Could your fatigue, brain fog, and hormone issues all trace back to one root cause—your gut?


In this powerful solo episode, Dr. Cassie Smith, a functional medicine endocrinologist, dives deep into the gut-health connection behind chronic fatigue, brain fog, unexplained weight gain, hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune conditions. Drawing from her personal health journey and clinical experience, Dr. Cassie introduces her proprietary framework of six gut health types and explains why gut dysfunction is often the missing link in conventional care.


She explores how symptoms like bloating, mood swings, thyroid dysfunction, and poor sleep often trace back to unresolved gut issues—and how true healing begins with personalized protocols, not one-size-fits-all fixes. This episode sets the foundation for a more detailed discussion in part two.


💡 You don’t have to be a Modern Endocrine patient to get started—gut health testing and GI Maps are available across all 50 states and Canada!
