Currently, we are experiencing an age of incredible convenience; it takes no more than 20 minutes to get food delivered, you can access entertainment anytime, and we now operate from our own bedrooms as if they were offices. The unfortunate thing is that young adults today are suffering from more physical maladies than any prior generation has done when they reach the same age; by age 24, many will already have been diagnosed with diabetes, those who develop hypertension have done so by age 27, autoimmune disorders, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovaries, anxiety, and irritable bowel syndrome previously belonged to the middle-aged (45 plus), but now they populate the waiting rooms of equivalent medical office locations to those in which patients 20 to 30 years of age see their providers.
This is not simply poor luck; nor has it been caused by genetics; rather, it is the predictable result of living a lifestyle that is in conflict with human biology. At CCube Homeopathy, Dr. Rashmi Chandwani has dedicated her career to uncovering the biochemical sources of the diseases listed above and they have a surprisingly narrow range of origins.
How does Modern Lifestyle contribute to Chronic diseases ?
Chronic diseases develop from an accumulation of factors over time. The human body is resilient and can withstand many challenges, but has its limits, which many people are exhausting every day by living in a modern-day urban lifestyle that continually pushes against the body’s limits in a multitude of ways.
- Sedentary Living
In cities, urban young adults average 9 – 11 hours of sitting every day – sometimes even longer! This lack of exercise slows your metabolic rate, causes you to gain visceral fat around your abdomen, reduces your sensitivity to insulin, and creates long-term low-level systemic inflammation, which is a major contributor to nearly all chronic conditions.
2. Highly Processed Foods
Urban dwellers now get more than 50% of their calories from packaged, processed, or delivered foods (take out). These foods provide an abundance of refined sugar, seed oils, chemical additives, and empty calories, while not providing enough fibre and micronutrients to maintain proper gut health and regulate hormonal function.
3. Long-term Sleep Loss
Watching screens before bed has caused our biological clocks to fall behind schedule by causing us to sleep less than seven hours a night. When we don’t get enough rest, our immune system will be weaker, cortisol will rise, insulin levels will fluctuate, and cells will age faster. Our bodies are able to repair themselves when we sleep. When we regularly experience sleepless nights, that repair process is cut short.
4. Unending Stress
Job demands, worrying about finances and comparing ourselves to others online are three examples of how we keep our bodies in a constant state of “fight-or-flight” or “low-level anxiety”. High levels of cortisol over a long period of time will inflame the lining of the gut, reduce the function of the thyroid, disrupt hormones related to sex, and lead to autoimmune diseases.
“Chronic disease does not happen overnight. It is a slow accumulation (over time) of the choices we make every day that erode our body’s ability to recover from an injury or illness until it can no longer recover”. – Dr. Rashmi Chandwani, chief consultant, CCube Homeopathy
Understanding the Epidemic
Why are so many young people getting Chronic illnesses?
The generation of young adults that we have today has grown up completely saturated with screens, fast food, and pressure for academic excellence. Thus, within years of being born, these individuals have had their gut microbiomes developed and then disrupted through an overuse of antibiotics, drinking chlorinated water, and an almost near absence of fibre in their diets.
Because of various products – such as plastics and cosmetics – containing endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), today’s young adult generation have their hormonal systems affected more than previous generations. Unlike the generations before do, today’s youth have no offset to balance these EDCs in their bodily systems on a regular basis because they engage in no physical work and/or outdoor activities every day.
At CCube Homeopathy, Dr. Rashmi Chandwani sees many young professionals (ages 22-35) in clinic for chronic health complaints such as insulin resistance, thyroid nodules, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalance and anxiety disorders. The commonality between all of these young adults is not one specific germ/pathogen, nor one defect with one gene; rather, the commonality is all of these young adults share the same lifestyle.

How Does Modern Lifestyle Contribute to Chronic Disease?
Chronic illnesses such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, polycystic ovaries (PCOD) and autoimmune diseases are rampant amongst today’s young adults. All of these diseases have some common risk factors, which are inconsistent amounts of sleep, little to no daily physical activity, consumption of ultra-processed food, and stress.
Dr. Rashmi Chandwani focusses on the holistic treatment of every patient at CCube Homeopathy because Dr. Rashmi Chandwani of CCube Homeopathy believes that the real cure for any ailment is to address not just the symptoms of illness, but also to treat the source of the issue by understanding each of her clients as a “whole” person. Modern lifestyle choices can put a strain on the health of our bodies in many ways.
Early warning signs
How is modern lifestyle affecting your Body Right now?
The human body offers a number of early warning signs that something might not be right long before a medical professional makes an official diagnosis. These warning signs are not considered ‘normal’ by Dr. Rashmi Chandwani at her practice; they are considered to be the body’s way of crying out for help. Too many young adults simply ignore their body’s warning signs by using over-the-counter medications such as pain pills, acid reducers, or caffeine instead of addressing why their body is exhibiting those symptoms.
Common Examples of What Dr. Rashmi Considers ‘Pre-Disease Whispers’
- Chronic Fatigue
- Unexplained Weight Gain
- Balding or Thinning Hair
- Skin Issues, Acne
- Irregular Periods
- Gas, Bloating, Digestive Disorders, Gut Health Issues
- Brain Fog
- Anxiety
- Headaches (Recurring)
- Poor Sleep Quality
If you can identify with three or more of these common ‘pre-disease whispers’, your body is sending you an urgent message about your current health: You have several related symptoms that are all part of a reoccurring pattern; therefore, there is likely a single source of all of these issues.
The Path Forward
What are 7 Lifestyle factors that can improve Your Health?
Dr. Rashmi Chandwani has spent years collecting clinical evidence that has allowed her to develop a list of the top seven “Foundational Lifestyle habits” to Help You Prevent and Reverse Chronic Disease.
- Sleep 7-9 hours
Your wake time should determine the time you go to bed. To prepare for sleep, remove all screens (TV, smartphone, etc.) at least two hours before bedtime. Make sure your bedroom is conducive to sleeping — the room should be dark and cool.
During the deep sleep cycle, your body resets hormones, boosts immune function, and metabolises food. No other activity can duplicate these benefits.
2. Move daily
You can prevent diabetes and high blood pressure by walking briskly (30 minutes per day) at least 5 times per week. Regular movement (exercise) is more important than intense exercise. You don’t need to go to a gym; you just need to move.
3. Eat real food
Whole foods consist of vegetables, legumes, whole-grains, quality proteins, and healthy fats. Don’t eat highly-processed foods because your gut microbiome is heavily affected by what you eat.
4. Manage your stress
Meditation, breathwork, writing in a journal, or spending time in nature are not just things to do; they are ways to reduce your body’s ability to create inflammation from stress and create a better environment for healing.
5. Reduce your screen time
The constant stimulation of the nervous system created by the digital world can cause an increase in anxiety. Taking regular breaks from using digital media (30 minutes off from using something digital every day) will help restore balance to the nervous system and decrease cortisol levels.
6. Drink adequate amounts of water
Drinking inadequate amounts of water leads to inadequate detoxification, increased levels of brain fog, and reduced ability for your body’s hormones to communicate with each other. The minimum fluid intake should be 2.5-3 litres of good clean water daily. Be sure to limit alcohol and caffeine; both dehydrate your cells.
7. Get proper holistic medical care
Be proactive; stay on top of your health so your body can function optimally. Seek advice and treatment from a holistic practitioner when you feel your health isn’t as good as it should be.
Treatment and Healing
How Do Lifestyle Modifications Influence the Management of Chronic Illnesses?
The most empowering fact about modern medicine is that making lifestyle modifications is an effective therapy, not just a preventative measure. Numerous studies show that changing one’s diet and exercising on a daily basis can lead to reversing pre-diabetes, causing fewer flare-ups of autoimmune disorders, normalizing subclinical thyroid issues and greatly improving people suffering from anxiety and depression even without the help of any drug therapy.
Lifestyle modifications will often create a gap between “healing” the environment we live in and “fixing” the physical damage that has occurred to our body’s regulatory systems. Homeopathy, as done through Dr. Rashmi Chandwani at CCube Homeopathy can help fill in that gap. Homeopathy works on a constitutional level to help restore what has been disrupted due to changes in one’s lifestyle.
The Homeopathic Difference
Why Homeopathy is a Perfect Solution For Chronic Illnesses Caused By Lifestyle Choices?
Conventional medical systems are designed for emergencies; however, many chronic and lifestyle-related illnesses are simply managed with a prescription — something breaks down, so a drug will be prescribed — examples being: hypertension (blood pressure med); hypothyroidism (thyroid med); depression/anxiety (antidepressant). Nowhere in this band-aiding approach is there a clinical evaluation (from a health provider) of why the disease state exists in the first place?
Homeopathy is a true solution because it answers why your health (and lifestyle) is broken. Homeopathy was created in 1796 by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann under the guiding philosophy of similia similibus curentur — “likes cure likes” — as such, CCube Homeopathy has developed a methodology that applies classical homeopathic principles and methodologies to the modern treatment of chronic health issues. Dr. Rashmi Chandwani has achieved incredible results using this method of treatment.
In addition to homeopathy treating the entire person, it does so using the principles of homeopathy defined as follows:
Similia Similibus Curentur
“Like cures like” means that if you take a substance that produces an effect in a healthy person, it will have the same effect on a sick person. This similia principle triggers the healing intelligence of the human body.
Minimum Dose
Potentisation is a process that dilutes and then shakes or vibrates a substance to create a remedy. The substances are first made into gas and then liquefied by water. This is followed by serial dilutions of the original substance until no toxicity is left in the dilution. The result of extensive dilutions and potentisation results in remedies that have no side effects or risk of drug dependency, and the maximum quantity of therapeutic energy is contained within the remedy created.
Totality of Symptoms
Designing an individualised treatment is also an essential part of homeopathy’s totality of symptoms principles. An individualised treatment rationale is that every person presents their health (totality of symptoms) differently, therefore no one receives the same remedy for the same condition.
The totality of Symptoms as well as the individualisation of the person will determine what remedy is prescribed. Each patient will receive a different remedy even though they may have the same diagnosis. The mental state of the person, their emotions, and how each person’s body functions are the determining factors for prescribing a remedy.
Vital Force
The Vital force or Dynamis is the life force that controls all functions of the body. When the Vital force becomes disturbed the patient will develop a chronic disease and homeopathy will help to re-balance the Vital force.
ROLE OF MIASMS IN CHRONIC DISEASE
Miasms indicate that chronic diseases do not only arise from lifestyle factors, but rather from an inherited and deeper pre-disposition called a miasm (Psora, Sycosis, Syphilis and Tuberculosis). Dr. Rashmi Chandwani will assess each patient’s miasmatic history to understand how one person’s level of stress may cause them to have thyroid problems, whereas another person’s level of stress causes them to have skin diseases; therefore, she understands what has caused these chronic diseases and can use homeopathic remedies to treat the chronic disease where lifestyle factors alone would have failed.
CCube Homeopathy’s CCube Method
Dr. Rashmi Chandwani’s Approach to Treating Chronic Conditions at CCube Homeopathy
The distinction between an effective and an extraordinary homeopath lies in the thoroughness of the case-taking process. Dr. Rashmi Chandwani uses a three-phase systemic protocol to ensure all principal aetiological factors are recognised and incorporated into decision-making regarding remedy prescriptions at CCube Homeopathy.
- In-Depth Case Taking
The initial phase involves a complete history (1-1½ hour) of all possible areas of concern, including; physical symptoms, emotional history, sleep patterns, dietary preferences, family history of illness, stress triggers, and type of constitution. Dr. Rashmi Chandwani has the view that this is to “listen to the entire individual.”
2. Miasmic and Constitutional Analysis
Beyond assessing symptoms, CCube Homeopathy will consider the miasmic history and type of constitution of the patient to determine their most profound level of disfunction, enabling the selection of the most appropriate remedy to restore the patient to their original state of well-being.
3. Complete Healing Plan — Integrated Approach
The homeopathic remedy will be integrated into a comprehensive healing plan by Dr. Rashmi Chandwani in conjunction with a tailored plan for each patient that incorporates diet, lifestyle, and stress-management techniques — thereby providing the patient with more than just a remedy for their symptoms.
Conclusion
The Epidemic Is Real — But So Is the Way Out
Today’s way of life — lack of movement, poor sleep habits, excessive amounts of time in front of screens, high levels of stress — is causing a crisis in chronic disease that is going to be one of the most significant issues facing public health over the next generation. But this epidemic does not mean that you have to be part of an epidemic of disease. Each time you make a good food choice, get your sleep at night, move your body by walking, and deal with your stress in a healthy way, you are voting for your overall health and success.
But sometimes, making those lifestyle changes is not enough, and your body requires a different type of support to heal fully. Homeopathy, as administered by Dr. Rashmi Chandwani at CCube Homeopathy, provides what no pharmacy can provide — a true path back to your original self, physically, mentally, and emotionally — not by masking the problem, or simply managing it, but by providing you with deep, effective healing.
If you are restless and fatigued, experience problems with your hormones, have been getting sick regularly, have digestive problems, or experience some kind of mood issue, do not label this a symptom of stress. Your body is trying to tell you something. CCube Homeopathy and Dr. Rashmi Chandwani are there to hear what your body has to say and to provide you with support, so you can heal from the inside out, once and for all.
