Why Your Gut Issues Aren’t Going Away – In this transformative episode of the Illuminations Podcast, founder Soniyaa Kiran Punjabi sits down with certified nutritional therapist Ayesha Gambhir to uncover the real reasons so many people continue to struggle with gut issues—despite eating clean, taking probiotics, and doing “all the right things.” From chronic bloating to anxiety, from acne to hormone imbalances, they dive deep into the hidden links that conventional medicine often overlooks. Learn how functional testing provides clear answers, how stress and absorption sabotage your healing, and why no two wellness journeys are the same. 🌿 This is more than just gut talk—it’s a guide to healing from the inside out. 0:00 – Welcome to Illuminations: A Journey to Conscious Living1:19 – Meet Ayesha Gambhir: From Skin Struggles to Soulful Solutions2:57 – Blood Work vs. Functional Testing: Digging Deeper Than “Normal”5:01 – Gut-Brain Connection: The Hidden Link to Mental Health7:08 – The Absorption Dilemma: Why Healthy Eating Isn’t Always Enough8:44 – Dubai Digestive Dilemmas: Skin, Hormones & Constipation10:23 – The Raw Truth: When “Healthy” Foods Backfire13:17 – Gut Health & Weight Loss: More Than Just a Summer Fix14:11 – Cortisol, Stress & Inflammation: The Hormonal Web16:01 – Against the Trend: Keeping Wellness Simple & Sustainable17:02 – Organic or Not?
