My journey with SHARAN began on Jan 3, 2020, when I joined the ‘Six Weeks to Health Gain and Weight Loss’ program. My life changed completely. I was facing many health problems like asthma, anxiety, hair fall and spine related muscular spasms. After gaining knowledge of the whole food plant-based diet and the cruelty to animals in the dairy industry, there was no looking back.

I followed the SHARAN lifestyle from that very moment and experienced many health benefits, including weight loss and increased energy levels. I could feel the difference in my skin and hair too. What I was really worried about was my chronic asthma. Then I joined the ‘Detox’ program where I learnt more about raw food and the power of affirmations. With this, my asthma eased. The best part of my journey is that I have become calm and peaceful.

I encouraged my family too. My children who were hardcore non-vegetarians in the past have now adopted the vegan lifestyle. Some of the famous shows on Netflix such as ‘What The Health’, ‘Forks over Knives’ and the Neal Barnard shows have been our motivation in this process. I also now bake healthy vegan cakes to promote the vegan lifestyle.

I am truly grateful to the entire SHARAN Team for their support and encouragement. They held our hand in this journey as we took baby steps. I can proudly say that “vegan is the new way of my life.” I am also grateful to my friends Urjita Parkar and Rosemary Parambi, who were with me in the 6 weeks program, for all their support and guidance. In the end I quote James Clear – “the ultimate purpose of habits is to solve problems of life with little energy and effort as much as possible.”

Thank you, SHARAN. – Leena Oberoi, Mar 2021
