Note from the reviewing doctor: There is no medical evidence that enemas or wet packs help with lifestyle conditions like PCOD and thyroid problems. What matters most is a plant-based diet, sunshine and regular yoga, along with the positivity that comes with these lifestyle changes.

Keerthika suffered from excess weight, PCOD & thyroid imbalance at a young age of 22. She had tried different diet plans in the past, but nothing really helped her. After watching Satvic Movement's videos and eating a plant based diet for 2 months, she lost 11 kg and saw her reports improve.

"My TSH level was above 100 and there were multiple cysts in both my ovaries. My doctor asked me not to worry, as PCOD is common among women of my age. But, for someone like me who belong to rural South India, it was a huge thing. Within 2 months of following this lifestyle I lost 11 kg, and my next reports looked much better. "

Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle?

Last year in November, I was diagnosed with PCOD & Thyroid imbalance. But, the deterioration of my health had begun much earlier. I was gaining a lot of weight, my face started looking dull & I was feeling tired all the time. I was unhappy with how I looked & felt. I wanted to lose weight & gain my health back. For me, the primary concern was my weight, I was solely focused on losing my weight that I didn't even notice that I did not get my periods for last 2 months. That is when I decided to see a doctor. After some tests, I learned that I had PCOD & Thyroid Imbalance. My TSH level was above 100 and there were multiple cysts in both of my ovaries. My doctor asked me not to worry, as PCOD is common among women my age, but I couldn't digest it. How can a disease be normal? For someone like me who belong to a rural South Indian family, getting cysts in the ovaries is a big deal. Surprisingly, it was our family doctor who suggested I watch Subah's videos and follow the Satvic lifestyle.

What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.

The first week was a little difficult for me as I was working at a night shift. I was used to working all night, then come home and sleep till 1 pm, do my daily chores & eat my lunch before getting back to work. I did not pay any attention to my health & lived an inactive, sedentary lifestyle. That is why I decided to quit my job and focus on my health. I realized my eating habits were a big part of how I was feeling. I used to eat a lot of junk & processed food. So the first thing I did was change my diet. I also did sunbathing.

What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle?

Within 2 months of following the Satvic Lifestyle, I started seeing great improvements in my overall health. I lost 11 kg, and my reports showed no cysts and a TSH of 5. And, contrary to previous routines & diet I had followed I did not feel weak or tired after doing this instead I felt more energetic. Now I feel lighter and I am no longer driven by cravings. The most beautiful part is that even now that I feel well, I do not feel like going back to my old routine. I am as excited about it as I was at the beginning of my journey.

Apart from the physical changes, have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes?

Yes. Of course it did. My physical health also had a negative effect on my mental health. To be honest, I had never cried about anything in my life. But, after my diagnoses for the first time, I felt depressed & suicidal. I did not feel like meeting or talking to anyone. I wasn't even talking to my parents. I felt frustrated in my own body. For me it was a very difficult phase. Following the Satvic lifestyle helped me feel better in my body and brought positivity and happiness back into my life.

What do you hope for other people?

Yes, absolutely this world is possible. The only thing we need to make this vision a reality is more and more people working towards spreading this knowledge to the world. Still, people find it hard to follow this lifestyle because there is so much confusing information around. But, I hope mine & other people's success story will inspire people to start walking down this path.
