I joined Freedom From Diabetes not because I had diabetes, but because I had reached a point where my body was constantly asking for help.

Along with that came knee pain, bloating, constipation, frequent colds, inflammation, and overall discomfort.
Today, after joining FFD, I have lost 20 kg, reduced my HbA1c, improved my knee pain, and most importantly, regained confidence in my own body.

My Health Story
My health struggles started after my second pregnancy.
Since I had my second child at 39 through C-section, my body changed significantly.
While some pregnancy weight came down, a large portion stayed back stubbornly.

No matter what I tried, my weight refused to move.
I was doing intermittent fasting, regular exercise, and consciously trying to eat better, but nothing gave sustainable results.

At one point, I touched nearly 88 kg. That excess weight started affecting my daily life.
I developed knee pain, frequent bloating, constipation, gas issues, and constant inflammation in the body.
I also started worrying because I had a strong family history of knee issues. My mother and aunt had both undergone knee replacements.
Somewhere deep inside, I knew I didn’t want that future for myself. But the biggest trigger came from my children.
One day, my elder son innocently asked me about my tummy and body shape after my two C-sections. That moment hit me hard.
It wasn’t about body shaming. It was a wake-up call. I realized my children observe everything I do and I wanted to become a healthier example for them.
That was the moment I decided to take action.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
She herself had achieved a remarkable transformation through the program, even during menopause. Seeing her results gave me hope.
Initially, I was hesitant and joined the Discover Reversal Session.
Online programs were completely new to me, and honestly, I didn’t even tell my family or friends that I had joined.
I first wanted to see the results before telling anyone.

But something inside me said: “Just do it.”
And I’m so glad I listened.
Mrs. Padmini KumbharMy Reversal & Transformation Story
Before joining FFD, I was a hardcore non-vegetarian.
In fact, I never imagined I could sustain myself on a vegetarian or near-vegan lifestyle.
But once I started attending sessions, everything began making sense.
The experts, promoters, and moderators explained things in such a relatable and practical way that I felt deeply connected to the process.
Instead of forcing perfection, I followed the program with a simple mindset: just keep trying.
And that consistency changed everything.
Today:
- My weight has reduced from 88 kg to 68 kg in 7 months
- My HbA1c improved from 6.8 to 5.1
- My knee pain has reduced drastically
- My bloating, gas, and constipation have almost disappeared
- My inflammation levels have significantly reduced
- People around me now visibly notice the transformation.
- Many have even asked me what I am doing differently.
- And honestly, it feels amazing.
Fast for Freedom Experience
Although I could complete only 3 days due to personal reasons, those 3 days themselves gave me surprising results.
I lost 2 kg during the fasting period. More importantly, I realized something powerful:
My body is far more capable than I had imagined.
My body is far more capable than I had imagined.
Earlier, I used to feel like I couldn’t function without regular meals.
But after fasting, I understood that my body had been trained to constantly crave food not actually need it.
This mindset shift was a huge breakthrough for me.
My Athletic Identity
I have discovered that my true athletic identity is being a Yogi. I love yoga and have always had an inclination toward it.
Even before marriage, I used to practice yoga regularly, including:
- Anulom Vilom
- Kapalbhati
- Surya Namaskar
I don’t enjoy hardcore gym workouts or intense training. Yoga feels natural to me.
My dream is to eventually complete 108 Surya Namaskars.
I couldn’t achieve it yet, but I know I will definitely do it someday even if it’s in my 50s.
That is my personal goal.
Inner Transformation & Current Focus
One area I still want to work on is emotional health.
Sometimes, due to age, responsibilities, and life pressures, I feel frustrated and emotionally overwhelmed.
While this has reduced after joining FFD, I know there is still room for inner growth.
Currently, my focus is:
- Starting strength training
- Building muscle mass
- Continuing yoga consistently
- Working on emotional balance and inner transformation
My Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I feel lighter not just physically, but mentally too. FFD gave me far more than weight loss.
It gave me:
- Awareness about food
- Better digestion
- More energy
- Improved mobility
- Better confidence
- A complete lifestyle makeover
I genuinely recommend this program to anyone struggling with obesity, diabetes, or underlying health issues.
It is truly a game changer.
