Hello, I am Parikshit Gangurde from Thane. I work in a high-stress job with late-night emergency services, so my lifestyle was always erratic. I never had a family history of diabetes, but one day during a random check, my sugar levels were high. That moment changed everything. I came across FFD through Dr. B.M. Hegde, and the promise of living medicine-free is what pulled me in.

My Diabetes Story

My diagnosis came suddenly. During a routine random sugar test, the readings came out high.

With no family history and long working hours, I was shocked and confused.

The stress of my job and some personal challenges added to the imbalance.

I was started on three medicines, but I never wanted lifelong dependence. I wanted a way out.

How FFD Was Introduced & What Made Me Choose It

I learned about FFD through Dr. B.M. Hegde’s videos and was inspired by how simply he explained the science of lifestyle reversal.

My biggest motivation was simple: I wanted to become medicine-free. That’s when I enrolled.

My Reversal Story

Once I joined FFD, the transformation began steadily. I completed Fast for Freedom twice, and each time I could feel the difference.

My body felt light, I was full of energy & my digestion improved. In 9 days, I lost 4.5 kg, and overall, I have lost 10 kg from my highest weight of 88 kg. I improved my HbA1c from 7.8 to 5.9 in 4 months

My liver parameters SGOT and SGPT were previously 120–130, but after FFD they dropped significantly, and continue to improve.

My biggest struggle was bloating and acidity, which I faced almost daily. I would often need medication for relief.

Today, after FFD’s structured diet, fasting, and elimination of packaged foods, my bloating has reduced drastically, and acidity is almost gone.

Weight loss, improved digestion, and clean eating brought back my confidence. Even when attending parties, I now choose protein + vegetables mindful, aware, and intentional.

Journaling helped me emotionally during difficult phases. It gave clarity and kept me grounded. With the right support, my medicines reduced too, though stress sometimes caused fluctuations.

I’m working actively on stability and consistency again.

Athletic Identity

I used to run marathon races earlier, but a knee cartilage injury due to excess weight held me back. Right now, I'm rebuilding consistency.

My daily routine includes

Long hours of travel (2 hours one way + train changes)
Regular walking
Strength-building plans for muscle gain
Intent to restart gym workouts soon

Once my schedule stabilizes, I aim to rediscover my athletic side fully.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I feel lighter, healthier, and far more in control. My food choices are now conscious, my digestion is better, and my confidence has grown.

The biggest learning from FFD has been awareness knowing what to eat, when to eat, and why things matter.

I am committed to improving my schedule, practising meditation, and working toward complete medicine freedom.

This journey has taught me that change is possible at any age when you start listening to your body.
