Testimonials from defEAT Diabetes 1 & 2 English:

I consider extremely privileged and fortunate to have attended and immensely benefitted from 6 weeks DEFEAT Diabetes course conducted by Dr. Lakshmi & Chef Neelima.

I thoroughly enjoyed and feel blessed by being part of this exclusive offering.

Although there were many special highlights, let me capture a few that I personally relished:

Kudos to Dr. Lakshmi & Chef Neelima, for ably partnering in this endeavor. They combined with a great degree of balance while sharing valuable perspectives from their professional backgrounds of being a medical Doctor and Chef, respectively
The entire program was well thought of, aptly sequenced, smoothly paced, nicely designed and therefore was easy to follow
The tips and traps for ensuring long-term healthy lifestyle, were exceptionally useful
The guidance, explanation and reasoning provided by Dr. Lakshmi in terms of holistic health inputs were helpful and invaluable
The recipes shared and demonstrated by Chef Neelima were creative. What I liked best was that one could easily make the dishes at home, with available ingredients
They clarified all doubts and apprehensions of the participants, with expert practical advice
In addition to the common classes along with other participants, the one-on-one consultation sessions with Dr. Lakshmi & Chef Neelima were an interesting feature. The personalized assistance and suggestions specifically based on my health background was enriching. The hand-holding process was warm and encouraging and I felt very cared
The safe and trusting space extended by them, made me feel quite at ease to discuss all difficulties and challenges faced without any inhibitions
The improvements experienced by me cannot be described in words. I feel tremendously energetic and positive. I am definitely optimistic not only to practice what I learnt, but also ensure to stay on the track of absolute well-being
As a participant desirous to implement a healthy lifestyle in an enduring manner, the awareness and knowledge gained which included lots of quality learning and unlearning, can be easily practiced

The program has been so well crafted and guided that anyone can join and follow the regime. Dr Lakshmi is super supportive, knowledgeable and an excellent mentor. Chef Neelima is simply awesome she will come up with recipes which are easy to make, super delicious and of course healthy that people can fall only for the food. The program is very interactive and pays attention to minute details and provide suggestions and option by the coaches as we make with the program. Highly recommended for people who are working to get off medication and improving their health and also for people who want to choose a healthy lifestyle.

~ Feedback from a participant

I would like to sincerely thank Dr Lakshmi and Ms Neelima for conducting SHARAN's Defeat Diabetes online classes with immense personal energy, passion and a genuine desire to help everyone. If someone had told me 5-6 weeks ago that I will not only learn, but also put into practise, so many different life changing habits in this short span of time, I would have responded with a "No chance!". However, here I am, eagerly looking forward to my morning exercises and breakfast smoothies, with a completely different take on cooking and eating "clean", and in general, experiencing a better quality of life than the one from just a month ago. Thanks to this course, I have not only been able to reduce my dependence on medicines, I have also gained the confidence that I can improve my overall well-being by continuing to practise the life-skills that I have learnt in the last few weeks. Dr Lakshmi and Ms Neelima have been very patient and involved in their interactions on the WhatsApp group and extremely considerate in providing much needed personalised counselling during the fortnightly one-on-one sessions. I am thankful to both of them for sharing many real-life insights from their own personal journeys, which have brought the course to life and made it a lot more actionable for all participants. I highly recommend this course to everyone (diabetic or otherwise!) to learn (and practise) some very valuable life-skills from inspirational practitioners like Dr Lakshmi and Ms Neelima, who "Walk the Talk" every day!
