Ep246 – Your Gut Knows the Truth: Dr. Selvi Rengasami on Healing from the Inside Out
Have you ever felt like your body was trying to tell you something—but you just weren’t sure how to listen? In this powerful conversation, we explore what it truly means to heal from the inside out. This episode dives deep into the connection between gut health, self-trust, and the stories we tell ourselves about wellness and worth. It’s a reminder that transformation doesn’t just happen in the body—it begins with awareness and courage to rewrite your story.
In today’s episode of the Inside Story Podcast, I’m joined by my friend and client, Dr. Selvi Rengasami, a Western-trained doctor who found her true calling through her own battle with chronic illness. After enduring years of pain and surgeries, Selvi turned inward and discovered that real healing begins when we listen—to our bodies, our emotions, and our stories. Her transformation from patient to healer is one I know will inspire you.
Tune in to our conversation as we talk about:
How Dr. Selvi’s seven surgeries became the wake-up call that changed everything
The moment she realized food could be medicine—and why she stopped accepting “this is just how it is”
What it means to move beyond remission into true wellness and vitality
Why gut health is about so much more than digestion—it’s tied to confidence, calm, and emotional alignment
How storytelling gave Dr. Selvi the courage to connect with clients and grow her business authentically
The surprising link between your gut and your ability to set boundaries and trust yourself
Practical ways to start listening to your body and rewriting your health story today
Dr. Selvi’s journey reminds us that healing isn’t just physical—it’s a story of rediscovering who we are and what we’re capable of. When we share that story, we open doors for others to heal too. Listen in, reflect on your own inside story, and don’t forget to follow Dr. Selvi on Instagram at @dr.selvi.coach to grab her free Digestive Relief Toolkit. Then, share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that their healing—and their story—matters.
