Abstract
Obesity is a complex condition with global prevalence reaching almost one-third of the world's population. It affects all ages, genders, and backgrounds, although older individuals and women tend to be more affected. In this case, a 36-year-old male business person leading a sedentary lifestyle presented with severe obesity (Class-3), hypertension, low back pain, fatigue and umbilical hernia for the past few years. The individual received 30-days of naturopathy treatments and diet intervention program. The treatment was provided through a personalized and customized protocol at Ipcowala naturopathy and yoga center (INYC) a residential naturopathy facility located in Vadodara, Gujarat. The findings indicated a significant reduction in body weight (from 130.74 kg to 116.60 kg), Body Mass Index (BMI) (from 41.76 to 37.25), Blood Pressure (from 140/100 to 130/86), as well as a notable decrease in back pain related disability and fatigue levels on scale. The patient experienced an overall improvement in functional health and reported an enhanced sense of well-being. Notably, the individual exhibited improvements across all domains of the WHO Quality of Life Bref scale. This case study strongly suggests that the naturopathy treatment, a tailored diet plan and fasting can serve as a beneficial intervention for reducing obesity and associated comorbidities. Further large scale studies are needed for observing effect of individual naturopathy therapies.
