AUTOIMMUNE DIET

My heartfelt gratitude to Shonali mam: her guidance in diet and her positive talks made me physically and emotionally strong enough to become a second-time mother. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition rheumatoid arthritis when my firstborn was 7 months old. I suffered a lot from this. I consulted many doctors in allopathy, ayurveda, and naturopathy but nothing helped much. Finally, I consulted with a holistic health coach who was able to get my condition under control but with a lot of supplements close to 15 -20 supplements a day. I was on these supplements for close to 4 years. I always had a wish to have a second baby, my health coach said 'No' the reason given was due to my medical condition and we accepted this. I had an unplanned pregnancy and the health coach supported my decision to continue the pregnancy but after 3 months I had preeclampsia and my health coach suggested I abort due to complications and we adhered to this. I always felt my life was supported by supplements and not natural foods and I had lost the courage to try anything new. Finally, I found Shonali through a mutual friend; she treated my father-in-law for insomnia with only natural food and fermentation. After seeing the results, I was encouraged to go under her. After consulting Shonali mam, my quality of life improved exponentially, I felt very energetic and my physical strength improved a lot. I again, had an unplanned pregnancy and Shonali mam gave us the courage to continue the pregnancy. She cleared all our doubts and myths that we had about my pregnancy and childbirth. Now we are blessed with a healthy baby boy who is 5 months old, and I had a wonderful and healthy pregnancy journey. I followed the post-delivery diet given by Shonali, and I was able to maintain my autoimmune condition without any flare-ups. Thank you, Shonali for gifting me motherhood for the second time.

“I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune) and I knew my erratic lifestyle with sleeping late and travelling did not allow me to keep healthy. I already had a thyroid condition, but being diagnosed with RA left me shocked. I first tried homeopathy, but it did not show much result, I then went on to Ayurveda at a 7- star place; however, that too did not show any results. Finally, when I met Shonali, she started me on her diet and tried to establish regular lifestyle habits. She did not allow me to travel for a whole year, and got me to meet the doctor she works with – combining Ayurveda and her diet. In 8 months my doctors declared that I had been miss-diagnosed, and I was one step away from a lethal drug called methotrexate, can you believe this story? I hope this testimonial inspires you to approach Shonali for any ailment you may have. She is the only answer to handling such difficult diseases with her approach.”

I have had issues with my gut and immunity in general for the longest time. I remember crying everyday before going to school because my stomach would hurt and I would feel so uneasy. I have also always been a highly anxious person. In my life of 25 years, I have had innumerable hospital visits, one surgery, PCOD, thyroid, autoimmune issues, IBS, many viral fevers and allergies. It was a rare virus attack last year that accounted for two months of – fever, headaches and pains and leading to an autoimmune issue surfacing after 3 months that jolted me. I had no other choice but to make changes to my life. I was never an unhealthy eater by any means but when I started consulting Shonali I got the right order and choice of foods for myself. It’s been a month of following the diet and I feel much fitter, my gut feels good, my autoimmune symptoms are better, and I have more energy during the day.
