Hello!

I’m Anushree Vijay Bhave from Navi Mumbai. I work as a freelance graphic designer and translator, mainly translating from English to Marathi. My journey with Freedom From Diabetes (FFD) started after attending one of their conferences, where I witnessed real-life transformations and inspiring reversal stories. That day, I knew I had to be part of it and so did my husband.

Key Takeaways

Reversed pre-diabetes (HbA1c from 6.5 to 5.4)
Lost 10 kg (from ~70–71 kg to ~60.7 kg; lowest 58.9 kg)
Cleared the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) twice
Improved energy, stamina, and mental clarity
Regular meditation practice for the last 5–6 years

My Story

When I joined FFD in February 2023 (Batch 93), my HbA1c was 6.5 in the pre-diabetic range and I had gained considerable weight over the years.

I wasn’t feeling sick, but I knew change was necessary. My husband and I enrolled in the year-long Holistic Transformation Program with a shared determination to improve our health.

How FFD Was Introduced

At the FFD conference, I saw transformation stories that were both inspiring and real. On returning home, I shared my excitement with my husband. We didn’t waste any time we signed up together.

Reversal Story

Our journey began in April 2023, but the first few months were challenging as we were traveling abroad for almost three months.

Following FFD protocols while in Europe was not easy. I tried to adapt using available fruits and alternative milks, but it wasn’t 100%.

The real change happened after we returned in September. I committed fully to the protocol’s diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.

I joined Habit Yoga online, practiced regularly, and stayed consistent.

The results followed:

Weight reduced from ~70–71 kg to 58.9 kg at my lowest (now ~60.7 kg)
Cleared GTT twice
Maintained HbA1c in normal range

Athletic Identity

Today, I can say I’m far more active than before. Regular yoga, structured exercise, and better stamina have become part of my identity. I’m no longer just “trying” to be fit, I live it.

Current Lifestyle & Reflection

I meditate daily, a habit I’ve kept for 5–6 years thanks to the guidance of BK Shivani. It keeps me calm, focused, and motivated.

I’m also planning to include two fasting days a week and fine-tune my nutrition for even better results.

While I’ve maintained my reversal, I see it as a lifelong journey. Staying healthy isn’t about one victory, it’s about consistent daily choices.
