My Health Story
For years, I felt stuck in a cycle I couldn’t break. I had tried multiple diet plans, exercise routines, and lifestyle programs but nothing gave me lasting results.
At the same time, my health was getting more complicated. I was dealing with:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Severe migraines
- High inflammation levels
- Constant allergies and sneezing every morning
It felt like everything was connected but I didn’t know how to fix the root cause.
My weight had gone up to around 86 kg, and despite my efforts, it refused to come down.
The frustration was real. I started feeling like my body was working against me.

Even simple things like sleep became complicated, too much or too little sleep would trigger migraines. It was exhausting physically and mentally.
How was FFD introduced and what made me choose it?
I first got introduced to Freedom From Diabetes through social media, and at the same time, my cousin had already joined the program and was seeing results.
That gave me the confidence to explore it seriously. When I joined the initial session, my expectations were actually very low.
I remember thinking “If I can just lose 5 kg, I’ll consider it a success.”

That’s how stuck I felt at that point.
But something about the approach, especially the focus on root cause healing and anti-inflammatory lifestyle made sense to me. So I decided to give it a genuine try.
Mrs. Neeraja Ramamurthy IyerReversal Story
The first month was overwhelming. There were many lifestyle changes, especially giving up dairy, which was not easy for me as a South Indian.
But slowly, things started shifting. The biggest breakthrough came when I saw the weighing scale finally move.
That gave me the motivation to keep going.

Today, I weigh 68.1 kg. From struggling to lose even 2–3 kg, I ended up losing nearly 18 kg.
- But more than weight loss, the real transformation was internal:
- My inflammation levels reduced significantly
- Allergies and constant sneezing disappeared
- Skin issues improved
- Migraines became manageable
I also discovered how different foods impact my body.
Even a small “cheat” like lassi clearly showed me how my body reacts now, someth ing I was never aware of earlier.

Fasting Transformation
One of my biggest fears before joining was fasting. I had migraines and believed fasting would trigger them.
But I decided to take it step by step:
- Started with juice fasting
- Then 24-hour fasting
- Then 48-hour fasting, eventually extended it to a 3-day fast.
- And finally, the 9-day fasting challenge
The 9-day Fast For Freedom was tough, especially around day 6–7, but I completed it. This experience completely changed my belief system. I realized my body is far more capable than I thought.
Athletic Identity
Earlier, I loved high-intensity workouts like Zumba, step aerobics, and kickboxing.
But due to migraines and weight gain, I had to stop.

- Now, I’ve rebuilt my routine with:
- Surya Namaskar (up to 25 in one go)
- Yoga practices like Kapalbhati and others.
- Resistance training and weights at home
I am now gradually moving towards more strength training to rebuild muscle and improve body composition.
Current Lifestyle & Reflection
Today, my life feels completely different. I am not just lighter physically, but mentally stronger and more aware of my body.
I now understand what works for me and what doesn’t.

My family has also become a part of this journey. My husband joined the program after seeing my results, and even my mother is now inspired.
For me, this is not a temporary phase. It’s a lifelong shift.
Especially for women in their late 30s and 40s, I feel this awareness is critical. Hormonal changes can silently disrupt health, and without the right guidance, it becomes overwhelming.

This journey helped me rediscover myself.
