At the age of 64, when most people do not have the energy to take up a new challenge, her willingness to become healthy is really commendable!

Supriya was suffering from diabetes and breathing issues for a long time. Due to this, walking for more than 15 mins has always been a challenging task for her!

She was concerned about her increased weight and feeling of weakness and low stamina and tried all possible treatments. She had taken many medicines but there were no results to show!

Fortunately, she connected with a coach in Wellness Quotient and started her wellness journey, though she was not sure if this would help her in any way!

But her trust in Wellness Quotient and her coach kept her consistent with her efforts for 4 months and the results were pleasantly surprising!

When asked about how she got benefited she was excited to list down the improvements:

* Fasting blood sugar reduced from 130 to 87.5

* Postprandial sugar reduced from 180 to 100

* Digestive health improved

* Lost 6 kg weight.

* Energy levels and Stamina improved.

* Breathing issues resolved.

Supriya is so happy these days and is blessing the Wellness Quotient community with her happy heart!

Ashutosh, though he was overweight, was very active. He was surprised when he was diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes at the age of 37. At that time, he approached a WQ coach who had helped his wife earlier for her fitness.

As Ashutosh was a foody and a little undisciplined with his health earlier, his wife was unsure if he would be ready for a lifestyle change.

Ashutosh and his coach took it as a challenge and personalized his program according to his schedule and choices.

In 3 months' time, he was free from diabetes, he lost 15 kg, his energy levels improved and he is loving his new way of living.

Ashutosh still meditates, exercises, and eats healthy, even after a year now as he loves his new healthy lifestyle.

His wife is super proud of him as it's a very happy healthy household now.

"Together, it's easier!", says Sreekumar and Laxmi, reiterating the Wellness Quotient community tagline!

One person is all it takes to make a change in a family. Sree started his journey to better health when he saw his wife Laxmi re-vamp her lifestyle and get fit.

He decided to lose weight gradually in a manner that fit his hectic job profile.

He found the WQ meditation sessions most relaxing and derived pure joy in exercising with the team through the WQ live workouts that run every morning. Chopping veggies for salad also acted like a stress buster for him!

While still on his healthy weight loss journey, they were pleasantly surprised to see both of their Hba1c scores improve tremendously.

Laxmi's HbA1c improved from 6.51 to 5.1 while Sree's from 6.07 to 4.9!

Tremendous progress for someone who just wanted to shift to a healthier lifestyle.

These days, this couple is making everyone curious about what they are actually doing for their health. And all they say is "together, it's easier!"

Sudha Chanani was once a woman who struggled with diabetes for many years. She was heavily dependent on insulin and often experienced pain in her legs that made it difficult for her to walk or work for long periods.

She always felt tired, with low energy levels that impacted her quality of life.

Her daughter-in-law, a wellness coach with WQ, stepped in to help her.

With her guidance and support, Sudha was able to make significant changes to her lifestyle and health.

Sudha was amazed to see the transformation that took place within her body. She was able to completely stop using insulin and even reduced her diabetes medication to half.

She felt a surge of energy within her and was able to walk for long periods without any pain or discomfort.

Her legs were no longer a source of pain, and she felt happier and more fulfilled.

Sudha's improved energy levels allowed her to walk faster and tackle everyday tasks with ease.

She was finally able to live a life free of pain and limitations, all thanks to her daughter-in-law's help and her own determination to take control of her health.

She inspires others to never give up and to seek help when needed, as she proved that it's never too late to turn things around and transform one's health for the better.

"Due to a poor diet and lifestyle along with the work-related stress, my gut health had gone for a toss," says Manav.

That's when he decided to approach a WQ coach through his friend.

"I first signed up for a gut cleansing program for a week and by following the instructions provided, I saw immediate improvements", recalls Manav. "This motivated me to enroll into a health transformation program".

Manav learnt that it was not only diet and exercise which needed focus but the balance of mind, body and soul which was an issue.

His coach also signed him up for daily meditation sessions, which were amazing!

When he started, Manav had many health issues. Apart from having some extra kilos, he was pre-diabetic and his vitamin B12 and D were also low.

2 months into the program, Manav started feeling the difference!

He lost 8 kg of weight and his pre-diabetic condition wasn't an issue anymore.

Learning about wellness and being able to improve his own health gave him the confidence to become a wellness coach himself and take on a mission to spread the word about health and wellness around him!

"I'm learning every day from the Wellness Quotient community and living a much improved life now", says Manav.

"It's rewarding when my loved ones approach me for shifting to a good lifestyle and looking fit and fabulous".

NO MORE A PRE-DIABETIC!

During a routine health check-up in December of 2021, Amarsh found that his vitamin D3 levels were low and his HbA1c was in the pre-diabetic range.

Obviously, he was concerned. But he wanted to address this with lifestyle changes and plant-based, organic supplementation.

"That's why I reached out to a WQ coach", says Amarsh.

As part of the health transformation program, he learnt that apart from the right kind of supplementation, it was important to follow a correct lifestyle.

"I followed my coach's instructions and in the next 4 months, my vitamin D3 levels were 47 and HbA1c came down to 4.6", recalls Amarsh.

How would a diabetic on medication feel if you can tell them that their medicine can be stopped?

Music to ears, some may say!

During a routine health check-up in December of 2021, Bhupendra was diagnosed as diabetic with a very high HBA1C of 12.1!

Obviously, he was very concerned and being only 22 years of age, he consulted a doctor and started on medication. And he mentally was prepared to take them for life!

But when a friend introduced him to a WQ coach, he understood that a path towards overall wellness is the key after an initial discussion.

He received suggestions on some lifestyle changes which included using the right kind of supplementation, following a plant-based diet, the right kind of exercise and so on.

"I followed my coach's instructions and in the next 4 months, my HbA1c came down from 12.1 to 5.8!", says Bhupendra happily. "My doctor stopped all my medicines"

Regular insulin shots and diabetic medication twice a day.

Medication for cholesterol and BP.

That is what the daily routine looked like for Rajeev!

He liked sports, but his hectic work life didn't leave him with enough energy to pursue them.

Rajeev had made all the necessary changes that his doctor had asked of him, but he wanted to lose weight and reduce the medications, which just didn't seem possible.

That's when his son introduced a whole new universe of wellness to his father when he approached a WQ coach.

Within 3 months of starting the wellness program, he has not only lost 7 kg but has also observed huge improvements in his medication dosage as well.

He has been insulin-free for the last 2 months!

His diabetes medications have reduced 50% and he is working to get rid of them completely.

BP medicine dosage has reduced.

"I've better energy levels now", says Rajeev. "I play badminton in the morning and go for a swim in the evening".

The last annual checkup was a surprise for Snehal - in a negative way that is!

His HbA1c was 8.9 and triglycerides were 398.

He was clear in his mind that he didn't want to only depend on medicines but wanted to take a more fundamental approach. So without wasting time, he approached his school friend who he knew was a WQ coach.

"I was very determined from the beginning and had started working with 100% discipline and dedication from day 1", recalls Snehal.

Even though there wasn't much change in the first couple of weeks, he noticed an improvement in his energy levels. That helped him maintain his focus.

When he did blood tests again after 3 months, Snehal was delighted to see HbA1c was down to 5.9 and triglycerides were at 94! And the icing on the cake was that he had lost 10 kg!

While he continues to still work on his health journey, Snehal says, "I feel blessed that I could get associated with Wellness Quotient and have an opportunity to inspire many people around me"

Mala, a homemaker from Chennai, was shocked when she did her blood tests.

She was diagnosed diabetic with her HbA1c as 7.3!

But she didn't depend on only medicines. She was looking for a more holistic approach to managing her condition.

That is when she got introduced to Wellness Quotient via her nephew, who is a WQ coach.

Despite family functions, travel, and visiting guests, she followed the entire program very religiously.

Tough times show us the good times. This is just so true with Vineeta Sinha.

A 52 yr old educationist, Vineeta had a happy family. All was well till life started showing the dark side.

Vineeta’s mother and husband succumbed to the complications of diabetes and hypertension in quick succession. Along with the misery Vineeta had to take charge of her two children who were in crucial stages of education.

The soaring stress levels only gifted her the family ailments. Shooting blood sugar and BP readings, frequent headaches, muscle pains and sleepless nights added to the work load in the professional front.

But the alarm bell sounded loud when she was down with urinary tract infection twice!

Vineeta sought doctor’s advice and was put on insulin. She was aware that this symptomatic treatment would call for increased dosages and expenditure along with untold miseries.

Keeping the children’s dreams in focus, she decided to look for alternatives. As if Godsent, Vineeta got introduced to Wellness Quotient through a friend.

Browsing through the testimonies on Facebook, Vineeta wanted to know more. Her friend put her with a wellness coach.

After having tried homeopathy, Ayurveda and other home remedies, this was the only way left to try. So she went in for a consultation with all her reports and an open mind.

The coach worked with her on a daily basis, introduced her to the three pillars and Vineeta followed every word diligently – in three months magic happened.

The blood sugar and the BP readings dropped to normal. Her children joined the wellness journey too. Her daughter’s myopia and son’s weight issues also saw improvements.

Vineeta is now happy and willing to help those in need. "My wellness coach is now my extended family" says Vineeta smiling to her ears!

And Wellness Quotient is more than happy to add members to their ever growing wellness family.

Ask most diabetics or their family members this question, and they would answer no.

But ask the same to Madhur, and the answer would be a resounding yes!

Like many others, Madhur was busy climbing the corporate ladder. Long working hours, erratic sleep patterns, "eat-on-the-go" diet and stress were part of the package, obviously.

Nothing seemed out of place, since most people around him were having the same lifestyle. But the real shocker came to him a few years back when his blood work showed high blood sugar levels!

"Inspite of having a family history of diabetes, I never imagined it could happen to me!", recollects Madhur.

He visited the doctors and was initiated into tablets and diet restrictions. It worked for a while, but after every few visits, medicine dosage would increase.

Deep down, Madhur knew something was not adding up. There had to be a better approach to handle this. Continuous increase of medicines indicate slowing the rate of damage, not curing it.

He tried various things - special/funny diets, avoiding sugars, starving, workouts, etc. They would work to some extent, but things would soon return to as it was before.

His HbA1c was hovering around 10 to 12 inspite of medications when he got introduced to Wellness Quotient. With collective experience from this community, he could make required lifestyle changes which were sustainable and would lead to results.

Within a few months, he was able to bring down his HbA1c to 6.3 and is working to make it even better.

"For someone who was told by everyone that diabetes is irreversible, this was a pleasant surprise," says Madhur.

Since then, Madhur says he is on a mission to help fellow diabetics and others with lifestyle disorders to reverse their condition!

Good health is everybody’s dream and a regular health check gets you one step closer to achieving the dream – but how?

The rosy profession in the software industry is now becoming a bane on health.

At 52, Mohan Prakash thought that with regular monitoring nothing could go wrong until last year, when one such hospital visit threw a shocker. He was in a state of disbelief when his annual health report stared at him with the blatant truth of ‘DIABETES’.

HbA1c at 12.9, Mohan knew that he was in for a long drawn process. Haunted by the thought of how the inevitable medication and its terrifying side effects would become his lifelong companion, Mohan Prakash felt devastated.

As he sat with a big question mark hanging like a dagger over him, his wife stepped in to hold his hand and guide him to Wellness Quotient community. That was like a new sunrise for Mohan Prakash.

The timely intervention of a wellness coach and Mohan’s perseverance did bear fruits. With no drugs or doctor visits, the magical reversal of his metabolism was visible in his reports last week - His HbA1c was down to 6.1.

The natural yet effective lifestyle changes did the work wonders. Mohan Prakash is back in the pink of health and happiness.

This surely doesn’t mean that he can bounce back to his old ways. "This new lifestyle sans risk is my new normal," beams Mohan Prakash.

What do you do when God did not grant you a proper functioning thyroid gland?

Be careful with your lifestyle, one would say.

Yashas realised that the hard way. He was preparing for one of the toughest medical exams in the country and had completely ignored his health. His blood work mid way to his exam preparations made that abundantly clear.

His busy - and hence unhealthy - lifestyle shot up his insulin resistance. With Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) score of 6.5, he was labelled as a pre-diabetic at a young age!

As usual, the doctor gave him a choice between change of lifestyle or lifelong medication, leaning more towards the latter. That is when Yashas met one of the coaches with Wellness Quotient.

He realised that lifestyle change was a better option in the longer run. It was now or never for Yashas. The lockdown gave him that opportunity.

Under his wellness coach’s guidance, Yashas adopted a healthy diet and a regular exercise regime - something he had never done for the last three years! His HbA1c improved to 5.0 and he was officially out of the pre-diabetic category! Yay!

Yashas says, "I sincerely thank my mother and Wellness Quotient for guiding me on how a healthy lifestyle can go a long way in creating a healthy future."

Unna, a Lecturer and Nutritionist from Bangalore shares an insightful testimony of her mother-in-law Amma about how the Wellness Quotient community helped Amma maintain her diabetes at a healthy level. 

Amma has been a diabetic since past 16 years. She is someone who loved snacking between her meals and also believed in self-medication, relying on her own judgement heavily. For eg., she was irregular on her doctor-prescribed insulin medication and used to consume it whimsically. Although, Unna being a part of the WQ Community used to advise Amma on a regular basis, but Amma used to take such advice with a pinch of salt. These practices did not help her much, which is why she couldn’t keep her diabetes under control.

Eventually, one day she landed up at St John’s hospital in Bangalore. This sudden incident scared her a lot. She became very emotional and was more open to accept specific advise on her health. Unna could now control everything that was going on in her life and she could very well drive home the point that how just by making a few changes in Amma’s lifestyle combined with natural supplementation, things can work out much better in her favor. 

Though Amma still loves to do snacking here and there, but just because of all the health supplements she was consuming, in about seven months time frame, she could recover well and drop down into the non-diabetic range. Even today at the age of 78, after 2 years of her success story, her HbA1c level is still maintained at 5.5 which is a big relief for the family.

Archana Rajesh lives in Bangalore and used to work in the Software Industry, until a couple of years ago.

Around May 2013, Archana’s mom was recommended to do a blood test, while doctors investigated her cough and cold problem. Being a disciplined person all her life, with a regular exercise regime, measured eating habits, Archana’s mother and her extended family were actually shocked that she was declared a diabetic !!! Her mom worried about having to perpetually rely on diabetic medication for the rest of her life.

During this time, Archana, working with the WQ Coaches, was able to refine her mother’s diet and incorporate necessary lifestyle changes.

She highly appreciated how the WQ coaches took time out to explain the reason behind her concern and also assured her that making these changes would actually reverse the condition.

Within 6 months, her mom’s glucose levels became normal. Advised by her consulting doctor, she still continued medication for a whole year, until in November 2015 she was declared non-diabetic. Her blood glucose levels remained normal for straight 1.5 years.

Archana’s mom was overjoyed, as her own father too had been diabetic and there was a long history of diabetes running in her family and all of them were on lifelong medication. 

Archana fondly recollects her mom’s jubilation on being able to conquer diabetes. She is really thankful to the WQ Community who made it possible for her.
