M. K. Jawahar: 12 Years Medicine Stopped In Just 1 Month
- Name- Dr. M. K. Jawahar Babu
- Age- 69 years
- Profession- Family Physician
- Place - Hyderabad
I am Dr. M. K. Jawahar Babu, M.B.B.S., a family physician who served the sick and the needy over the past four decades at Pondicherry. Two years ago, I discontinued my medical practice and am spending my time in the company of my 3-year-old grandson at Hyderabad.
From my experience, I can definitely say 'FFD is not only expertise in diabetes reversal but they know what true health means, in depth'. This is why I am free of co-morbidity too...free from cholesterol medicines.
I found out that I am a diabetic in 2010 in a routine health check-up. Since then, I was on Metformin 500 mg + Glimepiride 1 mg once daily.
I was also taking Amlodipine 5 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg + Telmisartan 40 mg for hypertension and Rosuvastatin 10 mg for cholesterol and Clopidogrel 75 mg since 2010. Faced problems with digestion too.
I have no family history of diabetes as such, but professional stress could have been one of the causes for me contracting it. Job as a family physician though extremely satisfying is definitely stressful.
So, I was on multiple medicines with multiple problems. Came to know about FFD through Facebook. Attended the Discover Reversal Session of Dr. Pramod Tripathi on 21st November 2020. Being a doctor myself, it was not difficult to grasp that Dr. Tripathi's approach and treatment were correct. So, I immediately joined the 65th batch of HTP.
My journey at FFD has been extremely educative and enlightening. The four pillars or 4 protocols - diet, exercise, inner transformation, and medical are just amazing.
FFD has rightly blended all 4 aspects. Just within one month of joining, I was advised to stop sugar, cholesterol, and Clopidogrel tablets by my FFD doctor.
My HbA1c when I joined FFD was 6.2 on medication. Now, it is below 5.2 and very much in the normal range without medications.
My weight at the time of joining was 72 kg. It reduced to 62.5 kg in just 3 months. BMI has come down from 26.4 to 22.56 now.

I had several queries in relation to diet, for example, I was skeptical about omitting grains for the breakfast. All the queries were answered to my satisfaction and I am very happy about it.
FFD people gave me appropriate advice according to the phases of reversal and explained muscle strength diet as well the most important thing, given tips about how to maintain weight.
The appreciating part is, the FFD protocol is very well planned and easily implemented by senior citizens also.
As I am a doctor I followed my diet protocol very strictly and it helped me a lot. I love chair yoga and meditation. The only thing I could not do regularly is journal writing.
I was appropriately guided about the glycemic ladder. I cleared IGT and hope to clear GTT in 2022.
Finally, my humble thanks to Dr. Pramod sir and each and every member of team FFD.
With regards
Dr. Jawahar Babu
