My name is Tim Lodge, and I am proud to represent Great Britain as a Paralympic canoeist. At 53 years old, I reflect on a journey that has been anything but ordinary one defined by perseverance, transformation, and the unwavering belief that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

Canoeing was a passion of mine as a teenager, but life took me down a different path. For over two decades, I worked in the corporate world. Then, in 2013, everything changed. I received an unexpected call from my former canoeing coach, who asked if I’d consider training as a Paralympic athlete. At that time, I was far from being in shape, but something inside me said “yes.” That moment sparked a transformation that would define the rest of my life.

Over the past year, Dr. Kapoor and I have worked together to manage my chronic inflammation and improve my overall wellbeing. Through a combination of fasting protocols and advanced shockwave therapy, we’ve achieved incredible results. For the first time, I experienced a significant reduction in inflammation and a dramatic improvement in blood flow to my legs and feet.
Before surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff, I followed a fasting regimen and received Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) therapy. Despite a lifelong history of high blood pressure, my pre-surgery readings were completely normal something I had never experienced before. It was a profound moment of validation for the healing power of this approach.
Following the surgery, I resumed fasting and, to my amazement, my surgical scars healed within just nine days. This wasn’t just a physical transformation it was a mental and emotional breakthrough. Fasting became a powerful tool, helping me manage inflammation while sharpening my mindset and mental resilience.

At the 2023 World Championships, I weighed 105kg. Today, I compete at 85kg. This 20kg weight loss has alleviated immense pressure from my feet and significantly enhanced my performance. But more importantly, it has improved my quality of life.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Ash Kapoor and everyone at Levitas Clinic. Their knowledge, care, and commitment to my journey have been nothing short of life-changing. The results speak for themselves not just in medals, but in the simple, priceless ability to walk on a sandy beach without pain.

My journey continues, and I’m more excited than ever about what lies ahead. The partnership with Levitas Clinic has given me more than physical relief it’s given me hope, strength, and the belief that no challenge is too great to overcome. Tim Lodge extends his sincere gratitude to Dr. Kapoor for his instrumental support in helping him regain both his professional career and quality of life.
