MCAS. POTS. Hypermobility. GI symptoms that don't quite fit the usual boxes.   On this episode of The Gut Show, Dr. Alexis Cutchins joins us to unpack what cardiology has to do with GI—and why these systems are far more connected than most people realize.   We dive into the emerging overlap between cardiology, gastroenterology, and immune-driven conditions, exploring why these patterns so often show up together, what red flags clinicians should be watching for, and why GI symptoms may actually start far beyond the gut—especially when dysautonomia, heart palpitations, dizziness, and persistent fatigue are part of the picture.   Mentioned in this episode:  MASTER Method Membership FREE IBS Warrior Summit Take the quiz: What's your poop personality? MCAS episode   About our guest:  Dr. Alexis Cutchins is a board-certified Cardiologist and founder of Cutchins Cardiovascular Medicine. I began this work after years of caring for patients with POTS, MCAS, hypermobility, and other conditions that many doctors were not prepared to manage. My dedication to this patient community is what led me to build a practice centered on their needs. I wanted to create something different for people who are often under-recognized and left without answers. At Cutchins Cardiovascular Medicine, we provide inclusive, high quality support for those living with complex chronic illness.
