I have been in the healthcare industry for many many years. Started my career with nursing and then shifted to revenue cycle management of hospitals. My current job takes at least 9 hours every day just sitting in front of the computer. I love to cook, and I am a foodie, and, as a result, weight gain has been a big problem. I gained about 35 lbs in the last 20 years (post pregnancy, my son is 20 year old). Being a nurse, I have always been cautious about the health of my family but did not realize that while taking care of others, I was not taking good care of my own health. I came across one of Archana's videos on FB, which was very appealing to me. I knew that even though I understood medicine and know the physiology stuff, I needed someone to guide me (without any protein shakes/pre-packaged processed foods/meds) with my diet and lifestyle. My first consultation with Archana was very convincing and I knew that I wanted to try this as she confirmed that there will not be any short cuts with protein shakes/pre packaged meals/processed foods. After joining the program, initially, I was a bit apprehensive, but I did not face much of a challenge following Archana's guidance. I always felt that I was in safe hands and Archana was always been there for any questions. After many, many years, I saw my weight and measurements going down. I lost 24 lbs and quite a few inches. I am still on this journey and cannot imagine going back to my previous lifestyle. This program really works. I have almost zero sweet cravings now, and I have started recognizing what my body "does like" and "does not like" in terms of food. I am now enjoying healthy cooking every day which is loved by my family and realizing how small lifestyle changes can have a huge positive impact. I am so glad that I got connected with Archana, and I am loving this journey towards better health every day! Thank you Archana, you are a lifesaver!

Every now and then, someone enters your life and changes it in ways you didn't think were imaginable, and I can say, Archana, you're one of them. I tried almost every diet and workout. But for sure something was not correct, and I was not able to figure out. That's when you came and taught me how to eat wholesome food with a sustainable lifestyle along with some spiritual guidance. I must say the scale which never moved for more than a year finally moved. Now, the weight is just a number. The passion, empathy and kindness that you showed me has truly been inspirational. You're an amazing coach and a friend to treasure.

Archana has been my well-being coach for almost half a year. My experience with her has been profound. She is committed and very knowledgeable about nutrition and natural cures. More importantly, she is very empathetic, professionally qualified, and great at listening. She addressed my concerns in a manner that offered simple, actionable solutions that brought about the expected changes. She values healthy collaboration and makes the journey exciting and meaningful for both of us. I’m very happy to have her as my well-being coach and strongly recommend her.

This has been a great journey with you. Your program has changed my mindset about health and food. It was definitely an eye opener for me. This was my first ever diet program. I always wanted to choose such a program which is more close to nature and which can heal our bodies naturally and not by any drinks or medicines. My belief always was that we are nature and should treat ourselves naturally as much as possible. With the growing age our body shows a lot of changes both physically and health-wise. I started realizing that now the time is coming we have to make certain changes in our lifestyle to make better choices. Although the changes felt challenging initially, it did not last long because this program does not stop us from eating. That is very important. The restriction is on what to eat and not how much to eat. For me, that is the best part of the program. As humans, food is our fuel and we cannot live without it. Your program has given me all that insight, not just about the food but the overall change in our mindset on how we see and treat our body. Another best part of this whole program was that it's not just me who has benefited but everyone around me , my family , my friends who saw the changes in me and got motivated. It's benefiting everyone around me. Lifestyle is a daily struggle which continues until we live but your program has certainly reduced that struggle to a great extent for me and it has given me a lot of confidence and belief that things can be changed. Thank you so much for all your guidance and help to make us better people. I would really like to stay connected and keep sharing my experiences with you.
Seema
When I joined this program, I had become the heaviest I have ever been. I was looking at pictures from our summer family holiday and my brother’s 50th birthday at Thanksgiving. The body and overall demeanor was not the person I wanted to be physically or emotionally. In the past 2 years, I have tried various online coaches and diets in the last 2 years but nothing stuck. I came across Archana and her program on Facebook and after talking to her, I felt reassured that she could help guide me in the right direction. After 12 weeks, I am 23.5 pounds lighter, and I feel more confident, happier and lighter physically and emotionally. I am back to the same weight I was 20 years ago when I was in graduate school, and I have become just as energetic as I was back then. Archana helped me discover the food and nutrition best suited for me. I found workouts I enjoy that help relieve my stress. One of the best things about working with Archana is she supports you and helps you find what works best for you and find alternatives. I started in early December and was concerned if I should start after the New Year because I was visiting my parents and had family visiting from India. But she encouraged me to start and helped me navigate those challenges. What helped me get the most out of this program was being held accountable. I was diligent in journaling my meals and holding to the fast. It forced me to be disciplined. The accountability, Archana’s encouragement and my own personal motivation helped me go beyond my original weight goals and hopefully put me on a path to a new lifestyle. Thank you! You are a life changer!

“Soulfully Healthy” - when this popped up on my Facebook page, I got curious and signed up for the free session with Archana. I wasn’t really looking for a weight loss program, but losing a few pounds and getting better at my overall health were on my mind. Talking to Archana was so easy - just like talking to a friend! She explained how everything was interconnected. She explained how the program was different. Intermittent fasting was hard for a couple of days, but I got used to it. No processed foods, supplements and working out for hours!! I could experiment different recipes with the plan. Just walking 30mins every day as a workout did the magic! I now know my body so well - what works and what doesn’t! I sleep well and have more energy. I lost close to 20lbs and am very happy with this program. Thanks Archana!
Smruti
I decided to go with Metabolic reset program after listening to Archana speak about it. I needed some motivation to get me started. It wasn't only about weight loss for me, it was about "feeling" healthy and elevate mood, getting better sleep. Within weeks of starting the program, I was able to sleep through the night, felt more energy than I have felt in years and was able to do more in a day than before. I have already completed the program but the self-realization this program brings is amazing! I now know which foods cause bloating, how ACV works for me and which carbs negatively impact my mood. I will continue to keep following the aspects of healthy eating that I have learnt with this program. I cannot thank Archana enough for keeping me motivated when I was low and to introducing me to this program! It has changed my life for the better!
Rebecca
Archana has been an excellent health coach, patiently working with me, and encouraging me towards realizing my health goals. The resources she pointed me to were very helpful and I appreciate her taking the time to find ones that were specific to my needs. I found her approach of recommending small changes to daily habits super easy to do and highly effective.
Arpita
Do this for yourself!! If you haven't tried a structured program before like me, then this is the one to try. Science of the program aside, Archana's approach to working with you personally and what drives and challenges you is what makes the difference.
Aparna
The first week went by - and I was not even exercising - and I had lost 4-5 lbs ….. that was encouraging. What I really noticed was that I was feeling more energetic, no midday energy slumps, no feeling lethargic after eating the meal.
Tejal
This program empowered me with a wealth of knowledge about food and its impact on my body. It helped to establish good eating habits, which in turn helped to shed pounds that I felt tough to reduce without compromising my energy. I would definitely recommend this program for those looking to take charge of their health and body. Remember health is the new wealth, so what are you waiting for? Archana was just amazing, knowledgeable and provided all the guidance and support needed throughout this journey, leading to a healthy lifestyle. Forever grateful.
Ruhi
It's by God's grace I met Archana. I was fraught with lot of frustration that I had gained so much weight due to work stress and couldn't seem to lose it. Within 6 weeks of starting the program, I went down from 196 to 176 pounds. Interestingly, I got pregnant at the end of the 4th week. This is my second pregnancy, and it's been much easier than my first. I have had no nausea at all! I actually don't even crave bad foods! Even though I am 5-6 months, I am still not showing! I love the community that Archana has created, and her weekly calls are a great way to connect with a great women tribe and feel supported! Also, she shares very helpful tips every week on the latest developments in nutrition world! She is truly very heartful and connects with you and understands your situation. Another wonderful thing I felt about her was she truly wants to share this knowledge with everyone to make it a better planet! She encourages you to follow the same for your family members!
Narayani
When I came across the metabolic reset program, I was very skeptical to say the least. I had tried different things and nothing seem to be working and I was wondering is it worth to put my time, effort and money towards this program. But I am glad I put my skepticism aside and went ahead with the program. Archana has been wonderful, patient and a steady guiding light through this journey. The best part of the program is - I was still eating the foods that I thought was making me gain weight and was losing weight. Initial few days were difficult, but with Archana's constant support, it was easy to navigate. By the end of the program, my body craves for healthy food. Thanks Archana for the gift of eating healthy and leading a healthy lifestyle.
Tulasi
I wanted to work with a health coach primarily to understand how I can help improve the health of my two young children, and to get back to living a healthy lifestyle myself. I chose to work with Archana because of her passion to live a healthy life that still allows you to enjoy life and all it has to offer. The most helpful part of working with her was being held accountable, but in a non-judgmental and caring way. This helped me to not feel guilty and like a failure. She helped me focus on the positive and emphasized my accomplishments, even when I didn’t feel there were any. During the one year that I worked with Archana, I was able to help reduce my 6-month-old daughter's eczema, substitute some of our go-to gluten heavy foods with healthy/tasty alternatives, reduce inflammation in my body, and start to work on my emotional health. Working with Archana changed my thinking to stay positive and make realistic changes that will help me achieve my goals in the long-term.
Uma
I always used to think that diet plans mean starving, and I never believed in them as they are not typically sustainable in the long run. However, when I met with Archana and went through the details of Metabolic Reset program (BTW, I was totally amazed by her passion towards and knowledge of nutrition and natural cures/remedies), she made me realize it's not about cutting down the food intake, but eating the right food, in the right quantities at right times. So, I decided to give it a try and very soon I realized I was not only eating healthy, but was also feeling completely satiated. With regular check-ins, she was with me throughout the journey, which looked so simple and effortless, and constantly motivated me by sharing some simple tips and hacks to achieve my goals. Archana has been instrumental in changing my mindset towards healthy eating. I now feel confident to be able to stick with it, and more importantly, enjoy it, for years to come. Kudos to Archana!!!

Tressa
I recently completed the Metabolic Reset program with Archana. It was a great experience that taught me that we can accomplish anything we put our minds to. I have done many diets over the years, but lately, probably as I am now getting older, I found it more difficult. I noticed that some of my bloodwork had been getting worse and I have a significant family history of diabetes. My goal was to lose weight, reduce belly fat, and improve my bloodwork. The program certainly took a lot of commitment and time to prep all my meals. I thought it would be really hard to make meals taste good without certain ingredients, but Archana was very helpful in guiding me to make nutritious and delicious meals. The real benefit to the program is that you have a coach to keep you accountable, cheer you on, and help you overcome the plateaus along the way. I discovered that what you eat is the most important part of weight loss, much more important than exercise. I was able to achieve my goal weight and the best part was that my clothes fit me again. I feel anyone who is on the fence about doing this should just jump into this program that has been tried and tested. Over the past months afterward, I did gain back a little weight, but I know I have the tools that I learned to lose it again easily. It was well worth the effort.
Archana
I had been trying out various practices/ diets and not been happy about any with at best, partial insignifanct success. That's when I came across Archana’s video on social media and, to be honest, was still unsure when I signed up. But there was something that Archana said in my introductory call- ‘you need to follow it as honestly as possible and let the body do its work’ - that resonated with me. I did my best to follow that for 8 wks and have never been happier about the weight loss, as I have been now. While I may not have been obese by any means, I had gained close to 10lbs of stubborn weight (boy they were stubborn!) over the last 5-6 yrs and not only did I lose weight, I learnt to sustain and most importantly, convert to a much healthy eater. This program has made me more confident in myself, that I can prioritize myself, I can say ‘no’ to food that I don’t want to bite into, that I do not have to find ‘fun’ in just lavish eating or drinking. As I continued on this program, I saw a mindset change in me. I have begun to enjoy cooking food in different ways, incorporating more protein in my diet, still enjoy occasional sweets/ desserts like during Diwali, but no longer feel guilty. I will not be doing justice if I say that weight loss was my best take-away from this program; that is the only visible benefit. I have truly learnt to have a better relationship with food, learnt to cook healthier for myself and my family. Thank you, Archana!
Ritu
The Metabolic Reset program was a game changer for me. I have tried multiple programs, with nutritionists, mentors and what not!! Nothing helped or was sustainable. I started this program thinking - OK, let’s see this too. After a week, I was pleasantly surprised but not yet convinced that this could work for me. Halfway through the program, my weighing scale showed me numbers that I had seen after 15 years of trying everything. I am sleeping well and feeling well. The mood swings, the aches and pains are long gone. The regular yoga I do has become much better. My body now cooperates, and I am able to do stronger and deeper poses and it feels incredible. The best part of it is the support, guidance, and mentorship. Archana is there with you through it and after it. For her I was not just a client ,she was invested in my journey. Even towards the end of the program, she is trying to help me. I have done many programs, I was always a client, a business number. During her calls ,I never felt rushed. She was not looking at her clock and that my time was over. She hears you out and follows your journal. When I failed in other programs, the mentors did not trust my discipline and felt I was cutting corners. Archana always believed in me and helped me if something was not working. She truly believes everybody is different, and this was the biggest thing for me, bringing back my confidence in my body and trusting myself . She truly empowered me in many ways. I am grateful and blessed that our paths crossed. Thank you!
Vandana
After trying all possible weight loss plans and often losing weight but only to gain it back once the program was over, I was not sure if I wanted to try another plan to meet my desired weight goal. But at the persuasion of a friend, I joined the Metabolic reset program with Archana. And I am really glad that I did! Right from Day 1, Archana emphasized that this was not a just a weight loss plan, but it was a program that will guide us to achieve our health and wellness goals (with a positive side effect of achieving your weight goals as well). Being a vegetarian, I always had a challenge to get the right nutrition at times, but Archana guided me with so many meal options that were delicious as well as complete in nutrition. Her practical tips and tailored strategies were invaluable in transforming my lifestyle for the better. I really appreciated the personalized attention she provided throughout my journey. Beyond the knowledge and expertise, Archana has been an outstanding accountability partner. Her consistent follow-ups and check-ins kept me on track. Her positive reinforcement kept me motivated when I faced challenges. Her encouragement and belief in me were the driving force behind my progress. Archana has a genuine passion for helping others achieve their health and wellness goals, which is truly inspiring. Her coaching philosophy that “Health is a journey, not a destination!” has helped me change my lifestyle with better choices rather than just focusing on weight loss. With a result that for the first time, I have not only lost excess weight, but have been able to maintain the weight at my desired goal. Thank you Archana, for guiding me to implement positive lifestyle changes and in my overall health journey.

When I reached out to Archana and spoke to her, it was not my first time trying out a diet program. Each one helped me shed a few pounds and learn some habits on my way. I had similar expectations for this one, except it was more expensive than what I had paid in the past. Something that stuck with me and made me go ahead with the program was Archana saying "If the previous diet programs worked, you would not have come here"!! Bang on...I was ready to cut the cheque. From that day to today, about 4 months later as I write this, compliments don't stop... friends, family, and above all, my body keeps admiring and saying "Thank you for doing this". If Archana had claimed to be a lifestyle therapist and said she would make me a calmer person, give me better sleep and teach me good habits for a lifestyle, I would have called it BS. However, that is what the program did for me…weight loss was only a positive side effect :) 1:1 conversations with Archana and her ability to guide me through challenges helped manage my temptations, handle social and family situations and expectations around food, and navigate travel. I seem to understand my body better now and can make better choices. I love the way clothes fit and how I look in pictures. I feel like dressing up. I set the tone for my family. .a non-yelling Mom makes everyone happier, a carb-rich diet with sugar crashes made the evenings so much harder. Kids behave the same, but now I have so much more energy and patience to deal with them. Me eating healthier inspires others around me… a funny quote from a co-worker as I stood in a burger line - "I thought about Shikha and ate a salad", hahaha. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to develop healthier habits for a lifetime, lose weight and keep it off. Needless to say, Archana did not pay me or threaten me to write this. LOL!
Cyrena
I have always believed that the Universe sends the right person at the right time when you really intend for a purpose. I could say connecting with Archana was not coincidental at all. I was at that point in life where I had to make a decision to shake up things in life starting with my health. I had tried all kinds of diets, drinks, supplements, workouts for so many years, which either left me disappointed or with a short-lived effect. A day before I was planning to start dieting for the umpteenth time, I chanced upon seeing an ad about this program with Archana. Out of curiosity, I started to read about it, and found the facts she mentioned in it to make a lot more sense than the others I had been following. I knew at that very moment that 'THIS IS IT, MY GATEWAY TO A HEALTHY ME.' The rest is HISTORY. I saw the weighing scale move like it had never before. I felt a lot lighter and was transformed inside out by the end of the program. Archana was a big pillar of support, a person you could reach out to at any time. She is a kind-hearted, non-judgmental mentor who takes your health and well-being more seriously than you! I really hope the good work that she is doing reaches all the men and women who are in dire need of a health miracle in their lives!

Since 2007, I have suffered a lot of health issues one after another. I went through multiple surgeries and the last struggle came in the form of kidney cancer in 2013! I got through it, but started gaining a lot of weight. With a busy life and staying alone at home (my husband used to travel for work and kids were in college), I started eating junk food. I also suffer from Ulcerative Colitis, which is an autoimmune disease. I depended a lot on eating rice to keep my stomach stable. I tried going to the gym, but it did not help. I called people who advertise on Facebook regarding weight loss and they mentioned medications to reduce weight. I did not want to take any pills to reduce my weight. Then, by chance I saw Archana on Facebook and it got me thinking. Maybe being an Indian she will understand what I could and could not eat. I remember the first day when I spoke with Archana, she said, “Are you ready to go through this?”. I was very apprehensive, but decided to take the LEAP. And I have not regretted it! It has changed my life. I have lost almost 30lbs and feel good. My knees do not hurt (I had 3 prior surgeries). Archana has guided me throughout the last few months. She is very knowledgeable, not just from a perspective of dieting, but she takes a holistic view and offers advice on our overall being. Thank you, Archana! I would 100% recommend this program! If I can do it at 58, anyone can do it. Take one day at a time and you will see the result!

I am a wife and mother of 2 energetic kids. I joined Archana’s program in Sept 2023. I was going through Facebook and I came across her post. Without thinking much, I watched her video, which really made sense. I have tried so many different programs, joined a gym and spent so much money, but nothing helped. I have also tried intermittent fasting, but it never worked. I have gone through breast cancer (hormones) so, I had to take medicine for that, which made it really hard to lose weight. Also, I have a 9-year-old son who, shortly before I joined the program, said that Ba (his grandmother) has more energy than me. I had decided then I would lose this weight not to look good but just for my son. So, I took a leap of faith and joined Archana’s program. For the first time in my life, I saw my weight scale going down. All my pains and aches have gone. It was difficult for me to walk before without going out of breath, but now I am able to and I feel energetic. I have a better understanding of what works for me. Yes, the program incorporates intermittent fasting and it worked this time. Archana’s program is well-defined and organized. She has supported me throughout this program. I am vegetarian and the program has lots of options for that. Also, besides losing weight and inches, my skin has started glowing... people around me noticed that, especially when your 15-year-old daughter does, you know you are doing something right. I am a very picky eater, but Archana gave me tips that I am able to use. Thank you Archana, I wouldn’t have achieved all this without you. I had totally given up on myself, but you gave me hope and told me I can do it.

Archana’s Metabolic Reset Program is just that - a complete ‘reset’ of your mind, the way you think about food and most of all, your liver and your entire body. I have always been pretty mindful of what I eat and have been pretty good with exercise … however, in the last few years the pounds seemed to just add up and nothing seemed to help lose them. My middle seemed most affected - clothes seemed to fit pretty snug and I could just not even think of wearing a dress without shapewear under. Then one day I saw a post on social media from a friend - she mentioned a reset program she’s been doing which seemed to help her shed her stubborn pounds. I naturally got curious and reached out to her to know more. I then quickly reached out to Archana and made my initial appointment to discuss . Honestly, at first I thought this program was no different from what I was already doing, but then I thought I’d join and give it a shot. Archana’s program introduced me to intermittent fasting and also helped me be in better control of my body. The release phase helped to pretty much reset my liver to function better and release toxins - and with it the extra pounds. We are all conditioned to think we just need to eat 3 large meals everyday - this program showed me that we really don’t need to eat as much and yet be satiated. I had started this program in early December of last year and though I still have to get to the ‘goal’ weight I have in mind, I have maintained my newer leaner body and weight . The most important part is that I now feel in control of my body and have the tools to ‘reset’ whenever I indulge on holidays or vacations. My blood work is much better and I don’t have the acid redux I’d have on most days around late evening. Archana is very supportive and readily available to answer any questions, and the community support is great - from shared recipes to just supporting each other in our individual journeys! I’m glad I took the plunge to start on this program … cheers to better health!!!

I believe in divine guidance in my life, and joining Archana's program is a testament to that. Initially skeptical of social media ads, I finally engaged with the program when I was at my heaviest. Seeing an Indian face in the ad and learning about her authentic journey reassured me. Despite concerns about the cost initially, I soon realized this was a valuable investment in my and my family’s health. The program has taught me to eat right and lose weight without starving or medication. I've dropped 25lbs in three months, with a goal to lose another 15lbs, all while maintaining good health. Unlike past attempts where I gained weight back and lost essential nutrients, my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are now normal, and my knee pain has significantly reduced. I feel more energetic. Though the beginning was challenging, Archana's support made it manageable. The program is well-organized, providing clear guidance and tools, and the community support was invaluable. Archana constantly motivated me & was always available to answer any concerns or queries. I am very grateful to Archana for introducing me to this new world which led to my positive transformation. I highly recommend this program to anyone ready to take control of their health and life.

I was feeling quite desperate after gaining a lot of weight over the past three years due to work and other life changes. It really brought me down, especially when my clothes no longer fit. I tried a couple of diets, but nothing seemed to work. Then, I came across Archana's post on Facebook, and it changed everything. With a friend's wedding coming up in four weeks, I was determined to lose weight quickly. When I first spoke with Archana, I shared my goal of losing weight before the wedding. Her confidence in my ability to achieve this goal was inspiring. I joined her program on April 1st. There were times when I felt very frustrated due to fluctuations in my weight, but Archana consistently reminded me to trust my body. By the time the wedding came around, Archana assured me that I could enjoy the event while following some guidelines. I did have the occasional glass of wine but adhered to the rest of the guidelines and was thrilled to see that I actually lost weight. After the initial fluctuations, I consistently lost weight throughout the program. In total, I have lost 20 lbs, far exceeding my expectations. Archana has been incredibly supportive and available to answer any questions I had along the way. I am so glad her page popped up on my Facebook feed, and I took a chance on her program. It has truly been a life-changing experience.

I came across Archana's metabolic reset program through a Facebook ad. Having recently entered the 40s I was struggling with weight increase, lack of energy, lethargy and brain fog. The ad took me to a video presentation and made me wonder if this will actually work. I apprehensively made an appointment with Archana and decided to give this program a try, I followed the program guidelines to the tee and lo and behold, the scale started moving and within the first six weeks my weight was at a number I had not seen in the last 4 years! Today I continue to follow what I learnt from the program and have successfully kept the scale moving even further down. My energy levels have returned, I feel younger and a lot more enthusiastic about my entire life Archana is a great coach and mentor. She is always there to answer any questions and provide any form of support. I would recommend this program to anyone who is looking to create a positive impact for themselves and their health.
Sandhya
I have enjoyed working with Archana on my health journey. In addition to seeing some amazing results on the scale, I have built some great habits and skills to support my overall wellbeing. Archana is very responsive and coached me through this transformative journey. I highly recommend this program if you are interested in being your best healthy self. Thank you for everything you do!
Smita
This program is the real deal! It's for anyone who wants to get re-educated in the art of fueling your body, especially in such a crucial stage of life. The bonus is the knowledge and accountability that Archana gives you as a compassionate yet assertive coach.
Soumya
When I contacted Archana to inquire about the metabolic reset program, I was struggling to "get back on the wagon" of fitness and health. I was at a crossroads where I was not motivated to work out regularly because of personal issues and work pressure, but I was also not completely idle, and was eating reasonably healthy. However, I was gaining instead of losing weight and was at a point where I was almost the same weight as I was 7 years ago before starting my fitness journey. Meeting her and following the program was in itself a huge challenge, but she continued to guide and encourage me to keep persevering. I did see results, although I was not a 100% compliant. I now know that I can control what and how much I eat, and know exactly how to get back on track. I also know that I am stronger than I think I am, and can push my boundaries. That's what is empowering, especially at a peri-menopausal stage in life. Thank you Archana for believing in me when I didn't believe I could do it myself!

Signing up for this program was one of the best birthday gifts that I have given myself. I was going through a phase where I was reading a lot about gut health and following strategies that ‘influencers’ swore that changed their lives. But as you can imagine, nothing worked or were sustainable options . Enter Archana: she curated information that was ‘portion controlled ‘ making it easy to digest. ( had to use this pun) Week one was definitely hard but week two onwards made it feel like it was the most natural way to think about food and movement. My biggest outcome was changing the way my family’s plate looked and improving my sleep habits. The program is meant to be a sustainable lifestyle change and will help inform your future decisions regarding food which in turn leads to easy practices like meal prepping, shopping for healthier food alternatives ,eating according to your gut preferences ,food label awareness,sleeping well, handling social situations, traveling, etc. Five stars for the program and this is definitely the gift that keeps on giving.

I was that underweight kid all my life who could eat anything and never put on weight. I enjoyed the perks of that for a long time until I hit 40. And then I did not recognize my body anymore. Over the course of the pandemic, I put on about 20-25 lbs and was having a hard time getting it off. I tried a weight loss program last year which helped me effectively lose some weight but it just didn't stick as a lifestyle. I went back to my old habits. Having been skinny all my life, I was struggling to deal with this situation. I was not unhealthy by any means, but just uncomfortable the whole time and I would turn to food to make me feel better - the opposite of what I should've been doing! One day, I was browsing through Facebook one day and saw an ad for Archana's metabolism rejuvenation program. I was intrigued and went on to watch her introduction video. I found it very convincing and it somehow pushed me to set up a call with Archana. A week later, I was enrolled into the program. I lost a total of 12+ lbs in 6 weeks. The weight loss was just the most obvious gain from the program, the unseen benefits where a lot more! My sleep quality improved through the roof, my mind had never felt this clear, and I had immense energy all the time - no more afternoon slumps. I am deeply grateful to Archana for her support and encouragement through the entire period. For me, the biggest benefit from the program was my mind shift - I know exactly what my body likes and doesn't and I know exactly how to bring myself back into good habits when I go off the rails once in a while. This is really empowering because I am in control. I went on vacation 2 weeks ago and ate to my hearts content and gained some pounds. But I was not worried at all because I knew how to bounce back. I cannot thank Archana enough for getting me here. I highly recommend this program to everyone. All you need is solid determination and an open mind. The program will do the rest of the convincing. Good luck to everyone!

I've been on a weight loss journey for a few years, trying to figure out which workout works for me. I've tried intermittent fasting and different diets, but nothing stayed consistent, and my weight loss was very slow. I came across an ad for a wellness coach on Facebook and had a consulting call with Archana. She explained the diet program and how the phases would work. I had a lot of questions for her. Initially, I was skeptical about trying it, but I decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, it helped me lose weight and moved the weighing scale after many years of stagnation. I had tried various diets before, but none of them had a significant impact on my weight. However, with this program, I am now back to my pre-marriage weight. I lost almost 17 pounds and still continuing to lose more following healthy lifestyle. Archana was incredibly patient with all my questions. She is a positive and encouraging person, always guiding me in the right direction throughout the program. My husband also followed the same diet along with me, which not only helped him lose weight but also reduced his high blood pressure. As a family, this program has been an eye-opener, teaching us how to lead a healthier lifestyle.

I started the metabolic reset program when I felt stuck with my weight and eating habits. I was not able to break the cycle and see my body weight and eating patterns get better. The program not only enabled weight loss but more importantly, helped me take better control of my health and habits and break the rut I felt l was in. The very clear and scientific approach that this program takes helps you not only in the short term but also educates you about your long-term eating habits and exercise patterns. Archana is super helpful and easy to reach. Her passion about researching and constantly updating us about health related information is commendable. I also enjoyed the group calls though would have liked if I had more time for them. Archana, Thank you for all the support and motivation!

I had made many attempts to get into shape like I was 6-8 years ago, due to travels and many different life phases, I was unable to make much of a dent. I came across Soulfully Healthy with Archana and gave it a chance. The program and encouragement from Archana were great to help me stay focused, and the small changes that made me understand what inflammation in the body is and what foods cause it. This was something I wanted to sustain and not treat this like another diet fad or workout we get in and out of. What I can say is even with my routine of work and personal travels, I was able to keep focus and continue to get into better health than I have been in last 8 years. I feel more energetic, have more will power and even when I fall off track, I know how to get back on it! This journey will teach you self-discipline, determination, working through learnings. I am very thankful to Archana and her attitude to bring this community together.

In March 2024, I was at my heaviest and felt extremely low about myself and the way I looked. The weight gain made it exhausting to practice Bharatnatyam, a passion of mine, even for just 30 minutes. I am so grateful to have accidentally found your health coach program on Facebook. Normally, I avoid suggested posts, as many end up being clickbait, but I’m glad I trusted my instinct and took the plunge to join your program. I had tried numerous diets and exercises before, only to give up and regain the weight. But after joining your program, I realized what I was missing all along. You didn’t just provide a plan; you tailored everything to suit my lifestyle and needs, making the entire process feel manageable and even enjoyable. Your regular check-ins, motivational tips, and the way you celebrated every small victory with me kept me on track and focused. Having lost 20lbs, I now have tons of energy and feel super confident and good about myself. The knowledge and healthy habits I’ve gained during our time together are invaluable and will continue to guide me as I move forward. I genuinely appreciate the way you’ve transformed not only my body but also my mindset towards health and wellness. Thank you again for everything you’ve done. I couldn’t have done this without you! I will definitely recommend your program to family and friends!

Well, where do I begin…. I have a strong belief that certain things are destined and Archana walking into my life was destiny too! I am in biomedical field and love to read a lot of articles about health, and I was aware of most things that Archana talks about. I would say the accountability aspect was huge for me and the motivation that I got from her and other women in the group was phenomenal. I couldn’t have done it all alone. I go to work every day and pack my boxes mindfully and I have zero hiccups with following the schedule. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to shed a few pounds and soulfully get healthier. I lost 17 pounds so far in the program and my PCP was amazed by my health results, he even stopped my Triglyceride meds. I weigh my pre-pregnancy weight after a decade and feel great and compliments are pouring in from friends and colleagues. I thank Archana for all this, and I am blessed to have found her. I am a vegetarian, and this program can be perfectly tailored for anyone. Thank you 😊

This is the first program that has worked for me post - partum. Believe me, when I say, I have tried many.I had be trying to lose some weight for the past 5 years. And being over 40, all the tried and tested ways did not work for me any more. I loved Archana’s holistic approach , focus being on better health and energy and weight-loss , a pleasant outcome of that. I found the program very do-able and sustainable. This was key. Also, life happens. Gaining a few pounds here and there will happen , but this program has given me the tools and the confidence, that I can get back on track again. I have lost weight, but gained tons of energy and confidence.I am also in much better mood these days. :)

I absolutely love this program! It worked wonders for me. I was always hesitant to try anything new, but after trying other programs, I decided to give this one a shot. It's not just about losing weight or becoming thin; it's about adopting a mindset and living a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life. Thanks to Archana and the wonderful group of people who are part of it. I truly love it!

With her tailored approach, I’ve made lasting lifestyle changes that have significantly improved my overall well-being. Archana offers a perfect blend of encouragement and practical advice, making the entire journey enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend her to anyone ready to take their health to the next level!

Archana really helped me in losing weight which I never thought I can achieve. The program really works, and I lost 21 pounds in 6 weeks! She is very helpful and supportive. I learned that I can lose weight by eating right and not fasting. I am so grateful to Archana for making me reach my health goal. Got good information on food, exercise, supplements and much more. I believe everyone can benefit from this program to stay healthy.

I came across Soulfully Healthy with Archana on Facebook. Now, I'm not one to blindly follow things on social media and my minimal social media exposure doesn't help either. However, these posts kept catching my attention and I decided to take a look. Reading feedback from other women who were on the program piqued my interest and I reached out to Archana. What followed was a wonderful journey of discovery, self-awareness, body awareness, being able to listen to my body, and also how to train my mind. I saw (and felt) the transformation that my body went through during the first 6 weeks and was able to understand the science (you'll get to read a lot about the science that works in the background) behind the way my body was reacting to the way I was treating it. This was a very fulfilling journey - one thanks to the results I saw at the end of it, and second because Archana was the guiding star through all of it. The weekly group calls to share our wins and experiences with other women on the journey as well as the one-on-one time was so valuable and a huge motivating factor. There's also a facebook group where other women on the same journey share information, ask questions, share recipes - it's a great sense of community! The best part about Archana is, she takes the time to understand you, your expectations, your routine, habits, and general physical and mental health - and this happens on day 0 of the program. So you can rest assured she's charting out a customized plan for you and ensuring you benefit the most out of the program. The bonus for me was that she shared the same cultural upbringing and ate similar food. That meant she understood my likings and cravings towards certain traditional foods and was able to tailor my diet accordingly. She would sometimes suggest alternatives to certain foods that I had never tried before but would come to love as a great substitute for the food I love. This program was an eye opener for me! I've learned how to understand what my body needs vs what it wants and I'm able to plan my meals (even while on vacation) accordingly. It's heartening to know that even if I have an off day/week in my routine, I can always get back and my body will pick up where it left off. I completed the program knowing much more about my body, my mind, and how to listen to my body, how to decipher cravings, and how to follow a balanced and nutritious diet without starving myself or eating foods I don't like. It has been a big win for me and the best investment I made for myself this year! Thank you so much Archana!! I know you're going to touch the lives of many more women and help them through this journey of body, health, and mind positivity!

Archana has been an excellent health and wellness coach. She is very knowledgeable and realistic with her approach and worked with me and encouraged me towards realizing my health goals. The resources she has are very helpful and can be easily applied to our daily lives. I found her approach of making small changes to daily habits super easy to do and highly effective. I also like the idea that if we fell out of the program we can always restart and make progress again. I owe it to Archana for giving me a heathy approach to my food and my heath.

I came across Archana/ Soulfully Healthy in Facebook/ Instagram. At this point, I was struggling to lose 12lbs that I had gained in the last 2 years. I am so glad I did this program. I lost 12lbs in the 12 weeks, but the true benefits have been far more profound. The weight loss was merely a wonderful side effect of the real gift I received - the knowledge and ability to make sustainable lifestyle choices. Archana is amazing, empathetic and was able to provide pragmatic, tailored suggestions that I could incorporate. Her guidance has given me a toolkit that I can rely on for the rest of my life. The weekly group calls were very useful as we were able to relate to the journeys of other women who were also on similar journeys - we bonded over shared recipes and inspire and applaud each other and sometimes lift each other up as we faced challenges. All in all, this has been a transformative experience - I am now more confident and have gotten back to running - I just completed two 5K races and look forward to running longer distances soon.

I am 53 and have led a pretty healthy…ish ( almost) life thus far.Walking 3-4 mil es was always a part of my life. Once I turned 40, I started making small changes. I started yoga and at first did not enjoy but stayed in it and took me about 5 years to start understanding what it really meant and enjoying it. Till this time my body always listened to me, as in I could lose weight easily after a splurge (was a blessing). But in 2019, life changed. I started gaining weight and the gained weight would be the new normal and I started getting frustrated. I tried starving, doubling the exercise and everything but nothing happened. I started menopausing and it was a mess and I was not happy. I honestly was very frustrated. I met Archana in 2024 and very reluctantly heard her at first…. when she said I was not eating enough, I was like.. What? But I decided to take a plunge and trust her! She absolutely guided me and I saw what she meant, I gave it my 100 percent and I saw the weight drop I have also made a lot of life changes past 3 years, my physical health and mental health are deeply connected so made changes that go with only what works the best for me. The best part is that I think I learnt from Archana the tools to help myself now and that’s awesome!!!

The Metabolic Reset Program with Archana was a game-changer for me. After years of struggling, I finally broke through a weight loss plateau, shedding over 15 pounds and significantly improving my overall health. Beyond the weight loss, my blood work showed major improvements. I feel more energized, focused, and healthier than ever before. I feel so good in my clothes, more motivated to exercise and stay active.This program has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to make sustainable lifestyle changes. Archana's guidance and support were exceptional. The weekly support group calls and Facebook resources provided invaluable community and encouragement. I learned & tried out so many different foods that i never would have tried before. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a holistic approach to weight loss and wellness.

Archana’s program is life changing! As a young woman, I was unsure if this would be the right program for me (as perimenopause is not my issue, of course) however, after taking a look at some of the issues discussed on her website, I realized it may be a great program for my specific struggle: losing weight with PCOS. While this regiment was certainly not an easy mental journey, Archana always knew what to say and when. I’d tried losing weight off of my own knowledge for two years at this point—but having the help of someone who is certified, it turns out, really was necessary. Archana is very knowledgeable, and is not afraid to give a push when needed, which I think are very important. As a woman in her twenties, being able to see myself as myself again, free of the struggle that PCOS brings—weight gain, fatigue, and food sensitivities—has allowed me to feel my age and feel like I am myself again, wearing the clothes I want to and having the energy to live and explore! I highly, without a doubt, would recommend Archana for anyone, and most especially for women struggling with PCOS.
