In this personal, motivational video Dr. Aravind Padmaraju shares his life story, beginning with his humble upbringing in a small farming village in Andhra Pradesh, India. He describes how, despite lacking money, English, or tech exposure, he worked his way up to become the head of IT for a Dubai‑based firm. While his external achievements—high salary, promotions, and later a doctorate, TEDx talk, two books, and a 40‑Under‑40 award—painted a picture of success, he simultaneously suffered chronic stress, burnout, emotional voids, and financial anxiety. The narrative takes a darker turn in 2013 when he loses his life partner, leading to grief‑induced weight gain, health decline, and eventually a business collapse and job loss in 2020. Facing depression, panic attacks, and suicidal thoughts, he turns to spiritual prayer and a quiet inner voice that prompts him to heal. He embarks on a holistic healing journey using tools such as Ho’oponopono, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), inner‑child work, breathwork, and energy alignment. Through disciplined practice he loses 23 kg, rebuilds his health, and decides to quit his IT career to become a full‑time health and transformation coach, earning international certification. Over time he claims to have helped more than 30,000 people with physical pain, emotional trauma, relationship wounds, and financial blocks. The video includes a client testimonial from Gurpreet, who lost 10 kg in three months after joining Aravind’s HealthFit program, citing improvements in health, wealth, and relationships. Dr. Padmaraju also highlights his achievements—TEDx speaker, doctorate, author, marathon runner, and founder of a wellness movement called Hafit that promotes holistic health habits for families. He concludes with a call to action, urging viewers to stop pretending they are okay and to begin their own healing journey, emphasizing that his transformation from a village boy to a global healer demonstrates what is possible for anyone.

They say time heals everything, but what if the time only made the pain louder? This is a story of an Indian guy born in a small village in Andhra Pradesh, raised in a humble farmer family where every meal came from sweat and soil. No luxuries and no shortcuts, just strong values and endless struggle, and a parent's dream that he would do something big one day. He had no money, no big connections, but he carried something far more powerful, a heart full of dreams. Dreams to rise above the struggle, dreams to not to survive but to serve, to become someone who could truly make the difference. But life does not always honor our dreams. Sometimes it breaks you before it builds you. In year 2013, I lost my life partner, the one I thought I would grow old with. Gone without warning. Grief swallowed me. I gained 23 kgs. My body broke down and mind spiraled. In 2020, I began my health journey. I shed 23 kgs, but healing the body was just a start. You see, before that, I had done what many dreams of. From a small village with no English, no tech exposure, I rose step by step to become a head of IT in Dubai. From nothing to everything on paper, but career build through hard work, long nights, and relentless hustle. But behind the promotions and the salary, I was breaking inside. I was battling chronic stress, mental burnout, emotional voids, and relationship wounds, and financial anxiety despite of earning well. I had achieved the success from outside, but I was losing myself from the inside. Then there came my business collapse, and almost I was bankrupt, and I also lost the job the same time. And slowly I started focusing on one thing, I thought I would never lose, that is myself. I fell into a darkness, depression, panic attack, suicidal thoughts, nights where I beg not to wake up. And yet in the silence, I always used to pray to God, please help me. One day a quiet voice whispered, Arvind, get up. And that's where I began my healing. Not all at once, but breath by breath, tear by tear, step by step. I choose to face my pain, not to escape it. Through my coaches and through these amazing tools like Ho'oponopono, EFT, inner child healing, breathwork, energy alignment, and holistic wellness tools, I rebuilt myself from the inside out. I did not just come back, I rose, and I made the biggest decision of my life, and I quit my IT career and stepped into my soul's calling. To become a full-time health and transformation coach, and I became an international certified healer. Over period, I helped 30,000+ people to heal from the physical pain, emotional traumas, and relationship wounds, financial blocks, and much more.
I joined HealthFit in the month of November, first week, and I am able to drop up to 4 kgs in the period of 5 weeks. Before joining Arvind's program, I was struggling with my health and I was 81 kg. And I lost 10 kg in 3 months. I would say this program has entirely changed my life. When first I connected with Arvind sir, I was quite confused. What will I do? Will this program really help me? There was so many question in my mind, but he said, Gurpreet, join this program. And I, I joined that program, and today I can say that yes, this program has changed my life in terms of health, wealth, relationship.
From anxiety to alignment, from breakdowns to breakthroughs, from self-doubt to self-mastery. I became a TEDx speaker and also received a doctorate and wrote 2 books and received a 40 Under 40 Award.
