Pulkit's before and after photos

As the year comes to a close we wanted to give you the gift of hope by sharing a customer success story.

Pulkit, a 25 year old banking professional, struggled with his weight since middle school. As an adult, he made numerous attempts to shed significant pounds, relying on “common knowledge” – cut out the sweets and exercise – but like millions of people in the same boat, was never able to lose more than a few pounds at a time. “When you only lose 4-6 pounds after dieting and exercising for a month, it’s easy to give up,” he said. The ongoing struggle took a toll on his self-esteem and Pulkit had come to terms that he would be overweight for life.

When Pulkit learned about the Inherent Health Weight Management Genetic Test, he wondered if this could finally be the key to losing the weight and keeping it off. His test results indicated that his body would respond best to a diet low in carbs and high metabolic exercise (a change from the strength training that he previously engaged in). Although Pulkit tried “low carb” diets in the past, the test results educated him on the difference between good carbs and bad carbs and suggested foods that were best suited to his unique genetic makeup.

After one week, Pulkit lost more weight (7 pounds) by dieting and exercising according to his genes then with any of the approaches he had tried in the past.  Eight months later he was down more than 50 pounds; reduced his body fat by nearly one-third; and went from a size 38 waist to a size 32.

Pulkit credits the test with arming with providing the information and confidence that he needed to dramatically alter his life. In his own words, “I never again have to wonder if the latest diet trend would work for me because my genes will never change,” he said. “I have come to understand that losing weight should require work, but it should not be a constant struggle. I‘ve adopted the information from the test into my lifestyle to ensure I will always retain a healthy weight.”

As we head into the New Year, we hope sharing Pulkit’s story provides you with the encouragement you need to begin or stay on your own health journey. We wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy holiday season.

Until Next Year,
