Chittaranjan Ghosh was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, significantly impacting his overall well-being, including his mental health. ‘Learning I had diabetes was overwhelming and affected every part of my life,’ he recalls.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Comorbidities
In addition to diabetes, Chittaranjan faced chronic kidney disease (CKD) with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 30. He was also on insulin. ‘Managing CKD along with diabetes felt like a never-ending battle,’ he shares.
Introduction to Breathe Well-being’s Program
In search of a holistic approach to managing his health, Chittaranjan joined Breathe Well-being’s program. This decision marked a transformative turn in his health journey.
The program provided a structured, supportive environment tailored to his specific needs. ‘Joining Breathe Well-being was one of the best decisions I made,’ he reflects.

Over time, his energy levels increased, mental clarity improved, and he felt more in control of his health. ‘The holistic nature of the program helped me manage my diabetes and CKD effectively,’ he adds.
How My Health Coach Helped Me
Chittaranjan’s health coach, Riya Chowdhury, played a crucial role in his health improvement. Riya worked closely with him to make sustainable changes to his diet and lifestyle.
She designed a diet plan that managed his blood sugar levels while considering his CKD dietary restrictions. ‘Riya introduced me to a balanced diet that was both diabetes-friendly and kidney-safe,’ he says.
The plan included low-glycemic foods, lean proteins, and plenty of vegetables. Riya also encouraged Chittaranjan to incorporate regular exercise into his routine. ‘Starting with simple walks and gentle yoga, I gradually built up my stamina,’ he shares.
Additionally, she helped him adopt healthier habits, such as regular hydration, stress management techniques, and better sleep hygiene. ‘Riya’s guidance on lifestyle changes has been life-changing. The small, consistent changes made a huge difference,’ he remarks.
How My Doctors Helped Me
Chittaranjan’s medical team was instrumental in managing his complex health issues. His nephrologist closely monitored his CKD progression, adjusting medications and advising on dietary restrictions to slow the disease’s advancement. ‘My nephrologist’s careful monitoring helped manage my CKD and prevent further complications,’ he notes.
Endocrinologists managed his diabetes and insulin regimen, optimizing his medication to stabilize his blood sugar levels. ‘The endocrinologist’s expertise in balancing my diabetes and CKD treatments has significantly improved my overall health’, he says.
Regular check-ups and tests were crucial in tracking his progress and adjusting treatments as needed. The multidisciplinary approach ensured that all aspects of his health were addressed, with each specialist providing coordinated care. ‘The collaboration between my doctors made all the difference in managing my multiple conditions,’ he remarks.
