Living in a cycle of despair

I was diagnosed with PCOS and hormonal imbalance about ten years ago, when my menstrual cycles first became irregular. From then on, I looked for the root cause and tried every form of medicine I could find, always with hope: allopathy, homeopathy, ayurveda, acupuncture, and supplements from a nutritionist. While some of these offered temporary relief by artificially regulating my cycles, none of them changed what was happening underneath.

The hormone supplements I was given to regulate my periods only made my symptoms worse. Year after year, every parameter of PCOS kept slipping. My ovaries were enlarged, my testosterone was elevated, and my thyroid had started to rise too. I could not feel healthy without some medicine or treatment holding me up.

The Leap of Faith

That meant letting go of cooked food completely. I love cooking and trying new recipes, so this felt like the hardest part. Yet within a few days, I settled into a rhythm of raw food, yoga, sun exposure and journaling my progress. My cravings faded, my energy rose, and I could manage both my practice and my office work with more ease.

The Early Challenges

There were hard days too. I went through healing crises: headaches, loose bowels, fatigue and skin rashes. Twice, intense rashes broke out on my skin and healed on their own within a week. During my periods, I had severe acne.

Around day 45 came my lowest point. My appetite dropped, I couldn’t keep up with yoga, and I had lost about 12 kg. I had started the journey at a "perfect" BMI, so the people around me were shocked. There were emotional breakdowns, and days I wondered if I was doing the right thing.

Swati Ma’am’s constant support carried me through. She cleared every single doubt. Whenever I had doubts or old cravings pulled at me, one conversation with her recharged me to carry on without any deviation. She taught me to listen to my body and mind and to give it the rest it needed. Slowly, I understood that even these crises were part of healing.

“The results were clearly visible on my reports, but how I felt inside mattered the most.”

The Breakthroughs

The first sign came early. Within 15 days, my period arrived naturally. Over the next few weeks, I experienced two more natural cycles without the use of a single medication.

After day 70, the brain fog completely lifted. My energy came back. I returned to yoga and sun exposure, and something shifted within me. I felt deeply connected to my inner voice, to the nature around me, and to the God I have always worshipped. I had fresh hope.

At the end of 90 days, I repeated all my tests:

• Testosterone – back within the normal range
