Madhuri Dixit’s husband Dr Shriram Nene is a cardiac surgeon and practiced medicine in the US for many years before he moved to India with his wife. For the past many years, Dr Nene has been working in the healthcare field and supporting young entrepreneurs in the sector. During a recent panel discussion, Dr Nene revealed that after his last annual health check-up, he found out that he wasn’t doing very well, and so decided to make some steep changes in his lifestyle. He stopped drinking and decided to go vegan and as a result, Dr Nene lost around 18 kgs, and went down to 16 percent body fat.
On the video shared on his YouTube channel, Dr Nene said that after his last annual health check-up, he found that he was in “big trouble.” “People were screaming at me because all my numbers were off. They were like, ‘Doc, what are you doing? You are the healthcare one in the family,” he recalled and said that he decided to switch things up after that.
“About 9-10 months ago, I switched it up and I went vegan, stopped drinking. We went on all kinds of transformation, testing it and I was my own guinea pig,” he said and added that he had tried something similar with his father whose health started improving in his 80s. So much so that Dr Nene could pull him off his diabetic medication as well.
“I had been testing it on hundreds of patients. And it was able to redefine many of the lifestyle diseases. My dad has been a diabetic for 55 years. We were able to take him off medication, turn him around. He was 81 when we started that experiment, he is 86 now and doing very well,” he recalled and said that he decided to do the same changes in his life. “I said ‘why can’t I do that on myself? So I did that. Along the way, we dropped 18 kgs. We went down to 16 percent body fat,” he said.
Dr Nene actively shares lifestyle and health tips on his social media.
