Spoorthi, a student, was focused on her studies and preparing for her 10th standard exams.
She faced a common issue that many young students face - neglecting their health in the pursuit of academic success.
"Are You in 10th Standard?" was a question that used to haunt Spoorthi. With the pressure of exams and lack of attention to her own health, Spoorthi was facing frequent coughs and colds and was struggling with her weight.
Despite consulting a doctor and following their advice, the relief was only temporary and she was unable to see any significant improvements.
When asked, the doctor's only advice was to "eat good food" but lacked guidance on what to eat and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
That's when she reached out to WQ. Her Wellness Coach helped her understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle and provided guidance on how to achieve optimal weight through food and exercise habits.
With determination and the support of WQ, Spoorthi was able to make meaningful changes to her lifestyle and in just five months, she reached her optimal weight with great energy levels.
Now, people around her are asking about her secret to success in gaining weight.
Spoorthi is proud to share her story and inspire others to prioritize their health and well-being.
She is ready to take on the world with WQ by her side, making the most of her 10th standard year.
Being a dental professional, Dr Sowmya knew that poor vision health will be a roadblock in her career.
"A genetic eye disease from my maternal side was causing progressive vision loss", she says. "It was -7.0 and was predicted to lead to partial blindness in the next 10 years"
She was shocked to learn that! There was no way to stop this using allopathy.
To add to that, as a side effect of epilepsy medication she had to take for two years at age 8, she developed anaemia. This made her feel lethargic perpetually.
But when she joined the health rehabilitation program under the guidance of a WQ coach, she was surprised to see the results.
During a span of 6 years of working on her eye health, her vision stopped degenerating further. And after some time, it reversed from -7.0 to -5.0!
Her chronic anaemia was debilitating earlier. But now she has healthy levels of haemoglobin and feels very active.
"Thank you Wellness Quotient for giving me a new lease of life", says Dr Sowmya today with excitement.
"India sees more than 1 million cases of sleep apnea every year and there is hardly any solution for it, " Rishi told his college friend and WQ coach when they met for the first time!
Sleepless nights, throat blockage, loud snoring, and breathing issues throughout the day were some problems which Rishi suffered in his daily life.
The condition worsened when his oxygen levels dropped to 60% and he became dependent on an oxygen mask while sleeping!
And that is when he decided to do something about it and contacted his college friend and enrolled on a health transformed program.
Over the next 1.5 months, he made many changes as suggested by his coach. He could see a drastic change in his health!
His breathing had improved by 50% to 60% and his throat blockage had improved by almost 80%. "On top of that, no more loud snoring now", says Rishi with a sigh of relief.
Rishi also lost 5 kg in the process.
"While I'm still working on my health, I feel very confident after making this much progress", says Rishi. "It's just a matter of time now!"
"I woke up one morning and couldn't move my legs at all!" recalls Mohit. "For a moment, I thought that I'll be like this for my whole life".
It was a really scary experience.
Mohit hadn't realized that life had moved so fast in the corporate world that he had ended up developing some really bad lifestyle habits like regularly skipping meals, no significant physical movement in the whole day, excess consumption of junk food etc.
Over time, it had turned him from a sporty boy to a person having chronic Ankylosing spondylitis!
"And in a short time, I was dependent on painkillers", says Mohit.
His day used to be extremely lethargic and he was chronically depressed. His illness was taking a toll on the entire family!
That thought forced him one morning to take a decision about his health and life. He contacted Wellness Quotient.
Previously, his doctor had confirmed that this is a condition for life and he should forget to live an active life. But when he discussed his condition with a WQ coach and some other alternate lines of medicine like Ayurveda etc., he got the confidence that with a focus on lifestyle correction along with non-allopathy medication, it is possible to fix his health!
One year later and after adopting many changes to his lifestyle, Mohit's condition is almost cured now. He still have a little morning stiffness and hopes that it would go away soon too.
"Now I play badminton regularly and also run for causes sometimes", says a happy and confident Mohit.
Who could have imagined that such a disease which is accepted as non-curable could be handled in this way?
"With my personal wellness turnaround, I eventually developed a strong passion for this industry", says Mohit.
Today he has the vision to impart this knowledge to as many people as he can and help them understand one simple truth that disease is just an Illusion if one is ready to follow a holistic wellness approach!
"Great achievements take time, but with a 'never give up' attitude nothing is impossible," says Santosh with a radiating smile.
A finance professional of 39, Santosh was worried about his weight gain.
Desk job at work only added fuel to the fire as his Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA type 3) – his childhood partner kept him inactive!
A foodie that he was, controlling diet was not his cup of tea. When he was tilting into the obese category at 96 kgs, he knew that it was the ‘wake up call’.
But the odds were against him as the degenerating muscles stopped him from taking up heavy workouts yet weight reduction was paramount to prevent further muscle damage.
A desperate Santosh tried various weight control strategies like crash diet, GM diet, etc which proved a failure due to lack of guidance.
Helpless, as he stood, WQ came into his life like a new dawn. With the help of a coach, Santosh found a new lease of life as he came to know about the lifestyle changes, nutrition.
He embarked on a customized walking program along with a detox schedule and slowly the miracle began to unfold.
Soon Santosh was pinching himself to believe what he saw – the weighing scale needles dipping 12 down! With a health condition like his, Santosh felt he had achieved the impossible.
“When determination is your friend and a guide like WQ walks alongside, no obstacle is too big to overcome” says Santosh who feels more agile at 84 kgs and is all out to inspire and help those in need.
(Wellness Quotient proudly presents the WQ champion Santosh’s story as yet another hope for many out there who want to achieve wellness but are uncertain if they can!)
