Your Gut 101 : How to Support It, What's Ruining It and How to Rebuild It After Antibiotics with Microbiologist Kiran Krishnan
What if the key to healing your body—and your mind—starts in your gut?Could anxiety, low energy, and inflammation all trace back to the same place?And what if the secret to balance isn’t adding more, but restoring what’s already within you? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with microbiologist and gut health expert Kiran Krishnan for a fascinating, eye-opening conversation on how our gut influences everything—from digestion and mood to immunity and mental clarity. Kiran breaks down complex science into simple truths about how the body really works. He shares why our gut is like a living rainforest, how stress and antibiotics disrupt its balance, and what it actually takes to rebuild harmony within your system. Together, Radhi and Kiran explore how small daily habits—like eating slowly, adding bitters, and embracing probiotics—can shift not just your digestion, but your entire sense of well-being. This isn’t just a conversation about gut health. It’s about reconnecting with the natural intelligence of your body and remembering that healing doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be conscious. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why 99.9% of microbes in your body are helping, not harming you How stress directly impacts your digestion and mental health What antibiotics really do to your microbiome—and how to recover Why slow eating and digestive bitters can transform how you feel The connection between gut health, mood, and better sleep How to create a daily routine that supports balance from the inside out If you’ve been feeling tired, foggy, or disconnected from your body, this episode is your reminder: healing doesn’t start in the mind—it starts in the gut.

How to Boost GLP-1 Naturally (You Don’t Need Ozempic)
What if your body already carries the medicine the world is selling you?Could a handful of lentils, oats, or greens do what injections promise?How does your body already whisper “I am full, I am balanced”?Could everyday spices and rituals be the most powerful weight-support tools we have?Are you listening to your body’s signals—or outsourcing them to quick fixes? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia unpacks the hype around Ozempic and introduces listeners to GLP-1, the natural hormone that regulates hunger and blood sugar.

Framed by her belief that the body is a gift to be honored, Radhi offers a refreshing alternative to quick fixes: practical, loving ways to work with your body instead of against it. This conversation is an invitation to work with your body, not against it—and to see food as medicine, not an enemy. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why Ozempic may create more problems than it solves How GLP-1 actually works to regulate hunger and fullness Everyday foods that naturally stimulate GLP-1 Why bitter, fibrous, and fermented foods are secret weapons How sleep and stress hijack your appetite A compassionate way to heal your relationship with food.
