Live Micro Case Presentations

Short, powerful case stories that show what is possible when lifestyle becomes the main prescription.

  • Diabetes reversal with stepwise medication reduction and lifestyle-first strategies.
  • PCOS and menstrual health restored through food, rhythm, and stress work.
  • Fatty liver and obesity improvements tracked with labs, inches, and energy levels.

HolistiCon 2024 Highlights

HolistiCon 2024 in Hyderabad showcased a full auditorium of doctors, coaches, and families witnessing lifestyle medicine in action.

  • 12 detailed case presentations across diabetes, PCOS, obesity, cardiac risk, and autoimmune conditions.
  • Panel conversations on the gap between “medical care” and true “health care”.
  • Strong response from HNTP students, alumni, and clinicians who attended in person and online.

Selected video clips and replay access are included in your HolistiCon 2025 bundle.

Client Transformation Stories

Across HNW programs, clients have reported life-changing outcomes when they committed to lifestyle change.

  • Medication tapering and, in some cases, discontinuation under medical supervision.
  • Better energy, sleep quality, emotional stability, and confidence.
  • Improved labs for blood sugar, lipids, liver function, inflammation markers and more.

During HolistiCon you will hear selected voices and see how ordinary people applied simple principles consistently.

HNTP Student & Coach Experiences

HolistiCon is also a celebration of the community of doctors, dietitians, and coaches trained through the Holistic Nutrition Training Program (HNTP) and ALSM workshops.

  • Stories of clinicians who moved from prescription-only practice to lifestyle-first care.
  • Coaches who now run independent or hybrid practices from home, clinics, and corporates.
  • Reflections on how this work has changed their own health, family life, and sense of purpose.

For many attendees, this is the moment where they realise that lifestyle medicine can be both a calling and a viable career path.

Real People. Real Reversal.

Six carefully curated case stories from HolistiCon 2025 that prove chronic diseases are reversible with the right coaching and lifestyle medicine.

CKD Stage 3B & Hypertension Middle-aged male reverses key kidney markers & regains muscle strength Coach: Revathi Prasad • Creatinine ↓ • PTH & Phosphorus normalized • Muscle mass ↑

From chronic fatigue, high creatinine and emotional collapse to renewed energy, muscle gain and improved kidney parameters.

Diagnosed in 2019, he reached Revathi with high creatinine, urine glucose, blood traces and critically low muscle mass (39.7%). The deeper assessment revealed emotional stress from his wife's cancer journey, low protein intake, possible hormonal imbalances, and medication mismatch. With a holistic, root-cause centered approach, his kidney markers, PTH, phosphorus and strength improved significantly within months.

TYPE 1 DIABETES • INSULIN DEPENDENCY Young woman stabilizes Type 1 Diabetes & reduces insulin dependency through structured lifestyle support Coach: Dhanyalakshmi N • Improved glucose stability • Reduced insulin requirement • Enhanced daily functioning

From unpredictable sugar swings, dependence on high daily insulin doses and chronic fatigue → to stable glucose patterns, lower insulin requirement and renewed physical confidence.

Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, she struggled with fluctuating sugars, frequent fatigue, and increasing dependence on exogenous insulin. When she met Dhanyalakshmi, her routine was heavily medication-driven, with very little clarity on nutrition, stress, and recovery patterns that directly influence insulin needs.

Through a structured lifestyle framework — nutritional rebalancing, consistent glycemic-friendly meals, stress-lowering practices, sleep correction, and metabolic monitoring — her glucose variability reduced noticeably. Over time, her insulin dosage was optimized, stability improved, energy levels increased, and day-to-day confidence returned.

Dhanyalakshmi’s approach helped her understand her triggers, take charge of her day, and work alongside her medical treatment plan to create a safer, more stable internal environment for long-term health.

EMOTIONAL HEALTH & PARENTING A child’s emotional wounds heal when the parent learns to become emotionally present Coach: Daniyah Irfan • Emotional availability ↑ • Child anxiety ↓ • Family connection restored

From emotional distance and chronic misunderstandings → to genuine connection, emotional safety, and deeply restored parent–child bonding.

This case explores a subtle but powerful problem: emotional unavailability. The parent was physically present but emotionally distant — no real conversations, no empathy during distress, and no emotional validation. The child gradually developed feelings of invisibility, low self-worth, and emotional loneliness despite having every material comfort.

Through guided self-awareness exercises, emotional journaling, and weekly connection rituals, the parent began recognizing their own unresolved emotional patterns, past trauma, and stress. As emotional presence increased — through listening, acknowledging feelings, and creating safe conversation spaces — the child’s emotional stability improved dramatically.

This transformation highlights a core principle of holistic lifestyle medicine: healing isn’t only physical — it’s relational, emotional, and deeply human.

ENDOMETRIOSIS • INFERTILITY Woman with endometriosis regains hope and conceives after holistic lifestyle intervention Coach: Radhika Srinivasan • Chronic pelvic pain ↓ • Hormonal balance supported • Natural conception achieved*

From years of pain, repeated disappointment and “IVF is your only option” → to reduced symptoms, restored confidence and a long-awaited pregnancy.

This client had been living with endometriosis for years. Painful cycles, fatigue, and repeated fertility disappointments had left her emotionally exhausted. Conventional medical advice focused mainly on surgery and assisted reproduction, and she came to Radhika looking for a gentler, whole-person approach that could work alongside medical care.

Radhika’s holistic program combined anti-inflammatory nutrition, gut support, gentle movement, targeted stress-reduction practices, sleep restoration, and emotional coaching. Over time, her pain scores reduced, cycles became more predictable, energy improved, and lab markers showed better overall balance. Most importantly, her sense of agency and hope returned.

While remaining under the care of her gynecologist, she continued the holistic protocol — and eventually conceived naturally. This case illustrates how an integrative, root-cause-based lifestyle approach can complement medical treatment and create a more fertile internal environment for healing and conception.

*Individual results vary. Holistic lifestyle interventions support, but do not replace, appropriate medical or surgical care.

CHRONIC MIGRAINE • LONG-STANDING CONDITION Long-standing chronic migraine reversed through structured holistic nutrition & lifestyle therapy Coach: K. Sandhya Raj • Frequency ↓ • Intensity ↓ • Trigger stability ↑ • Energy & daily function improved

From years of debilitating migraine episodes → to steady relief, reduced triggers and complete symptom reversal through lifestyle-based healing.

This client had been struggling with chronic migraines for several years. Persistent episodes, medication dependency, sleep disruption, sensitivity to light and sound, and unpredictable triggers were affecting daily life and work productivity. When she consulted Sandhya, the focus shifted towards understanding the deeper physiological, dietary and emotional contributors to her migraine pattern.

Sandhya’s structured holistic plan included anti-inflammatory meal patterns, hydration balance, sleep correction, gut restoration, identifying trigger foods, stress-reduction tools, and gentle detox-supportive habits. Step by step, these interventions lowered migraine frequency, reduced severity, stabilized triggers, and restored energy levels.

Within weeks, the client reported fewer painful episodes. Over the following months, her migraines reduced dramatically — eventually disappearing entirely. The case demonstrates how chronic migraine, often considered lifelong, can be reversed when the body’s environment is corrected through holistic nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

TYPE 2 DIABETES • NO APPS • NO CGM • NO SUPPLEMENTS Type 2 diabetes reversed without apps, gadgets, CGM, supplements, expensive tests or dietary deprivation Coach: Neeraja Ajay • Glucose stability ↑ • Medication load ↓ • Lifestyle adherence ↑ • Rural-friendly coaching model

From rising sugars, dependence on medications and confusion from contradictory advice → to stable glucose patterns, reduced medication need and effortless lifestyle adoption — all without tech, supplements, or restrictive diets.

This client approached Neeraja with uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes and increasing dependency on medications. Unlike typical diabetes management approaches involving CGM devices, expensive diagnostics, strict calorie charts or supplement-driven protocols, Neeraja’s method focused entirely on simplicity and personalization.

Since the client belonged to a non-urban, rural setting, the goal was to remove complexity and avoid tools they were unfamiliar with. The transformation began with a deep exploration of the client’s root causes — daily habits, emotional patterns, meal timings, activity levels, stressors, and family routines.

Through empathetic, heart-to-heart communication, Neeraja simplified the lifestyle strategy: accessible meals, gentle routine corrections, removing confusion around food, improving sleep and digestion, and designing practical habits that fit naturally into the client’s rural lifestyle. No deprivation, no apps, no gadgets, no strict protocols — only sustainable change.

Over time, the client experienced significant improvement in fasting and post-meal sugars, better energy, reduced medication needs, and a renewed sense of confidence. The case demonstrates that Type 2 diabetes reversal is not about sophistication — it’s about personalization, empathy, and restoring metabolic balance through simple, human-centered coaching.

Your Personal Health Discovery Call

A thoughtful, one-on-one conversation with an HNW holistic health coach — designed to understand your real life, not to sell you a program.

What to Expect from the Discovery Call

This is a guided conversation led by a qualified HNW holistic health coach, focused on listening first and understanding your unique health context.

Duration: The call typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of your case and the questions you bring.

  • Your current health concerns and goals
  • Lifestyle patterns, stressors, routines, and constraints
  • Metabolic and behavioural signals often missed in routine consultations

There is no obligation to enroll in any program during or after this call.

We offer this because meaningful health change begins with listening — not diagnosing, prescribing, or rushing to solutions.

Based on your discovery call, you receive a personalised 21-day health plan designed around your real life — not a generic template.

  • Food and metabolic strategy aligned to your needs
  • Sleep and circadian rhythm reset cues
  • Simple movement and mobility routines
  • Emotional and mental well-being anchors
  • Habit tracking and accountability prompts

Support included: You will receive two follow-up calls during the 3-week period with a qualified HNW coach to review progress, remove friction, and course-correct where needed.
