Gut Goddess Talks

A Highly Sentive Gut, with Karolina


Listen Later

In this episode, Rafaela sits down with Karolina — yoga practitioner and body awareness coach — for an honest conversation about what it really means to understand your body from the inside out.

Karolina shares her journey from teenage near-anorexia and years of unexplained bloating (normalized across three generations of women in her family), through a six-year vegan phase, an IBS diagnosis with zero dietary guidance, and a pivotal trip to India that changed everything — to finally uncovering her lactose and gluten sensitivities as an adult.

But this isn't just a story about food. It's about the moment she realized her body wasn't broken — it was speaking. And how that realization became the foundation of her work helping women move beyond appearance and reconnect with how they feel.

In this episode:

  • Why bloating can be invisible when it's all you've ever known
  • The link between eating disorders, body image, and gut health
  • How a vegan diet and travel reshaped her relationship with food
  • What IBS actually looks like when doctors don't give you answers
  • The power of finally knowing — lactose, gluten, and the yogurt that proved it all
  • How inner body awareness became her professional mission
