Most patients with diabetes or weight problems have been managing symptoms for years — adjusting medication, trying diets, getting yearly reports. The RESET Program takes a different approach: instead of managing the condition, it targets the root cause.
RESET is a structured, doctor-led 12-week programme designed to reverse lifestyle diseases through metabolic correction, personalised nutrition, and regular monitoring. It is not a crash diet or a supplement plan. It is a supervised medical programme with measurable outcomes.
RESET is designed for patients dealing with:
Obesity and weight gain that hasn't responded to dieting alone
Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes — particularly those wanting to reduce or come off medication
Fatty liver (NAFLD)
PCOD and hormonal weight gain
High blood pressure and cholesterol linked to lifestyle
It is especially suited to busy professionals who need a structured plan with clear timelines, not open-ended lifestyle advice.
Eligibility is confirmed at the initial consultation. Not every patient will be a candidate for the full programme — the first appointment is a clinical assessment, not an automatic enrolment.
Outcomes over 12 weeks (individual results vary):
5–12% reduction in body weight, depending on metabolic profile and treatment plan. For patients on medication-assisted protocols, outcomes at the higher end of this range are common.
Measurable improvement in HbA1c and fasting sugar
Reduction in medications where clinically appropriate — always under medical supervision
Improved energy, sleep quality, and daily function
The programme is built around five pillars:
R — Rebalance Metabolism - Identify and correct insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction — the root cause of weight gain and blood sugar problems in most patients.
E — Evidence-Based Nutrition - Personalised diet plans based on your metabolic profile, food preferences, and lifestyle. Vegetarian and customised options available. Not a crash diet.
S — Structured Monitoring - Regular tracking of weight, waist measurements, and metabolic markers — so changes are visible and the plan adjusts based on results.
E — Expert Guidance - Doctor-led supervision throughout the programme. You are not handed a plan and left to manage it yourself.
T — Transform Lifestyle - Practical, sustainable changes to activity, sleep, and stress management — designed to outlast the 12 weeks of the programme.

At the start of the programme, a comprehensive blood panel is done to establish your metabolic baseline — and to guide the treatment plan. This goes well beyond a standard health checkup.
Fasting Blood Glucose, HbA1c, Fasting Insulin, C-Peptide (Fasting)
Identifies insulin resistance and early metabolic dysfunction
Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, Non-HDL Cholesterol
AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), ALP, Bilirubin, GGT
Serum TSH, T3, T4 — Serum Cortisol (morning sample) — Vitamin D3 — Vitamin B12
hs-CRP, Uric Acid
Urea, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium
Haemoglobin, WBC, Platelets
Please note: 8–10 hours fasting required before the panel. Cortisol sample is best collected at 8 am. The baseline panel must be completed before the first consultation.
The RESET Programme is supervised by Dr. Shalini Joshi, Senior Consultant, Internal Medicine and Diabetologist. Dr. Joshi collaborates with a trusted nutritionist, fitness coach, and yoga practitioner who are available to RESET patients on an optional basis — patients who want that additional support are given their contact details at enrolment and engage with them directly.
The RESET Program is available at the evening clinic, Akshaya Nagar, Bengaluru, and via structured video consultations for patients anywhere in India.
If you think RESET may be right for you, the first step is a standard consultation with Dr. Joshi. At that appointment, she will assess your profile and walk you through the programme in full — whether it's appropriate for you, what it involves, and what to expect. All questions on cost, medication, and labs are answered at that consult, before any commitment is made.
