Case Study — How Rahul Gained 12 lbs of Muscle for His Wedding & Improved His Thyroid Health
Client Background
📍 Who He Is: Rahul, a 29-year-old Indian immigrant living in New York, USA, working as a software engineer.
🏠 His Lifestyle:
• Always struggled to gain weight and build muscle.
• Was naturally lean but felt “skinny-fat” with no real muscle definition.
• Had low energy levels, occasional brain fog & trouble focusing at work.
• Wanted to look stronger & healthier for his wedding in 8 months.
• Blood tests showed borderline hypothyroidism (TSH slightly elevated).
🔄 His Struggle:
For years, Rahul faced:
❌ Difficulty gaining weight despite eating a lot.
❌ Feeling tired all the time, even with enough sleep.
❌ Fluctuating appetite — some days eating a lot, other days very little.
❌ Low muscle tone & soft physique — no matter how much he worked out.
He had tried random workouts, whey protein shakes, and force-feeding himself but never saw lasting results.
The Medical Wake-Up Call: Blood Work Before TNV Transform
📊 Lab Results Before TNV Transform:
• TSH: 4.8 mIU/L (borderline hypothyroid, slowing metabolism)
• Free T3: 2.7 pg/mL (low normal, causing low energy)
• Free T4: 0.9 ng/dL (lower end, affecting metabolism & muscle growth)
• Fasting Insulin: 6 mIU/L (good, but needed more muscle insulin sensitivity for growth)
• Vitamin D: 15 ng/mL (low, impacting energy & recovery)
His doctor suggested monitoring his thyroid function and increasing calorie intake, but he had no structured approach.
💡 He needed a smart bulking plan — without just adding fat.
Why He Chose TNV Transform
Rahul didn’t need another “eat more, lift heavy” plan — he needed:
✔ A structured muscle-building program that supported his thyroid.
✔ A meal plan that increased calories without bloating or fat gain.
✔ A sustainable bulking approach that helped him build muscle the right way.
