The Neurotransmitter Impacts Of Sharing Healthy Behavior On GOQii Arena

GOQii ArenaOn GOQii Arena, we share our food, activity, moments, posts, and other health-related daily routine activities. Many players use the Arena as a platform to showcase their healthy habits and inspire others to adopt similar behaviors. But have you ever wondered why sharing these healthy habits in the GOQii Arena can be so rewarding? In this article, we’ll explore the neurotransmitter impacts of sharing healthy behavior and how it can impact our health and well-being.

How Sharing Healthy Habits Impacts Well-being

When we engage in arena activities such as sharing, liking, and commenting on health-related content, our brains release neurotransmitters that can impact our mood and behavior. For example, sharing health-related content can trigger the release of oxytocin, a neurotransmitter that is associated with bonding and trust. This can create a sense of community and support among individuals who share similar health goals.

Similarly, when we receive positive feedback, such as likes or comments, our brains release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This can create a positive feedback loop that encourages us to continue sharing our healthy habits and receiving positive feedback from others.

Commenting on a post can stimulate the release of serotonin, which is associated with feelings of happiness and well-being. Clapping or reacting to a post can trigger the release of endorphins, which can create a sense of euphoria and pain relief. Sharing a post can stimulate the release of oxytocin, which is associated with bonding and trust.

Accountability & Motivation Through The GOQii Arena 

Sharing healthy habits in the arena can have several positive impacts on our health and well-being. When we share our healthy routine with others, we can feel a sense of accountability and motivation to maintain that routine. Additionally, receiving positive feedback from others can boost our confidence and self-esteem, which can have a positive impact on our overall well-being.

Furthermore, sharing health-related content in the arena can inspire others to adopt similar behaviors, which can have a ripple effect on our healthy communities. By sharing our healthy habits, we can encourage others to prioritize their health and well-being, which can lead to a more health-conscious society. Overall, these neurotransmitters can create a sense of community, support, and positivity on social media, promoting our mental and emotional well-being.

By understanding the neurotransmitter impacts of the GOQii Arena engagement, we can make more informed decisions about how we engage with others on these platforms and use them to promote positive health behaviors. By sharing our healthy habits and receiving positive feedback from our communities, we can create a virtuous cycle that supports our health and well-being.

Devesh Srivastava Lowers His HbA1c from 6.7 to 5.8 With GOQii

Devesh SrivastavaHave you ever suffered from a cold or fever and thought to yourself that you can manage this? In fact, there’s a good chance that with some medication and rest, the symptoms of a cold or fever have subsided. But, when you deal with issues such as Diabetes and Hypertension, trying to manage the issue on your own might not be such a good idea. Our Player Devesh Srivastava came to realize that personalized health coaching is the best way forward!

Life Before Joining GOQii 

Devesh Srivastava is a 52 year old investment banker residing in the city of Ahmedabad. He was always keen on joining an app-based fitness solution. Back in 2014, he heard our Founder & CEO Vishal Gondal speak at an event. He says, “What he said connected well with me and I was looking forward to joining something like GOQii, but it never happened”.

While he did have a normal routine, he wanted someone to look over him and guide him towards a healthy lifestyle. He says, “Before the pandemic, things were manageable but during the pandemic, the situation was difficult as you were at home the whole time. Earlier I would walk with my friends and colleagues but then it all stopped during the lockdown. I did not have a proper routine and that created a weight issue”. 

During this time, Devesh Srivastava tried creating his own regime and restricted his diet to reduce weight. “I’ve seen other people reduce weight by doing their own things. So I decided to try as well. But, my sugar levels were not reducing,” he said. He was also on Diabetes and Hypertension medication. 

Joining GOQii and Making Lifestyle Changes 

After several trials and errors of trying to manage his health by himself, Devesh Srivastava said that he needed someone to keep a watch on his health and guide him properly. So, he came to the decision to subscribe for GOQii’s Personalised Health Coaching in November 2021. 

“The coach’s guidance worked well for me. She made simple and doable changes,” he says. Some of these changes included: 

  • Have soaked Methi seeds in the morning
  • Increase salad portion before lunch and consume fruits as mid-meal snacks 
  • Eat healthy evening snacks which include dry fruits, fruits or roasted snacks.
  • Eating an early dinner
  • Reduce carbs from dinner and replace them with fiber and protein
  • Drink green tea in the evening 
  • Begin the day with Surya Namaskar 
  • Increase steps count gradually

Apart from the above changes, his GOQii Coach kept a close watch on his food consumption, water intake, sleep and exercise, making timely corrections as per requirements. 

What Changes Did Devesh Srivastava Experience? 

Within 4 months, Devesh could experience changes in his health. As his journey continued, within 7 months he was able to lose approximately 7kg. From 80kg, he came down to 74.6kg. His waist size had reduced from 36 inches to 34 inches. 

In his current report, he found that his blood sugar and cholesterol levels had lowered down. “With Coaching, I feel better,” he says. “My stress levels are better managed. I am also able to sleep well for at least 6.5 hours daily,” he added.

What Does Coach Sakshi Agarwal Have To Say About Her Player? 

When he came onboard, he was overweight. His height is 170cm and weight was 80kg. His waist size was 36 inches and his BMI was 27.7. He was suffering from Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. His Triglyceride was also high at about 180.

Fortunately, Devesh Srivastava is a very sincere player and was always enthusiastic about taking on all the challenges I threw at him. He tried his absolute best to complete them. Within 4 months, he has made remarkable progress. 

Apart from reducing his weight and waist size, his blood sugar and cholesterol levels have also reduced. His HbA1c reduced from 6.7 to 5.8. His Triglyceride levels reduced from 180 to 148. His Blood Pressure reduced from 97fbs – 135pp to 85fbs – 119pp. 

He is quite happy with these transformations and I appreciate his positive response to my suggestions as well as his  dedicated approach to improving his lifestyle! 

Do you have a condition similar to Devesh Srivastava? You too can make a positive lifestyle change by getting the right guidance and motivation from certified experts. Join the GOQii Diabetes Care program – India’s only diabetes program that is driven by Smart Science and Personal Coaching to improve Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS), Postprandial Blood Sugar (PP), reduce HbA1c levels and let you win gold!

GOQii Revolutionizes UK Healthcare: Indian Health Coaches Transform Patient Care

The UK’s National Health Service (NHS), a multi-billion dollar government enterprise, has long been a cornerstone of healthcare provision for millions of citizens. In an innovative turn of events, the NHS is now benefiting from the expertise of an Indian company, GOQii, through digital health coaching. This partnership marks a significant evolution in how healthcare is delivered, with Indian health coaches operating remotely to help improve the health of UK citizens.

Traditionally, Western markets have utilised Indian talent primarily for call centres and back-office operations. However, GOQii is shifting this paradigm by leveraging Indian health coaches to provide direct patient care. This model reduces costs and brings a new level of personalised health management to the NHS.

In collaboration with the Modality Partnership, a leading provider of primary and community care services in the UK, GOQii has made significant strides in enhancing patient care. Over the past year, this partnership has reached over 3,000 patients across 44 GP practices and introduced 24 specialized condition management programs targeting non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

The synergy between GOQii’s innovative healthcare technologies and Modality’s extensive care delivery network is driving remarkable outcomes. The partnership is dedicated to reducing the burden on the NHS by revolutionizing the management of lifestyle-related diseases, which cost the UK economy over £13 billion annually. With a focus on prevention and personalised care, GOQii’s approach is yielding impressive results. Patients have reported an average reduction of 5.5 mmol/mol in their HbA1c levels, and 90% of patients have been able to reduce their medication thanks to tailored personal coaching.

At the heart of GOQii’s strategy is its robust digital health ecosystem, which integrates personal coaches, health experts, doctors, and diagnostic tools onto a single platform. This comprehensive approach ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their specific needs. The GOQii App, a cornerstone of this ecosystem, facilitates seamless interaction between medical devices, diagnostics, doctors, and personal coaches. This integrated model provides continuous support, transforming complex healthcare needs into manageable, effective solutions.

Abhishek Sharma, Co-Founder & CEO of GOQii UK, emphasizes the impact of this approach: “We started operations in the UK to collectively pioneer a holistic approach that empowers individuals to take ownership of their health journey. GOQii integrates personalised, real-time insights into the daily lives of people living with NCDs, enabling improved quality of life and clinical outcomes.”

The collaboration between GOQii and Modality is not just about technology; it’s about bringing hope and better health outcomes to patients. Dr. Vipan Bhardawaj, Modality’s National Lifestyle Medicine Director, states, “Our Care Management Programmes are unique in the UK. We offer our patients hope that they can reverse aspects of ill health, come off medication, and look forward to adding life to years as well as years to life.”

Since announcing its UK operations in 2022, GOQii has committed to investing £10 million in the UK’s healthcare sector over the next five years. This investment underscores GOQii’s dedication to fostering innovation and excellence in patient care, fully aligning with the NHS’s values and long-term plans for promoting healthier living and prevention.

As GOQii continues to expand its footprint in the UK, its commitment to pioneering innovative, effective healthcare solutions remains steadfast. This collaboration exemplifies how technology and global talent can be leveraged to create more efficient, patient-centered care models. GOQii is not just treating conditions; it is fundamentally transforming lives and leading the charge towards a healthier, more sustainable future.

The integration of Indian health coaches into the NHS framework represents a significant step forward in global healthcare. By providing high-quality, cost-effective care, GOQii is setting a new standard for international health collaborations and proving that the future of healthcare lies in the seamless blend of technology, expertise, and compassion.
