Over the years, Umesh’s health slowly got worse, but in the last three years, it became challenging to manage. What began as occasional constipation turned into a daily struggle. His digestion was unpredictable, bloating left him heavy, and palpitations would come suddenly, making him anxious.

He started having serious sleep problems. Nights were restless, and he would wake up tired. This constant fatigue made him irritable and drained before the day even started. Every 10 days or so, he drank alcohol, and this made things worse.

Medicines for anxiety gave some relief at times, but the symptoms always came back. Constipation, low energy, and stomach discomfort became normal parts of his life. That’s when Umesh decided to stop looking for quick fixes and work on the root cause with iThrive.

Mr. Umesh Yadav Primary Health Issues

Stomach Problems

Umesh had been living with constant constipation and bloating. These issues not only made him uncomfortable but also slowed him down in daily life. The bloating left him feeling heavy and sluggish, and constipation meant his digestion was never smooth. Over time, this constant discomfort also started draining his energy.

Anxiety

Frequent palpitations would suddenly strike, frequently causing him to feel anxious and restless. His poor digestion and sleep issues closely correlated with his anxiety. The more his gut and sleep suffered, the more his mind felt on edge, creating a cycle that was difficult to break.

Poor Sleep

For the last three years, sleeping well had become a rare thing for Umesh. He struggled to fall asleep, and even when he did, the sleep was not deep or refreshing. Every morning started with tiredness that followed him throughout the day.

Root Cause Analysis

On his journey with iThrive, Umesh first got a comprehensive root cause analysis report, during which his blood tests were analysed using optimal ranges (this process is unique to functional nutrition). The evaluation uncovered a few key causes of his health issues.

Gut Infections and Inflammation

Testing revealed chronic gut infections that were causing ongoing inflammation and contributing to his digestive discomfort, bloating, and problems with nutrient absorption.

Liver Dysfunction

His liver was struggling to process toxins and support detoxification. Because of this, toxins were build up, making it harder for him to recover from his other health issues.

Electrolyte Imbalance

His electrolyte levels were off balance. The imbalance was affecting his muscle function, causing fatigue and sometimes leading to palpitations and weakness.

Stress and Anxiety

Stress was not just an emotional problem for Umesh; it was directly affecting his physical health. The anxiety made it harder for his body to heal, disrupted his sleep, and kept his nervous system in a constant state of alertness.

Insulin Resistance

Early signs of insulin resistance were making it harder for his body to turn food into steady energy. This contributed to his fatigue, mood swings, and inflammation.

iThrive's Intervention

The first step was removing foods that were triggering inflammation, like gluten, dairy, sugar, excess salt, seed oils, corn, soy, and processed foods. Umesh was given a simple eating routine of three balanced meals and two snacks, focusing on fresh, home-cooked food. We also guided him on reducing toxins from his environment and daily products. Lifestyle changes like meditation, breathwork, and a calming bedtime routine helped his body recover and improved his sleep.

First Month

We began by removing foods that were triggering inflammation in his body, like gluten, dairy, sugar, excess salt, seed oils, corn, soy, and all processed foods. At the same time, we set a clear meal pattern with three balanced home-cooked meals and one or two healthy snacks every day. A targeted supplement plan was introduced to improve his sleep and support liver health. We also brought in simple lifestyle changes like daily meditation, breathwork and a calming bedtime routine to help his mind relax. On top of that, we guided him on reducing toxin exposure from everyday products and his surroundings.

Second Month

By the second month, Umesh’s digestion had made a complete turnaround; his bowel movements became regular, bloating disappeared and with the help of melatonin, his sleep improved drastically. This boost in rest naturally lifted his energy levels and mood, reducing his anxiety. We also taught him practical tips like properly washing fruits and vegetables, controlling portion sizes, and completely avoiding alcohol to protect his liver.

third Month

The final phase focused on consistency. Umesh learned to protect his sleep schedule, even avoiding late-night cricket matches, and used blue-light-blocking glasses to support his body’s natural rhythm. We introduced a gentle detox program to help his liver clear out toxins, and by the end of the month, his gut health was fully restored. His eating habits were stronger than ever; each meal had the right balance, especially with enough protein to keep his energy stable throughout the day.

Lifestyle and Ongoing Support

Today, Umesh still follows the healthy habits we built together, like daily meditation, mindful eating, and simple breathwork to manage stress. Regular follow-ups with iThrive keep him motivated and help him stay on track. His digestion is smooth, his sleep is deep, his energy is steady, and he feels calmer and healthier than he has in years.
