High Blood Pressure, along with IBS, is a sign of ongoing inflammation in the body

Case study of a 63 year old suffering from hypertension, IBS and weight gain

LIFE BEFORE ATMANTAN

A 63-year-old man, who has battled Hypertension for 20 years and IBS for the past decade, came to Atmantan seeking meaningful relief and a holistic approach to his long-standing health challenges.

HEALING JOURNEY AT ATMANTAN

During the doctor’s consultation, his IBS was reviewed as a case study, with discussions also covering his long-standing history of high blood pressure. He further reported experiencing cervical and lower back pain, along with persistent fatigue. The guest also had a surgical history of Coronary Angioplasty conducted six months ago. (Presently, he was consuming medications for hypertension, antiplatelets to prevent clots and statins for high cholesterol!) He also complained of loosely formed stools and incomplete evacuation of the bowels. (As per him, he passed 4-5 times motions a day). After some additional diagnostics, the guest was prescribed the 7 Nights Weight Balance Retreat, as the excess weight he was carrying was aggravating his current condition.

He was put on a personalised low-carbohydrate and moderate-fat, anti-inflammatory diet, along with dietary probiotics. All this was supplemented with herbal, homemade Kada preparations (given to address IBS symptoms and leaky gut) along with herbal supplements to treat H. pylori and bloating, nourish the gut, and curb gut inflammation. Antioxidant supplements were also administered to improve vascular health and reduce oxidative damage.

The therapies included physiotherapy and personal sessions for flexibility improvement, as well as body therapies to release trigger points.  All this really helped ease the tension in the muscles and reduced his spasm as well. For pain management, he was also given sessions of manual mobilisation with physiotherapy techniques, including chiropractic alignments.

By the end of his 7-day retreat, his blood pressure, which had been 139/94 mmHg on admission (with medication), had normalized to 122/84 mmHg—achieved without any medication during his stay. This marked a successful hypertension case study, and he was advised to continue monitoring his BP going forward.

Additionally, his IBS symptoms improved, with the frequency of bowel movements reducing to 2–3 times a day. His cervical and lower back pain also eased, with his pain scale dropping from 5 to 3 (cervical) and 4 to 1 (lumbar), alongside notable improvements in his range of motion.

He also experienced a weight reduction of 2 kg (from 79.8 to 77.7 kg), with visceral fat dropping by 1 point (from 19 to 18) in just a week. He left Atmantan with a personalised diet plan and the confidence to maintain his normal blood pressure, improve his mobility, and continue a healthier lifestyle.
