As the Harpenden Ambassador and volunteer for the UK charity, The Public Health Collaboration, Eranda is a passionate patient advocate for anyone suffering from type 2 diabetes, prediabetes or obesity: it’s possible to reverse* these through simple and manageable lifestyle changes, to feel happier and healthier, and to live a life of abundance. (*technical term is remission)

It starts with hope, the simple idea that “things can get better for me and there is a realistic way for me to feel happier and healthier”. Hope combined with support opens up a world of possibilities. It doesn’t take superhuman effort or willpower, it just takes the willingness to believe things can get better and to take small steps to make it so, with support every step of the way.

Eranda is also the proud dad of a wonderful little boy and considers himself the luckiest husband in the world with the most brilliant, beautiful and supportive wife he could hope for. He is grateful every day for how positive changes have transformed his life for the better.

Eranda Wickramasinghe reversed his Type 2 Diabetes in twelve weeks using a low carb approach. It wasn’t for the lack of willpower, he had run 13 marathons. It was the advice that was the problem. He found hope by having a strategy that he could make significant changes to improve his health. There was no stopping him. 

He now works to bring home to others do the same in his community as an ambassador for the Public Health Collaboration UK. He considers himself a role model for others around him who want to make the change and improve their health and their lives.

1. Don’t panic - have hope - that is where it starts
2. Chose the style of change that suits you
3. Focus on yourself and don’t waste your energy on convincing others
