PSORIASIS

Thanks so much to Shonali for all the help. For helping me in healing my autoimmune condition and holding space for my emotional health as well as. I was in a dark place with food and Shonali has helped me see food differently. In the beginning it was tough and she helped me navigate my cravings (especially biryani and Starbucks). Now, I don’t even crave yogurt or gluten. I still have a long way to go but I’ll able to create my meals myself. The biggest change for me was more energy, more vitality and prana, especially after years of adrenal fatigue and chronic body pains to live my day to day life. Also, applying the TCM and ayurvedic practices for better lifestyle. Thanks again, for teaching me how to eat when family is around that’s usually the hardest for me as everyone eats differently.

I was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and before this psoriasis. My lifestyle, was erratic with food habits and the inclusion of a lot of alcohol. This led me to the hospital and finally diabetes. My wife had attended Shonali’s workshop and was sold on her approach. She told me it would be a change in lifestyle. But despite visiting a nutritionist in the functional medicine area, I was not sorted out. So, my wife and I decided to consult Shonali. She sat in Mumbai and we live in Jaipur. The first consult was a face-to-face meeting, she diagnosed me, prescribed a plan within 2 days. I started her 4-month plan. I have no words to express, where I stand 6 months later. I am a changed person in every way on my sugar parameters, digestive system, blood work and mental state. Shonali has worked diligently, committed, helped my wife with recipes, sorted our eating plan while travelling. But more importantly literally taught me the true meaning of living disease-free. We only met her in person, after 6 months; but were in constant touch on the phone, emails. There is no stone this lady will leave in getting you to be healthy again! Please do consider her approach, to me it’s the only way out of something like what I had. She will not leave your side till you get there. That’s the ’beauty’ and ‘grace’ in her approach as well, a big part in your healing journey. No assistants in-between you and her. It’s just her all the way.

Embarking on the journey to manage my psoriasis led me to a transformative path. Embracing a gut-building macrobiotic diet became my anchor - a slow yet sure improvement unfolded. Supplementing with collagen, embracing red light therapy, and venturing into the hyperbaric oxygen chamber enriched my holistic approach. Crucially, steering clear of corticosteroids proved pivotal, and I wholeheartedly advise against them. Today, I celebrate the progress, testament to the potency of nurturing our bodies with care and thoughtful choices.

“I met Shonali through a friend, and came from a hard-core non-vegetarian style of eating. After going through allopathy and homeopathy, I felt it was time to change my diet to help with my condition. In 4 months of eating the way she prescribed, I have not had my condition worsen. I am still on Shonali’s approach it’s been 6 months and I am seeing a change in my condition. Giving up eating out, dairy, sugar and processed foods has been hard, but totally worth it. The foods she gives you, help you. I am already seeing my skin respond.”
