Description

On this episode of the Optimize W(e) Podcast, actor, entrepreneur, and health advocate Megha Gupta shares how she turned a life-altering diagnosis into a catalyst for strength, resilience, and transformation.

At 32, Megha was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes after a period of immense stress—the sudden loss of her father and her mother’s cancer diagnosis. Rather than letting medical labels define her, she chose to redefine what was possible for her health and life.

From driving solo across India right after being told she shouldn’t, to lowering her HbA1c from 17.8% to 5.8% without a traditional specialist, Megha’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Plus—hear about her upcoming climb of Mount Kilimanjaro and her mission to change the narrative around diabetes in India, the “diabetic capital of the world.”

This is not just a story about health. It’s a story about defiance, intuition, and becoming your own best advocate.
