Success Story

I was 72 years old, overweight and living with type 2 diabetes for over a decade. My days were filled with medications. I felt like my body was breaking down piece by piece and I was just trying to keep up. At 72 years old, I never imagined I’d be starting over, not in retirement, but in reclaiming my health.

Coming from an African culture, I grew up with the belief that being a bit overweight was a sign of health, prosperity and good living. So, when I started losing weight, I wasn’t happy about it. It felt like I was losing a part of my identity. But it turns out that what I was shedding was something far more dangerous: abdominal fat that had been quietly driving my insulin resistance and harming my health.

Before I met Faranak, I was living a life dependent on pills. I was on medication for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic pain, inflammation and even acid reflux, which used to torment me every single night. My days revolved around managing symptoms and my nights were far from restful. I didn’t realize it then, but I was surviving, not living.

Everything changed when I was introduced to the ketogenic diet under the supervision of Faranak from Health Wealth Nutrition. With her expert guidance, regular follow-ups and compassionate support, I committed to the program. Within nine months, not only had I reversed my type 2 diabetes, but I was completely off all my chronic medications. No more insulin. No more blood pressure pills. No more acid reflux tormenting my evenings. No more chronic pain.

But the transformation didn’t stop there. For the first time in years, I feel truly well. My digestion is calm, I sleep peacefully through the night, my mind is sharp and I have more energy than I’ve had in decades. This isn’t just the absence of disease, it’s the presence of real health. I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Faranak. She has been professional, patient and remarkably knowledgeable. She never made me feel like just another client; she made me feel seen, heard and empowered. Whether during consultations or in between them, she was always just a message away, answering my questions and guiding me every step of the way.

Through her education and insights, I finally understood what no doctor ever took the time to explain. For years, I was lost in a broken system that only managed symptoms, a system driven by the pharmaceutical and food industries that profit from keeping people sick. Faranak helped me see the truth and taught me how to heal through real food and lifestyle changes. This journey has changed my life. My health has been transformed and with it, my future.

I only wish I had found this path sooner, but I’m deeply grateful I found it when I did. If you’re struggling with chronic illness, don’t give up. There is hope and Faranak can help you find it, just like she helped me.
