Hello, I'm Harsha Nataraj
I’m 35, an entrepreneur from Mysore running an overseas education consultancy. I battled high sugar levels for years, but I refused to take medicines. Instead, I chose discipline. And with the support of Freedom from Diabetes, I brought my HbA1c down from 13 to 6.9 – completely medicine-free.
Key Takeaways
- Diagnosed in 2016, with a family history of diabetes
- Never took diabetes medication – 100% medicine-free journey
- HbA1c reduced from 13 to 6.9
- Weight dropped from 90 kg to 76 kg, then built back to 85 kg with muscle
My Diabetes Story
In 2016, an infection led me to a doctor – and to an unexpected diabetes diagnosis. I wasn’t surprised. My father had diabetes, and I had always known it might happen. But I made a decision right there: no medicines. I chose to control my diabetes with food, exercise, and mindset.
Why I Joined FFD
Though I knew how to manage diabetes, I lacked consistency. Travel, work, life – all of it would derail me. What I needed was structure and discipline. A friend introduced me to FFD.
I watched Dr. Tripathi’s videos, attended DRS, and knew this was the environment I was seeking. I joined the Holistic Transformation Program and gave it a full year of dedication.

Reversal Story
When I started, my HbA1c was 13. Gradually, it came down: 13 → 10 → 9 → 8 → 6.9
All without medication. I stayed consistent with food, movement, and mindset – and took only basic supplements like B12 or D3.
Weight Loss and Fitness
At the time of joining, I was 90 kg. With FFD protocols, I came down to 76 kg, but felt some muscle loss.
So I shifted to strength training, worked out with discipline, and built back to 85 kg of leaner, stronger mass. Now, I feel fit, energized, and strong again.
Rediscovering My Athletic Identity
I used to be a passionate cyclist, riding 100–120 km regularly.vDuring my weight loss phase, I paused due to weakness, but I’ve restarted now.
Strength training, yoga, trekking, and weekend cycling have become part of my life again.
Inner Transformation: My Work with Udita Ma’am
Working with Coach Udita Agarwal brought clarity and emotional balance. Her box breathing technique helped me calm my mind, and journaling helped me stay focused.
Today, I write every day. I set intentions, reflect, and stay connected to my goals – emotionally and mentally.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
I’ve found my rhythm. I’m more consistent. Earlier, I only had a short-term vision. Now, I see the long game.
FFD gave me structure, routine, and purpose. That’s what changed everything.
