She signed up to lose weight. She ended up getting her life back.

A 60+ retired banker came to us with a simple request:
“I want to lose weight.”

On paper, it looked like a standard case.
In reality, she was not stepping out of her house for weeks.
Empty nest.
Long, quiet days.
Very little movement. Very few conversations.

The extra kilos were real.
But they were a symptom.
The root problem was loneliness and a life that had slowly shrunk.

So we modified the plan.

Instead of a “diet-only” approach, we built a 3-track journey:

1. Nutrition (Shivani):
Simple, structured meals and fixed timings to stabilise her day.

2. Movement (Tanushree):
1:1 online fitness sessions. Very small, safe steps to rebuild strength and confidence.

3. Mindset (me):
Tiny behavioural goals to step outside, reconnect with interests, meet people, and rebuild identity after loss.

No 30-day miracle.
Just patient, adaptive work over 6 months.

Month 1: Regular meals. Gentle movement. First short walks outside.
Month 3: Better stamina. Interest in home oil making, acupressure, and yoga.
Month 6: Friends’ meet-ups. Social outings. A calendar that actually looked full.

This week, when we asked for one hour to close the program formally, she replied:
She shared that she had come out of her depression and was now busy and active.

She genuinely struggled to find a free slot to talk.
That is the best “problem” we can have as a team at IntuiWell.

Most people come to us with a clear goal: weight, sugar, or sleep.
Very often, the real work is somewhere else: grief, identity, burnout, or loneliness.

Tools are important.
But adaptability is everything.

We don’t force people into a fixed program.
We let the program evolve around the person.

If you see yourself, your parent, or your spouse in this story and want help, send me a DM.

We can talk and see if a similar integrated journey makes sense for you.
Because sometimes, you don’t just need a new plan.
You need a new life to grow into.
