From Struggling to Walk 1 KM to 10K Steps: Conquering IBS, Shedding Inches, and Embracing an Active Life!
This 40-year-old came to us after undergoing a hysterectomy. Being on heavy antibiotics, led to severe gut issues including IBS.
Beyond IBS, she was also diagnosed with:
- Fatty liver
- Severe diarrhea
- Abdominal pain cramps
- Plantar fasciitis
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- Low energy levels
And more
This is her now.
What worked for her?
- Activating the 5 intelligent systems of her body with precise cellular nutrition and lifestyle: angiogenesis, DNA repair, stem cell regeneration, gut microbiome, immunity, and inflammation
- Our GFCF protocol
- Low smart carb and protein intake to manage her sensitive gut
- Populating the microbiome with good gut bugs with fermented foods and supplementation, as required
- Natural remedies to arrest diarrhea episodes
- Restoring electrolytes balance
- Healthy fats, low FODMAP, and soluble fiber
- Adopting adequate cooking methods
- Managing her blood sugar and deranged lipid levels with our anti-inflammatory protocol=
- Sleep hygiene and magnesium-rich foods for recovery
- Belief in her gut’s ability to heal slowly
- Liver cleanse protocol
- Gentle movements and walks
- Meditation, breathing exercises, and yoga
- Shifting focus from weight loss to fat and inch loss
- Emotional counseling and reframing of negative thought patterns
Finding hope again
“She had issues sleeping at night and preferred taking daytime naps. She feels energized now and has never experienced better gut health. Her severe abdominal cramps have completely disappeared. She could never complete even a 1 km walk or imagine herself riding a bike again. Now she completes 10k steps and rides bikes again like she loved before her diagnosis,” shares Gauri Jaimini, her Nutritionist and Lifestyle Expert at Team Luke.
Reclaiming her confidence
“She was not emotionally strong and always felt embarrassed to socialize due to her frequent bowel movements. Now she takes vacation and goes hiking with family and friends. She works during the day and gets sound sleep for at least 8 hours at night. She isn’t conscious about her weight anymore because she has seen a major inch loss,” beams Gauri
Here’s what she says
Our message of hope
This beautiful and resilient woman came to us with severe stomach cramps, clinically diagnosed IBS, diarrhea, low energy levels, plantar fasciitis, deranged blood sugar and lipids, and a fatty liver (grade 1).
As we delved deeper into her history and started asking questions about her lifestyle, we discovered she had undergone a hysterectomy and had been on heavy antibiotics for an extended period, which had completely depleted her gut microbiome.
Our plan of action was centered around restoring her gut health as the first line of treatment, and then her metabolic health.
She followed the protocol with faith, discipline, and consistency. Gradually, her gut health improved: bowel movements became more regular and of better quality, and her energy levels were restored.
From being unable to walk even a kilometer and struggling with recurrent diarrhea that shook her confidence, she now consistently completes 10,000 steps a day, has reconnected with her passion for bike rides, hikes, and even enjoys occasional vacations with friends and family.
She shines as a testament to the power of lifestyle changes.
What Luke Says
IBS requires a holistic approach. Beyond merely managing symptoms, it is essential to address emotional suppression (common in IBS cases), restore gut health, reduce inflammation, use food as medicine, smart movement, fix micronutrient deficiencies, plan smart meals and macros, and invest deeply in faith and trust.
Move from struggle to strength.
