BACKGROUND

Former AI Product Manager · Big Tech

THE STORY

"I was told my gut issues were permanent. I spent 10 years proving that wrong — for myself, and then for thousands of others."

I'm a gut health scientist and practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience reversing conditions that conventional medicine had written off. I work at the intersection of Functional Medicine and Ayurveda — two systems that, together, address the root cause rather than the symptom.

Before building GutIQ™, I was an AI Product Manager at a major tech company. That background changed how I approached health — I don't just treat, I measure, systematise, and build roadmaps. GutIQ™ is the result: a patented diagnostic that turns gut symptoms into a Score, a Type, and a personalised protocol.

WHY AKANKSHA

01

Clinical depth, not coaching depth

10+ years of hands-on practice across Functional Medicine and Ayurveda. Trained at four world-class institutions. This is not a certification course — it's a decade of reversing complex cases.

02

Systems thinking from big tech

A background in AI Product Management means she approaches health like an engineer — finding root causes, building measurable protocols, and systematising results. That's why she built a diagnostic, not just another programme.

03

Specialist in the "impossible" cases

The clients who come to GutIQ™ have typically already seen multiple specialists. The harder the case, the more important it is to get the root cause right — and that's exactly where this approach excels.

WHAT SHE BUILT

GutIQ™ — the world's only patented gut diagnostic.

Most gut health advice is generic. GutIQ™ turns your symptoms into a measurable Score, identifies your gut Type, and builds a Roadmap unique to your biology. Not a diet plan. A diagnostic system.

WHO WORKS WITH GUTIQ™

CEOs & Senior Leaders

High-performers whose gut, energy, hormonal or metabolic health is affecting their performance and longevity. They need answers, not protocols — and they need someone who understands what's at stake.

Chronic Disease Sufferers

People who have tried everything — multiple specialists, restrictive diets, medications — and still haven't found the root cause. This is exactly the case GutIQ™ was built to solve.

Global Clients, Complex Cases

Clients across 25+ countries — parliamentarians, film industry leaders, business executives. All work is done remotely. Geography has never been a barrier to the right care.

The "We've Tried Everything" Cases

If you've been told your condition is permanent or incurable — that's precisely where GutIQ™ works best. The harder the case, the more important it is to get the root cause right.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"No one has ever connected my symptoms this way before. Within two weeks I felt better than I had in years."

CLIENT · LONDON, UK

"I had tried everything — diets, specialists, medications. Akanksha found the root cause in the first session."

CLIENT · DUBAI, UAE

"The GutIQ™ score gave me something I never had — a number I could actually track and improve over time."

CLIENT · MUMBAI, INDIA
