How Conscious Breathing Reversed Heart Trouble, Stress & Cholesterol: Abhijith’s Real Story

In this podcast, host Badrinath Gella interviews Abhijit K V, a former bank customer‑relationship manager who faced a severe cardiac crisis in early 2025. Doctors told him his heart and lungs were functioning at only 70% and advised a heart‑lung transplant. Overwhelmed by fear for his young children, Abhijit enrolled in a two‑day, low‑cost (₹99) Conscious Breathing (CBH) workshop. Within days he felt internal vibrations and, after joining the CBH Silver membership, experienced rapid health improvements over three weeks: weight loss of 2‑3 kg, resting heart rate dropping from ~109 bpm to the mid‑90s, reduction of daily medication from 19 tablets to 5, and normalization of cholesterol, blood pressure, sugar, and hemoglobin (from 25 g/dL to 23 g/dL). Encouraged by his doctor’s surprise, he progressed to the Diamond membership and completed a Breathwork Coach certification, subsequently teaching others and earning a modest income. He describes profound mental and emotional shifts—greater confidence, reduced anxiety, and a sense of purpose—alongside lifestyle changes: daily morning breathing and pranayama, early dinner (by 7 pm), elimination of milk, reduced meals to two per day, regular affirmations, and positive family interactions. Abhijit emphasizes the importance of self‑investment, urging professionals who rely solely on allopathic medicine to incorporate conscious breathing to lower medication dependence. He recounts spending roughly ₹70 lakhs on conventional medical care before the CBH program, contrasting it with the relatively small financial commitment to the Diamond membership, which he funded with help from a cousin abroad. His vision now is to heal others by sharing CBH practices, and he advises listeners to try the Silver program as a gateway to better health.
Chapters
I was breathless for even climbing for 3-4 steps. So only 70% of my heart was working. And I was thinking about my son, who was only 7 years that time. They asked me to go to Chennai and register for heart-lung transplant. And all my memories, my past memories with my mother had gone through my mind. I was unable to sleep. Immediately after 2 days, I felt some vibrations inside the body. From there, nothing to say, sir. Nothing to look back. Every day I found a small change in me. 19 tablets on the day I was in the hospital. Today I am with 5. Within span of 3 weeks, I have— my weight was reduced by 2-3 kilos. My heart rate, it reduced totally, sir. It was somewhere around 108, 109. It's reduced, it reduced to 98, 95. It's very much happy. There are a lot, I mean, almost like 8-9 changes I've seen in 20 days maximum, 3 weeks.
This is a powerful story of turning the impossible into possible. Abhijit is a bank employee working as a customer relationship manager. He was struggling with his health, and he was told by doctors that his heart functioning was only 70% and that he should register for a heart-lung transplant. On top of that, his sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, and hemoglobin levels were all dangerously high, and sleep was difficult. But instead of registering for a transplant, Abhijit registered with CBH, and in just 3 weeks, he saw drastic changes. His weight dropped, his energy returned, his parameters came under control, and most importantly, he regained his confidence and peace of mind. Today, he's not just healed, he's a lifetime member and a certified breath healer and spreading this knowledge to others. From near crisis to inner peace, his journey is a testimony to the healing power within. Let's welcome Abhijit K V. So, Namaste, Namaste, Abhijit.
Namaste, sir.
Thank you so much for coming for this podcast.
Yeah, I'm honored to be here.
How are you feeling?
I'm good. I'm really excited, and this is my first podcast, and I'm happy to be here. And I'm very much— I know myself that I have cured because of you, and I'm thankful for that.
Thank you. Thank you, Abhijit, for coming and taking your time. So, Abhijit, your story is one of the most inspiring stories in our Yes, sir. Right, so I know like you have gone a lot of things in your life. Yes, right. So one of the things also you have mentioned that your heart and lung are functioning only 70%.
Yes.
And doctors advised a lung transplant. Yes, sir. So what was going through in your mind that time? And, uh, like what are the challenges you are facing?
So I was working for Aditya Birla, sir, in the, in the month of March, and there was— I had a giddiness and they took me to the hospital. Came back to Hyderabad, had a thorough checkup, and I was breathless for even climbing for 3-4 steps.
Okay.
So doctor said, get my wife to talk to her. And they were speaking like my heart and lung was almost not working, 20-30% less. So only 70% of my heart was working. So immediately my wife and I was thinking about my son. Who was only 7 years that time, and now he is 8. So I was worried about him, my family. I had a daughter again, which is older than her, 13 years she is now. I was thinking about them. They asked me to go to Chennai and register for heart-lung transplant. And all my memories, my past memories with my mother, had gone through my mind. I was unable to sleep. Quite the things at the time was coming to my mind. Never thought about health getting back to this stage until and unless there was a pop-up come. I mean, I was thinking of registering at heart lung transplant registration. Instead, I got your thing. I registered for your workshop, workshop, 2 days, 2 days workshop for ₹99. And I thought It's only about 99 rupees. Then let's try. Immediately after 2 days, I felt some vibrations inside the body.
Okay.
And I thought, if this is the thing what is happening, then it should help more. So I immediately joined your Silver membership course. From there, nothing to say, sir. Nothing to look back. Every day I found a small change in me. And today, yes, started with 19 tablets on the day I was in the hospital. Today I'm with 5. It's because of CPH. I'm thankful again, sir. I'm very much happy I was part of here. If not here, I don't know whether I was—
Have you tried anything before, like apart from allopathy, and you have been going to different doctors, or like what were you doing before?
I have visited a number of doctors. But other than doctors, I didn't go anywhere else. Because all the days, whatever happened, I was not being treated in the district hospitals.
Okay.
They never encouraged me to come into the hospital because of the problem. I used to blood vomit. All my eyes were swollen. So they thought if something major happens, The reputation of the hospital will go down. So they didn't encourage me. That is why from my hometown I came back to Hyderabad for my work. City. So in cities also, sir, without telling my problem, if I join a company, they would kick me out within span of months after knowing my problem. So everything was like that.
So during that time, uh, so like, then who advised you to go for this? Or like, you just—
no one advised. And my mother was telling me very constantly when I was with her. I lost my mother, but when she was there, she was telling me, she was guiding me to practice yoga. That will help you. I purely rejected that. I mean, I was never a person who concentrates on yoga or something. So after I lost my mother, after all this problem, when doctors said this thing, that heart was not functioning properly, when suddenly a thing popped up, I thought my mother sent someone to help me. So then I thought I should try.
That is how you also mentioned within 3 months you have seen a lot of changes.
3 months, sir? I am telling you, sir, it's 3 weeks.
Okay. Yeah.
I was admitted in the hospital on March 12th. 3 weeks constant, I was totally dependent on the practices what you have taught us. In and out, whatever you say, I would have done that. Within a span of 3 weeks, I have— my weight was reduced by 2-3 kilos. My heart rate, it reduced totally, sir. It was somewhere around 108-109. It reduced to 98-95. I was very much happy. There are a lot, I mean, almost like 8-9 changes I've seen in 20 days maximum. Wow. 3 weeks. Yeah. And then immediately, as I said, I mean, I had been to the doctor. Doctor was surprised. And they said, if I am getting that much of possibilities of recovering, you should teach someone who is having the same problem. That is when I thought of joining your Breathwork Coach certification course. I started doing that. After doing that, they were having some help with me by teaching your thing. But then immediately after that, I have joined Diamond membership. After joining Diamond membership, I can directly tell you that my doctor, who is my doctor since last 6-7 years, She mentioned that you made my day only by seeing the reports. There is no single blood report which says that I have some problem except my hemoglobin. Hemoglobin was 25, now it's reduced to 23. That is a major difference again. But other than that, my cholesterol, my BP, my sugar, everything was neutral. And she was shocked. And she said to repeat the test. Then I again went to Apollo, did my second test. The reports came the same. She was happy, I was happy, my family is happy, everyone are happy.
Yes, sir. So when you are having these health challenges and all, so how did it impact your relationships or personal life?
Sir, as my kids are very small, Whenever if school people or school friends ask, what's your daddy, what does he do? What would they say? They would say, I mean, my father is not feeling well, he's sitting in the house. Once my son came to me and said the same to me, why are you in the house? I cannot answer that. I cannot say that I am not good, I am not happy, I am not healthy. That, that was feeling me. I mean, I was helpless. I thought I should do something, I should do something. But whatever I do, it is only a span of months. After some months, again I'm back to home. So there was a lot of things. My wife is very good support to me, but even that, in that case, uh, continuously getting this many problems, even she she— her patience level also will reduce. So it was there, struggles was there. She supported me, everyone supported me.
Now are they happy?
Now they are completely happy, sir. Now, now they are happy. Got it.
And also, apart from physical changes, like whatever you have said, your BP, cholesterol, and all of this, so what are the changes have you seen in mental and emotional level?
Uh, sir, I'm happy for myself. Things are like, I mean, to-do list is very big, but I am happy for what I am, for my health. Whatever the restrictions is there, I am restricted to that, but I might not reach my goal very fast, but surely I'll reach. I have that confidence in me now.
Wow, yeah, very good. So you also mentioned that you can able to overcome all these challenges.
Yes.
Can you please break it down, like what are the things have you implemented, especially first 3 weeks or after that?
Uh, sir, I mean, for this I would say, uh, morning exercises, breathing exercises, and then pranayama, and my, uh, what do you say, eating habits. Finish my dinner by 7, affirmations, and then talking something good for with kids, telling positivity. Combine all the things and just think what I have done good to everyone, or one person who was happy because of me. This was the thing I was recollecting and be happy. For myself. That made a big change in me. We, we, we all together, the family, has seen a lot of difference in this. I am happy, sir. We are happy today. Got it.
So Abhishek, like, from being a banker, yeah, and so now like you had many health issues and you were able to overcome all of those.
Yes.
So what is your vision for your life now, sir?
I Actually, I have started my vision, sir. The inspiration was come from you only, that is to heal others. I, I don't say that I'm a healer, but I would give the ample information what I had got from you and, uh, try to, uh, do the best to recollect their problems what they are facing and believe Believing in what the miracle is going to happen in their life will definitely change the entire system what they're facing. It'll be a super life after practicing whatever CBH is teaching or the community is teaching us.
Have you taught to anyone?
Yes, sir. So from the very first month I've started my teaching, sir.
Okay.
And Now I have 5 people who has paid me ₹5,000 per student and ₹2,000 for 1 month. I have 2 students. Yeah, either— I mean, I'm happy in such a way that I receive money, not— I'm not unemployed, and I'm getting my source of income by teaching. And I'm happy teaching others because there is some positivity, or I am helping others to recover from their problems. So that is making me also to gain a lot of positivity. So helping me a lot.
Wow, wow, super inspiring, Abhijit. And, um, so there are many working professionals, many people are going through the health challenges, right? So, so what is your advice for them? Like, because they only depend on allopathy. Yes, that's okay. Like, it's not wrong Like it's for emergency purpose. Yes, as you all know.
Yes.
So what is your advice for them, like, who are only looking towards allopathy and waiting for the transformation?
Uh, sir, according to me, stress is major impact, what nowadays is very common with all the employees. What I say, sir, spend for what you become good, where your health improves, and concentrate on your breathing so that there will be no need of taking tablets. If it comes to my case, when I, when I am able to control my tablets to 5 from 19, everyone can do the same.
Exactly.
Only by the help of giving some importance to ourselves. Important to what we do every day, day in, day out. We practice those things. And yeah, as you said, sir, medicines are important only in the emergency, but we can avoid medicines, take medicines for some time, practice this whole thing to minus your medicines. I, I mean, according to me, what doctor says is I can still reduce my medicines to 3. But 3 is the minimum to take for lifelong. But I am still waiting for my 2 medicines to be reduced. That will be done. I have that guarantee. So even in other cases, they should try and then they should at least get a chance, give a chance for themselves to recover naturally.
Wow, great, Abhijit. So if you look back, like, from the day you joined, so how do you feel about yourself, the kind of person you have become?
Sir, I'm totally a different person. Yeah, uh, the other side of a coin. I was totally always thinking about what will happen tomorrow, what might have happened tonight, will there be any problem. There were several questions in me throughout the day. It was always hitting me. When I started the very first day in my Silver membership, every day one thought would reduce. Finally, today when I'm answering you, I'm just thinking, what is the problem I have? I don't have any problem. So that situation has come because I am into your practice, so whatever the problem I am having, yeah, but I am unable to tell it because I, I know that I can make my problem zero. Yeah, so yeah, it is very, uh, what do you say, powerful things.
It's powerful, like they need to try even the other elements, like other aspects also. It's not only depending on one thing. Yeah, it's lifestyle. Your lifestyle plays a very, very important—
yes, sir.
So what are the changes have you applied in your lifestyle?
So as I said, the major changes is my food retention habits. I finished my dinner by 7, maximum by 7:30, and I have read— I mean, zeroed my milk, that thing, a whole whites I have reduced. I mean, not reduced, totally eliminated. Yeah, totally stopped. And then morning I have this breathing exercises continuously. In our Diamond membership we have morning yoga classes. So I do that. Apart from that, I do my— I give my classes for half an hour, 40 minutes. That is going on. So for 1, 1.5 hours I'll finish these things, and immediately after that I, I'll go through some books and everything. If something is very good, I'll continue it till afternoon. I'm only having 2 meals now. Morning, 9:30-10, and by evening, 7 o'clock. I'm not having my lunch. Skipped my lunch. It's good. I've reduced my weight from 82 to 72 today. Today my weight is 72. I have lost 10 kilos in 6 months. Wow. And this shirt is my wedding shirt, 13-year-old shirt. Today I wore it because I felt this is the place where this should be again seen in my body. So yeah, I have changed in many ways.
So yeah, God is object. Like, um, so what is the— like, so you said that like you stopped working because of your health reasons, but during that time, like, um, so you have invested on diamond also? Yes, right. So many people, they are working and they say like they don't have enough funds to be part of this. So what really inspired you, even despite of being in that situation? How did you manage that?
Uh, so even for silver membership, I was not having money. But not for silver membership, but with healer certification, I was not having money. But when my doctor said you should try healing others, that gave me an impact. That after you saying that I can teach others and get money, that gave me a motivation of teaching others and get money. Immediately after that, when I was planning to purchase my Diamond Membership for lifelong, you said for Yoga Day, I was not having a single rupee, sir, and I am a person whom I don't ask money. So I called my cousin who was in USA, who is in USA. Called him, I said, my health is like this, I am going through this, got this much benefit, and there is some amount to be paid to them. So I need some amount. I received from him. Immediately he said, don't think about anything, you just pay and do the practices. You get well soon so that you earn after what whatever it is after you get well. So I had struggles getting money. I thought of not asking anyone. I thought of changing in my— I mean, somewhere getting outside for interest or something.
Yeah.
And then I thought, let's try. There is nothing wrong in asking. I had a try and it was—
Is it worth?
It is good, sir. I don't have words for that. Yeah, that investment, I again say, sir, I still remember that spending something for yourself is very good rather than spending a rupee for others. You said this thing in the class, spending for other things like buying a TV or anything, even 1 rupee. Yeah, if I need to impress someone or my son, I give him something and ask him to buy. Rather, I never thought of investing on me. My— not shirts or pants, but investing on my health I never done. Pay a doctor, take medicines, pay for medicines, and never I got changes. But when investing on myself in Diamond Membership, I had all the changes in this.
Absolutely. How much have you invested for your medical expenses and hospitals?
Uh, sir, probably 70 lakhs.
70 lakhs.
But still you didn't get the rate? I, I mean, I don't know, it's my fate, sir. I lost my wife. My son was a premature baby. He was born 980 grams. He was born in 21 weeks. He was in the hospital. I was in the hospital. I lost my wife. And I'm here. I married again. We are happy now with, uh, with aspects of CBH.
So though everything— this is all thing like you went through a lot of things in your life, but you still regained your life back.
Yes, yes.
So super, super inspiring, Abhijit. And what advice would you like to give to others whoever is watching this? Uh, final message.
The only advice what I want to tell you all is invest in yourself. Join Diamond Members or Diamond Membership Course. It is worth every penny in it. Will always find your health habits and recover from your diseases. I would suggest this thing to all the community members and whoever it is. If they are— I mean, I don't say directly invest diamond, but at least you try breathing. Try breathing. Yeah, try it in silver. You'll get the confidence.
Some people are still thinking in watching the videos only, like not even joined the workshop.
Sir, I have seen, sir, I have— I was doing some mentorship also. Uh, no one knows where, what it is. Only when exploring, if they can explore the mobile They can also do that, the same thing in our app, but they don't try to do it. They are always dependent. You should, all should do this. Explore the app, what you have, and gain the knowledge. It's more easy. Yeah. And if you gain the knowledge in that way, you'll never forget.
Yeah, true. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So thank you. Thank you so much, Avijit, for inspiring all of us.
I'm really thankful for you, sir. You made my day. You made my life. I am always thankful for you, sir.
Thank you, thank you, Abhijit. Super inspiring. More power to you.
Thank you.
