Adjunctive Mantram Repetition Program to Promote Lifestyle Modifications for Managing Impaired Glucose Tolerance: A Case Report from the USA

We report the case of a 63-year-old man with impaired fasting glucose who was unable to lose weight, engage in exercise or omit refined carbohydrates from his diet until he initiated the Mantram Repetition Program (MRP). Four months following implementation, the patient had lost weight and fasting glucose levels decreased to near normal. These parameters continued to improve at nine months. The patient attributed his success to the adjunctive mantram repetition program which also improved his mood and wellbeing. Implementation of the MRP may be a useful adjunct to promote lifestyle changes in patients with mental health diagnoses.
