Place - Bangalore, India

Hello friends
I am Anupama Varadarajan, a 48 years young homemaker based out of Bangalore. Before that, I was working as an IT professional for 22 years.

Why did I join FFD?

FFD's approach was holistic, end-to-end. Dr. Pramod Tripathi's energy and passion were simply superb all of which inspired me and gave me confidence about my reversal.

Family history

My maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather were diabetic. So, I have a strong family history.

My diabetes diagnosis

Around 2013, I had put on a lot of weight despite exercises and during a routine check-up, my BP had gone very high. Post this and some tests, the doctor diagnosed it as Insulin Resistance.

Problems I faced

I had typical weight issues and was suffering from PCOD. My psoriasis would flare up as psoriatic arthritis at times and had to increase the dosage of the same. Like most people, I had additional problems with cholesterol and BP too.

How did FFD happen?

Since I was diagnosed with Insulin resistance, under the guidance of my endocrinologist, I had managed to reduce my weight by 10 kg and successfully continued to maintain this. This was in 2014. To maintain my weight, I introduced millet into my diet and my glycemic control was pretty good.

Then during the pandemic, I started viewing YouTube channels with similar content and came across the posts by FFD. I had seen a few live session videos of Dr. Pramod Tripathi and got very curious about the whole thing. Then I started watching these videos with a deeper interest.

I also saw his sessions on 21-day reversal etc. At that time, I was skeptical about how a 21-day challenge would work and was not convinced. However, somehow Dr. Tripathi's passionate sessions re-kindled my interest and I signed up for the DRS session in October 2021, got myself enrolled in the FFD diabetes reversal program HTP batch 76 and here I am.

FFD journey

I began my journey with lot many problems like diabetes, BP, cholesterol, psoriasis, and extra weight. The least I know then it is going to be the start of a beautiful journey toward health.

This is how FFD helped me

	Before	After
Weight (kg)	60	48-50
Metformin (mg)	500	Nil
Cholesterol (mg)	10	5
BP (mg)	2.5	Stopped (told to monitor)
For Psoriasis (mg)	60	30
HbA1c	6	5.1

I had psoriatic arthritis which disappeared completely after a substantial amount of weight loss.

Impression

My journey has truly been transformational. I feel wonderful, never been fitter. My running has been effortless. On 16th October 2022, I completed my debut half marathon at Bengaluru - I consider this as a grand finale to my 1 year FFD journey and the start of a healthier and fitter lifestyle.

The whole program has been developed with deep passion. Beginning from a literal handholding at the beginning to smooth guidance throughout and an aim to make this a sustainable habit is the cornerstone of this program.

My heartfelt thanks to the entire FFD team. As I am nearing the end of this program, I am very confident that I can sustain this reversal for the rest of my life.
