This 11-YO Went From 72.2 to 67.5 kg and Got Her Thyroid Levels Under Control in Just 4 Weeks!
Diagnosed with deranged thyroid levels, this 11-year-old went from 72.2 to 67.5 kg and got her parameters under control in just 4 weeks!
Ashwika came to us with:
- Deranged thyroid profile, liver and renal parameters
- Imbalanced blood sugar levels
- Excess fat gain
And more.
What worked for her?
We decoded her lifestyle and focused on:
- Designing a personalized lifestyle plan that tapped into five defense systems: Anti-angiogenesis, DNA repair, stem cell regeneration, populating the gut microbiome, reducing inflammation, and training immunity using deep cellular nutrition and lifestyle.
- Addressing her hormonal, thyroid, liver, kidney health, and blood sugar levels
- Creating a food plan that was nutrient-dense, covered variety, and balanced health and flavor
- Building micro, macronutrient & fiber balance even if she was eating pizza or pasta
- Addressing Vitamin D3 and B12 levels
- Personalizing movement to suit her age and body type
- Practicing sleep hygiene
- Building a sustainable routine that took into account her likes, dislikes, school timings, and exams
- Coaching her on navigating her emotions and cultivating resilience
- Adjustments to cater to changes in her routine during school & exams
- Addressing emotions as & when they surfaced
- Her mother’s support worked like medicine and of course Ashwika’s dedication to sort this out
Moving from fear to faith
“When her mother came to us, she was scared for her daughter, as she did not want her to be on medication for this at a young age. Together, we decided to give lifestyle a chance and monitor her nutrition closely. We repeated her blood work after a month to check her thyroid levels to see if we were on the right track. The results speak for itself,” shares Amrozia Sayyed, her Head Nutritionist and Lifestyle Expert at Team Luke.
Personalizing her journey and hand-holding
“As she is only 11, we had to play around with her meals and give options for healthy pizza, pasta, and sushi, among other foods. We tried to strike a balance as she juggled exams and school. Ashwika may be young, but her efforts and openness to change were massive. Her determination, coupled with her mother’s guidance, helped us crack the case. She has a better understanding of her health now and wants to try options with healthy bakes. Super proud of her journey,” adds Amrozia.
Words of gratitude
“Thank you so much, Luke and team for everything. My daughter has learned a life lesson that being healthy is extremely important. At a young age, she realized that if we want, we can reverse any disease with patience because food is the cause and the cure. It wouldn’t be possible without your efforts for Ashwika to recover quickly and efficiently. Thank you so much,” shares her mother.
What Luke Says
Our 2 cents
Kids developing lifestyle diseases is becoming increasingly common. As parents & caretakers, it’s our responsibility to handle this the right way because if they are sick now, imagine their quality of life in their 50s, 60s, 70s & beyond.
Determined to get Ashwika’s lifestyle back on track, her mom came to us with concerns like deranged blood sugar, thyroid profile, liver and kidney parameters & excess body fat.
The easiest option was to get on lifetime medications. While some cases do need meds (as a crutch), there has to be an equal emphasis on making lifestyle changes. Medications may make the parameters look good on the report, but symptomatically, the truth is that you are still sick!
Ashwika & her mom took it in stride and gave lifestyle changes a fair try. We understood her habits, food, activity, sleep, emotions – in detail and put together a lifestyle plan, not just a diet plan.
And here we are today, proudly sharing her story & inspiring all young boys, girls & their parents.
Seeing young boys & girls follow healthier lifestyles makes me so happy because every healthy kid is a hope for a healthier & happier future.
A kid’s subconscious mind is like a sponge, ready to absorb whatever you teach them. That’s why it’s easier to introduce them to a healthier lifestyle & as parents, we are in a large way responsible for how we mold them.
So proud of her & her mom.
