In this interview, host Dee welcomes Shobha, a 65‑year‑old woman from Sulaya, Dakshina Kannada, who shares how she reversed her type‑2 diabetes and improved overall health through the Dynaz Fitness (DFC) community and its Quantum membership. Shobha explains her affluent family background—her in‑laws run a multi‑disciplinary educational group (KVG) that includes engineering, medical, and Ayurvedic colleges—and why she sought a mentor despite having resources. After discovering Dee’s Facebook presence, she enrolled first in a Silver DFC program, then quickly upgraded to the Quantum tier because of Dee’s “mesmerizing” voice and perceived mentorship. She describes adopting mind‑programming practices—affirmations, visualizations, and meditation—combined with mindful eating and regular aerobics, which helped her drop from 59 kg to 52 kg, lower her HbA1c to below 6, and eventually stop diabetes medication (with doctor’s eventual approval). Shobha also recounts overcoming a three‑month back‑pain episode, learning specific back‑and‑neck exercises, and disproving age‑related myths that seniors shouldn’t do aerobics. The Quantum membership boosted her confidence, prompting her to take on financial responsibilities and administrative roles in her family’s institutions, fostering a sense of independence and respect. She highlights a recent retreat where she danced, spoke publicly, and gained clarity that reignited her involvement in the family business. Throughout, Shobha emphasizes the community’s supportive atmosphere, word‑of‑mouth promotion, and her belief that DFC and Quantum are “always a gain.” Dee concludes by urging viewers to stay inspired and consider the program.

Welcome back to this YouTube channel, and I really look forward to inspiring you And I have an amazing, amazing young lady on our show who's going to actually tell you how she has not only reversed her diabetes, but how she has reprogrammed her mind despite having an amazingly busy schedule. So welcome on our show, Shobha. Deep gratitude to you for accepting this invitation to be part of these inspirational stories that we have for people so that their belief systems changes, la, just like the way you do. So Shobha, tell our viewers, where are you from?
Deep gratitude, Dee, first of all. Yeah, I'm really thankful to you for bringing so much of changes in me. First of all, I'm from Sulaya. It's a small town in Dakshina Kannada, that is South Kannada. It is just 1 hour away from that Madikeri, Coorg, and 2 hours from Bangalore. So we live in a small town with like, uh, basically we have few institutions, our businesses. My father-in-law started with one institution when I married. When I got married and came to this town, we just had one institution. Then slowly over the years, we have, uh, we have almost so many, many institutions including engineering then Polytechnic College, then ITI, Ayurveda, Dental College, Medical College.
Show them your note. Show them.
Yes, yeah, it is only the academy under the Academy of Liberal Education. So we have the KVG, it comes under the brand name KVG. All the institutions start with the name KVG.
Fantastic. And what brought you— you come from a very affluent home, and there would be, you know, you can hire many personal trainers, you can— the world is yours. But what brought you to a community like the Dynaz Fitness community? Why did you join the Dynaz Fitness community?
Dynaz, I can say I was looking for some kind of mentor who who would be suitable for my, uh, my attitude and my this thing. So I was looking, and when I was just going through the Facebook, you were just repeatedly coming over there. So somehow you attracted me, and I just pressed on it. First attended the— not even the— just one session somewhere. Then I immediately enrolled myself as Silver. And within 10 days, first week I was busy with some other functions. So other 3-4 days when Heral contacted me and asking me why I didn't further this thing, I hadn't come to my notice. Suddenly then after that, yes, I have to think about it seriously, I thought. And I said I want the best, and I jumped into Quantum because I told her frankly, you are— especially your voice is very mesmerizing for me. Hypnotical, I can say. I was just attracted towards you and I entered into quantum. Probably I'm happy having come into quantum with your close proximity. I have developed a lot of confidence. I just came to this DFC for primarily for fitness and my medical two conditions, diabetes and blood pressure. Diabetes, recently I had I got it. That's it. So, but soon I could, like, my fitness was not at all a problem then. I thought because I'm 65, now 65, I was 64, so 65, I have to be kept myself, I have to keep myself mobile. So that's the reason why I joined. So then Probably your mind programming. I was never aware of these mind programmings or affirmations or visualizations. Maybe in a way I was doing it in a rough manner, but I wasn't properly aware of these techniques. So once you taught me these, you put me into these kind of positive-minded techniques, it helped me a lot. I mind— my mind programming was such that I wanted from 59 kgs when I entered DFC, I wanted to come down to 52. But then after reaching 53, I wanted to stop at it, but automatically it went— came down to 52. That's really great. I don't know, no more I want to reduce now. But on the other hand, because of my mindful eating and proper eating habits, I could bring down my HbA1c level to below 6. So I was on that always, like, with the medications. The doctor was not allowing me to leave the medications, but slowly, slowly, probably now recently, since a month, I am without my doctor's knowledge. I have stopped it, just going through my this thing. It's always— I keep checking morning afternoon and night, it's under control. So I have to— then next I have to ask with— I ask his permission. That's it. So I can say almost I've reached— I can— I'm better in eating habits also. But I do exercise. You have to— like, we have to stick on to our exercises. Then even there's affirmations, visualizations. I'm very consistent. I can say that even I was not aware of this, like consistency was a big problem for me. I used to start some kind of yoga but stop in between, and that procrastination also was there. But everything I could get over. Probably you are a big motivator, I can say, and you're an inspiration. Thank you.
And I want you to tell us that a lot of people are under the impression that at the age of 65, they should not be doing aerobics, they should not be doing exercise. A lot of your own friends told you this. Okay. How did you feel?
Were—
when you came in, and now, do you feel that the exercises are safe for your body?
Now, one time I had a very bad backache. I was— it took me around 3 months to, in fact, to a proper walking mode. I was always lying, taking rest for about a month or two, lying on the mat also. But I was attending this physiotherapy, everything I was taking, it's part of this. I was not able to. Then slowly and steadily, some kind of back exercises, I was able to come to one level. So I was looking out for a proper mentor. That's how when I got it, then that backache still was there, and it had the— I had that fear, a lot of fear, where it would make me like, uh, it would curtail my mobility. Soon after joining DFC, I started with fear only. I started the exercises, your aerobics And I've fallen in love for aerobics. I keep on advertising now. Everybody I talk to them, say, I tell them, see, for our age, or even the other, even youngsters, I feel that now after seeing so many youngsters in our DFC. So I feel this is the best because I always tell them DFC because I've really got rid of my backache and even other aches and pains. I had some neck pain, I've got rid of it. And anywhere due to too much of traveling or something, when I get my neck pain or little backache, I do your backache exercises and the neck exercises, which really relieves me within 2 to 3 days. It really works like a magic. I'm very happy, and I made my friend also join for this, and other 2 members also.
And your daughter?
My daughter, I can see so many, so many changes in her, but still she needs time. So I have no— I'm not forcing anything on her. I'm not having any opinion about anything. I have left to herself. But I'm really advertising— rather, I can say everybody, a word of mouth, telling them to join this. This is better than any other exercise.
Tell us, how did Quantum membership change you?
The Quantum membership, I did not know what it was. Only I just jumped into it because learning that you will be close to us, only your proximity led me to join Quantum. After joining this, then slowly more of masterminds, and you are like something I felt a strong pillar is behind me. For anything, I could rely on you. So that belief itself gave me the strength, and I started like my— I can say it was a real transformative one. And I started slowly climbing my stairs. Like, I never had given thoughts to money because my husband and other family, they used to take care of the finances, and I was not bothered about that, but now that urge in me inside, which was probably deep down, has come up saying, no, I have to have my own money to become financially independent. Now I'm doing really concentrating even on that part, doing well, and, uh, and I'm getting more, uh, some kind of, uh, the thing, uh, the respect, all that. Probably, see, I never imagined all those would give me the respect. Now I'm, uh, really, I have even after this, my other financial, this thing also I'm taking care. And I've started involving myself in the institutions more, in the administration side. And I was, I had that fear I may not be able to do, though I had the capacity. I was thinking like I will not be able to do it. So now I have the confidence. I— certain parts, especially these admissions and, uh, some of the things, like, it's been completely left to my care. They have the confidence now, so I take care of it. And I'm— and I'm practice your affirmations and visualizations, even meditations, when I become this thing. And I feel I can achieve the end result with these techniques. It's really great. And your proximity, you have a kind of aura which you have built around us, and even my group members, we are all each other, we motivate when we go down.
So, and last not the least, tell us, how was your experience of the retreat?
It was a wonderful experience, Dee. And seeing the bubble bubbling, that enthusiasm in you changed even my attitude. That was the first time I danced on a stage. I danced there, I could get along with everybody, I spoke, and I got the clarity of my thoughts. There. Because I had left my family business, rather than running the institutions, I had given— I had sidelined it. Thought they will continue, why should I bother so much? A little bit I was involving, but you gave me the clarity, like wherever what we have, we have to bring it up. So from then onwards, more with more clarity and with more confidence, I have become more vibrant, I can say that.
Fantastic. And that is showing on your face. And Shobha, I really want to express my deep gratitude to you. You did not have to come on the show as— and inspire the people, but really and truly, thank you so much for joining me on this mission so that other women, other men who are running educational institutions, people who have diabetes, people who believe that age is— their age is crossed and they should not be living their life— this is a true story of inspiring other people. And those of you who are watching here, I want each and every one of you to stay inspired, because the best is yet to come in your life. Once—
definitely, I encourage everybody to join DFC and then even join the Quantum membership, because it's never a loss, it's always a gain to everybody. And deep gratitude to you.
