When he started experiencing digestive issues, skin allergies, frequent cold and cough, sudden weight loss and fatigue at the end of the day; Karthik had to redescribe himself.

After a master health checkup followed by a doctor's consultation, he was surprised that he was prescribed medicines to reduce his high cholesterol levels!

Though he convinced himself to use medicines for cholesterol, he had endless questions running through his mind about all the other symptoms he had been experiencing!

"When I read about high homocysteine levels and their potential side effects, my worries about health reached peak levels which kept me in constant search for available solutions!" says Karthik

That is when he met a WQ coach, who was a good friend of his brother-in-law.

When he understood that their approach was focused on the root cause of the problems, he convinced himself to give it a try!

Karthik is now excited about his transformation and had an amazing lifestyle change through the program for past 4 to 5 months.

His improvements include:

- Improved energy levels.

- No more skin allergies.

- No cold or cough for the past 3 months

- Digestive issues resolved.

- No more food cravings

More than that his cholesterol levels and homocysteine levels are back to normal without any medicines, says a happy Karthik.

He is thankful to his coach and the community for hand holding him while he was practicing all pillars of wellness.

"I am looking forward to helping my friends and family to make the necessary changes to their lifestyle and help them enjoy better health starting from 2023" Is what Karthik had to say now

Not only that, eating outside every day, irregular work timings, and less water intake started affecting his health.

Disturbed sleep, constipation, and lack of energy became part of his life and he had to live with them as he did not have enough time to focus on his health.

When he underwent a set of lab tests recommended by his coach, he was surprised after seeing many parameters were not in the range.

After understanding how a holistic approach can help his condition, he enrolled in a wellness program and started learning about managing time for cooking, exercise, balancing his diet with supplements and many others.

"Life was good until I consulted a doctor in 2016 who said I had fatty liver and asked me to be on medication for 6 months", recalls Devarpan.

Post that he found himself experiencing acid reflux, so he continued with acid reflux medication every single day,

"I felt as if my life was dependent on those medicines", he says. "Moreover, since I was not staying in India, I ensured that I had enough stock from India".

But during the COVID phase, he started to follow his college friend, who was a WQ coach, on social media. He had worked on his own health and was now helping many others to do the same.

Devarpan became curious and reached out to him to seek help for his acid reflux!

The journey started well and his coach started to track Devarpan's daily routine with respect to food, workout, nutrition and stress. This tracking made him more accountable to follow the plan and he became more disciplined with his entire routine.

"When I started the program, I used to take acid reflux medicines daily", recalls Devarpan. "Now, it has reduced drastically".

All these changes have happened in spite of the fact that he has a very busy work schedule.

GOOD HEALTH MEANS BEING ABLE TO ENJOY LIFE!

Nayana's story is a typical story of two states!

Marrying into a family with different food habits, she found that the spicy food and changed diet took a toll on her health. She developed acidity fairly early in life.

Over the years, it developed into migraine.

And for the last 10 years, she's been relying on her meds to see her through migraine attacks.

Years of acidity, sleepless nights and throbbing migraines had left her weak and unable to look after herself or her two children.

She wanted to lose weight, but every attempt to do so had failed. Every time she started anything, her body could not sustain it.

When Nayana's sister referred her to Wellness Quotient, she had almost given up on her health.

However, when her coach explained that she needs to focus on "her health" instead the of numbers on the scale, she knew she was in the right hands.

Within 2 weeks of starting her program and religiously following the recommendations, she had resolved the acidity issue which had been troubling her for 17 years!

Now she's able to sleep for 3 hours continuously and feels rested when she's awake.

Two weeks back, she and her family did a whopping 2500 km road trip!!

"I've always enjoyed travelling, but my migraine always got triggered after a few hours", says Nayana. "But now I was continuously travelling for 3 days and my migraine has not interrupted my travel."

Though he was physically active, Raj always had a slight throat irritation, dry cough, and low immunity since childhood.

"My mom had tried multiple treatments for me including nutritious food like egg omelet for 4 years but all of these treatments gave me only temporary relief", recalls Raj.

Life changed when he joined his first job at a manufacturing plant where he was exposed to dust, pollution, hotel food, and irregular shifts.

When he also started his B.Tech. along with his regular job, things became very stressful. Soon, Raj found gastric issues added to his list of health issues.

"Though I continued to exercise regularly, cough and gastric issues persisted!", says Raj. "I was always on the lookout to get relief from these conditions."

That's when he met a WQ coach, whom he considers now as God's answers to his mom's prayers!

He helped Raj to get into disciplined eating habits through a holistic approach. Today Raj has a more balanced meal than ever before.

"Though I love sweets, my cravings for them have reduced significantly", says Raj. "With all these changes, I have reduced my weight by 9 kg, most of which is belly fat."

His immunity has improved and so have his gastric issues. "Above all, my throat condition and cough, which was bothering me since childhood, is a thing of the past now!", says an excited Raj!"

When you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS, life is very tough - both physically and socially!

And when you have 16-hour 6-day work weeks like Anirban, no wonder at times one can get depressed.

"Doctors told me that IBS is not curable. It could only be controlled by lifestyle changes", remembers Anirban. "But I was clueless as to what should I do?"

But then he got in touch with his old colleague who is a WQ coach. An initial discussion gave him some confidence to get started on a health program.

He started implementing daily habits under his coach's guidance.

Within 6 months, he was pleasantly surprised to see that his IBS wasn't troubling him anymore. He stopped his medication too.

Dr. Suman Rao, a MBBS and MD in general medicine, has set up a lot of dialysis units in multiple hospitals in her 20 years of career as a Nephrologist. She primarily deals with kidney ailments and works with critical care units.

She ruminates that, in the initial days of her career, she was not much open about curing her critical care patients through nutrition. But over the years, she actually experienced that a combination of food, stress, lack of exercise and lifestyle of the patients are the real underlying causes for these diseases to crop up. She has also observed a lot of side effects emanating out of allopathy medication. So, Dr. Suman subsequently started incorporating nutrition and other holistic approaches in her ways of treatment.

As an example, she spoke about her grandpa, who is 95 years of age and was suffering from severe illness. It was initially believed to be due to his old age. So, as an experiment, Dr. Suman put him on a high protein diet and also started him on a course of few immunity replenishing supplements. It took him just a week of time to recover mostly. That was a massive faith builder for her, on nutritional ways of treatment, and her conviction level went up significantly.

Treating people from the Chhattisgarh Belt, she regularly comes across a lot of patients and their relatives who suffer from blood related diseases like sickling (sickle cell anaemia). These patients got very good results from diet modifications and specific supplements like iron among others.

She advocates that if we start leading a good life style we would be leading almost a disease free life. The secret of having a good lifestyle stand on the pillars of eating right, daily exercise, proper rest, meditation and possessing a positive attitude towards life. She asks the eager ones to get in touch with someone who can coach them to develop a healthy lifestyle and who walks the talk as well like the Wellness Quotient community associates.

Dr. Surbhi & her husband are both practicing doctors in Bangalore.

Her mother’s family has been perennially over-weight, and for quite a long time she was ill-treated for acidity. One day out of the blue, she vomited half a bucket of blood...That's when she was diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis !!

The underlying cause was fat accumulation around her liver, which was further aggravated by diabetes.

For the doctors, there was only one solution: Liver Transplant. But as a doctor, Surbhi knew it was not an easy option at all, due to the complications involved around organ transplantation.

Herself a doctor, she believes that doctors are only trained for fire-fighting – they do not look for long term prevention.

Their thought-process revolves around - “How can I solve it immediately in the next 1 or 2 days" and do not think about solving the root cause.

Surbhi was told “Wait till your mother's symptoms deteriorate, then we can go for a transplant. Her liver is not coming back – she has maybe 2 to 5 years before she needs to replace it.”

Having associated with the Wellness Quotient community since sometime, she knew that a body is made up of good nutrients.

With the guidance from WQ coaches, she learnt how to turn around the situation through a combination of exercise, medication/supplements and lifestyle changes.

In the last 2 years, she saw her mom’s liver enzymes regenerating and eventually the liver is in much better shape now.

As a family, going through so much of frustration and anxiety, today they sleep peacefully, knowing that her mother is doing well.

Shridhar’s dad met with an accident 8 years back in Bangalore. It was not a major one but he developed an annoying back pain as a result.

Mr. Murthy then underwent a CT Scan & MRI, which revealed that one of his kidney is small and compromised and had to pretty much depend on only one functioning kidney.

Subsequently, he suffered from many health challenges such as digestion issues, continuous bloating & also faced issues in stool and urine discharge. Shridhar visited few well-known nephrologists around Bangalore, but they encouraged his dad to get onto allopathic medicines. He was reluctant as he knew it would affect his father's kidneys for the worse in the long term.

In the following months, Mr. Murthy gained weight, he couldn’t walk properly and his bowel movements was even more irregular. That was a worrisome situation for his family.

That was the time when Shridhar’s wife got in touch with one of her aunt who is a practicing nutritionist. Shridhar visited her, who in turn introduced him to Amravathi over a call.

Shridhar could realize over the first call itself that Amravathi could connect the dots & was able to make Shridhar realize the root cause of the problem was Mr. Murthy's kidney itself and not because of any digestion issues. He underwent a medical checkup to determine his creatinine & potassium levels & they turned out to be very high, almost on the verge of Dialysis.

Eventually, Amravathi changed the cooking process in Shridhar's family, for e.g. how the vegetables are supposed to be boiled, how to do zero oil cooking and also instructed about the methods of food consumption. Shridhar retorts that in the last so many years none of the doctors actually pointed out about protein exclusion in his father’s diet which was necessary due to the high creatinine levels but Amravathi could rectify it immediately. She also got his father onto a complete vegetarian diet & that’s how slowly the potassium & creatinine levels came down in a span of 60-70 days. The creatinine levels actually reduced from 1.72 to 1.24 - which is in the normal range. It was a WOW feeling.

Shridhar & his family has a high level of faith on the Wellness Quotient Community now and is especially grateful to Amravathi for all the guidance provided by her.

Mr. Murthy is now enjoying his retired life to the fullest.

My name is Sanjay Singh. When I remember it now, it feels like a nightmare. I used to suffer from an increased heart rate due to a liver disorder. Since my heart would beat so fast that I felt like it was going to pop out, the only solution I had was to visit the emergency department of the hospital almost every night and take an injection. I also used to feel like vomiting frequently.

I suffered like this for 6 months during which the doctors performed many tests. But nothing could be found and treated. Life was kind of a hell and my diet consisted of just boiled food and vegetables.

When I got introduced to the Wellness Quotient community through a friend, I was skeptical about being able to solve my problem with changes to my lifestyle. Because I thought I had a good lifestyle and that I was already eating healthy food. But I decided to give it a try since I had exhausted all my options.

To my surprise, my symptoms vanished almost like magic within a month’s time. I continued my new lifestyle regime for a couple more months because I developed such good faith in the advice provided by the community. It has been 4 years now that I have not only been symptom free but have not even had other health problems. I feel blessed and I cannot thank my friend enough for introducing me to the Wellness Quotient family.

I would get frequent mouth ulcers on my cheeks, upper part of the mouth and around the tongue, which used to make eating, speaking and brushing teeth very difficult. Apart from Becosule capsules I also tried many ointments and some desi solutions to get rid of the ulcers. I was even prescribed by a doctor to take a series of Becosule injections because of the frequency of the ulcers.

When I started understanding that mouth ulcers are a sign of deficiency and digestion and not a disease, I could start working towards solving the problem. Natural supplements could do what synthetic vitamins couldn't do even in high dosages. This came as a surprise to me because I had no awareness of this new world before. In the last 5+ years, I have not had any mouth ulcers now and I have started contributing to the community by helping many other people now.

My husband is a dental surgeon and has a very hectic schedule maintaining two clinics. Though he follows a strict diet, his Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) used to give him a lot of trouble vacillating between constipation, diarrhoea and acidity. Despite the fact that we are both surgeons and have been trained in conventional medicine for so many years, he hates taking medication and used to suffer a lot from his digestive illness. Also, he used to regularly get gaseous bloating after every meal. We both believe in naturopathic solutions and were somehow maintaining his status quo but his energy levels were very low.

The Wellness Quotient community was an unexpected blessing because we got connected to this unique group of people who we could trust and follow as well as take advice from. We started understanding how our diets are deficient and became open to natural supplementation as well as principles of health. Now his digestive health is stable and he has much better energy levels. We moved to advanced and better cooking methods thanks to the inspiration from the community and due to properly cooked meals retaining nutrition, his gaseous bloating after meals has drastically reduced.
