CASE STUDY & SUCCESS STORIES
Name: Anjali
Age: 24 years
Location: Bangalore
Case History:
Anjali, a software professional, had been dealing with irregular periods, weight gain, and severe acne due to PCOS. She frequently experienced mood swings, sugar cravings, and fatigue during work hours, which made her job even more challenging. Her diet lacked balance and was primarily composed of quick fixes like instant noodles, sugary beverages, and processed snacks, leaving her feeling sluggish and demotivated.
Additionally, she faced bloating and mild depression due to her struggles with self-esteem. She reached out to address these issues and bring her hormonal health back on track.
- Balanced Meals: A mix of complex carbs (millets, quinoa, and sweet potatoes), lean protein (tofu, lentils, and eggs), and healthy fats (avocado, seeds, and nuts).
- Regulated Sugar Cravings: We introduced natural sweet alternatives like dates, dark chocolate (85% cocoa), and fruits such as berries to manage cravings effectively.
- Hormone-Friendly Foods: Added zinc-rich foods like pumpkin seeds and magnesium-rich greens such as spinach to support hormonal balance.
- Detoxifying Foods: Increased her intake of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower to promote estrogen detoxification.
