Ashima Dalela Beats Gut Health Issues and Anxiety With GOQii

You might have heard the saying, “Almost all diseases begin in the gut.” If gut health issues are left unchecked, it can get worse and affect your mental health too. Our Player Ashima Dalela suffered from gut health issues which led to severe anxiety and she visited around 15 doctors who were unable to identify the cause. But, she was able to fix the issue with simple lifestyle changes suggested by her GOQii Coach. How did she tackle her gut and anxiety issue? Let’s find out!

Life Before GOQii

Ashima Dalela is a young working professional based in Ghaziabad. For the longest time, she suffered from stomach issues and anxiety. Multiple doctors were unable to diagnose what was wrong, with some saying it was GERD and stomach infection. One doctor told her that it was IBS and her gut problem has combined with anxiety. Finally, one of the doctors she visited suggested GOQii.

Identifying the Issue & Making Lifestyle Changes

Since she onboarded, Coach Meenakshi was assigned to Ashima Dalela. Coach Meenakshi began by tackling the stomach issues and acidity. She prescribed specific foods to improve her gut health. She coupled nutrition with exercises such as asanas for the stomach, all of which slowly and steadily brought about a change.

Initially, Ashima faced some difficulty in walking. So she was tasked with completing 2k steps a day. She was also skipping meals due to her situation and her condition was only getting worse. Despite some hurdles, Ashima stuck to the habits given by her GOQii Coach. Thanks to her dedication and her GOQii Coach’s constant motivation, she was able to fix her gut health issue as well as her anxiety. She now enjoys the live sessions on the app and always browses through Healthy Reads. She also enrolls for challenges within the app.

Initially, her mother was skeptical about the coaching aspect but after seeing positive results, she is convinced that the coaching works. In fact, the entire family has adopted healthy habits. Her goal now is to stay active and gain healthy weight.

What Are Coach Meenakshi’s Thoughts About Ashima Dalela’s Journey?

When Ashima came on board, she was very nervous about her health issues. She wanted to control:

GERD with symptoms like acidity in the morning, vomiting sensation, stomach upset, burning sensation, bloating and gas after meals
Anxiety (20%, 1-2 anxiety attacks in a month because of health problems related to the gut) with symptoms like dizziness, increased heartbeat and numbness in hands and legs.

Now, her GERD has reduced by 95% without any symptoms after introducing habits like lemon water, detox water, eating slowly, adding curd, rice, kanji, etc. Anxiety levels reduced by 95% without any symptoms. Now, she can cope easily with any arguments/bad news.

She has been practicing meditation, deep breathing and is generally more positive. Ashima doesn’t feel stress and anxiety while handling physical, mental and emotionally taxing situations.

We changed to a new health goal on 15 August 2020 as she wanted to be more active in 3 months as she was unable to do any activity in the morning and evening because of work. She felt lethargic in the evening after office work. She was also facing haemorrhoid issues and irregular cycles.

She feels 85% improvement in activeness with asanas, exercise and daily walks. Her bowel movement is fine with more water and salad intake. Menstrual cycle also continues now in September with the habit of seed cycle.

We’re now working with a new health goal from 10 March, 2021 – She wants to gain weight up to 53kg (weight was 50kg on March 10). Her current weight is 51kg thanks to the added habits of eating nuts and seeds, post workout meals and employing strengthening exercises.

To take a glimpse into Ashima’s inspiring journey with GOQii, watch her GOQii Health Story session with our Founder and CEO Vishal Gondal along with her GOQii Coach Meenakshi, Doctor Viral Thakkar and Divya Thampi here –

इंटरनल ऑर्गन की कार्यप्रणाली में सुधार करता है: विभिन्न अंगों के हिस्सों में में रक्त प्रवाह बढ़ता है और उनके कामकाज में सुधार लाता है। परिणामस्वरुप आपका पाचन तंत्र और गुर्दे बेहतर कार्य करने वाले हो जाते हैं, जो भोजन से पोषक तत्वों के बेहतर तरीके से एब्सॉर्ब और मेटाबोलिक वेस्ट को निकलने में मदद करता हैं। पेट में अटकी हुई गैसों और बेहतर एंजाइम के सिक्रेशन से स्वाभाविक रूप से डिटॉक्स होता है।
वजन कम करना: वजन कम करने के सबसे सिद्ध तरीकों में से एक है रोजाना सूर्य नमस्कार करना। यह एक संपूर्ण कसरत है जिसमें पूरा शरीर शामिल होता है और पेट के आसपास वजन कम करने के लिए बहुत ही लाभदायक है। यह भी साबित हो चूका है कि यह थायरॉयड ग्रंथि के कामकाज में सुधार लाता है, जो मेटाबोलिज्म में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है।

स्ट्रेस बस्टर: स्ट्रेस रिलीज कई तरह से होता है। डीप फोकस्ड ब्रीथिंग उनमें से एक है। आसन करते समय श्वास पर नियंत्रण बहुत आवश्यक है और इसलिए तनाव नियंत्रण सुनिश्चित किया जाता है। विभिन्न मांसपेशियां और हड्डियाँ स्ट्रेस से तनावपूर्ण स्तिथि में आ जाती हैं, और स्ट्रेचिंग के द्वारा इन तनावों को दूर करने में मदद मिलती है। वर्कआउट के दौरान दिमाग भी शांत रहता है और इसलिए तनाव से राहत और भी बढ़ जाती है।
अनिद्रा से राहत: जिन लोगों को नींद नहीं आती उन्हें नियमित रूप से सूर्य नमस्कार करना चाहिए। तनाव से राहत और संपूर्ण कसरत दोनों ही अच्छी नींद सुनिश्चित करते हैं।
