GUT HEALTH

My Journey to Healing: From Gut Struggles to Gut Wisdom

My gut issues began in childhood. I struggled with chronic constipation and persistent gas for as long as I can remember. I would have a bowel movement maybe once every 5–7 days and thought that was just how my body worked. With a known genetic predisposition, I accepted it as “my normal.”

And then there was the gas. I used to feel deeply embarrassed by the foul-smelling, uncomfortable gas that plagued me. What I didn’t realize at the time was that sluggish digestion and chronic constipation meant food was fermenting in my gut far too long—leading to not only smelly gas, but also headaches and other symptoms. It’s something I can chuckle about now, but back then, it was deeply frustrating and confusing.

So what was actually going on in my body? And why did no one help me connect the dots?

It wasn’t until I trained in Functional Nutrition that things started to click. I began to realize how much my everyday diet and lifestyle were contributing to the problem. I grew up eating a lot of processed and oily foods—think samosas, chips, fried snacks, and gulab jamuns. Delicious? Yes. Nourishing? Not quite. I had no idea these foods were fueling the fire in my gut.

But it wasn’t just about food. Lifestyle choices played a major role too. One of the biggest contributors? Stress. And not just the external kind—like school pressures or family tension—but internal stress too, from poor food choices and lack of sleep. At the time, I had no idea that both forms of stress were taking a toll on my gut and, by extension, my entire body.

Through my training, I discovered that many chronic symptoms originate from hidden viral and bacterial loads in the gut and liver, exacerbated by a poor diet, toxic overload, and unresolved emotional stress. Constipation and gas can often be linked to sluggish liver function, a weak digestive tract, and low hydrochloric acid—issues that are incredibly common but rarely addressed at the root.

Once I began shifting my habits—incorporating more whole, living foods (fruits, leafy greens, healing herbs), increasing hydration with lemon water, reducing fat intake, and supporting my liver and gut with targeted protocols—my body began to heal.

I adopted a regular movement routine, prioritized sleep, and created daily rituals that supported calm and balance. Slowly but surely, my symptoms began to fade. I realized firsthand: Everything in the body is connected. Every choice we make adds up. Even the smallest step forward counts.

This is exactly how I now help my clients—by guiding them to connect the dots in their health journey.

If you experience symptoms like:

• Gas, bloating, or constipation

• Heartburn, acid reflux, or diarrhea

• Hemorrhoids or signs of leaky gut

• Brain fog, anxiety, or fatigue

You're in the right place. These aren’t just random annoyances—they’re signs your body is calling for support. Your symptoms are messages, and together we can learn what they’re trying to say.

When you begin to address the root causes—such as poor liver health, unhealed gut lining, or underlying pathogens—you start to notice incredible shifts: more energy, clearer thinking, better digestion, restful sleep, and a deeper sense of calm in your body.

My mission is to teach you how to become the CEO of your own health. You’ll gain the tools to make the best food and lifestyle choices for your unique body, while learning how to support your system with healing foods, stress relief practices, and nourishing routines.
