- Name - Ms. Anuradha Joshi

When I joined the Transcendental Residential Program (TRP) at Freedom From Diabetes, it was actually for my mother but little did I know, this experience would completely transform my health and mindset too. I had accompanied her only as support. My mother had been diabetic for 16 years, after years of strong steroid use that triggered her condition. But as I stepped into the TRP environment, I realized how deeply this lifestyle could change both body and mind and that realization changed my life forever.
Key Takeaways
- Lost 10 kg (63 kg to 53 kg) after TRP
- Corrected high cholesterol and vitamin deficiencies
- Adopted a plant-based lifestyle and gave up milk/tea completely
- Became active and consistent with exercise
- Helped her mother reverse diabetes and get off medications
My Health Story
Before FFD, I didn’t really think of myself as unhealthy. I worked in Hinjawadi, juggled long commutes, and managed my workdays with cups of tea and quick snacks.
I had never been overweight or so I thought until one day I checked my weight and saw 65 kg on the scale.
That came as a shock. For years, I had maintained around 47 kg, and now I had gradually gained kilos without realizing it.

When I joined TRP with my mother, I went through all the checkups cholesterol, Vitamin D3, B12 and realized my numbers were completely off.
My body was swollen, my energy was dipping, and I had no clue why.

It was the first time I paused to look at my health deeply.
How FFD Entered My Life
It began with my mother’s diabetes story. Around 2019, I had been searching for something holistic for her, something beyond medicines.
That’s when I came across Freedom From Diabetes (FFD).

What caught my attention were the reviews of people actually reversing diabetes!
When I saw there was a 7-day residential program, I thought it would be a nice change for my mother and me both.
So we joined our first TRP together without really knowing what awaited us.

That decision changed our lives.
My TRP Experience
TRP was nothing short of an awakening.
From the first day, we were immersed in FFD’s diet, exercise, and inner transformation protocols.
I realized how many food habits we’d blindly followed starting with our dependency on milk and tea.

We were the kind of family that couldn’t go a day without seven cups of milk tea.
At TRP, when we were served tea made with coconut milk, it was shocking at first but surprisingly comforting.
That one cup represented a huge mental shift.

The sessions opened my eyes to how food could heal. I learned about grains like Khapli wheat, the importance of salads, and the harm of white rice and processed oils.
I started cooking for the first time, experimenting with FFD recipes, and realizing that healthy food could be delicious too.

For both my mother and me, it was not just a program, it was a new way of living.
Transformation Journey
The changes that followed were incredible.
Within months of following FFD’s protocols, I lost 10 kg from 63 kg down to 53.
My energy shot up, my face looked fresh, and even my mood changed.

The same meals and routines helped my mother, too. Her medicines stopped within a few months, and her HbA1c came down to 6.1 completely medicine-free.
Seeing her transformation strengthened my belief even more.

At home, our kitchen changed completely. No dairy, no refined products, no processed foods.
We started innovating vegan versions of traditional foods, healthier snacks, and plant-based sweets that even our relatives couldn’t distinguish from the regular ones.

Even our cravings disappeared. Restaurant food, which once felt like a treat, lost its pull. Now, if I go out, I ask for a vegan version or simply carry my own food.
It’s amazing how one week of awareness at TRP can ripple into years of change.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, I live lighter physically and emotionally. I continue to follow a vegan lifestyle.
Supporting my mother through this journey taught me how powerful knowledge and consistency can be.
It also made me more aware of how much we depend on doctors and medicines without questioning the root cause.
