which keeps me physically strong and mentally calm.

Dietary Mindfulness and Ayurvedic Support

FFD’s dietary guidelines resonated deeply with me. They were mindful, structured, and adaptable to my needs. Because of my RA, I couldn’t consume sprouts, a common part of the plan.

But the team immediately connected me with an Ayurvedic doctor who suggested suitable alternatives. I was touched by the level of care and personal attention I felt truly supported, even living alone.

Mental Wellness and Inner Growth

While I didn’t attend formal Inner Transformation sessions, I regularly followed Dr. Tripathi’s morning talks and mental wellness videos. The program’s design covering physical, mental, and emotional health helped me find balance in all areas of life.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Though my official one-year program has ended, the FFD lifestyle remains my way of life. I still follow conscious eating, regular exercise, and yoga every day.

I’m active in my FFD WhatsApp groups and stay in touch with my Ayurvedic doctor. For me, this is not just a program I completed, it’s a lifelong commitment to health.
