My Diabetes Story

My health journey was influenced by my family history. Both my father and grandmother suffered from diabetes.

Over the years, I gained nearly 10 kg annually, eventually bringing my weight up to 100 kg.
 

How I Found FFD

My search for answers led me to social media, where I came across one of Dr. Malhar’s Reels on Instagram.

His explanation of constant hunger, exhaustion, confusion around food choices, and insulin resistance resonated with my own experiences.

I began to understand how insulin resistance could be linked to my constant hunger.

Learning that the program also incorporated Ayurvedic principles further motivated me to explore it.

I attended the Discover Reversal Session (DRS) in November and subsequently registered for the program.

My Reversal Journey

My journey with FFD transformed my medical parameters from the ground up.

Under medical guidance, I implemented personalised dietary changes, including steamed vegetable smoothies that helped me manage my gut issues without triggering my sensitivity to raw foods.

My weight came down from 100 kg to 84 kg, a massive 16 kg weight loss in just 4 months!

Athletic Identity

Physical movement used to be a major struggle due to weak back muscles post-surgery and severe knee pain.

Joining the Freedom from Pain pilot and knee pain batches with Dr. Shubhankar proved life-changing.

I learned essential posture corrections, such as keeping my back straight during modified chair Surya Namaskars, and utilized resistance bands, foam rollers, and resistance tubes for muscle strengthening.

To keep my body active daily, I consistently perform the Nitric Oxide Dump (NOD) and follow a structured muscle-gain routine.

Being physically active no longer feels burdensome; it energizes me.

Fast For Freedom Experience

Fast for Freedom (FFF) was a major breakthrough for someone like me who used to be terrified of fasting.

The program prepared us incrementally, moving from 24-hour fasts to 48-hour, 72-hour, and ultimately a 5-day fast.

The third day of my 5-day fast was particularly challenging as my body transitioned into ketosis, accompanied by mild headaches.

I almost gave up, but the group energy and encouragement kept me going. Reminding myself of Dr. Tripathi's comforting words that our body fat safely converts into energy gave me the strength to push through.

Passing that hurdle brought an unbelievable surge of energy, cleared my gut, eliminated my fear of fasting, and proved to me how remarkable my body truly is.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

Today, my life is completely transformed. I am on a sustainable two-meal schedule, skipping breakfast effortlessly without experiencing hunger pangs, low sugar episodes, or migraines.

Even during periods like home renovations when I have to order outside meals, I now intuitively know what to eat and what to skip to maintain my health.

My weight remains stable at 84 kg, my energy levels are soaring, and I live without the dark cloud of chronic pain or diabetes hanging over me.
