While taking care of everyone else around, Dr. Shivangini, a gynaecologist, never had the time to look after herself. "Being a doctor it's not easy with a very hectic schedule" is what she used to tell herself.

When asked she described her day as "working around the clock, attending patients is what my day is"

Being a busy doctor, she never had a peaceful meal. Sometimes she had to skip meals, and sometimes she just got only 5 mins in the entire day to finish her meals.

She brought down her TSH levels from 15 to 3.0 with medication, but she was concerned about her thyroid medications which increased from 12.5mg to 25mg in the last 4 years.

Along with that, she started experiencing hair fall, dandruff, reduced glow in the skin, dark circles, acidity and lack of energy.

Being a doctor, she knew that medicines can only help to manage her condition and don't provide a permanent solution, so she was always in a looking zone!

That's when she came to know about the holistic approach through her cousin who is a WQ coach and who had been helping a lot of people reverse their lifestyle disorders.

She was surprised to know that there is a way to get rid of thyroid medicines and that is what she wanted!

Without any delay, "I enrolled in a health transformation program and now I completely stopped taking thyroid medicines and am still able to maintain my TSH at 2.0". says Dr. Shivangini.

Not only that she also has seen improvements in her energy levels, acidity, bloating, dandruff, hair fall, glow in the skin and belly fat.

"When my parlor friend asked me how I got such glowing skin and beautiful hair without consulting him, there were no limits to my happiness.", Says Dr. Shivangini.

With her newfound victory, Dr. Shivangini is set to inspire a lot of people and help a lot of her patients.

It's always fun when couples work towards a common goal. And it holds good when the goal is to become healthy!

Girish and Sushma have been senior IT professionals with hectic jobs.

Both of them knew that their health needed attention. Apart from having extra kilos, Girish had a very low immunity while Sushma was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

"We were looking for a more integrated approach towards health instead of just popping some pills", recalls Girish. And that's when they came across Wellness Quotient and enrolled in a program with a WQ coach because they liked the approach.

When they started to work holistically on food habits, nutrition, workouts, meditation & stress management, they started to see significant improvement. "Over the next 6 months, we were a whole new version!", says Sushma.

Earlier, Girish used to have a cough and cold every 45 days and had to take a dose of antibiotics, while Sushma had to start on thyroid medication.

But now, Girish has never taken antibiotics for the last 7 years and frequent cough and cold is history. Sushma is off medication and her thyroid levels are within control!

This couple is now a beacon of hope to many others who wish to take charge of their own health!

Digestive issues, acidity, fatigue, knee pain and software engineering - that's who Sandhya was!

Unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle were the obvious culprits but since everyone around was leading that life, it didn't pinch her so much.

She occasionally visited the doctor and was advised some allopathy medicines, but only to have temporary relief. Internet diets also didn't help!

"There were times when I used to serve food to others but could hardly eat it myself", recalls Sandhya. "I used to wonder how other people of my age are able to stay without any health issues".

That's when she decided to approach a WQ coach to guide her with her health condition.

When she was recommended to undergo blood tests, she found that her TSH and CRP levels were quite elevated. This also added to her motivation and she started the health transformation program with full rigour!

For Sandhya, the next 4 months were all about diet, workout, nutrition, meditation, positive association, books, etc. and in the end, she couldn't believe herself when she repeated the blood tests.

"My TSH levels reduced from 8.46 to 2.19 and my CRP levels reduced from 35 to 0.28", says Sandhya with excitement.

In addition to that, all of her other health problems - knee pain, acidity, constipation, low energy levels - had improved significantly!

"I'm happy that I took care of my health before it went out of control. I see examples of people struggling with poor health every day in my family and friends", she says.

Now Sandhya is on a mission to help people in the area of health and wellness!

Do you know how Senthil spent his first month salary?

Eating at his favourite restaurants. Almost daily!

Senthil has never been a health conscious person and could hardly count if he had any healthy habits.

Few years into the job, he started feeling tired by afternoon. Many days, he would reach home in the evening and simply doze off.

And then he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and prediabetes, at a young age of 24! That was a real shocker.

The medical opinion was to get started with medicines, probably for rest of his life. But since he had seen many people experiencing long term side effects, he didn't want to opt for it. He started looking for alternate options, almost frantically one might add.

"Fortunately, through a friend of mine, I got in touch with Wellness Quotient community and a wellness coach", says Senthil. Upon receiving initial guidance, he was sceptical. But then he didn't have many choices, so he decided to give it a try.

With constant guidance from the coach, Senthil could easily adapt to the changes necessary. Soon he was very pleased with her commitment towards his health.

"In a few weeks, I started seeing improvement in my energy levels and immunity", recalls Senthil. When he did his lab tests 3 months down the line, to his surprise, he had made great progress.

Now his HbA1c and TSH values have moved towards optimal levels, that too, without using any medication.

Senthil got really fascinated with this approach towards health. He says, "I started learning more about it and sharing about it as well. That's my way of showing gratitude to people who have helped me."

When asked about what he would like to say to the young generation, this is what he has to say, "Living healthy is simpler than you think. Go for it!"

(Wellness Quotient proudly presents one of their WQ Champion Senthil's journey as yet another hope for many out there who want to achieve wellness but are uncertain if they can too!)

"My 2018 blood tests came as a rude shock to me", says Michele. "I was diabetic with elevated thyroid levels."

As if diabetes wasn't bad enough, she had thyroid too!

Michele didn't know what to do. Everyone knows where the regular “doctor-medicine” routine leads you. It only maintens the condition, does not reverse it.

"It took me months to muster up the courage to accept that I needed to change, and that I desperately needed the help", she recalls.

That is when she got associated with Wellness Quotient. She made changes - one step at a time. Dietary changes, exercise, learning how body views food and responds.

Slowly - but surely - she corrected her diabetes in 2019. Buy thyroid ws a stubborn one. After all, what took 30+ years of lifestyle choices to build, will require some time to correct!

Michele hadn't heard anyone who had reverted to healthy thyroid levels. Usually they reconcile themselves with that tiny pill every morning.

Today Michele is happy. She could finally correct her thyroid imbalances. "It took me year and a half of changing my habits. The journey was slow. But I'm set for life", she says.

When asked about the main challenge she faced in this journey and how did she overcome it, she says "While I understood that I was making a better choice, it was not always easy. I did goof up with my food at times."

"But everytime, my coach picked me up and put me back on track .... and for that I'm truly grateful."

Now Michele enjoys all the food she likes. It's just that now she enjoys it responsibly!

Sushma was diagnosed with hypothyroid at the age of 24 yrs when she just completed 2 years in the IT industry.

She had gained some weight during that period due to the sedentary nature of her job. Although, she started walking post lunch, but that did not help much as she felt breathlessness, tiredness even after a single round of walk and sleepy during the afternoons.

She consulted a doctor and was suggested to do a thyroid test. Her TSH level was found to be very high, which is a symptom of hypothyroidism. Doctor suggested that she must get onto thyroid medication for lifelong. She was worried as she could not imagine that first thing every morning she has to consume thyroid medicine. She also learnt that medicine dosage will gradually increase and conceiving would be daunting at a later stage.

She researched about alternate ways to get rid of hypothyroidism and in the process got connected with Wellness Quotient community through a wellness coach. That’s how her collaboration with WQ commenced.

Later, she went through a holistic program as recommended by her wellness coach. It was a completely new lifestyle program with the help of improvised diet plan, customized exercise regimen and natural supplementation.
