It has truly been a life changing experience. It was good that I was able to come off medications but started to see all of deficiencies in the body, weakness, tiresome and losing immense amount of collagen. Then I found Naturopathy in India by “Satvic Movement”, they introduced detox into my life. But, even after 5 years I was not able to get rid of my medications. I stayed with this diet for 5 years and was happy to have my sugars not fluctuate too much. They introduced eating wholesome into my life. So, I had to go with the science and was fortunate to find WFPB group. There is some truth to that, but I was not able to find anyone that would guide me. For example, Is it ok to eat meat? Sometimes. I started researching in Ayurveda but was hard to get single answer to anything. They both got my weight down as long as I attended the meeting but didn’t help with my diabetes. I tried Adkins (1 ½ weeks), then Weight Watchers (about a year). To break the cycle, I would research a new diet and implement it, it would still trigger the vicious cycle. It was a vicious cycle of hunger, food, meds then back again to hunger. All the while, the hunger for food was increasing. Thus began, my bodily experiment with different diets and incremental additions of medications. And sure enough, it did! Three time! Three years after my third baby, it came back, but the doctors said the medicine will take care of it and advised me to go on high protein diet. And the doctors reassured me that it would go away after the pregnancy. I was thinking this is another normal thing that everyone goes through. Even couple years later, I was still in denial when I had insulin dependent gestational diabetes with my first son. It was more like 25 years ago, during my college years, when I would eat and fall asleep and not able to stay awake for studying, so I would chug down some coffee loaded with sugar. It would be foolish of me to say, my journey started 20 years ago. This is true, even if I were sitting in West Palm Beach in front of the institute, I wouldn’t have seen it! Because my desires were elsewhere, mostly how to satisfy my tastebuds. I needed all the living, enjoying and suffering before I could see, listen and then finally pay attention to the teachings. As I am sitting and analyzing and wishing why didn’t I get knowledge 20 years ago, I am reminded of the saying “when you are ready, the Guru (teacher) will come.” There is so much to this saying. What I mean by that is, what lead me to Hippocrates and after learning about the program, what am I currently doing with this knowledge, what do I plan to do in the future. The best way to describe how Hippocrates lifestyle program has impacted my life is to describe my past, present and future life.
