Sandhya is a pharmacist in Australia.  In 2019 she started getting symptoms of breathlessness and palpitations.  So she went to the doctor and got everything checked out, but the only thing they could find was that she was pre-diabetic, so her doctor told her she needed to lose some weight. She recognized that she overate, particularly sugary things. So she decided to do a self-hypnosis course for 6 weeks with guidelines on how to cut out sugar, and it was life-changing for her.  Sandhya managed to change her entire diet to not include added sugar.
